It would seem we all appear to have back issues, including me. Thoughts for the day: Do we take up photography because we have bad backs? Do we have bad backs as a result of lugging all our gear around? Is it because we are contortionists trying to get "that" shot? Maybe photography is bad for...

Hobgoblin or Guinness?

I had exactly the same thought :):)

Absolutely spot on. Hit the nail on the head perfectly.

Seriously hope I haven't liked or commented on any of your captures. Suspect I have though. Suffice to say I no longer find said captures stunning. I will in future refrain from liking any photographs or making note of the fact I find said photographs likeable.

Guys, I've just received delivery of this manual lens for my Sony a6000. I have to say I absolutely love it. At £80 you simply cant go wrong. I think I have finally found my preference in terms of how I like to take photos. Being able to control the aperture and focus (with focus peaking) via...

To chuck in my two pennies worth I decided to get rid of all my Nikon gear a few years back. Not because I disliked it but because I wanted a more lightweight option for travelling and couldn't justify an additional second camera. I purchased the Sony A7 but, whilst the quality was great it...

My wife has made two executive decisions. 1. We must spend time together in the same room and, 2. I cannot bring the PC into the living room. Therefore can anyone advise what laptop I can buy to host Elements 9 without grinding to a halt carrying out minor post processing. In terms of budget...

Spot on Steve. PS Great shot from Rome with your 50mm. Love it.

I would echo what Steve has said. I love my Sony a6000 with 12mm Samyang. Ive just done a tour of Germany with the camera in my coat pocket. Excellent. The only niggle is the battery life is not as good as I would like. However, I have yet to run out. Just buy a spare battery.

Sony a6000 has rapid fire at 11fps !! ......... and I need to wear ear muffs !!

Samyang 12mm f2 :exit::banana:
