OK, I'll ask.
I would love to move back to Spain next year. Since returning to the UK 18 months ago I have really struggled to find anything interesting enough (for me anyway) to photograph. I miss all the fiestas, weird bugs and different birds. Sadly it won't be for another couple of years at least.

2010- I was lucky as i lost no friends. Did a lot of traveling in 2010 and wish I could go back with the K5, although some of the Landscapes just needed better lighting conditions and I guess the weather is just down to luck when you are moving on from one place to another due to limited time. Howe...

In 2011 i aim to take more photos (i was pitifully bad at this in 2010) take loads of photos of my son and husband and explore another country (Bali) in February Bali will be full of Australians.....wearing G strings (flip flops) and carrying stubbies (drinks). They have a wonderful view on life. ...

Well 2010 is nearly over. I, like others, have lost friends and relatives. My travelling has increased. Have those events influenced my photography? Were you happy with your photography throughout 2010? Most of it yes. :) 2010 was a big photography year for me. after a hiatus of nearly ...

OK, I'll ask.
2010 was a very bad year for loosing friends, right up to one very unexpectidly on xmas eve :cry: Have these influenced my photography? Yes - the first one I lost was a photographer all his life, and my photographic activity this year has entirely been triggered by our last conversation together....

2010 was eventful. March - Brother-in-law had a brain haemorrhage the night we arrived in Christchurch (NZ), our 25th Anniversary return trip down under. Hung on for 10 days then died peacefully with family close by. Then having left Coff's Harbour at an unholy hour for the mad dash down to Sidn...

Polar Bears on BBC1
Awesome program - every time I start complaining about the cost of a license, the beeb go and produce a show like this. We had a chap called Mark Sisson visit our camera club a couple of months back who runs wildlife trips and one of them is a polar bear trip in Svalbard. One of our members went ...

Interesting Don. I don't suppose you ever saw the documentary in question - He was able to make friends with the bears, wild bears. He studied them, was even able to tie ribbons around his study animals in a vain attempt to stop the hunters killing them. I would always treat such an animal (o...

Tim Treadwell was killed (along with his girlfriend) by a grizzly. If you saw the movie by Werner Herzog (download it now, it's great) you'd see the ridiculous risks he took. The guy had major issues. These black bears seem to be a different beast altogether, and seem to have been excessively demoni...

There was an account of a black bear attack on tonight's show - the bear was successfully fought off though. The guy made the mistake of trying to run away, which must have triggered an attack response. The bear was shot later, and found to be severely emaciated. It was mentioned that there was a...

For me it would have to be my old and trusted Nikon F2AS Nikon F2 Pentax K-5 Samsung GX-10 That's all the Camera Body's I ever owed and the only reason that the Nikon's are still (just) top my list is that I still learn how to make best use of the K-5. In my eyes its not the camera really but ...

Strange you haven't got a Minolta Autocord in there Hefty? or a Bronica S2A? I always found the f/2.8 Rollei's (or any Rollei) too awkward to focus because the adjustment (rack and pinion, like a bellows) is straight in and out, nearest foot at best. The Minolta was just like a normal lens heleco...

I missed off my only 6x7 camera the Koni-Omega Rapid, so I'm removing the OM2 and putting it in in it's place. Probably the most underrated camera of all time. 6x7 Rangefinder, bit quarky and needs tweaking to get the best out of it. Lenses that are as sharp as any 35mm lens. Some nice scanned sh...

In all my time on this forum I think that's probably the first I've even seen mention of an *ist - how does it compare to the other film bodies and the *istD? I didn't like it I'm afraid. It was too small for me. The film loads upside down on the right hand side compared to all other SLR's that I kn...

Red Snapper Ballhead question
You always can call John. He was in the office today till 1430h (spoken to him today about some spare parts I need). He is one of the most professional people about and really cares. Any problems I would suggest just give him a quick call on Tuesday when he is back in the office. I do not want to...

New York - What to take? Any problems?
When I went over for my K-x [ Dec 2009 ] I was wandering about with it hanging round my neck :) Mind you I only had one day in New York . :( The cops in Grand Central in their wee electric buggies don't mind you taking their pics - they'll even ask you how you want to take it :) I took pic...

New York - What to take? Any problems?
Which is why I said take a case for the goodies :) Make sure that if you get electronic stuff that it's actually in use before you bring it back . Flatten any boxes that need to come home and send them by post . Make sure your credit card folk know when you are going and when you return - ...
