Thanks for this. Just looking at the tides for the Sunday, low tide is 10:30AM and high tide at 5:00PM, so I would probably be right in the middle. Might still be worth a look though.

Great shout :) Thanks

Thanks for the tips - will investigate (and avoid the bpat trip ;) )

My wife is riding Lands End to John O’Groats in September and I’m driving up to pick her up mid afternoon on the Sunday. I was thinking of leaving Lancashire on Saturday morning then either: * Stopping somewhere 3-4 hours away from John O’Groats on Saturday afternoon for some wildlife...

DenoiseAI is on offer again - $59.99 and the 'davidkelly' voucher mentioned by @silure130 (Thanks for that :) ) it comes down to $50.99 So it's about £37 at today's exchange rate.

The way I did this was to move the folders from one drive to another, then in LR it shows the original folder with a "?" to indicate it can't find the folder. Right Clicking on this entry enabled me to select "Find folder" (or similar) and navigate to the new location. It then moves the location...

+1 for not using it. Most of my photography over the last few years has been rugby, and I found myself with a sore thumb using the back button because of the funny angle I needed to get it into. Most other photographers I met did use it for sport, but I find it more comfortable with the...

I used to use Carbonite until I had a hard drive fail. The restore speeds were throttled so badly it would have taken me years to restore everything. The technical support was non-existent, just blaming my internet speed (which is 330mbps and was running at about 8% utilized) so I cancelled my...

Have you looked at the specialist on-line backups (e.g. Carbonite)? (I'm going through the same decision process atm :))

Rank amateur here :-) Only started to try shooting rugby last season at Rossendale RUFC and found out how hard it is, especially with the poor Rossendale weather and slow lens! Some of my pics on our website www.rossendalerugby.co.uk (Junior pics are restricted to registered parents only, but...

Dunno if this is remotely relevant, but I once had a problem where the PC would appear to start booting then shut down again within 10 - 15 seconds. It turned out that the CPU fan speed sensor wasn't returning anything, and the BIOS was set to shutdown on CPU Fan failure. I think I reset the...

I know you've no time for this time, but how about one of these if you're using a tripod/monopod? -> http://www.warehouseexpress.com/product/?sku=1023869&go=bargains&bsku=1025380 Actually a flash umbrella but is waterproof and clamps to 'pod.

Depends upon the weather and what you want to photograph, but you won't be far (less that an hours drive) from the Trough of Bowland Pendle Hill Crosby (Anthony Gormleys Another Place) Formby (Red squirrels) Blackpool (is the Riverdance still beached at Cleveleys?) The Panopticons...

There was a great tip from Alby about using a plastic milk carton in this thread -> http://www.talkphotography.co.uk/forums/showpost.php?p=501205&postcount=11 I use it with a Canon 430EX and it works fine.

I think most people think like that (I know I did). Most people aren't going to become the next David Bailey overnight - it's going to take lots of development & practice. What I found was by posting a few images on here, getting feedback from the more experienced members and listening and...
