    Any fishkeepers out there?

    Looking good grendel! after seeing matts tank a couple of weeks ago I started looking around at planted tanks and was astonished by how gorgeous they are. I rushed off and bought a second hand corner tank (rubbish for taking photos). I have a couple of diy CO2 generators in but im on the...

    Travel Photographer of the Year 2011 - Slideshow

    I never realised the sand dunes were Death Valley, California. I just assumed they were Africa. That photographer is called Anil Sud, but check out William Garnett's shots from there, awesome.

    What is your photographic style??

    I believe style finds you rather than the other way around. If you keep getting out there doing what you enjoy then one day you will look back at your work and see some sort of pattern. Passion is the vital ingredient. I also think being concerned too much about the technical side of things is...

    What lens upgrade from Sigma 150-500?

    Police forget law shocker

    Photo Plod's point is valid to me. It does seem a little odd when you are judged not by your own actions but how other people react to your actions. If person A is doing something which is perfectly within the law and person B takes offense to it are we really allowed to arrest person A because...

    Bempton Cliffs

    I plan to make a trip next week to these cliffs and was wondering about what time of the day is ideal. I guess the sun rises in front of you so mornings could be tricky but maybe mornings are when the birds are most active? any thoughts? nice shots Gav but no puffins?

    Icelandic photography on TV now

    there has been a few on amazon recently. I found a site last week that still sells the french and german versions for about $65 brand new so I still hope to track down a similar one in english! If not, $65 for the same photos but a foreign language might be the answer.

    Icelandic photography on TV now

    Amazing program. I have been trying to track down a copy of 'faces of the north' for some time with no luck at all. If anyone ever hears of a copy for sale I would love to buy one!
