Great photos as always Redeye :) What camera/settings/lenses do you use?

Im using a mixture of stuff, but for this event I was using a Canon digital SLR 350D body with a sigma DC digital only 18-200 lense f3.5 lense and a Sigma TTL Speedflash.

The low light was incrediby lhard to deal with tbh and i should have bought a low light lense with me rather than a long lense, but I guess the pics will pass.

I would usually run at about f2.8/25th/s in low light and ISO at around 400-800 but this event meant i had to work hard to get anything remotely workable and I ended up using 1600 ISO which adds a lot of grain to pictures with no flash. Not ideal and I think I will be trading in my 70-300 Sigma for a lower aperture lense this week.

Wow :O

How did you learn so much about photography? :)

well i dunno really, my step father had an interest and i kinda stole his to mess about with as a youngster, but back then it was no digital just normal SLR's and film. I kinda just learnt as i went, experimenting and so on.

A lot of the stuff I read is out there on the net, good forums with advice etc, so I suppose im self taught, but I would hardly say I had a vast knowledge of it, its a hugely complex world, but with a relatively small amount of learning you can get some pretty cool results with a good camera.

I do shoot other stuff in between events but mainly buildings or landscapes which most people would find boring i guess. : http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/27243290/ for example is my deviantart which needs drastic updating, but im lazy. or this one : http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/27243625/
