If your ISP gives you MySQL on your site, try Coppermine. It is free, but takes a little setting up, but once it is up and running uploading images is easy Get it here

I got stopped from taking photographs in an "exclusive" precinct in Edinburgh by an over zealous security guard. I apologised and put my camera away and that was that. IMHO that is the best thing to do - be polite and stop, don't argue. There is always another day.

I went the same way. Bought a cheap A6. Was asked what I wanted for Chriastmas an asked for a A4 Intuos 3 and got one :banana::banana: Must admit they take a bit of getting used to but once you have mastered them they are great.

The government is exempt it "has your best interests at heart" :suspect::shake:

It may not be that funny. There is an article in either Photography Monthly or Practical Photographer about a photographer being stopped under anti-terrorist laws for photographing the London Eye using a tripod. It's interpetation of the law is frightening and could potentially prevent you from...

The East Nook of Fife. Lots of pretty little fishing villages. St Monans, Pittenweem, Anstruther, Crail. All great places to take photographs. Small harfbours, still working and spectacular coastlines in between. The A9 corridor between Perth and Inverness have some spectacular views. The...
