    Quick chat with the RSPB.

    Good letter Adrian, it's refreshing to read the point of view of one who knows about these matters. Well done for taking the time to write.:clap: It's very fashionable amongst chatterers on all sorts of forums to be hostile to gamekeepers and countryside activities in general. Generally...

    How hard is it to learn the guitar?

    It is hard to learn guitar and takes time and dpersistence to get to a reasonable standard of playing. At first it seems very difficult until your fingertips stop hurting. You have to really want to do it. The reward comes a year or two after starting to learn. www.justinguitar.com is the...

    50mm lens for portraits in low light?

    I bought a 50mm 1.8 a few weeks ago and the improvement in image quality over the 18-55 kit lens was very noticeable. It's the only quality lens I know of for less tha £100. I wish I'd bought one ages ago. I am now wondering about the Tamron 17-50 as well...

    Countryfile

    Surely at least one 'pro' photographer should be on the panel of judges, rather than the usual media types? Even on 'Strictly Come Dancing' or whatever it's called, three out of the four judges have been professional dancers at some stage in their careers. N.B. I never watch it, but the...

    Countryfile

    The tractor stood out for me, I didn't see what was great about the canal scene and the one with the crooks at the sheepdog trials looked banal to me. I've only been here a few days and I've seen what I consider to be better photos here in that short time. :shrug:

    I'm no expert, but I've had good advice in this thread. I thought the youtube video was very helpful. http://www.talkphotography.co.uk/forums/showthread.php?t=357117 I ordered a Rocket blower and Visible Dust EZ Sensor Cleaning Kit - 1ml Sensor Clean & 4 Green Swabs (1.6x) from Fotosense.

    Poll: Which Format do you shoot in?

    JPEG, but need to force myself to get to grips with RAW. I just changed over to using RAW plus large fine JPEG today.

    Get closer too Kingfishers

    How unexpected! Maybe because the bird can't see where to fly to, it's safer to stay still rather than crash into something trying to escape. As an aside, I do a bit of night-time shooting of rabbits from time to time, and they soon learn that a bright light is bad news, and they run like...

    Unwanted blobs on photos

    Thanks everyone for all the replies, this has bugged me for a little while and I had imagined I would need to spend loads of money with a camera repairer. Now to buy a rocket and some swabs.:thumbs:
