If you are heading to Witney, I can recomend the Wychwood brewery they do some lovely brews especially this time of year in the local pubs. I can also suggest Hook Norton brewery which is close by as they also do some good beers.

All depends on you really and what you want to shoot. Sydney has lots of sights (Darling Harbour, Opera House, Bridge) just to name a few. There are also lots of street photo that are just waiting to be shot.... far to many to name but I'm sure you will have a really good time.

I have seen the programme Lightworks mentioned on a couple of threads, I haven't downloaded it yet as I'm not really near to my computer where I shall use it. I really like the ideas as it's looks to be a really powerfull peice of software for free. Which is always a bonus. However one thing...

I would suggest the Kata 467 (or some similar number). I have had this for a few years now and it has been brilliant. You can store a descent body and at least a couple of reasonable sized walk about lenses, a load of accesories, your lunch or other essentials and a laptop if you want. It comes...

I think that with the current situation in Thailand the price will only go one way for the time being anyway. Especially as retailers will try to make the most of the problems getting stock, I noticed that WEX didn't waste anytime putting their prices.

I found the cheap tripods to be just that Cheap! I ended up with a Slik tripod. This is a good sturdy tripod that I have used a few time and is a good trade off for price and weight. It was about £100, I also have the same style monopod which has been used a lot more and is faultless in my...

I saw this and was suprised that Blurb were not in there. I have used them in the past and have been very pleased with the results but I did find them slightly darker than on my screen.

Those look great.

All of my cameras have been New the only reason is that I have not found them freely available in the second hand market at the time. My current model D7000 is now just starting to appear although they are still few and far between. I have however bought a few second hand lenses. All have been...

Depending on what it is I'm shooting really, but if I know I have enough space on my 16gb card I sometimes set the RAW+Jpeg option so I have the convienience of raw with a turn around of jpeg if I was to just get things online quickly. I normally go back and edit the raws later and replace the...

Thanks, looks great.

I bought a Sony flash however I used it a few times but never really got to grips with it. I have now finally sold it. I also had a couple of old minolta lenses that I bought as part of a package but never really used them. They seem to make good paper weights though :)

I wouldn't get to hung up about this. A few years ago I was in Australia in January. I visited the ICE Bar in darling harbour, where luckily for me there camera had broken so we were allowed to take our own in. So I went from -5 in the bar to 20+ of the Australian summer. My camera did get a...

Just thought I'd pop in to say Hi. I have been a long time lurker but now plucked up the courage to finially post. I have been taking photography as a more serious hobby for about 4 years now, although I still concider myself a begginer. I had a Sony A700 and various lenses, I have recently sold...
