tamthebam Posted February 18, 2018 Share Posted February 18, 2018 The Eclipse of a few years ago- got lucky because the mist that descended on Arthur's Seat that morning acted as a nice filter. The Sky smiled that day- Edinburgh City won the Lowland League! I borrowed somebody's eclipse glasses and held them next to the lens for this one... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rizzo Posted February 18, 2018 Share Posted February 18, 2018 Is anyone on this thread using the Canon 6D? Thinking of upgrading this coming payday as my old 550 is struggling. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thinking of upgrading this coming payday as my old 550 is struggling. I had one for about two year before switching to Sony. It's an excellent value full frame DSLR. Not great for action shots etc as I think it's max is 4fps. It was ideal for me though as it performs well for landscape and night sky type stuff. You'll need to upgrade your lenses as well though. You can't use EF-S lenses with full frame. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mackie The Staggie Posted February 18, 2018 Share Posted February 18, 2018 Not been in the thread as often as I would like and spent that past 10 mins catching up, some really cracking photos here, always love a long exposure on running water. After giving the Snowman a miss with the camera last week, so first outing this year was with the Highland Wildcats and their Academy Community League. Bright blue skies hide the fact it was bloody cold, may have now managed to thaw out now. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had planned to chuck my lenses anyway as they're also way past their best. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Faster frame rate, ludicrous number of focus points and the advantage of the the x1.6 crop factor (if you're needing zoom reach).

The 6D replaced a 5Dii as I couldn’t afford a 5Diii, and I got the 7Dii recently which replaced a 70D which was great, but the 7Diii was going for £800. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bring Back Paddy Flannery Posted February 19, 2018 Share Posted February 19, 2018 Not been out this weekend due to watching us skelp TNS in Oswestry and I'm still too rough today to take advantage of my day off BUT...Me and the good lady have just invested in a lovely wee Mazda Bongo campervan which is fully converted and raring to go. She really enjoys coming on trips with me and I've been forking out loads for hotels/cottages over the last year so it seemed a wise investment. I pick it up on Wednesday night and I'm buzzing out my boobs that I'll no longer need to get up at 4am for sunrise.Here she is in all her glory (pic taken by the current owner)**I've nae idea why folk blank out reg numbers but I thought I'd better do it anyway incase my bank account gets frauded and my house gets ransacked. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very nice. Fancy one of these myself one day. Agree 100%, the money spent of hiring a cottage for a week here and there soon adds up and this is a good investment plus the freedom it gives you. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
