Interesting and thanks for the examples, really useful :)

Thanks both, yes sorry it's the first BH (29th Apr - 1st May) ok so looks like I'll have a decent window of opportunity, clear sky permitting! Downloading Stellarium now :) Much appreciated. oh and thanks to the mod for moving this - I wasn't sure where best to put it!

Hi all I'm heading to the Kingdom of Fife for the May bank holiday, and figure this is as good a chance I'll get this year of being away from light pollution and attempting a Milky Way shot! This is something I've never attempted before. I've been spending a bit of time looking at light...

I've worked in logistics for years, you would be surprised at how many touch points your parcel will have as it travels through a logistics network. Wrap it impeccably and use twice as much packing as you think is necessary, label your parcel clearly and ensure it can't come off, your customer...

just signed up too using 2016 as a promo code - Thanks! link in post one not quite right, this one worked for me http://thephotographeracademy.com/become-member

Yongnuo rf triggers that I won for a tenner :-)

I remember this happening to Stirling Moss too, didn't realise it was 6 years ago though! http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/8555609.stm

I started on that camera and it's a great starter, only thing I'd add to the above is check that the lens (assuming it's the 18-55 kit lens) is the IS version (Image Stabilisation) as it's far superior to the older non-IS lens

True Romance. What a film. Written by Tarantino, Directed by Tony Scott. An amazing cast of top drawer actors including the late great James Gandolfini. Immensely quotable, fantastically acted, and of course, that scene with Dennis Hopper and Christopher Walken. Cinematic perfection :)

This is one of the clearest ways I've seen of explaining aperture and how it effects depth of field in an image :)

Distractions will be your enemy! If you go to St Katherine's Dock make sure to go to the other side of the river to Shad Thames, then you'll more than likely end on Tower bridge admiring the views of The Tower of London, Shard & City Hall etc. and the walk along the south bank from Tower Bridge...

I also use onedrive and pay for the additional storage too, it's always been rock solid for me and the price is extremely wallet friendly! My monthly fee is only 50p though? Although I have one of the original accounts where you used to get 25gig, maybe that's why? 2 quid a month is still...

Likewise, I was there Monday evening from half six until midnight, in a group of over ten people and we were able to shoot all around Westminster, Blackfriars & Tower Bridge freely. Every time I've been to Tower Bridge I've seen lots of people doing the same. The only place I know about where...

Hi all - signed up yesterday, had bit of a poke around, thought I'd better say hi :) You seem to have good community here and I look forward to taking part. I've been shooting for a few years now, purely a hobbyist and on my second Canon in the form of a 60D, oh and an.......assortment of kit...
