Thanks for the suggestions everybody, I'll look into them.

I had a problem in a museum in Crete when they stopped me taking photographs. I pointed out that nearly everybody else was taking photographs with their phones. It was explained to me that the other people 'were not using proper cameras':D

By market I don't necessarily mean selling, but getting it to somebody who can make use of it. I have quite a quantity of cameras, lenses etc of various makes just kicking around doing nothing. Nothing fancy, just run of the mill Canon, Pentax from the 80s and 90s. They range from fully...

Oh come on! Are you suggesting that all the great photographers of the film age were only taking 'snapshots in good light'? In the 'olden days of film' you had to understand, and work with, the limitations of film and therefore potentially learnt a heck of a lot more about how the camera...

No. The idiot would be the person who paid £150 for the Zenith.

Sorry for the delay in responding, minor family crisis when my wife fell and broke her leg. She ended up in hospital for nearly 2 weeks! Not quite. At its peak the previous site I referred to had nearly 1000 images per day and all images were displayed. What is done here is certainly a...

I suspect the answer is that it can't be done, but thumbnail images of the photo's posted in the Critique Forums could potentially increase activity. I suspect many people don't even click on a title unless it catches their attention and therefore miss interesting images. On the previous, now...

A nice set of images, but I agree with jakeblu, there is a distinct colour cast which is particularly noticeable on the first 2 images.

Hi Lindsay, TrekEarth had the plug pulled on it towards the end of last year. I did a search for Photography forums then and didn't notice this one on the list. This time it was at the top.

The first photo is my favourite too. I agree with pretty much everything Lepus has said about it, particularly the foreground interest. So often that is missing and does take away from the overall composition for me. Unfortunate that the light was so flat, but that's what we've had most of...

A friend of mine who ended up quite seriously disabled had a clamp which attached to the arm (if I remember correctly) of his wheelchair and the camera was mounted on an arm extending from that. It was a long time ago, he died in 2001, but may be worth trying a search for.

I've been looking for a new photography forum for a while. I was a long time member of TrekEarth, which sadly bit the dust earlier this year. I've had an interest in mainly landscape photography for many years, although I haven't been very active for a few years. I'm now trying to reawaken my...
