As a cyclist....car drivers scare me, Quite A Lot of the time.

Get a Panasonic TZxx compact or a fujifilm bridge if you want zoom without changing lenses. Don't get a sony bridge, the image quality has been poor compared to their rivals for a few years and they have a tendency to get oil on the sensors. If you think you might want to get into photography...

Hard case that attaches to your belt or a strap http://www.amazon.co.uk/T-Reign-Retractable-Gear-Tethers-Cases/dp/B00BF6QRFU/ref=sr_1_1?s=sports&ie=UTF8&qid=1426354154&sr=1-1&keywords=T-Reign+Retractable+Gear+Tethers+%26+Cases Something odd is going on with the pricing, I got the large...

We would have completely understood if there was a lack of space but what you can't see is the 4ft of blank space behind it, or the paid car park at the hospital. Traffic wardens being evil sods always turn up at visiting hours to catch the people on double yellows and grass (don't break the...

I work in a layby that is used as a free car park for a hospital so we've seen the being blocked in thing many many times. To answer the question: If you were legally parked and are then blocked in by another driver you call the police as they have prevented you from gaining access to your...

I've had this a few times over the years and it's to do with bot run blogs/picture dumps. Had one collecting pictures to do with female writers and another was a Russian one that seemed to be pulling pictures at random.

If it's in your budget then you should absolutely positively get the art lens. Also spare a thought for the DX Nikon 35mm f/1.8 or 50mm f/1.8 both are far better than they have any right to be for the money. I've always thought of the 35mm as Nikon's version of crack being sold to newbies "come...

Sounds like an issue with either the connectors on the lens or on the camera. Have you tried a different lens yet?

I'm currently locked out flickr because, reasons, (yahoo ate my PW and I'm attempting to get it back via e-mail) but my advice is to find local photography groups in your area via groups and photographs of your home area and add members as friends. I met a older gentleman with donkey's years...

@Garry Edwards don't get me started on PETA either, I think they were bessed summed up by "PETA we hate people", the statistics for their "rehoming" centre is chilling at best http://www.petakillsanimals.com/proof-peta-kills/ the reason the kill figures are so high is because they have extremely...

The judge recommended a "modest" amount of money and now it's going to the family court to sort out the mess, no money has actually been awarded. She asked for 1.7 million because you always ask for the highest amount possible in any lawsuit. The reason this all came about was because she had...

People not understanding why a judge might award a woman a "modest" amount of money to buy a "small house" from her multi-multi-millionaire ex-husband for raising his child on her own and without child support for the last 13 years, and screaming "but what about men's rights!11" about it even...

It's sad that 2 dogs are dead and 6 more are sick after attending crufts and it's a pity that toxicology reports take so long. Best case is that it's a disease, something like parvo rather than some nutter trying to make some sort of insane point about the pedigree dog world which I'm guessing...

HDR is a personal choice thing, personally I class it as "modern art" and therefore find it to be the work of the devil with no exceptions. I fully accept that other people like it, I will just never understand why no matter how many times it's explained to me. The least objectionable HDR I've...

Be wary of Sony bridge cameras and stick to fujifilm or panasonic. The IQ on Sony bridges are far worse than the competitors and they have a nasty tendency to get oil on the sensors, Panasonic will outlast you. You have a few options, I second @Llamaman's recommendation for a Panasonic TZ...
