Discussion: Weekly Competition #7: Age
Don and Chris are right, the weekly competition should be a fun exercise between like-minded people , and judging it should be open to any winner, novice or expert. Everyone has an opinion, and should be entitled to express it. If you are judging and a particular picture takes your eye, just declare...

Discussion: Weekly Competition #7: Age
As far as I'm concerned, 'the judge' decides if they like or don't like a picture. If they can give a reasoned argument of why, then all the better, but for me it comes down to gut instinct. I can appreciate the qualities that go into ... whatshisname ... benjikan's images, but they leave me col...

candid shot
When you're coming all the way from Essex, that last 150 metres is 'just' up the road. :wink: :lol: Haven't been there since September last year, had the feeling Jessops was fairly near the top of the High Street - good enough reason to come back to Cornwall, just to check on your measurements!...

I've been playing about with shooting candids recently as well - here's one I took on holiday recently which I liked because you can see the image the lady is taking on her own camera: This one I liked because of the expression on the subjects face even though the focus point isn't quite rig...

First efforts with extension tubes
I think you ought to be very pleased with your results. Of the first batch, I like the first pic mainly because it's isolated from a cluttering background. The orange glad' is the best of the second batch. On a future occasion, try placing black card or cloth behind the subject to eliminate any d...

Home printing....Again
Following on from my midweek post regarding High Street printers, I got two sets of 8 X 12 prints at a couple of places, was disappointed in the quality (subjective compared to ProAm). Since I have, what is supposed to be a great printer (Epson R340) attached to my PC but never been happy with th...

Taking pics of a lunar eclipse
We have a lunar eclipse coming up on the 28th and it will be visible on the east coast of Aust. I was planning on taking a couple of shots but i am not sure what the optimum camera settings are and what would be the best lens to tackle it. The longest i have is my Tamron 28-300 (would this be suffic...

Taking pics of a lunar eclipse
Found this one on E-Bay Aust Thats about 100quid for the buy it now price. That's a manual focus one. Personally, I wouldn't touch that with a barge pole. It's got fungus, and cosmetically it looks quite battered. Mine is much nicer. :)

HP's regionalised printers - "Gripe warning"
Wonder which manufacturers will be next to do this? I for one hope that Zanussi don't somehow prevent Spanish washing powder/liquid from working in a UK washing machine :D :D :D This could get really silly. Just wait until George gets back on Sunday.

HP's regionalised printers - "Gripe warning"
Well, its back to the drawing board for me, too. I was waiting for the release of the D7460 before buying one since this is the only printer that fits my requirement (cheap and network ready) as a basic colour printer and emergency photo printer. I wonder how many sales this policy will cost the...

Harvest!
My OH brought a sunflower seed back from a field in France. The seedling got eaten by slugs :( It has been so wet that we had a plague of slugs. They were so hard to control and they seem to be coming back. Time for some more nematodes.
