I don't care what gear you use...
I agree about equipment, it's the image that counts, whatever gear you use. Look at the pictures Bwichmawr gets with his very modest equipment. Modest, moi? I'll say. I've never spent more than a tenner on any lens (except the kit zoom, I suppose)! But one thing (inter-alia) which I've learnt d...

New Mexico north into Canada,
End of Jan? Don't leave out a visit to Jackson Hole Wyoming. The snow (and there will be a whole lot of snow) really brings out the scenery. The Tetons are awe inspiring, you can actually go over the top of the Rockies (Togwotee Pass) and back to Jackson in one morning, drive into Idaho and back ...

Landscape Photographer of the Year 2010
Does anyone else get fed up with seeing these type of competitions and galleries awash with HDR? Very much so. Though paradoxically I'd be very pleased to have taken (and PPd) any of those. Funny how your perspective shifts as you move from creator to critic. But would you have PPd them so much?...

Cold innit?
Hit +40'C today just south of Perth. Off up to the Pilbara tomorrow as it's really warm up there. The flies, the flies. Looking forward to being back in the North East UK for Xmas/New Year. Best regards

Cold innit?
Had to go out taking pics for work in Dudley yesterday. It was brutally cold, my extremeties were freezing and I mean all of them. I am not stepping out of the house today! Browsing flights to the Canaries seems a good way to while away the time, although i'm just back from Tenerife ;) Less than...

Cold innit?
I'm glad I'm still not in my narrowboat, with no heating except a woodburning stove.... getting up half an hour early to light it before scuttling back to bed was not much fun, especially on work days :wink: But then again sitting by the fire on a frosty Sunday afternoon, looking across the froze...

Cold innit?
I'll go back to age 6 in 1947 when we were in Yorkshire and my father carried me to School - the snow was above his wellies so I would have sunk almost without trace :) Since then - well in January I seemed to have 2 ins of ice everywhere . Today I've managed to keep things a bit better - and ...

Cold innit?
By the 'eck I will . I've seen enough and despite all the snow removal I've been doing [ resulting in a very sore back and 2 exceedingly sore arms ] I still can't get my car out of the garage !! The road outside my house is kept gritted and salted - so it's fine - I just can't get to it :( ...

Cold innit?
It was 25 degrees when I got up this morning in Qatar, but now it's -3 in London. Can't say I've missed the weather. I did similar a few years back. Left Jeddah at midnight - 30C. Got to Heathrow in jeans and a t-shirt and it was -1C and snowing. :roll:

Cold innit?
Groovy music in that film, eh! And not a fluorescent yellow hi-viz jacket in sight... Navvies were more picturesque in them days! Algi. I know times were hard back then... But pee soup!. Was that a Campbells or Heinz variety?

Antivirus Programs - AVG Problem
Running Win 7 and Avira I've only had one problem, that seemed to be a bug piggy backing a genuine Microsoft download 2 months back. The system stopped, needed a re-install and the offending update had been deleted/repaired by Microsoft. Since then no problem.:wink: Last time I used Norton ...

Snow Problems - Snowy Village
It always amazes me that some people try to turn a good steak into a piece of leather before eating it. Blue is perfect, but if its a bad cut you might want to overcook it to medium rare. Unfortunately some restaurant's idea of medium rare, is well beyond medium. Personally I'd avoid the tinnie...

Facebook and Twitter
I think that comment is a tad OTT. No-one is asking you to join them - it's a personal choice. I know that some camera manufacturers are using Twitter to get feed back from people , and Black Rapid Straps are doing a daily give away on their Twitter feed . Facebook - well I have absolut...

How times change
I stopped getting AP a while back, but I scan it from time to time. I know what you mean Kris, nearly all my old colour negatives are ISO 100,there are a few '200s but...:wink: The race for higher ISO speeds has lost me! I use auto sensitivity on my K200d, but have it capped at 400. It very...
