500D : The Communities
If you have just shelled out your hard earned cash on the new Canon 500D then you might be looking for a few good resource sites to help you get the best out of your camera or to put your creativity on display. I have listed 4 useful sites or groups that offer a great community for 500D owners.
1. 500D Vimeo Channel
This channel features amazing high definition video produced using the digital SLR’s video settings. Upload your video and tag it 500D and the moderators will ensure it makes its way into the channel. The channel can be found here.
2. 500D Vimeo Group
A little different to a channel the group offers the ability to discuss video productions and tips on how to create the best video output directly from the camera. I have gained from the group on learning about suggested lenses etc. Join the group here.
3. 500D Flickr Group
A Flickr pool featuring only images created using the Canon 500D camera. Submit your best photos, view and comment on photos taken by others and even ask questions in the group forum. There are just under 200 members who are all keen to share and learn. Click here to view the group.
4. MyBestPic
Having posted what I think is my best photo to Twitter, fellow twitter user José Picardo suggested the idea of a hash tag and allow other Twitter users to submit the best ever photos. The hash tag is #mybestpic and we have also created a flickr group so users have a permanent gallery of those submitted. The group is here.
It is certainly a fantastic camera and we would love to see your photos in the MyBestPics group. If you are still at the temptation stage then buy the camera at a bit less than I did !
