Thank you for the responses and my apologies for my delay in answering. The blue screen of death, caused me a problem.

I’m looking for some info if anyone is able to help please. I don’t use an IPad but my wife has an IPad 2. When going away on holidays I usually bring my old small laptop to transfer my Canon RAW files to, so I can view them. I have been told you can purchase an Apple IPad Connection Kit to...

I've managed to get a few days to myself and will be going up to Skye for a few days. I would like to spend some time looking for Otters and Sea Eagles, if anyone has any advice and directions as to where I might hit lucky I'd be very grateful.

The weather on Friday morning was perfect for the mass ascent which was the only time I could attend. So here's a few of I took. Balloons6 by Manninagh, on Flickr Balloons4 by Manninagh, on Flickr Balloons8 by Manninagh, on Flickr Balloons3 by Manninagh, on Flickr Balloons7 by Manninagh, on...

For sunset photography try a drive along Victoria Road (M6) between Camps Bay and Llandudno. There are some wonderful big rock formations along that bit of coast. If nothing there floats your boat try the very small sandy beach at Llandudno. You access the beach from Victoria Rd onto Llandudno...

Thanks for your responses, she has been persuaded.

Hi everyone, I'm in need of some advice about cropping this photograph. I took in a small field near to my home one evening in August, just before the sun went down behind the hill behind the stone. That evening was the first time that the two resident Jersey bulls weren't in the field. The...

Great tutorial, thanks. So tomorrow evening I'm going to do a recce up the local church and hopefully get some trails on Saturday when there will be no moon. For the foreground I intend using one of the ornate head stones, it's been mentioned that focussing can be difficult Could I set the...

I used to to live a couple of minutes walk from the waterfall in Glen Maye. I took me a long time to get a good photograph of it, you only have a short window when the sun can actually lighten the place up. Great stuff.

Thanks for the advice Canonman, I didn't think I'd need to go that slow. I'm just hoping for some decent weather now.

I'm in need of some advice, we have a helicopter visiting our area and I'll be taking my camera along. What shutter speed should I be using to keep the rotor blurred? Obviously I won't have time to check my results between shots, so any recomendations will be appreciated.

Thanks again to all of you, I'll follow all of your advice again tonight and see what I can do with the leaning tower in Photoshops lens correction.

Thanks for the comments, on a copy I've levelled the horizon. But that seems to make the bell tower lean more to the left. Is that because of lens distortion? In ACR I enabled Lens correction / Lens profile correction.

I've been lurking a while and finally bitten the bullet. Port Logan is close to where I live and we have some great sunsets. I hope you like this, C&C welcome. Thanks for looking. PortLogan050612a by Manninagh, on Flickr

Complain to Manx National Heritage about the cafe lights being left on. If you were polluting anything down the Sound they'd soon be on your back. Nice photograph too.
