Lol thanks for all the comments guys! I got myself some dry mealworms and have sprinkled a few down. I think I'm going to go to the local nature reserve and lake, maybe sprinkle some there and wait to see what turns up! The maggots sounds fun but I'd be so frightened to touch them lol (not one...

I really want to get a few shots of a robin but haven't seen one in my garden for a while. I hear they aren't really seed eaters, so what's best?

I'm new to all this and really like the day light slow shutter pictures. Waterfalls, sea etc so I'm looking to invest in a ND 10 stop filter. I just don't know where to start?? All the numbers confuse me lol. I've seen one on eBay which says "Haida pro II MC neutral density filter ND 3.0 10...

I know it's not derelict but I think the rugely power station would look nice for car shoots? I'd like to know of some derelict places too so let me know if you find any :)

So my wonderful fiancé has bought me my first lens!!!! Excited much!!! it's a sigma 70-300mm F4-F5.6 DG macro and I'm just wondering where's best to start??? I'm a little newb to the DSLR world. I love scenery, light trails and light painting. Would love to get into macro too

I'm wanting to do a few slow shutter shots on water to get the misty effect, but I know the long exposure will cause the picture to be white so was wondering what lens filter is best?

Wow that's crazy! Last plane made me giggle, reminded me of those cartoons where there is like a stampede of huge animals then the smallest one running miles behind gasping for breath lol!

Another awesome photo! Im going to experiment when my kids have gone to bed lol. Christmas tree is going up this weekend so will have fun with that :D

thank you :) what a beautiful photo!

Well to me it seems rather grainy?? I'm just after perfect settings so I can experiment more with objects in the picture too.. I sawa great bokeh shot where a lady looked like she was blowing bubbles but the "bubbles" were bokeh lights!

http://www.flickr.com/photos/80165332@N05/8232783494/in/photostream I dont know how to upload so dont know if ive done it right... settings are 1/30 F5.3 iso 640

I'm not sure tbh lol. I'll get my picture uploaded onto the laptop later this afternoon as I mainly use the iPad to come on here, that way I can see all the settings used. I have a Nikon app on here and I tried to be more creative by using card to make shapes rather than the circles ( don't...

So I purchased my first DSLR a few weeks back and creative photography is sorta my thing. I love the light trails and the bokeh. I bought a cheap set of fairy lights from pounds and and tried my first shot last night, but to me it seemed grainy??? I'd like to know what setting would be best...

I've been looking at these on eBay, I love the images they produce and just wondering if they're worth it?

Thank you ukglyn! Nice to meet a local :)
