  1. Get a diffuser for it as well like this, makes the light softer: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/New-Flash-Diffuser-Bounce-for-Canon-580EX-I-II-Speedlite-Speedlight-UK-/271089505940?pt=UK_Photography_Flash_Diffusers&hash=item3f1e319694 The 565 is so similar to the 580ex it fits fine!
  2. is the currys one the IS II lens also? I noticed some were advertised cheaper with the non IS lens Pretty sure the only the 1100D comes with the non-is lens, but best to check in store.
  3. Neil, I have the 650D and it is a cracking camera, im sure the results you will get from the 600D will be great. The first thing I swapped was the standard 18-55 kit lens for the Tamron 17-50 f/2.8 VC, which is a relative bargain compared to Canon's 17-55 equivalent. The kit lens gave me about £70 towards the cost when I sold it. I also own the 50mm f/1.8; I have used it maybe 3 times in total, I find the quality of the Tamron is that good that I dont need to use it. I have a Canon 55-250 IS which only cost me about £110 brand new; this is a bargain and I only wanted a longer lens for rare occasions when Im watching motorsport. With regards a flash, I have a Yongnuo 565 which is great; it works off camera without any additional wireless triggers. It is a TTL (Through The Lens), so it is totally automatic. Get a decent bag for holding everything in, and also a smaller front loading one if you want to just take the camera and one lens with you. Oh and if you havent already bought it from the link you posted, it is £20 cheaper in Currys with the same deal. Hope this helps
  4. One of my favourite sounds, theres a few round here by me
  5. They look great with the Azure paint; think im either going to be sensible and get an OEM silver finish or go wild and get a bronze
  6. How about the bronze colour that the Rota GTRs come in? Hmmmmmmm
  7. if you could post them in here that would be great!
  8. Hi all, My car is booked in to have the wheels refurbished next week; I did say to him I wanted the standard colour... However, I am now thinking maybe a slightly different colour would set the car off a little more. I dont want to go too dark, but maybe a shadow chrome? Any suggestions are appreciated. In addition to this picture, I will shortly be having the roof wrapped in a gloss black as well Thanks
  9. Hyundai Matrix. How Pininfarina designed this, then admitted the atrocity by badging every single one is beyond me. AND they put the badge where the window is supposed to be, but for some reason isn't! I imagine that it is the most bland, uninspiring, wallowy car to drive, but even if it was any good... THAT WINDOW!!! Its like someone was drawing it on an etch a sketch and sneezed. Only click the below link if you're feeling very brave.. you have been warned! http://www.cubacarhire.co.uk/images/photos/hyundai-matrix.jpg

    PM on its way regarding wheel nuts...
  11. Well I suppose there is no comparison between the hydro graphics you do and the wrap stuff, so I don't blame you
  12. Rich, If you would like me to send you a sample so you can put it somewhere in the jaaaaaaaaag to test send me a pm
  13. I would link where I got mine from, but the shipping took more than a week so im sure there are better sellers out there! Its easily findable on ebay
  14. Sounds like a much better plan. You sir, are a genius. Or i'm a fool....
  15. Looks great. Where did you get the badges from? I have seen them online, but £40 each from the US
  16. I tried to do my rear strut cover last night, all was good up until the "Z" in the middle! Took me 3 attempts to get to an acceptable finish, but its still not perfect. Also, when getting the carbon wrap i tried the new "4D" style, and its a lot better than the original 3M stuff
  17. +1 for the Z8; seals the bodywork great, but I only use it after a 'proper' clean. Not cheap though!

    Clean Z!

    Love that roof wrap; I have the material just need a non windy, sunny day and some courage!
  19. Almost bought one of these a couple of years ago; really wish I had! yours looks great though
  20. No problem will bring some with me. Cheers Beavis, top man
