:agree: What he said. If you're on a budget then making a mini studio is a much better option. I made one for around a tenner.

I took this lens with me to Rome. It barely left my camera.

Just thought I would add my bit here. I'm in an event at the moment (rowing) and I got through no problems at all with my Nikon d5000, kit lens, 55-200 and 35mm in a crumpler pretty boy 5500. Not exactly pro quality equipment but I hope this helps.

I don't know about the the Basilica itself because I didn't get a chance to go in there (I went on a Wednesday, same day as the Popes address), but it's fine to take photos inside most parts of the Vatican museum. Inside the Sistine chapel, they tell you to put the camera away pretty much as...

I've been there twice. It's one of the better safari parks to visit with a camera. Bit of advice. If you get there early, do the walkaround first then the drive second. There will be less cars that way. If you enjoy and want to go again. For my birthday last year, my other half took me on their...

Congrats. Great photo aswell.

I'm sure plenty of people will recommend one in future posts, but take a look at what you need it for. Do you want a heavy/sturdy tripod that can take a bit of a beating? Or would you prefer a lighter tripod that's easier to carry around and travel with. Think about what features you want...

Have a look at eBay. That'll give you a rough idea. I got mine for around £90, but that was a while ago. You can probably get one for cheaper now.

Oh, don't forget the pier, (If it's still there).

It's been over 10 years since I lived in Portsmouth, but I always found the old Portsmouth/spice island part of pompey very photogenic.

1 in 3200 chance of being hit by a satellite falling from the sky. 1 in 14 million chance of winning the lottery. I know which one my luck is more likely to get.
