I have been taking advantage of the reduced Prime Day/BF deals for a couple of years, my CC subscription through previous offers is about 18 months in credit. The shift from standalone to "Software As A Service" is becoming the standard model, what I hope is that with the reduction in pirate...

Fingers crossed for Cyber Monday...

I normally run my CC subscription about 18 MTS in advance and take advantage of Prime Day & Black Friday deals - as mentioned above you can simply keep tacking them on. I also got a free 2 months with the recent purchase of a USB 6TB HDD :)

Keep an eye out for the Amazon Black Friday and Prime Days, you can buy the discount code early and simply get it applied to your existing account. I took out another subscription on Prime Day and that extended my current contract out for 18 months, eg 12 months on top of my existing contract -...

Hopefully this will work, further to the above, a couple of screenshots. The top part of the image shows the Games and Software section of my Prime account, this is where your redemption codes will be saved. The bottom half shows my Adobe plan with the next due date of 1 December 2018 - hope...

Simply buy the software from Amazon, you will then get a redemption code added to the software section of your Amazon prime account. I normally then phone Adobe (number above) give your Adobe account details, they will then talk you through the registration process. This involves copying the 25...

Quick bit of feedback, I purchased this reduced plan back in November 2016 as part of Amazon Black Friday for the same £69.99 for the 12 mth plan (equiv £5.75 pm compared to the full £9.17pm). This offer then came up on the recent Prime day, I was concerned about doing a second deal and I...

I always set myself the challenge of trying to get a diverse set of images throughout the whole year, as many will know some months are far too easy, while others can be a bit of a trial, that is why I always try to do a Calender 12 for the year. While I do not post often, I enjoy reading the...

Great to visit on line, but even better to go to the shop – loads of goodies in the bargain rummage bins, which don’t normally make it onto the website. Always more than happy to let you play with anything, stock in depth, friendly, knowledgeable, and helpful – wife has banned...

Just bought one of these and thought it was a good price and worth sharing – Ok, it is the slightly older model, but it does come with a Canon Off-Camera Cord 2 for £69. The bracket is nice as it has a double fit, not just through the base, but also to the side of the flash and will fit 580EX...

It is one of the few effects you cannot really do with photoshop, as pointed out they can be really useful with reflections, water, skies and generally boosting saturation. They can also slow things down if needed, as they can reduce light by 1.5 to 2 stops. Also they can have interesting...

The 500D is a +2 achromatic (or double element) close up filters, while there are some amazing other options around of smaller sizes (from people as diverse as Leica and their Elpros, through to Raynox and their DCRs), due to the two elements they can be very expensive. have a look at...

When I was looking the cheapest I found in was Microglobe 500D 77mm - but they are £125.23 so not quite under your limit, but a decent company to deal with. Just looked again and found Bristol Cameras have them for £119 inc vat - but not dealt with them before???

As pointed out by Carl best buy I think at the moment is Amazon at £35.99 eBay is looking closer to £50 new, you do not get them very often second-hand. The DCR-250 is a +8 dioptre achromatic filter (3 elements in 2 groups) and will fit any lens with a 52 to 67mm filter thread - I have just...

Not much to add to Nod’s list, but teasing out Dartmoor a bit more, southern side you have some nice granite outcrops, dark rivers and ancient forests– look for Haytor, Hound Tor, Becky Falls, Two Bridges, Dartmeet and Wistman's Wood, to name justa couple – I also like Buckfast butterfly farm...
