I was a very keen photographer 10-15 years ago. My last camera was a Canon 60d (bought new in 2010) which I’ve recently dusted off and started taking out again. And now I’ve got the photography bug back! I’m looking at a more recent model - the obvious upgrade would probably the 90d but...

Hi yes my site is www.simoncowellonline.co.uk . I've had no previous web building experience so it's a bit clunky in parts and I'm working on various tweaks. The powers that be seem to like it though and I have had some lovely feedback from Simon and his team. Which was nice :) . It's been a...

Ah well I see my dirty little secret is out ;)- yeah its Mr Cowell. I have met him a couple times since my little project took off and he is such a nice man. And yep - absolutely LOADED :D . I seriously need a go in his Bugatti Veyron (for er, photographic purposes of course!). Will bend his...

Ha! Some may say that would be less embarrassing ;)

Thanks I think I will ask :) . The worse they can say is no. Erm Im a tad embarrassed to post the link LOL -you will all think Im strange ;) - I will think about it ;)

Hey all wonder if you could give me your thoughts on this. A few months ago I decided to teach myself web design - as part of this i asked a few friends if they wanted web sites built (for free) for me to add to my portfolio. One of my mates and I shared a mutual liking of a well known celeb...

Answered thanks.

Had a VERY bad experience with B&H the last time I was there. We went the day we were going home so I had my full camera kit in a rucksack along with passport and flight docs. They wouldnt let me in the store with the rucksack and wanted to keep it behind the desk whilst we shopped. They got...

Thanks all :) Brilliant info.

Hi does anyone know if you are allowed to take a tripod to the roof of The Rockerfeller Center? Im off in a couple of weeks and want to get some night scenes from up there. Ive been before and used a beanbag but it didnt work out too well. Want to do better this time.

My 10 year old has started taking a keen interest in photography and took some really good shots at a local zoo recently. I wondered if anyone knew of any photography competitions aimed at kids she could enter? Ive had a google and most of the links are years out of date. Thanks.

That one is out of my budget really - cheapest I can find it is £349 cant really afford to go over £300. Ive been looking some more options and its between the Fuji S200EXR or the Sony HX-1 now I think. The HS-10 is appealing but its really more than I can afford. Its a shame the S200 doesnt...

Neil thank you so much for that, it is very helpful indeed. Im quite impressed with the noise levels on these - MUCH better than my current small Canon compact. I am concerned that the SX210 will suffer similar noise issues and I find myself leaning towards the Fuji more now. I know its far...

Anyone? PLEASE.....???

I need a super zoom camera for use in places where its impossible to bring my DSLR (mainly gigs / concerts / shows etc). This seems to be an impossible quest. Ive done a fair bit of research and within my budget (under £300) seem to have ended up with 3 possibles - the Canon SX210 IS, the...
