My personal experience of WEX - good range of equipment hence why I still use them, however I only get the odd thing that I can't get anywhere else. My latest experience was trying to get them to price match some filters and the response was they could beat the quote price by actually charging...

My vote would be for the peak districts and I've only been there twice! You know when you get those times when you are in the car, fantastic scene presents itself and you think I wish I wasn't driving, I got that all the time when I was driving around the peaks. Locations also vary depending...

Good see you've caught the caught the photography bug :D I started off with digital having found the learning curve a little easier to handle compared to film. That was 5 years ago and I still love taking pics.

Hiya! Been looking for a uk forum and came across this one tonight. I'm Andy and interested in all types of photography. So far I've not really pinned down what I specialise in because I enjoy all genres of photography and so long as I still have the passion, I'll keep on shootin :)
