I might bump into you! We are off to Norfolk in September also and we are counting down the days. Not sure about any of the sites on the link you have provided but I can say Snettisham has the most amazing sunsets. Also huge flocks of birds coming down to roost over the flats. There's a...

I wanted to take some pictures of my lovely grandaughter but she arrived with a horrible spotty rash all over her face so took some pictures of the dog instead.

There's a decent car boot sale in hope on Sunday morning. Should keep the better half busy for an hour or two.

The 35 mm is fantastic. I just spent a few days in London and took the 35 as well as my 18-55 kit lens and my 55-200. The 35 was the only lens I used and needed. The images are superb compared to the kit lens. I did consider trading the 35 for a 50 1.4 but I at the moment i am more than happy...

Cheers all. I am really looking forward to it. Especially the trip up to the top of the shard.....

Thanks. You have certainly put my mind at rest. Hopefully now I can concentrate on the photography rather than looking over my shoulder.

Good morning all. Just a quick question. I'm off to London for a couple of days soon and am looking forward to taking some nice photos, however I just wondered how safe you feel carrying your camera around without the fear of someone mugging you. I would like to get some nice night time shots of...

it will be interesting to see how the police are going to handle this. stop and search? hand over the benson and hedges sir? there are kids in the car and you might light up at any second.........the government banned drivers using a mobile ages ago and i see at least 10 people a day using their...

if smoking is so bad why don't the powers that be ban it all together? oh yeah i forgot about the billions it generates in tax revenue! well all you smokers out there ( i use an e cig and they are the next thing to be targeted) be prepared to enjoy your smokes standing in a field within a...

KISS.i like it. I think I have been my usual self here and over analysed what should be an enjoyable experience. I have considered renting a lens but at the end of the day it will still be me setting up the camera and my fat sausage fingers pressing the shutter.

Hi. I think you have pretty much hit the nail on the head there with my high expectations (of myself) paired with my low confidence due to little experience of this kind of situation. I am more than happy to go along and snap away in auto mode but then why have a half decent camera if I can't...

As its all close family members they will do what I bloody well tell em to do! I think my original post has been slightly misunderstood. The meal we are attending is prior to the actual wedding. The happy couple have got a professional photographer for the main service. Thanks all for your help...

I am doing it because I want to do it hence the request for the advice. I am not the main wedding photographer as I am nowhere near close enough to a standard to volunteer for that job. Its just a few photos of close family prior to the main event. I just want to do them justice on their big day.

Hi all thanks for the advice. I never thought to visit the venue first. I'm lucky as its not far from where I live. I will go and investigate and maybe even try the food while I am there! And Brian maybe I was been a bit posh saying preliminary wedding meal. Its just a bit of scran before they...
