Got you! Thanks guys!

Hi all, My car tax renewal is coming up for the end of November, and I see that people who need to renew their tax from the 1st November 2014 can now pay by monthly direct debit and so I think this is a good option for myself. But what I don't understand is this: ------ When the Direct Debit...

Hi all, I was just on moonpig trying to buy a card for valentines day for my girlfriend, and you know it has a tool where you can add your own photo etc? Well when I got to this stage I saw someone elses photo and private message. It wasn't a template because the message was really personal and...

Hi all, I'm just wondering, when you use spot metering, which 'spot' is it taking the metering from? Is it the center of the frame, or the focus point? Thanks! John.

Thanks a lot all for the information. For some reason I forgot the moon moves! :/

Pop a selfie of me on here everyone would just destroy their monitors lol. I hate having photographs taken of myself, so I never do selfies xD. Lovely selfies there though! I like the one with the dreamy effect.

Lovely photograph there. The colour one looks superb! With the B&W one, in my opinion, if you could make the background a bit brighter / more closer to white, that would help to separate her from the background.

Some nice shots there, especially the second one. However in my opinion, in the first and second shots, the background is too busy. If you look at the second shot, towards the top left (her right) there is a large amount of pure white (oops, forgot the photographic term!). Be careful when...

Hi all, I think a couple of nights ago I watched an episode of BBC Click, and there was a photographer there taking photographs of the moon and teaching watchers how to do it. He said something on the lines of "Use an aperture of about f/4". My question is, surely it would be better to use a...

Thanks! Ordered :). Will this be able to get rid of the streak marks as well? Thanks John.

Thank you very much I'll give this a try. Am I right in saying that it is this one I would need? http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Lenspen-New-SensorKlear-Angled-Sensor-Cleaning-Pen-/231110802315?pt=UK_Camera_Cleaning_Equipment_Kits&hash=item35cf46fb8b Thanks!

Hi all, Does anyone have any ideas how to clean a Nikon V1 sensor? I tried using 14mm swabs, and whilst these are good, they just seem just a tad too big. I then tried those little things which look like cotton buds by just putting some eclipse on it but these just leave streak marks. Any...

Hi Graham, I've been all over the place with DSLR's, I've upgraded, downgraded etc etc, but what I found was that there was no need for me to upgrade. My advice to you is to only upgrade when you need to. Cameras are already very good and new camera models only differ slightly. I find that...

Depends, when I start seeing a lot of dust specs then that's when I get my dust blower and wet cleaning kit out and just try to clean it. If I see one dust spec in just a small number of my photos I tend to not really worry as actually it's really hard / impossible to get the sensor 100% clean.

Personally in Lightroom I would use the brush and just bring the exposure up and paint over the background.
