Time to get back in the saddle
Great to see you back Carl :D I 're-joined' about three weeks ago after very similar circumstances, and am really enjoying forcing myself to find more camera time. Forgot how much I missed it :D. Hope you find the same. Barmouths a great base for that part of the world. Great landscape ops in ...

Time to get back in the saddle
Thanks Tim - good to be back!. Llanfair looks like the sort of place my 6 year old son will certainly enjoy - he loves going down mines and caverns. Cwm Bychan looks perfect, I think I did the Rhinogs many years ago during a 3 day trek around Snowden - that one may be a bit much for me at the moment...

Hi Carl, I live just down the coast from Barmouth(Tywyn) and was raised in the village Llwyngwril. Lots of interest within the area and within a hr drive. If you google the points listed below you should find plenty of info bud. As mentioned Cwm Bychan, also cwn Nantcol. George III Hotel and ...

Time to get back in the saddle
Hi Carl, some suggestions beyond those mentioned:- 1) Ynys Hir Nature reserve, used for the BBC's Springwatxch series a year or two ago, is on the south side of one of the estuaries. Sorry, I forget which. 2) Very near to that (~2 miles) is a swan or otter sanctuary. 3) A little further ...

Hi Carl, glad to see you back. You are off to a wonderful part of the world and I look forward to seeing your pictures. The sunsets are remarkable that side of the country too. Enjoy, relax and shoot loads 😊

Thanks for all of the tips Rob, Keo, Barrie and Andrew - looks like I should have booked the cottage for a month ! :D Good to be back guys - for the first time in a long time - got up this morning - sun shining - and thought - grab the gear and get out! Carl

Time to get back in the saddle
I know the struggle of work/life balance. I keep promising to get out and it never seems to happen anymore. I do think that sometimes, I just need to say "sod it, I'm going". I might not get decent shots, but at least I'll get some practice in. I can also recommend Portmeirion. If you get a nice...

Hope you have a great time whatever you decide Carl. I can't get about as well as I did and driving is out the question but have a couple of friends at the camera club who take me out for the day on Saturdays. :)

Time to get back in the saddle
Hi Carl Why not try Llandanwg Church, good beach too. The Victoria Inn, Llanbedr does good food, Welsh Black burgers are recommended :D Cregennan is good, Cader Idris makes a great back drop. If you go to Llanberis, Pete's Eats is good and the Anglesey Barracks are close by and provide ...

There are of course the dunes at Ynyslas, which are excellent for moody mono shots :)

Time to get back in the saddle
As previously mentioned, the precipice walk is lovely, as well as Dolgellau itself...The Toll bridge at Penmaenpool is atmospheric (stayed in the old station there a few years back, now an annexe for the Pub) and you can walk or cycle along the old railway all the way to Barmouth, Tallylyn, Ffestini...

H Stu Assuming you have done the obvious and cleaned the connections and had the same settings on the body for the 55-300 - it may be part of the lazy SDM issue these are known for. With my 17-70 - if I have not used it for a couple of weeks - sometimes - but not always - and more so in cold w...

Hi Stu Yes - I understood that from your first post. The point is - in my experience - with the 17-70 - focus can look fine with the camera indicating focus is locked in, but if the SDM is not quite right - camera will not fire Yours may be a completely different issue Stu but what you descri...

Is this true?
You beat me to it Andrew, the CRB is now called a DBS and there are two forms, a (£25) that anyone can get or an enhanced version (£44) that only an employer can apply for (they send you a link). Once you have an enhanced disclosure you can then pay to have it on whats called an update service ...

review k1
Some have come and gone, like the Samsung models, but by my understanding of the definition of 'DSLR' we're back to the core 3 of Canon, Nikon and Pentax. What's most encouraging at this stage is that the K1 looks likely to sell with some decent unit numbers, and not just a niche item for a few d...

'...who choose to afford to pay ...' Clever phrasing there, and I suspect it relates more to the truth than the usual 'can/can't afford it'. Financial situations very widely of course, but in these days of easy credit it is usually the case that we can have what we want, if we are prepared to incre...
