    Real noob question about White Balance.

    The best way would be to get a neutral grey target into a picture under the same lighting as the subject and sample off that. I think that if that is not possible then looking for something that should be neutral grey in the image is better than looking for something that is white (but not...

    Low light indoor candid advice

    If the fluorescent ceiling lights dominate you are going to want to be shooting at around 1/50s exposure to limit the weird colour problems you can get if you shoot "out of phase" with the lights...

    You need to get some padded cycling shorts if you are doing any sort of distance. They really make saddles a load more comfortable. I wear a pair of baggy shorts over the Lycra for decencies sake :)

    Camera bits and bobs advice

    That is the 100 slingshot which really is quite small. This CAN be a good thing because it limits the junk (and therefore weight) you may be tempted to carry around, but if it means you cannot take things you want you will end up buying a bigger bag in the end anyway...

    Camera for a 12 year old. Which one?
