Maybe gone for a lower angle to hide the background with the cars, but that may have been difficult without a wide angle lens.  | ||

On some Digital SLR's such as the 350D you have to multiply the the size by 1.6, it is to do with the smaller sensor size on Digital cameras compared to 35mm  | ||

Posts: 1586 | As a bit of interest for anyone who has or interested in buying any Canon products, this turned up in the EOS Email Newsletter So I thought I would spread the word a little as it is local Demo day at Southampton EOS Magazine will be attending the Canon in-store demo day on Saturday 2 December 2006 at The London Camera Exchange PRO Centre on Civic Centre Road, Southampton. The event runs from 9am to 5.30pm. There will be an opportunity to meet the experts from Canon for in-depth demonstrations and answers to your queries on the latest EOS products. There will also be a huge line-up of DSLRs, lenses, Speedlites and accessories from the EOS system, with special offers and part-exchange deals. Available on the day is a free EOS sensor clean by a Canon technician. Also in attendance will be Bodoni Gretag providing full demonstrations of Spyder, printer and monitor colour printing systems. Special prices will be on offer. Unfortunately I won't be able to make it as I will be playing dodge the speed camera van in South Wales over the weekend | ||
