As part of my work, I've recently set up a Pinterest, along with an accompanying Twitter, to promote items for sale online that are being listed by UK charities. I think it's a pretty cool way to keep an eye on possible bargains and support UK charities! I've set up a board on Pinterest just...

Thanks for all the advice. I checked about 10 times that the rewind knob was turning so I'm fairly confident it wasn't that. I'm going to see if the shutter works with the back on with no lens on when I get home this evening. I didn't actually get the film back, they called to tell me it was...

So I bought an Olympus OM-1N camera recently. It's my first time trying to use film. Everything on it appears to be functioning correctly but my first roll of film came out completely blank. I can see through the back that the shutter is working fine, and I checked the film was actually...

That's smart, it always helps to know in advance when something good is going to happen. Thanks very much :) He was jumping around like a lunatic for the whole show - nothing better than an exciting performer!

So I've just ordered a prism filter, and I'm failing very enthusiastically at freelensing. Thanks for the suggestions! :)

Lighting at the shows affects consistency massively. If you're regularly shooting at smaller gigs with poor or just okay lighting, the chances of a decent shot are so much slimmer. I shot for many years, worked for a couple of magazines and agencies, but still could not get a half decent shot in...

I've really been enjoying playing with distortion effects in-camera recently, using mirrors and glassware to experiment with the idea. A Lensbaby is probably next on my wishlist, but I wondered if there are any other weird and wonderful products available that I might not have heard of to...

Ooh good shout, dizidav. There's no shaking while the OS is switched off :)

I have a Sigma 18-200mm f/3.5 - 6.3 that I've had for a good few years, recently it's started playing up. When I look through the viewfinder, it's clear that something internally is shaking from side to side. It's a small vibration while it's not doing anything, gets very severe when trying to...

Thanks for the replies, perhaps I should have a good walk around and check out any new locations. I prefer to work at indoor locations, personally, which doesn't help matters! Got to ask people very nicely to use their nice restaurants/ buildings, I'll get looking around for inspiration again :)...

I used to take photos a lot, I was self-employed as a photographer for a year or so before the struggle of pulling in enough money to live on became too much, killed my love for the art and I went and got a real job (kinda!) I'm involved with marketing and design, so I sometimes get to use my...

Thanks for the help, I think we're going to sort the contact page soon as it's bugging me too. I hadn't realised how bad the loading time was, and I'll have a think about trying to put something together for an about page - I hate writing those things - thank you all for the input :)

I'm not sure if this is where I should post, I could've sworn I saw a "Hey look! I have a new website!" section at some point, but I couldn't find it so sorry. http://www.danielfellowes.co.uk But yes, I have a relatively new website - I'm trying to make it a little more commercially...

Jay reminds me of the housemate I just kicked out of my house :)
