Sorted! It was a memory problem. Now installed!

Got it! But it wont run on my computer! Must be my driver as it runs on wifes laptop. More expense!

Many thanks - my order from Amazon has just been dispatched.

Cheers. I think I will take the plunge and go for the elements 9 plus Kelby. I've seen the photoshop mag advertised and may look at this.

Cheers Keith - that seems to tick the boxes!

Cheers Leigh. I've had a look at Amazon and as usual I have a choice of many! I'm really looking for something that explains the basics in easy steps. I do not get on well with the "dummies" series! Good illustrations would be a bonus.

I have been using the PS Elements 2 for several years and now thinking of investing in Elements 9. I am wondering if anyone can recommend an EASY to understand book explaining Elements 9? I struggle with online instructions. Many thanks.

Cheers David & Gramps - nice images. Motivated? - Yes! I really must have a go! Will I back away? only time will tell!

Cheers Scott. I will be spending a few days in Bath in a couple of weeks and hope to have a go then.

Cheers all. I think my use of "candid" was of course not appropriate in this context! Normally I take fur & feather and they offer no objections or run/fly off! I just feel awkward with a camera in public places looking at people. Perhaps with time, my inhibitions may be lost. I've been very...

Just a general question from someone who usually only takes images of "fur and feather! When taking "candid" images, particularly of people, do you ask permission first or do you just shoot? Seeing some images on here, my feeling is to diversify, but I don't want to get into any trouble...

I've just gone onto flickr and as Di says it is easy to use - it must be if I can do it!

Bag arrived today ( Lowepro 200 Flipside). Takes every thing I need camera wise for a day :). Everything else - waterproofs, cycle tool kit etc goes in the pannier. Just got to work something out to carry scope & tripod if visiting local reservoir :eek: However, now I need to road test it all ;)

Had a quick look around for backpacks and spotted the Lowepro Flipside 200 (halfprice at WExp) so have ordered one. Sizes seem about right. Heres hoping :)

Can't help at the moment but I would also be interested in camera bike bags. I have a 40d with 100-400 lens and would love to take it out on my bike but need to be able to carry it safely.
