A fixed f2.8 aperture 28-75mm lens @£99.00 from LCE if any one is interested. It seems like a decent price, but correct me if you think otherwise.

HI
I highly recommend the 3 vols by Ansel Adams. The Camera, The Negative and The Print

Its a PHD in photography
I've got the set and would agree that they are excellent but very technical and can be a bit heavy going. Never-the-less, if it's technical mastery you are looking to achieve then these are the bibles.

Got these:

'Galen Rowell's vision: The Art of Adventure Photography', 1993

'Galen Rowell's Inner Game of Outdoor Photography', 2001

'Poles apart: Parallel Visions of the Arctic and Antarctic', 1995

Delighted for you. I've got copies of and read all of these and I think I can safely say that you are going to enjoy some wonderful and inspiring end of summer armchair photographic adventures. In due course I'd be interested to hear of your opinion on them.

Enjoy the summer.

I've no idea what type of photography you indulge in or what interests you the most but I personally found many of the books of Galen Rowell both fascinating and inspiring. He is mostly a mountain, travel and adventure photographer and a worthy read.

There are times when you need something and the deal you want isn't available that you just have to bite your lip and go for it!

Best wishes

WEX can supply but at £17.99 + post it's a tad expensive, but better than the cost of many second hand ones currently on the market.

Good luck.

Ffordes have just listed this if anyone is interested. At £69.00 I think it might be a good buy considering some of the prices they appear to go for these days.

Given that photographing the night sky is no mean feat I think you should be very pleased with them. I especially like the second photo.

They might have been even better had they been photographed with a Pentax - but that might be subjective
