    Your photography pet hates

    For me, seeing as i mainly shoot motorsport, is when i spend a fair amount of time manouvering around fences, trees and people to get a good spot to shoot from and some pro (trackside) comes and stands right in the way of my shot. And it's not because I am bitter or anything like that. Just...

    How do YOU find the location?

    I've always wondered about how people find locations. There are a few around my way but they have all been done to death so finding new ones is definately a good idea. But actually finding them always seems difficult. I have seen a few local photographers shots from some very impressive looking...

    Newcastle & Northumberland

    I'm no good with coastal walks but there are some fantastic walks inland. Simonside and Thrunton Woods are two personal favourites. Incredible views when you get to the peaks and plenty to photograph. Also have to second the Quayside suggestion. Always plenty to do down there. Ian

    D90 Owners Thread - Anything D90 related

    Just discovered this thread. Got my D90 a couple of months ago and am thoroughly enjoying the experience so far. Came from a D50 which I have kept around as a second body as it was a great camera to use. Not really much else to say about it really so here's a photo I took yesterday as a hello...

    Children in pictures- your views

    The whole 'privacy settings' thing really irritates me as well. I mean i have friends of all ages on facebook; some have children of their own, some dont. But how would i know they weren't 'interested' in children? I can honestly say that I wouldn't have a clue. Just because you know someone...

    What music...

    Ok, so a music thread in the post processing section. Really? But bear with me. Spent a good few hours this afternoon/evening going through, editting, tweaking etc a lot of photos from the past week. Now usually this is a tedious event for me but today I've had plenty music on to ease the...

    Children in pictures- your views

    I feel the same as the majority of you guys. Although I am still relatively quite young and have no children of my own there is just something about them that makes great photos. They are so expressionate; showing their feelings/moods significantly more than adults do. 'Tis a shame many parents...

    "Mr Site" Takeaway Webistes - Anyone have any experience?

    I must admit I used Mr Site for a year, until my subscription ran out recently, and was completely satisfied with it. It was great for the initial "get my photos out there" type thing but i did get the feeling it was rather limited in terms of development. So from me; if you want to get your...
