it is amazingly good stuff in here, isn't it - I've been getting some great ideas too and will hopefully get the time to try them out soon :thumbs:

:( I've been pricing up lenses for my a200 as I'm really interested in macro work and close ups. In the end I opted for a set of extension tubes and also some close up lens that you can screw onto the front of the existing lens for a fraction of the price until I can afford something more...

I only ordered my laptop from Dell through recommendation of a friend who drew up some specs for me and he had always got his computers from them and been happy with the service. I got the 10 days delivery notice, followed by delay, and another delay and another and another and another - it...

Please do tell! I've also been thinking about it but some sites don't seem that cheap

:clap::clap::clap: that's exactly how I feel - anyone looking at my previous posts must think I just drool over fantastic photos without giving a good reason. That's because I'm a complete novice & still learning (and some of the things posted on here have been very inspiring and giving me...

I'm well impressed with all of these extreme macros, something I'm seriously interested in & would like to do but been put off by expensive equipment - so thanks for the tips :thumbs:

oh well done HS :clap::clap::clap: And well deserved credit - it's a lovely photo, I can almost feel like I'm standing there myself.

Funny you should mention Amazon - I decided to buy a "beginners" book for when my new camera arrives so that I can learn how to use it properly and of course it prompted me to "what others have bought" - the cards were much cheaper than the one I decided to buy at the same time as the camera :bang:

I've had no problems with returns of faulty electronic equipment but as Claymore says, keep the packaging & receipts and there is no quibble. I bought a cinema surround sound which packed up nearly 12 months after purchase, and yes, I got equal value in vouchers to spend at Argos but on this...

thanks for the welcome guys. I had a good look around the site and realised :eek: that I really am a newbie when it comes to photography. Some really useful information though, and I particularly liked some of the reviews. Very informative. As a result, I have a confession to make - I...

:wave: hi everyone. Thought I'd better introduce myself before I start looking through the forum. My main hobby is actually gardening especially growing my own fruit and vegetables, and most of my recent photos have been a photo journal of how the garden and allotment plots have developed...
