Do you use a web Gallery?

I use SmugMug. It offers lots of controllability in how your images and gallery are displayed, allows you to upload photographs up to 12MB each, and if you pay extra allows larger than that and storage of RAW files. Linking to other places such as here is a doddle. In addiition it's easy to c...

Second hand warranties

Wonderful SRS offer 1 year warranties on 2nd hand DSLRs anyway, so not an issue really (most dealers only go to 3 months!) I really meant buying from individuals. I am thinking of buying from an individual who can supply proof of purchase (with the 2 year warranty, expires 2012 marked on receipt...

Second hand warranties

If you go to the shop with the receipt and the item surely there shouldn't be a problem. If I buy an item with cash and less than 1 year after purchase have to take it back as defective, the seller can't argue as they are quite unlikely to remember me from the time I've bought it - if I take my r...

f I buy an item with cash and less than 1 year after purchase have to take it back as defective, the seller can't argue as they are quite unlikely to remember me from the time I've bought it - if I take my recent SRS purchase back to Chris he wouldn't be able to tell me from a fictional irish drunk ...

Royal Mail rant

Have been using royal mail very regularly for a long time without any complaints. Recent events however may make me think about other options; Sold a lens(£20) on ebay 2 days before going on holiday, buyer paid straightaway and I posted it Signed for second class the day before going on holiday. G...

what is your opinion in taking good pictures?

Take the camera with you everywhere you go, and keep the 35-70mm lens attached to it as that'll be the most useful of your collection for most situations. That way you won't miss anything that would make a good photo. Read about depth of field, and get used to using your camera in Av or Aperture...

what is your opinion in taking good pictures?

get a notebook. write down the settings you used for every shot.... then when your images come back, look at the photos and the negatives.... and make notes of which shots you like best and which ones come out closest to what you wanted when you took the picture...

Ok Guys Where are you?

It's nice to know where people are, I like the fact that as a 'UK' site there are so many international members. We have a growing international family on the site,but not everybody has filled in there location in their profile. Just go to 'My Settings' and make sure your location is in the bo...

Thanks all ........... but time to move on

Why do people feel the need to justify a change of equipment to the forum before going .. why not just disappear quietly into the night. If I visited you in person I would not leave without saying goodbye, so it seems strange to me not to say goodbye after a few years of popping in on this forum. ...

A topic for boring ppl like me :p

The top one the FA* 250-600 f/5.6 would go perfectly together with a DA*60-250 f/4 don't you think? :) Re-release it as a DA* and it would be perfect! Indeed, with SDM and quick-shift focus. They can also bring the price, the size and weight down if they adapt it for the APS-C sensor. :)

Broken Laptop

At long last, an update. After ignoring the first two letters (second recorded mail), a third was sent last week (again recorded mail). This plainly expressed that if no reply was forthcoming by the 15/10 the matter was going to the small claims court. Lo and behold, Currys rang back the very ...
