nah they're a bit pricey for my budget...

Hi all, I need some advice as I've been out of the P&S market some time. I'm a teacher and have been given a budget to get some photography kit for a photography club for 10/11 year olds. Ideally I want some cameras with as many manual options as possible, aperture priority, full manual...

cheers, that might be the ticket, google's Picasa also has some good options.

Welcome Mark, this forum is surprisingly large, quite a few people in our local area.

Hi, I've been taking photos for years but rarely print or frame them, so some advice is needed. My boss has roped me into creating some motivational photo collages, under titles like "achievement" "enjoyment" and "motivated" etc - I work in a school and the head just wants to display all the...

it's a piece of **** unfortunately... at first i wondered if he'd managed to find the original location of the images on the server. I couldn't anyway. But then I came across the little slideshow button in the top left, it loads the photos full screen (eventually) without the watermark. Hope...

yeah you can't do much about that, but it is much easier to hop onto the internet, and search for pictures of the car you're looking for. You'll find a specific colour and model much quicker than just driving around.

blurring of number plates is reasonably obvious. imagine you're a car thief, you steal a red BMW Mini Cooper, around a 2005 model say. You could drive around on the illegal plates ORRRR you you could find an identical mini where the owner diligently pays there car tax and insurance, use the...

yes it was doing horrific things to some gig photos last night, they were grainy because of high ISO anyway and it just left them looking horrible!

Just thought I'd pass this on as someone else may use it. I ordered a custom frame and mount, about 60 cm x 30 cm - for about £28 delivered. Which for a custom made frame and mount, I thought was reasonably good. huge range of frame styles too. When you order you get an email telling you...

829 cycles in 2 and a bit years, 89% health still. I did well on my old iBook battery, first battery I kept leaving on charge over night so it was ready for the next day and it didn't last too long but it got replaced for free during the battery replacement program due to a bad batch of...

Yep, previous poor surfaces with poor repair work. Now the repair work has been ripped out leaving HUGE craters Our council have been out and put 'temporary road surface' signs on some of the problem areas.

I ruined my Epson by using the cheapest of the cheap compatible carts. Since then I've been using a Canon Pixma MP520. Which I've always bought Jettec compatible carts and agree with most, they're half the price of Canons and I can't see the difference for documents/PDF's etc. However I don't...

Every time i see shots of scotland i know i need to go back! number 1 is a classic - but i prefer that shot when it's a little less symmetrical. Have the river more to the right leading your eyes over to the munro on the top left. or vice versa. Still a nice photo though - lovely detail and...

So jealous of 5. Very very nice image. The cottage to the right just ties in the whole image beautifully. shame about the roof tops on the bottom left as i think an isolated house might have suited the feeling better but you can't have everything can you. The others are possibly a little bland...
