I'm terrible at taking photos of people. I don't have the confidence or knowledge to pose people.

Going on to Flickr and typing in the word "Leeds" is hardly going out of my way :P

I know many steam punks in Leeds who would probably do some modelling. Shoot me a PM with some details and I'll try and hook you up.

OP you seem really angry. My pet hate is people who post nothing but pictures of busses or trains on Flickr. FFS. Does the world really need to see that picture of a number 56 bus? PS. Hope the way I'm holding the camera in my avatar doesn't make anyone real mad.

What would you call camping outside a person house and waiting for them to leave? Edit: Also, I'm not saying that lamping a pain in the arse photographer was the correct course of action. Legally he's probably doing nothing wrong. Ethically though he's complete scum.

Tell me more about how waiting outside an MPs house to stalk his wife as she gets into her car is in the public interest. (y)

I've just picked up a Tamron 70-300 VC for just under £300 and it's fantastic. The image stabilisation on it is really, really good. I was out in the fading light last night and was easily getting 3-4 stops worth.

I'll be honest here, unless a post has the critique tag I usually don't respond. For posts without the critique tag, if it's a good image then it will just have lots of "wow, cool shot" type posts and if it's a bad photo it will just get 0 replies. I think particularly with images that need...

That was really great. Good to see that even the pros take absolutely terrible shots from time to time!

The key, as with everything that's "overdone", is to use the effect subtly. The best HDR images are the ones where you can barely even tell it's been done using HDR and it's the same with using ND filters. Seascapes, for instance, look best when there's a long enough exposure to show some...

I started using Aperture but then bought Lightroom as it has more features that I actually use (like the lens correction). I have a suspicion that Apple might update Aperture fairly soon as they'll be announcing release details of the new Mac Pro shortly, possibly tomorrow. If they're going...

Lightroom makes perfect sense once you start to think of it as a database of edits to RAW files rather than a file store of finished images.

Given that the body only camera and the one in the kit are exactly the same, I don't really see the problem.

What absolute nonsense. How is it harder to make a hard copy of an image? It would take less than a minute from walking in my front door to having a hard copy of a digital image if I wanted to print straight out of camera. Failing that 10 minutes tops in post processing and then uploaded to...
