I was aware that the batteries could not be posted by airmail internationally and that is why I went to post them surface mail, however the post office themselves said that it was better to send them airmail; and as i said the counter staff checked with the manager. That is why the destruction...

Earlier this year I sold my Canon 1Ds Mk2 to a man in Russia. Knowing their was problems about lithium batteries I sent the camera with one battery installed by courier and agreed with the buyer to send the two spare batteries by overland mail. When I went to post the batteries the Post Office...

The problem with restricting the fish in the tank or using a small tank to photograph the fish is that many species lose their colour when disturbed. This is especially true of fish which show exceptional colour when in breeding condition.

Having kept and bred tropical fish for over 55 years and photographed them for the past 40 years I have tried many methods. Small fast fish are the most difficult and method I currently use is simple. A digital SLR set on dynamic focussing, a 50mm macro lens, a Vivitar 283 flash mounted on the...

We use both film and digital cameras but I must admit that film is used for "fun" and for our large collection of vintage cameras. One point I would like to make regards the photographing of aquarium fish. One of the reasons I became interested in photography over 40 years ago was to photograph...

I bought the Nikon Coolpix5400 from InfraReady and then sent my Canon Powershot s50 to the same place to be converted. The conversion cost me £50; and the Canon gives much better results than the Nikon does. To really get the best out of IR you should be able to fit different filters to the...

About a year ago I had a couple of compact cameras converted to full spectrum infrared; a Nikon Coolpix 5400 and a Canon Powershot S50. They were lying around unused and the conversion has given them a new lease of life. here are just a few of the pictured from them. White Irises by...

I hope they do to and you have as much fun as we did with the trip..... Well with all our old cameras really. Jenny.

I am sorry I don't know what film was used, we buy film in bulk (mainly from e-bay) and keep it in the freezer until we use it. I do know it is an out of date film but it could be one of many different makes. We processed the film ourselves and scanned the negative. Jenny.

Just one of the photos taken with my trip. Jenny. [/IMG]

Portrait professionals very good if you tone everything down a bit especially the face sculpture ( I take all that right off). Jenny.

Yes we have this addiction. We have a collection of around 150 old cameras. We use all our cameras and have great fun processing the film. You can see the cameras and a few photos taken with them on our website http://www.jennyandernie.co.uk/Old%20Cameras/our%20collection.html Jenny.

No matter what kind of photo I put in (good or not so good) I never get any feed back, so I just go with "do I like it?" . Jenny.

I have a Bronica ec with three lenses; 50mm, 75mm and 135mm; and a aluminium case (the case is a bit tatty but okay). I have considered selling it for some time now; message me if you are interested. You can see the camera on our website here...

I agree with AWP. The art of photography is not having a lot of gear it is being able to see and photograph an interesting image. Practise looking for images whilst out and about and use a single camera and lens (around 50mm); a good tip is to keep looking back for an image you may have missed...
