Thanks all - excellent advice which I will pay attention to. Does anyone have any tips about using the flash, please (although the forecast is pretty good, so I'll try to use natural light wherever possible)?

Hello all I've been asked by friends to shoot their wedding this weekend, at very short notice! Just to put the wedding into context, it is taking place largely because he comes from Iran originally, and he wants to go back for a visit with his partner and their children, but they can only go...

Thanks James...I will look into his work and give it some thought. Chris...thank you too. I will contact you via your website. Alex

Thanks guys...very helpful, and I will follow up your suggestions.

Hi All I've just been given the role of programme secretary for our photographic club for next season (lucky me!). One of the tasks is to track down some guest speakers, so please come forth with any suggestions you may have. I'm looking for people who can get their message across clearly...

I'm hoping that people who know more about cars than I do (and that is just about everyone!) can help me here. I am in the process of setting up a business doing guided tours of the area in which I live for small groups, with me acting as their guide. Hence I need a suitable vehicle that will...

You're very spoilt for choice Rudi, and it depends on when you are thinking of going. My experience is fairly limited in terms of going there for the sake of photography, but I have been going up there all my life for family holidays. Personally, for beautiful scenery, I love the area around...

Hi Gary I'm not far from you, just outside Newton Abbot in fact. I can almost guarantee that if I go out and drive for 10 to 15 minutes at the right time of day (towards dusk), that I can see deer or a fox in the fields around where I live. A few nights ago I went out with a new lens and...

Thanks guys for the tips. Yes, I'll look out for the hot places, and take care of my lenses carefully! I'm very excited about the potential for high ISO shots with the D7000, and reckon this will be a good chance to really try it out! Cheers Alex

A metal working shop made basically out of corrigated iron with a timber frame. There will be sparks flying about, for sure, so the filter is definitely a good idea, thanks. Any other thoughts please?

I've got an opportunity to take some photos at a local metal workshop. I went in there a couple of months ago, and was intrigued by the look of the characters in there working away, and the atmosphere in the place - it seemed like a place that might not have changed in 80 years. The 3 or 4...
