These were taken a couple of weeks ago at the Guards Polo Club in Windsor Great Park. I was amazed to find that you can just turn up and watch - from the sidelines, I suspect entry into the club enclosure is probably not so easy. DSCF6481-2 by indeci.sieve, on Flickr DSCF6488 by indeci.sieve...

I've recently ordered a new PC. I can't recommend it at the moment because it hasn't been delivered yet and I don't know if I've spent my money wisely or not! I found this website useful...

If your camera shoots 3:2 aspect ratio, then those will print at 6x4, 12x8 or 24x16 inches without any need to crop. If it shoots 4:3 aspect ratio, then those will print at 8x6 or 16x12 inches without any need to to crop. It will say in your camera manual whether it's 3:2 or 4:3; or post your...

Are you trying to encourage me to enter after all? :confused:

The rules do make it clear that the initial stage is a casting process. However the judging of the images is by a panel of experts, rather than the voting public, so I'm anticipating more bake-off than X-factor. If nothing else there should be some travel for the chosen contestants and probably...

Sky Arts launches Master of Photography, the first European TV talent show for photographers. You have until 10th December 2015 if you fancy sending in a portfolio. There's quite a good prize should you win :)...
