Fortnightly Competition - Do we want it?
I have to say that I think the judges reviews are a very important element for the weekly and fortnightly competitions. For me it means that everyone who takes the trouble to enter gets something out of it regardless of whether they achieve a podium pace or commendation. When I started in the ...

Photographer types: Which one are you?
I'm in a different category. THE THRIFT BORE Enjoys his photographic equipment in inverse proportion to it's cost. Left cold by modern geegaws such as autofocus and auto-exposure, the thrift-bore is never happier than when straining to manually focus a £10 lens on his expensive DSLR, or setting ...

Photographer types: Which one are you?
How about BEWILDERED SNAPPER Occasionally invoke pixel peeping in the vain hope that I might figure out what went wrong (this time) Not really into people pictures, no one I know will sit still long enough. Too tight to be a machine gunner (throw back to not wasting film - even though di...

Photographer types: Which one are you?
Too tight to be a machine gunner (throw back to not wasting film - even though digitally there's now no cost) Wear and tear on the shutter, and devaluing the camera by increasing the click count, are issues that sometimes pop into my cost-conscious little mind.

National Trust or English Heritage or Not?
I have had an NT membership for the last 6 years, and it does get used. I did consider canceling back in 2009 when the Photography issue and NT places came to the fore. However, NT backed off, and now you can take photos in most of their places (as long as you dont use flash - which is understandab...

National Trust or English Heritage or Not?
Fine if they want to preserve interesting buildings, but I object to them buying up tracks of land and preventing it's "natural" development. For that reason I ceased membership a few years ago. Not an opinion I share. I have no brief for the NT, but their acquisition of land has - in the instances ...

Tutorial For David Storm
This is the first of a series, I presume? Unfortunately, your background music drowns your voice. I know the yoot of today must have music with everything, but it really isn't necessary, or desirable. G George I don’t know what you’re talking about? There’s never been any music so you must ...

Carry on Shaun. I need to learn how to Photoshop. To be honest I find it baffling and I like your back to basics approach. Just the kind of thing I'm looking for. It's very helpful, generous of you to share your ways and much appreciated.

This site is listed in the pull down 'User info' menu at Pentax.co.uk It must have some status then. It would be nice for the new company to bring back at least a digital pdf mag in conjunction with the publisher.

I met him in 1976 when he was at the ABC Peterborough. He visited our camera shop (Campkins in the Hereward Centre next door)as it turned out he was a keen photographer. Being a rock fan myself I had to admit I had no idea who he was back then. Very nice chap, shame he didn't bring the four seasons:...

Either there has been a genuine mistake, or JPS are not offering a genuine 20% off, or Chris is making it all up. Well I'm not making it up. But unfortunately, I won't be able to prove anything, so I don't see the point of spending a lot of time trying to chase them. When I phoned them, I fa...

Interesting point Peter. The thread seems to have gone way off his original complaint, but I was hoping he would come back with more to say. Could his account have been hacked somehow?

This thread is none months old... Sorry John. I tracked back and found that I'd upset a bit of an apple cart with my comment and realised that I should have looked more closely before posting it and ticking folk off. End of issue.

Don't Delete That Image!
Speaking as someone who will never need another image to use as a blurred background, I delete just about everything that's out of focus or the exposure is way off, or the composition didn't work etc etc. For me photography is about capturing the moment, not creating it later in photoshop, so if ...
