Well going to give this a good go this year and see if i can stick it to the end. I'm going to give myself 4 Jokers so i don't get stuck and put off, but try to use no more than 3. I'm in the Accrington/Blackburn area in Lancashire, if is anyone is in the area and wants to meet up for some...

Have never really managed to get into one of these yet, but getting comfortable with me camera now so this is the year

Thanks Guys. Thats what i sort of hoped for! Going to wander about tonight with "Experiment" on me mind and back fill the others as and when i can :-)

Have always liked the idea of doing a 52 but never really tried. Is it too late to start or can i just start at the beginning and try and catch up???

Hiya Michael, not sure if you have done this shoot yet, but if you don't mind a novice helping i'd love to join you. Even if just for the experiance. have had my camera for quite a while now and not really used it. Now i'm mobile again i really want to try as much stuff as i can to find what i...

Hiya folks, im fairly new to photography but really enjoy macro work. I have a Sony a450 with a sigma 18-200 lens, now I need advice on weather to bite the bullet and but a dedicated macro lens or to get some extension tubes. I would be shopping on a budget of about 150 ish. Would extension...

i'd be interested in this as well. Ziggy, do you know the names of any of the android apps?

i went on my first candid street shoot last year with a couple of TP members, and got to say i was really really nervous at first. But we went to manchester city centre and i had a great time. There are loads of people rushing about and it's very rare that anyone actually even noticed us. By the...

ha ha, wait until you get to 40 and realise the amount you have spent on bikes over the years!!!!! Like i said i've took my old Sony A450 out with me quite often, and i ride quite hard(agressive xc/freeride/mess about) and have come off a couple of times without incedent to camera :-)

i used to take mine out with me mountain biking and even had a couple of offs without incident. I tend to use a small pouch with pleanty of padding and then place that inside my normal riding backpack. As i normally take an extra layer or 2 and waterproof jacket there is normally a little bit...

this is the light i use. It is one of my mountain bike lights, i use 2 of these for offroad riding at night so the power is really good. They come with a headband as well, quite comfy as well even after a few of hours and really powerfull on full beam :-)...

i have found it a massive help. I tend to take a pic on full auto of something i have seen similar images of, and then switch to manual and try to play with settings until i can get close to the afore mentioned image. This means i end up with most of my shots looking like thousands that have...

as a newbie to the world of photography i can see myself doing all the same shots of popular places as everyone else. I have some ideas that i want to try myself, but i'm sure if i look hard enough i could probably already find the same shots somewhere. But i will be trying to replicate some of...

To be honest mate if it is an indoor park. They can ask you to leave for any reason they like!

I'm already signed up for this and i also eceived the first mag this month. But to be honest i don't mind, there was some really good stuff in there and a little booklet on filters and how to use them. As i am a complete beginner it's a real help :-)
