I currently have photos on different USBs, hard drives, CDs and my Mac. I would like have them in one place and not in public view, to be able to view as named albums without it using any additional memory on my Mac. can anyone suggest what I should consider please.

A bit of background, I have a nifty fifty and a telephoto (Nikon 3100 fit) and going on hols to Oz in a months time. I want a lens that will be a 'good travel lens' and the reviews I have read seem to suggest a 35mm for both landscape and city photography, but I am wondering as I already have...

Hi, I'm quite new to hobbiest photography and have 3 lenses for my Nikon 3100 (The one it came with, a Nikon Nifty Fifty and a Tamron telephoto). I have been pondering a wide angle for some time and with a pending holiday to Singapore & Thailand (Scenic Krabi), am thinking this would be a good...

Firstly, thanks for all the replies to my previous query on LR and its 'worthiness'. Also apologies if any of my queries have been asked before. I am currently editing images in the free trail of LR CC. LR CC is somewhat different to classic, and I am finding it taxing to try and convert the...

Thanks Liam, I'm a bit 'fingers and thumbs' for that with the added complication of being a left hander for the pad. Going to try the Logitech MX anywhere 2S.

Liam, out of interest what mouse are you using and how do you find it ? I am a new mac user yet to buy a mouse. Thanks in advance.

LOL, I went in for a £700 laptop and came home with the mac. As for affording it................I have a magic card that will have me paying for it interest free for the next 2 years !! So money aside what is your view on whether is it worth me making the additional investment ?

I've just bought a 15.4 Macbook pro,having invested so much (nearly £1900) in a laptop, is it worth me also paying the monthly subscription for lightroom. I'm a novice and currently using a free version of photo editor, but having spent so much on a computer really need to 'up my interest' in...

As a complete beginner I need all the kit but can't afford it. Don't laugh but I have bought a two pack of UV and polarising filter for the princely sum of £8. Are these as poor as the price suggests they are ?

Thank you all, such informative answers.

I've downloaded a free version of Photodirector 8 (PD8) and am enjoying 'having a play' but have a query: I have uploaded both RAW images and jpeg, I thought the purpose of shooting in RAW meant that it enhanced the editing capabilities, but when using PD8 I can do as much with a jpeg as I can...

Thanks so much for all your help and pointers, I have downloaded Photodirector 8 and had a play today. It seems much easier to use than Gimp as per Toni above suggests.

The difficulty with Cardiff when there are events in the stadium is that a lot of the city is closed to traffic, your best bet if driving would be to park and ride in somewhere like Radyr or Taffs Well, both of which are convenient for the above link. They may also open the CCFC carpark (about a...

My latest 'Mid Life Crisis' hobby has made me promise to utilise my D3100, I'll have many questions which may come across as daft so please bare with me................please ! So, here's my first Q, I have the free 'Gimp' editing programme installed. I have been told that in order to allow my...
