Interested in the lake district vol 2 if a link becomes available, London is other end of the country and I can only dream of going to Iceland!

I have suggested this to him, but he's an impatient 13 Yr old! Partly why I asked here to give him some more advice

So my lad is 13 and has decided rather than play his xbox he's going to build his own "gaming" pc. I've honestly no idea about building computers and I've told him that with his pocket money it's probably going to take 2 years to get all the bits for it! He does already have a reasonable...

Watching YouTube and online courses are great, but for me I learn by doing. With most of my cameras I've got the manual and then just taken the camera out to a local park or similar and just worked my way through the manual so I fully know what the camera can do and how to do it. Then I'd grab...

Thanks just tried it with my other lens and the video playback has all sorts of artefacts in it, doesn't look good..

So finally got to try out a Canon 60d I bought from MPB, started OK, but then within a few shots & attempts to video it freezes up with Err code 70? I've bought 2 brand new Sandisk Extreme 32gb SDHC memory cards and the error happens when using both. I've also noticed on one video that there's...

Hi just a question about remote shutter releases. I was looking at the TC-80N3 but couldn't find if it would work with the camera. Can anyone advise about which remote works for timed long exposures with the 60d? TIA! I did try the link above but page had expired!

Thanks for this link. I've not watched anything photography related for some time so it was good to listen to something not focused on the latest tech. Blown away by the photo of the iceberg and mountains, never seen that before and can only aspire to shooting one thing like that ever! Joe...

I just checked and my laptop is suitable for Win 11 although I can't download it at this time. I am pleased as I only bought the laptop 6 months ago (Acer Aspire 5)! It looks like Win 11 is more for touch screen type devices though - am i wrong?

@Mintchocs i fully intend to read through the manual I was just curious if anyone had any particular tips from experience! Looking forward to going out shooting soon

Thanks @Cobra i actually discovered that after I'd posted, doh! Need to search more thoroughly, sorry!

So I've had various cameras over the years, sold everything and slowly building up a small kit again. I had a 40d but have just traded it in for a 60d. I considered the 600d and couldn't afford 70,80 or 90! Anyhow, I'm after any advice on how to get the best out of it? I'll be using either...

So one I've looked at a lot for portrait photography is Weekly Imogen. Started off really simply using just a 50mm for a long time and talks about working with a model from the models perspective. Been going for around 8 years now https://youtube.com/user/WeeklyImogen

Could always abbreviate it to make it easy to spell.. Jake Hurst Photography :) Justin Akehurst to me sounds good, I'd probably leave off the photography bit. It's a memorable name (imo!) and leaves its open if your business changes over time?

Thanks for all the advice, in the end couldn't really push the budget so last night I ordered an Acer Aspire 5. 8gb ram (which is upgradeable), 11th gen i5 core, IPS screen which had £100 off so was £499. Tempted by lots of others inc Dell XPS 13 & HP Envy, but head won over heart at this time...
