I shoot with a Canon 70D and the 50mm prime (nifty fifty) and I am more than satisfied. Since the lens doesn't have zoom you need to move the cam, but the results are great. I also have a Sigma 17-50 2.8 but the 50mm is a tad sharper. And it's the cheapest lens you can get, so you can't go wrong

Looks like a useful piece of equipment I would try to work on the color scheme a bit. Maybe use grey for the axles and the link to the Unimog and red for the rest of the trailer. Or combine black and grey to match the Unimog. Seems like you are a big Unimog fan

Yup, different forum: http://www.eurobricks.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=99480

Wow! This turned out to be one heck of a MOC! I very much like the brick-built exterior!

True!

Clever. Didn't think of extrapolating the range Interpolating is actually a better term.

New information for 2015 sets have been posted, so I have unpinned this topic!

I seriously don't think it has anything to do with bandwidth.

If you are posting in 10 Facebook groups, there's a good chance that there are people who will see the same message 10 times. That's indeed quite annoying. So stick to the two Technic groups.

Let me reverse the question; why do want to reach out to each and everyone? Just post your content here and on one or two facebook groups. Problem solved (probably).

This is probably 1H?

Hi Paul, I wouldn't worry so much about it. When you post something here, you will find out soon enough whether people are interested in your topic. Not everybody will be interested, but that's only logical. What matters are the ones that do show some appreciation. I feel this is a bit like posting on Facebook. When I am posting the same useless stuff over and over people get annoyed. When I post useful content now and then, people tend to like it better. So by checking the response on your posting behavior you should be able to draw your own conclusion. And if you are posting is not in sync with forum rules, you also find out soon enough All things considered; there's a single person who has left you a negative comment, while there are several hundreds of not thousands here on EB (and FB). That's not a bad score Chin up and keep going about your business

Hi, Is this a list of rumored sets for 2015? If so, I will separate this info and start a new topic. Long Distance Race Car will probably utilize the new Batman tumbler wheels

Where's your beard?!

True! This probably depends on your JPG settings and internal JPG processing of the DSLR. I can only assume that a professional photographer won't shoot JPG if the quality of RAW would be significantly better.

The first line says it all "A big problem in 2008 is...". Personally I think the objections Ken raises are a bit outdated. Back in the days we used < 1 GB memory cards (okay probably more, but we couldn't buy a 32GB card for 50 euro). Same goes for hard drive space. Storage is not really a big issue anymore. Furthermore modern cams have the possibility of shooting RAW in multiple formats, so you are not restricted to the max resolution. I shoot max resolution RAW which results in a 26MB picture, but I can also choose to select smaller RAW formats. RAW is indeed slower than JPG but my cam still shoots 7 pics a second in full resolution. I do like these two arguments Ken is using: If you shoot hundreds or thousands of images in a day shoot JPG and don't worry. If you love to tweak your images one-by one and shoot less than about a hundred shots at a time than raw could be for you. He is right that RAW always needs software to be able to publish your pictures. On the other hand, most (digital) photographers do apply (minor) corrections to enhance their images, so they will be importing them into software anyway. And if you want to use your pictures right away, you can always use the RAW + JPG option. For me the versatility of RAW trumps every argument to use JPG. Especially with product photography. Disclaimer: I am by no means a professional photographer so it's just an amateur's opinion...possibly pro-am but no more than that

What cam are you using? What I forgot to mention is that I use RAW instead of JPG. This offers better options when editing in Lightroom or Photoshop. If there's an option to shoot RAW....use it. Although shooting RAW won't make up for everything of course.

That's a nice video Sounds like you took the logical approach. It's not very difficult. You simply need to know some basics and invest some time to experiment. This is actually my first DLSR so I don't have any prior experience either.

Congratulations to all of you! You can all be very proud of your achievements

This is one of the best looking super cars I have seen to date. Reminds me that I need to get an extra rechargeable battery and two or three extra PF LEDs, so I can start building this baby. Nice work Blakbird, and Brunokjj1 of course!

Cool! Glad to be of assistance. I recommend reading up on the three variables you use when shooting pictures, aperture, shutter speed and ISO level. That's basically all you need to you. But using Av with F18/F20 with ISO 100 will suffice for shooting LEGO. Let me know if you run into anything. I don't know your budget and whether you want to do more with the camera but the 700D is available in The Netherlands for around 500 euro with kit lens. I still recommend using the 350D, which perfectly fine for what you are trying to accomplish. You might want to consider the Nifty Fifty though. It's a cheap lens, but the IQ (image quality) is superb!

LoL

It looks tiny sitting next to you
