I'm using public transport to move up and getting my current computer up seems so much hassle. Plus I'll be home loads, where I'll want to use my current computer/monitor and as my old laptop is pretty much dead this seemed like a good time to get a new one. I'll look into a laptop + screen...

I'm moving to Glasgow in a week and have decided to leave my desktop computer at my Mum's house and get myself a new laptop for my flat. It's main use will be for photo editing and whilst I know what spec to look for with regards to RAM etc I have no idea what to look for in a screen. I'll...

After a loooooooooong time of putting it off I finally sat down to sort a website for myself. I knew what I wanted but I didn't have money to spare right now on getting someone to build one for me. I found the closest to what I wanted was available with Wix. The only costs were to have all the...

People and portraits I think too. My only tip would be to ask another dancer along (maybe a friend of the person you are shooting) If you are not a dancer yourself it can be hard to tell which arm and leg lines look the best/right etc. I've seen so many lovely photos of dancers and something...

I shoot gigs and as I've not really kept up with my own website I said I shoot a few bits and bobs for a friend's website whilst I was looking for a publication to take me on (expected date: 12th of never) I have all my photos as All Rights Reserved as I don't want them being posted wherever...

I've not had the chance to shoot many gigs since I moved back home late last year. After getting itchy fingers I decided to take my camera along to a gig in Liverpool I was going to. I didn't have a pass (got one for the same band in Preston next month) so these are just from the other side of...

Mmmmmmm.... Simon Neil is a handsome man!! Sorry, what I meant to say was I love the photos (particularly the Biffy one ;)) I think if I had to sell my camera I'd cry. A lot.

My only experience up 'till now was buying an A3 box from Silverprint, that set me back around £50. I now need a few A4 boxes at a far more affordable price. They don't need to be very deep as all I need them for is around 5 prints and a few business cards. I've had a good google but although...

Ahh... that would explain why my friend has travelled so far for the gig. I saw them support Twin Atlantic about a year ago so ended up seeing them 3 times in one week. Post up any variations of you make of the photo :)

I like it. The beam of light makes it. I'd be tempted to try a crop too, taking out some of the bottom and left, whilst keeping the same shape (I'm not getting the right words due to tiredness, but hopefully you'll get what I mean :) ) I'm pretty sure my friend is out seeing these boys in...

I'd not thought of cropping #1. I think that'd look good, maybe as a square crop. I know the lads were keen to have the trees etc in the background. I know my old college tutor would moan at me for all that dead space though, haha! How 2 & 3 don't have snow all over their faces is a miracle...

I like bands looking happy... even after 2 hours in a snowstorm :D Their music is very upbeat and happy so the mood of the photos sort of reflects that. Really it was nothing to with "reflecting the mood of the music" more of a Wahey!! Snoooooooooow!!! And us all being like big kids.

Thank you for the feedback guys :) #1 - I have quite a few like this. More snowball ones and some like this minus snowballs. We did take a few throwing snowballs at them but it didn't really work, haha! I did get a fun one of them snowballs firing towards me though. #2 and 3 - Good point...

1st one for me. The 2nd seems a bit... flat?

It may have been 2 hours in the heavy snowfall, but it was a lot of fun. The original plan was to go to Loch Lomond but we got no further than Milngavie Waterworks, just outside Glasgow, due to the weather. I've still not done all that many band photoshoots and the last one I did prior to...
