    Photoshop Elements 8 WARNING

    Your CD analogy is not quite correct. You can listen to a CD as many times as you like, but you should not make a copy and listen to it on another stereo. Just as you can use a piece of software unlimited times on one machine, but you can't install it on another machine and use it there as well...

    Got up late, going to bed late. Will need to regulate my sleep before getting back to work on Tuesday! :o

    Hayfever?

    Hayfever does give me some irritation but fortunately I haven't had any this year suprisingly, it is strange because I seem to associate the smell of pollen/rapeseed with hayfever and having fields all around where I live means I get that quite often. Hopefully I can get through this year...

    Tripod Advise

    I would recommend a Manfrotto 190XPROB as a good starter tripod. I did some searching around the forums and asked questions before I bought mine and I have been pleased with it. £84 without a head might put it out of your price range though. For a head I would say that you don't need a 'ball...

    Taking my camera on a plane?

    Putting it in your hand luggage shouldn't be a problem. I took my D70s in my hand luggage on Easyjet from Luton-Budapest and Amsterdam-Luton. Also carried it from Heathrow-Tokyo and back again. Have fun, hope you get some good snaps.

    Common newbie errors

    I have a D70s: 1) Accidentally switching camera to Manual Mode and it has some odd shutter speed set so i have to stand there for about a minute while it takes the picture. 2) Putting the ISO up and then forgetting and going outside where it doesn't need to be so high. Probably some others I...

    Review Lowepro Orion Trekker II (what will fit in it)

    Ah, that last picture there is very useful, doesn't look like there is as much room as i wanted really. I'm going travelling to Europe and Japan this year and I'm hoping to find a bag that can store all my daily stuff (basically everything except clothes) and also take my camera gear. I'm...

    Review Lowepro Orion Trekker II (what will fit in it)

    Nice little review. You couldn't take a picture of the top compartment filled could you? I want to gage how much space there is. Thanks. Also: Is it safe enough to carry all the gear in a bottom compartment, particularly when putting the back down on the ground etc. I guess it should have...

    Need Head (for Manfrotto 190XPROB)

    I bought one recently, it is my first tripod. My impressions were very good. I haven't really had a proper chance to use it yet but it seems very flexible. The weight isn't too bad, anything much light and i'd be scared it wouldn't be sturdy enough (even though I know it would be). I haven't...

    Review Review: Manfrotto 190XPROB

    Oh, good timing on the review. I need to get a tripod and have been looking at the 190XPRO today. Probably with the 460MG head. This may have convinced me. Nice review.

    This seems like a good place to start.

    Thanks for all the welcome messages, seems like a very friendly place. I'll try and get round to putting some of my photos up this weekend. :)
