Low shelves!

What a complete and utter load of tripe. Buying a grey import does not in any shape or form equate to any kind of breaking of any laws. Import tax still applies. Propping up a failing business is none of my concern. My only concern is getting the best price for a bit of equipment that I can...

Always enjoyed their vid's.

Birds on a stick, Dragonfly's, street portraits Old Indian Gentlemen looking sad... that sort of thing yeah?

It varies from club to club. Some are ultra competitive, others much less so. It depends what you want to get out of camera club competitions really. Personally I use them for constructive critique on my images. I've found that since getting an impartial view on my work that they've picked up...

Look up. It's always there. Give your eyes 30 mins to get accustomed to the dark. It looks like a thin cloud. Failing that, just take a high iso 20 second long exposure and you'll see it.

Oh and "Hello Aurora" coupled with Aurora Watch UK is pretty good. If you also monitor some of the space weather twitter accounts you can get a bit of advance notice as it typically takes 2-3 days for it to hit the Earth after Solar Activity (If it's in our direction, this current storm was...

cheeky sods! Although after searching my name I saw some images on there that I thought looked pretty good but didn't think they were mine, turns out they were!

I know this seems fairly obvious, but don't shoot into the sun, turn 90deg and get some amazing sidelight.

Remember, a grainy noisy sharp shot is (generally) much much better than a blurry shot (unless you're going for that)

I wasn't initially going to enter, but ended up changing my mind, I only entered 2 images, 1 got in. The awards evening was pleasant enough (cracking views from the terrace), but for the love of god, when someone is stood up and talking please have the common decency to shut the f*** up and...

I think you're probably right, brand new account asking random GCSE 'esque questions....

The general rule of thumb on the Internet, is that if you have to go as far as to ask on a forum "Is this a scam?" is that yes, it's a scam, it's always a scam.
