Thanks for the feedback. I was trying something different with the last one. As you have all said it's over processed. Probably best to keep the post production to a minimum and get it right in the camera instead.

I recently went on a trip to Oban. Here are some of my best any feedback is welcome IMG_4611 by Ed Garland, on Flickr IMG_4886 by Ed Garland, on Flickr IMG_4620 by Ed Garland, on Flickr IMG_4721 by Ed Garland, on Flickr oban sunset by Ed Garland, on Flickr

If also got one of these Its served me very well and i hope it will for a lot longer It is an inexpensive bag and not a cheap bag.

I would agree with others by suggesting you go for Lightroom 4 and Elements.

I got one of these a few weeks ago. So far seems good. Not to heavy and seems sturdy enough. http://www.wexphotographic.com/buy-velbon-sherpa-250r-tripod-ph157q-head/p1000280

I'm thinking of getting myself a compact to stick in the car. I usually keep my DSLR at home, but sometimes I wish I had something better than a camera phone. I don't want to spend a lot prob around £50 or so. I've been having a look on eBay and there are quite a few canon power shot compacts...

Thanks for all the positive feedback.

Took these on a recent trip to Chester zoo. Any constructive feedback is always welcome. IMG_1692 by Ed Garland, on Flickr IMG_1625 by Ed Garland, on Flickr IMG_1549 by Ed Garland, on Flickr IMG_1412 by Ed Garland, on Flickr IMG_1503 by Ed Garland, on Flickr

I'm thinking of getting a redsnapper tripod and head from redsnapper. I'm thinking on the RS-284 and RSH-24 3-way head. I've got a cheap £10 tripod would this be any better as my current one is rather flimsy and not very steady.

Took this while playing with my nifty fifty scampi by Ed Garland, on Flickr

Thanks for the info. Looks like it makes sense to continue with my current setup and just ignore dng files.

I use lightroom 4 and i've always kept the original CR2 files but I'm reading more and more about dng files and i'm wondering if it would be a good idea to start converting my cr2 files to dng instead. I've had a search on t'internet and there doesn't seem to be a definitive answer on this...

I would go for a few smaller size cards - you don't want to put all your eggs in the one basket. At least that way if one failed you would still have alternative cards. I've got two 8GB sd cards from play.com £7.79 each and 5 year warranty
