    Film photography

    Anyone interested in the old school? I've just acquired two film cameras which I'm yet to experiment with. The first is an Olympus Trip 35 which my mother found when digging in a cupboard recently. Reading up on it, it could be a decent all rounder point and shoot. I probably won't play...

    Just arrived today after a long and difficult week, trying to get the delivery sorted out! Very impressed so far :mrgreen: Any tips for the HD video side of things?? :eh:

    Coventry Fly In - Vulcan XH588

    Had an opportunity to see the restored Vulcan bomber fly into my local airport as part of a "Fly in". A fly in is sort of like an airshow, but with less air display. Private aircraft are invited to attend and essentially fly in for the public to come and oggle at. They also usually have some...

    Spring in Oakley Woods.

    Went out for a long bike ride with my flat mate on Friday and stopped at a small patch of woodland to take some photographs. A beautiful place full of mostly what looked like redwood style trees :) Thought I'd share some of the photos. Please click for a larger high res image! Sun lit spring...

    Fires of the Forge

    Took this last year and stumbled across it the other day :) Quite a few photos but I quite like this one. Might post a few more later :)

    Photography challenge

    Hey all. I posted last year sometime (maybe even the year before?!) about Project 365. The idea was to take a photo each day for 365 days. I slacked off after maybe 100 days due to lazyness and also problems with my Flickr account. Anyhow, the folks that thought up Project365 have come up...

    VW Corrado VR6 Turbo shots

    A mate of mine invited me along for a little joy ride in this car today. It's a demo car that belongs to the owner of Stealth Racing in Southam, who are well known for being a great car tuning garage. They're releasing their own turbo kit for VW VR6 engines and my mate is writing an article for...

    Which lens?

    Hey guys. I'm toying with the idea of a new camera, and I've seen a 50D body which I might go for. I wondered what lens I should consider getting with it. I'll have my old 18-55 which came with my old EOS 300D to start me off, but it's a bit old and grimey. Thoughts?

    Monitor calibration?

    Hey guys. It's come up in a few threads lately, and I realised that - even though I'm an IT geek - I have no idea when it comes to calibrating my monitors at home or work. At work I have the luxury of 2x 22" Samsung SyncMaster 226cw widescreen monitors! They're bad ass! :lol: at home however...

    Restoring an old forge - Photos.

    I was helping my Sister and her partner cleaning out an old forge on Sunday, which he has just taken on. I took the opertunity to take some photos, as he want's to document the restorarion for a website he's setting up (he'll be doing this for a living eventually!) So a mix of general and...

    Flash gun for Canon 300D?

    Hey guys. I was just wondering if anyone had any recommendations for cheap flash guns for the EOS 300D? I've read the 420EX/430EX are supposed to be good value, but I'm wondering if anyone can recommend anything else (cheaper :lol:). I'm interested in the adjustable flash head as my current...

    Compact Digital Camera in the £100 - £150 region?

    Hey guys. I've read the previous post about the Fuji S5700, and it sounds like a reasonable camera (well, the S5800 which has replaced it). I was wondering though, are there any other quality cameras with a few more features in this price range? My mate's girlfriend has asked me to recommend...

    Project 365. 1 photo a day for a year.

    I got suckered into doing this recently. A group of friends and friends of friends are taking part in our own little project 365 (the number is growing slowly :)). The idea is that you take a photo a day every day for 365 days. I guess to record a year in your life in picture. The photos are...

    A few pics (ie lots) from TGM today.

    Thought I'd share a few of the pics I took today while at TGM. I had a great day. Enjoyed meeting everyone :) I also "fell in love" with this little guy: The TGM tanks were spectacular :) Same tank again, after a quick water change. The added buffers and such (TGM use RO on all their...
