I have repossessed my 15y/old's mobile phone (that I pay the contract on) as a consequence of disrespectful behaviour. A lesson for him - 'Every action has an equal and opposite reaction' My father-in-law says 'Having kids is better than not having kids, but only just'. He's 83. My partner...

Hey, congratulations! Babies are born every day so just chill. The best help you can be to your wife is to be calm and supportive. It can be difficult to watch the one you love in pain or discomfort, but the pain is for a purpose and then you will really be a Dad. Enjoy your last nights of...

Hi, I had exaclty that problem with my 300D and sent the body off for a service and repair - £150 later, the problem was indeed with the lens, not the body. My mistake for not doing enough research. My lens is the non IS one, though and I have been advised that it isn't worth repairing...

My 10 year old son does some amazing origami! He keeps asking what the theme of the week is so that he can make something for me to photograph. Pity my lens is broken and I am camera-less..... However, I promise that I will post some of his work when I can. And I can't say about the gay...

My boyfriend used to stage manage and his advice is pretty similar tot he above. You will only have 3 songs to shoot, on the 4th the NME etc get their shots, then you will have to take your camera away, serious consequences is you are caught photographing without permission! Not a very...

Such a beautifully balanced picture. Where is Jordan's pier? I would be proud of that one! I have printed and framed several of my own, I have a thing about having pictures and art that has been created by people I know, or of places we have been.....makes it a bit more personal.

Thanks. I just found Canon EF-S 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 IS Lens on Amazon for under £100....(am I allowed to say that here?)

Hi, don't be shy, I'm quite new, too. Everyone here is friendly and very helpful. Have you got some pics to post?

It is the lens that came with the camera, which was bought for me second hand a few years ago...... so probably is time to replace it! I have just read another thread discussing new lenses but I have about as much money as knowledge about what to replace it with, or where to look! I'm...

It's a Canon EFS 18-55mm

Hi All, following from your very helpful advice, I sent my EOS 300D off the Canon for a service. I got it back today and with a great big cheer, opened it up to test it out. My camera was fine the whole time! It is my lens that is the problem :(!!! So, $150+ later, I am no closer to being...

Thanks for the lovely welcome and the advice. I have just sent off my beloved camera to Elstree. I am a bit sad to see it go......but am excited to think that it will be fixed when I get it back and just in time to take beautiful photos of all the new life in the world!

Hi, I have been playing around with photography on and off for a few years. My main camera is a Canon Eos 300D, which I got second hand a few years ago. It hasn't ever been serviced and now has Error 99 showing when it refuses to take a picture.After a little interent research, I have found out...
