I like this, but no way would I be strolling around a graveyard come dusk ....

I'm still very new to this sort of thing, so I'm uncertain how helpful I can be. But these challenges are fun, and I hope to participate myself. Anyway: 1. I like the angle/perspective - it looks very cosy amongst all that snow! 2. The photo looks a little dark, but that could be my laptop...

I might like to attempt this having been sadly remiss with my photography efforts of late, it may well be something I need ...

Hocus pocus. What's slightly depressing is that some people are genuinely taken in by things like this, making one wonder if said individuals even know how to think.

Good luck with the Iceland trip - I went back in February, booked onto a Northern lights tour which was cancelled owing to cloud cover, rebooked the second night, same problem. Hope you're more fortunate than that. I have, however, seen the lights flying from San Francisco to Heathrow a few...

Well, yesterday, I gave the Raynox which I got last week a spin. Showed the wife what I thought was a wasp, and today, browsing the macro forum, I discover it is, in fact, a hoverfly. So, all summer I have been screaming whenever a hoverfly buzzes past me in the garden - what I thought were a...

I do matched betting on and off: it's paid for a few holidays, cleared my overdraft - but, it's certainly not the road to riches, and you will need to be prepared to make the odd mistake or two. Try ironing - I'm thinking about this since I live next to campus, and potentially, could be good...

Yes. I use the 8gb sdhc cards in mine ... no problem.

Indifferent. And, at this stage, I'd rather not have people think I'm a 'photographer' - it's very much a steep learning curve, and I do it for my own interests, not to please others.

@louisemoody But: it's mainly for my work (i.e. philosophy) stuff rather than photo-ing.

Sports in general. Portraits. Mixed feelings about bug shots: appreciate the skill, but seeing them large exacerbates existing phobia.

I took my Hoya Pro 1 CP to Cuba (Cayo Coco / Havana) back in April - really brings out the brilliant blue skies. I'm not bold enough to post photos for critique though. Enjoy - it's a fantastic place with open, friendly people.

Macro. Or maybe wildlife.
