Hi everyone, Next February I'm heading off travelling in SE Asia and Australia for 20 weeks- I'll be backpacking around SE Asia for 6 weeks, then I'm off to the Philippines to volunteer with a marine conservation organisation for 10 weeks, then I'll be doing 4 weeks of backpacking around...

Incredible video! Very inspiring for me as well as I am currently in the early phase of planning a trip to South East Asia next year. I'm thinking of hitting Thailand, Laos and Cambodia. Anywhere you would particularly recommend in Cambodia for good photography opportunities? (Apart from the...

Hi guys, a bit of an odd one this as its not really that photography related, but I figured this would be a good place to ask! I'm president of the Natural History Society at my uni (Uni of Sheff) and we are looking into running a 5 day or so residential next year in Easter. We essentially want...

Cheers Ned, I've just been reading about CPL issues with wide angles, so I guess its not an investment I really need to worry about, I'm just very used to keeping my cpl strapped to my kit lens for landscapes! But then if I didn't invest the extra saving in filters, I have always been after a...

Hi everybody, I've decided that its about time I parted with some cash to get a new landscape lens to build upon my Nikon D3200 and kit lens set up, I obviously want a quality boost but I also want to go wider since most the time I shoot at 18mm and usually long for that extra width. I've been...

Hi guys, I'm going to be staying in Scarborough soon and I'm looking for some decent landscape locations (waterfalls, rivers, field, moors, vistas, anything really!) within the South East of the North Yorkshire Moors not too far from Scarborough. (with fairly easy access) Any recommendations...

I would say try experimenting more with your composition and position. A lot of them are very central, which often isn't the best look for photo, try looking up the rule of thirds ( and there's loads of other composition guides as well) and take some shots working with that. But thats not to say...

I agree, general field craft type stuff I could do with brushing up on. I don't necessarily have loads of time to be out in the field gaining experience of how to find and get close to wildlife, I did look and see if I could find a book about it a while back, but I couldn't really find much.

Hi everyone, I'm looking to try some coastal land/seascape photography some time soon, and was wondering if anyone knew of any hidden gems around the Lincolnshire coastline? Preferably in the north eastern corner? My only idea so far is shots of the pier and groynes at Cleethorpes, somewhere...

I definitely second Yorkshire Wildlife park. Nice big natural exhibits including some great walk through exhibits holding on to safety by Billy Clapham, on Flickr Lazy leo by Billy Clapham, on Flickr Dozing by Billy Clapham, on Flickr

Thanks everyone! Its given me a lot to think about, I think I will probably go with one of the websites rather than faffing with ebay :)

Thanks guys, very helpful! Will check them out and see if I can finally shun my bridge camera for something proper ;)

Hi all, Im pretty new to ebay, having never bought anything off there. Im wondering if people have experience with buying from Hong Kong via ebay? I want an SLR, and I am thinking a canon eos 550D, but I can't quite do the usual shop price, so i looked on ebay and saw a dealer in Hong Kong...

An update has come up, they have re-opened http://www.lincstrust.org.uk/wildlife/index.php#380 :)

We have about 40+ in our garden at the minute (which the local sparrow hawk has been making great use of), luckily my dad gets free bags of barley from his work which they like to chow down on when they have eaten all of the mixed seed we put out, which can easily be done in one day. We get the...
