These are lovely. I have no critique to add since I can't do night photography... We don't get stars in London! Can I ask though, what (if any) editing did you do with these once you got back home? I really admire good night photography, but I can never really tell how heavily (or not) the...

I watched the bits that made sense without audio... on a work PC here. The general gist seems to be that the UV filter really serves no purpose at all other than to make your pictures worse. As far as damage is concerned, put a lens hood on - that's more likely to save the front element of...

An update for anyone that's interested... So I ended up buying a £3.99 Nikon battery USB charger off ebay. I was concerned about damaging my batteries, but I've been using it since June and it actually seems to work quite well. So well in fact, I hardly ever use the Nikon mains charger...

I've got one of those chargers (albeit with a different brand at the top: technoline). Absolutely brilliant - I use it with Eneloop batteries. Here's the manual link: http://www.technoline-berlin.de/manual/BC700_e.pdf Be aware that if the battery is SERIOUSLY discharged it may just show...

Yes - I heard that programme too. It was quite an interesting perspective on it. I still don't agree with the "sport" on any level, but this commentary on the other side of the argument was enlightening and even for an animal lover like me, it was enough to make me think that perhaps there...

My normal one I use on my bike is a Contour Roam 2. It doesn't take run off external power, but it will do about 3 hours on a full charge in low quality mode. However I just bought a cheap "go-pro rip off" off ebay though for £26 for another purpose. That DOES run off external power. I won't...

Very nice... and who knew there even WAS a Brompton world championship! Nice set though... perhaps a little over-processed from my point of view, but that's quite subjective I guess really.

Thank you. Yes - I agree, and I stressed to them several times that if they had any doubts whatsoever, they should book a professional. I like the idea of doing a few more - just for more experience really. However, I think "gigs" like that are hard to find. That is, distinguishing between...

And a last few

another 5...

and some more...

So after being a member of this site for over a year, it's dawned on me recently that while I love looking at the work of others, I've never posted a single picture of my own. Time to change that. This was quite a while ago (last year in fact), however I only just got around to asking if the...

I have one of those adaptor things that I bought shortly after buying my first SLR. The only time I ever bring it out is to log decorating progress because I can get a whole room into a frame. I'm afraid I agree with everyone else though. They are pretty woeful. That said, if you just want...

I'm not really qualified to critique on these, but from a casual observers point of view, they really are all stunning - I checked out the link as well. The party shots are marvelous too - The change in the bride between "slightly nervous about the biggest day in my life" and complete party...

Thank you for the tips - much appreciated! When it comes to pictures I'm taking just for myself then I am very much either keep it or throw it, and I tend to do it on the camera - it doesn't even make it as far as the laptop. I considered I should be more sensitive with pictures that are...
