My son who is not a photographer is looking to buy a compact camera with video facilities with a budget of £400. I have plenty of knowledge of cameras but absolutely nil on video. He would use it mainly for holiday stuff and photographing his children. The easier to use the better and best...

I use Dale Photographic in the Merrion Centre Leeds - always done a top job on my Nikon DSLR's

PM me with your address Mr Gas and I will send you an M42 - Nikon adaptor it is not one of the more expensive ones but you are welcome to it to have a play around - I have got rid of my M42 lenses so have no need for it - no charge Peter

This week my grandson has his end of year school sports day and swimming gala. No cameras allowed at either event !! I can understand this in the political correctness gone mad times we live in, but what a shame these events cannot be recorded to look back on.

Ordered mine - Thanks

That is what I call a labour of love, Jenny, the book and the images are fantastic. Well done you must be so proud of it :clap::clap::clap::clap: Peter:

Thank you all for your advice, it is really helpful. I have been practicing so feel quite confident, just hoping the shop is not too dark with the poor weather at the moment. Thanks again :thumbs: Peter

Thanks Andy, it will be bride and bridesmaid bouquets

I have been asked to shoot flower arrangements for the portfolio of a florist. The lenses I have available are Nikon 17-55 2.8 or 50mm 1.8 Any suggestions please also with or without flash (shoot will be in florists shop so shady daylight conditions) Never done this kind of project before...

I've always been left handed and just used cameras without thinking about it - I didn't even know they were right handed. In the same way I have always used a mouse with my right hand.

Me too I am going walking in the Yorkshire Dales

Dont you just love it when you go into a convenence shop and take your purchases to the counter where the guy is gabbering away on his mobile phone, takes your money, tills it up, gives you your change and turns his back on you, all without interupting his conversation :nono:

I read somewhere to use 50% spectacle lens cleaner + 50% water on a microfibre cloth - it works for me on TV and computer screens:thumbs:

I am in Leeds, you can try my 18-200 if that would help Peter
