    Starting new cage

    I've used sketch up before and it's not bad for a free program. I do have solid edge though! :D It looks good and would definitely work! Even though you're making it 5' tall, i still think you're losing a bit too much space inside the enclosure. Personally, I'd make it 2.5' x 1' x 1'4" x 1' x...

    Best DSLR camera for my needs?

    I much prefer shooting that way! I really hate the LCD screens! Not at all a feature that interests me! I went for the 450D to start me off! It ticks all my boxes for a starting camera (that I will one day no doubt upgrade! :P)

    Question about macros... What's the deal with the focal length on macro's? Is it that with a 60mm lens you have to be closer to focus than you would with a 100mm lens? If that makes sense? Thanks all!

    Free Range Pictures

    I was thinking about this, but in the end just build a massive enclosure! Best of both worlds! That might help, but it might not! It's 3' x 4' x 8'.

    Best DSLR camera for my needs?

    OK is what I'm after for now is it not?! I've read the review and it seems pretty complementary for the price! I know they're not going to be amazing, but they are pretty staple lenses and I should be able to resell them in the future if I want to upgrade! :D Final question (honest...) is the...

    Best DSLR camera for my needs?

    Right, question: Is, 18-55mm + 55-250mm (both IS) worth getting for £225 plus postage? I'm after an 18-55 obviously, but the 55-250 might be nice as a ok zoom lens... Any thoughts?

    Just had a flick through and they seem to rate the 18-55mm IS pretty highly over the standard. I've found it online for £10 more than the standard, so I may as well buy it! I think it will be a good standard lens for the future so why not pay that little extra? It's only like 3 beers down the...

    New Enclosure Preliminary View

    That looks great to me! I always think the plant pot bit is wasted space as your cham never goes past it so it's a great way to get around it! Well done!

    It took me years to get onto that book.... Sweet! I'm asking the guy I'm buying it off what he suggests too as I just saw that he sold off a nice macro lens just the other week! Gutted! I could have had them both! The first proper thing I'll use it for is me and the gf on holiday (hence...

    Best DSLR camera for my needs?

    Right, well, I think I've just secured a canon 450DD for £275 (just waiting for the final confirmation from the guy) so I'm pretty damn happy! Now....... I need to buy myself some glass! Suggestions please! :P Just a good starting lens for now will do!

    Best DSLR camera for my needs?

    I think i have this! I came so close today to just buying a 450D then backed out last second! I should have done it but thought I'd wait a bit! I decided that I wouldn't be able to choose the make I'd side with myself (Canon/Nikon/Sony/etc) so I let the sports photographers decide for me...

    Our first not-so-humble calyptratus terrarium
