Thanks folks. So'ton was a loss - couldn't find anywhere decent to shoot. In Eastbourne I was lucky enough to know someone in the area who showed me a cool spot where you can see Lewes and a windmill that some guy's building by hand. Will share some pics soon! :)

I'm off to Southhampton and Eastbourne this week for work and have 2 evenings free. With the nights closing in, thought it'd be good to get out with the tripod and do some landscapes. Are there any locations worth going to? I usually drive around for an hour scouting first before finding...

Had a similar question elsewhere so I thought I'd copy+paste the reply :) I take your points. :) It's actually pretty hard to write those sorts of posts. I could have gone into waaay more detail, but I figured that if you're a complete newbie to Lightroom then there's much better websites...

Just added a new Blog post, folks. It details how you go from the photo on the left, to the one on the right. Click here to view the post. :) Let me know what you think.

I have to admit that it's rather satisfying. :)

Would like a black one! You know the "Q" button on Canons? Brings up a variety of info on the LCD... Would be good to have a distance scale that could tell you where you've focussed and how much front-back will be in focus. Couldn't be hard!?

They're really lovely to hold. Just solid and lovely. :) And yes, the distance scale is useful - but not very. I really don't know why digital cameras can't come with a hyperfocal distance display!

Playing around with my new 5DmkII tonight, banged out these. I have these 3 cameras knocking around my office. No real reason except the Brownie Flash and bellowed Brownie were found at my Grandparents, so it reminds me of them. The OM10 I bought on eBay for about £30 and have so far ran...

No problem. :)

It gave me a warm and fuzzy feeling inside, last time I did it, so here you go folks... Free Adobe Lightroom Presets If you like 'em, leave a comment on my blog! :)

I'm still using a 5 year old Philips 17" square format one. I don't see the need to upgrade as I find it really accurate, not too bright, and portrait photos fit as well as landscapes do. Why, oh why, don't manufacturers make 1:1 monitors any more!? 16:9 ones annoy me massively for editing!

Erm... You could: Use them as a sledge Cut amusing animal shapes out of them and use them with paint, not dissimilar to potato prints Build a wall around your house, to protect you from ze Germans I dunno... What were you hoping to use them for?
