    Modelling Lamp

    Hiya, Thanks for the reply. I think that's going to have to be the way forward. I'll give it a go a bit later.

    Modelling Lamp

    Hi all, I know nothing about electronics so go easy on me. I've just had this thought (uh-oh...) and wondered if it would work. I imagine not, but here goes. I have Bowens 500 studio flash heads, and the modelling lamp fittings just look like standard edison fit bulbs, and they give off the...

    Polaroid obsession

    May I ask how much you paid for yours? It's definitely an expensive hobby! :) I bought 5 packs yesterday on a bit of a panic buy, only to find out the production only stops at the end of year :/ Lots of places will be back in stock next week, or over the next few weeks. One of the big suppliers...

    Google has crossed the red line. Nexus 5 ad

    All the advert says to me is "This phone lets you take a photo without having to be completely still". And a voice activation feature.

    Photographing children - how do you navigate the ethical risks?

    As Keith said above, just ask the parents. Pass them your business card, and explain who you are, and why you took the shot. Don't ask for their details as they might leave thinking 'Wait, this stranger has a picture of our child and also our contact details where he could find our address?'...

    I GOT MY BRONICA

    Congrats! I now have 2 Bronicas. I love the WLF, it's oh-so refreshing and liberating. I find the world looks different through the WLF, and it forces me to think differently in terms of composition. I love the weight and the sound it makes when you press the shutter. oooOOooo! Focusing is...

    What suppliers for newborn photography?

    Hi Miss Moloko. Have you tried Facebook? There's a gazillion newborn prop selling pages on there. Also there's a home furniture retail shop called Home-Sense that sell bowls, etc that you might be able to use. If it's large props, I know Sarah sells some of the props via her Facebook page...

    Nexus 4 and google store woes

    I was just thinking how good the service was . The charger port on my Nexus 4 seemed a little loose, so I gave Google a call expecting to have to send it away....and they apologised and said we'll send you a replacement out! Replacement arrived within 48 hours of the call, and I've got 21 days...

    Best Magazine?

    I subscribe to Black n White mag. Though I wish it had a bit more Film content. THe other downside is that half the mag is adverts (I guess every mag has this though). I'm currently trying out a digital mag called Focus magazine. Looks interesting ! focusmag.info

    Jessops re-opening

    In line with what Stuart said...It looks like it could be a long wait. The fact that they've taken away the 'any minute now' sign gives me the impression they know it's gonna be a while

    Any malt whisky fans in?

    I've recently got into Whisky. In fact, I've not had beer/wine in ages. I only seem to drink Whisky at the mo. Having said that, I'm a complete newbie. I have a bottle of Glenfiddich 18yo which I managed to pick up at Tesco on clearance for £20. Whilst it's lovely and smooth, it's too good...
