Got our with the camera with the family on Sat. Weather was pretty pants during the day but we were treated to a half decent sunset. Love how much the camera was able to recover shadows but wish I'd remembered my tripod! My hand was getting a bit sore by the end with the weight of the lens! I'm...

Thanks! :) Haha. I'll do my best to ignore them then. What I read when I was looking up lenses suggested it was a great lens and as my other tamron was I thought it was worth looking into.

haha. The one with the best reviews on amazon has always served me well with my phone so I figured no difference here. I'm sure I could start the discussion with straps though! I ordered a non branded one (ahem, I picked it because I liked the colour) but it won't arrive until next week. I'm...

Thanks. :) The amazon man delivered it about 4 hours ago so it's sat beside me ready to go on. I always refuse to take plastic bits off screens until I have protectors.

Just thought I'd pop in and say "hi" as I've got got myself a D750 and a Tamron 24-70 2.8 to go with it (you can bet the D750 replacement will happen very soon now - happened with my D7000 lol). I've been using a D7000 and Tamron 17-50 2.8 (pretty much lives on it) so it's certainly a big jump...

I did this out of curiosity and discovered a bunch of websites using my photo. Turns out they're all Russian or Eastern European. One Russian travel site is using my photo prominently and I noticed Pixsy don't cover Russia. Anyone know of anywhere that does?

From a bedroom window in a housing estate on the edge of Newcastle - the red especially was visible even above light pollution so must have been bright! Only even seen a white haze which photographed green before further up in Northumberland.

Saw it with the naked eye from my house about an hour ago. Could just about make out the green but the red stripe was VERY obvious! Sadly can't get out to take photos as 1) no car, 2) no willing friends/relatives and 3) just had minor surgery so I'm full of stitches, sore and under orders not to...

I'm about halfway between Newcastle and the coast.

Awww thanks. I'd love to do more night shooting but the getting someone to come with me is near impossible. I 'accidentally' shot the aurora a few years ago - having headed out to try shoot stars and no mention anywhere of an active aurora. There was a white haze on the horizon I assumed was fog...

I've had no luck talking my sis into coming out anywhere dark with me if it kicks off. I'm too paranoid (or sensible being a short girly!) to be standing about in the dark by myself with a load of camera kit. I need to make some friends I can bribe into coming out with me lol. If anyone gets...

Some amazing photos in here! I haven't taken as many photos this year as I would have liked so didn't have lots to chose from. This one may be my favourite - not sure if it's the best though. The light shines down over Keswick by GeordieKat, on Flickr To give the back story (sorry it's...

People often used to accuse me of being Scottish or Welsh at uni. I got asked if I was American, Canadian, Australian and a few others too. My sister works in a call centre and at least a couple of times a day she gets 'accused' of being Welsh or Scottish - most frequently Welsh. Apparently...

Using that logic Manchester is near enough in Wales... Geography aside, the Cheviots are nice, as is the Rothbury area. There's some nice places around Alnwick as well. I gather the beach at Druridge Bay is quite dark and Holy Island will be pretty dark too! Best bet for there if you fancy a...

Here's mine: http://www.flickr.com/photos/geordiekat/ It's a bit of everything really but I can't promise it's any good, lol. Shall go through and add people later. :)
