    I have a picture selected for publication

    I wonder how many of us have actually looked at Hashcake’s image. ( I think it's Hashcake's!) No it's Tazmaniandevil's! In fact it’s a nice reverse ‘Z’ composition. The main path leads the eye to the right, where you are stopped by the narrow-boat. Then you’re led...

    I have a picture selected for publication

    I take photographs for the love of it... Of course I do. I'm not good enough to seek payment! But at the same time, if someone wanted to pay me for the occasional shot, I wouldn't refuse. To date I have earned one packet of filter coffee, for a shot I had published in a Walking-Rambling...

    Has anyone had a call from Nikon UK??

    And why not PC? You have some great work on your site. They wouldn't want to offer a duffer like me the opportunity; or would they? If they are anything like the tool manufacturers in the woodwork industry, then they might well leave the camera with you when you've done the road test! Or...

    Hi folks

    I am not a total 'newbie', and I might have done this before. Thing is, when I enrolled on the Forum, I had only been here a week or so, when health issues raised their heads. Both me and the Missus. Not complaining you understand, just explaining! So photography and lot's of other things...

    is there a photogrpahy course ombudsman for courses that won't refund?

    Sorry to hear about your problem. That's one of the perils of online shopping I suppose, but as someone pointed out Trading Standards will help if the operators are based in UK. Now, if a seasoned pro can't understand the material, the material is either too dense, or it's flim-flam, to make...

    HDR: overused, boring or something really special?

    I don't think I can claim any deep meaning for my work, but I don't class them as 'pretty pictures'. Don't denegrate your own work Pete. Others are always too ready to do that about anyone's efforts. John

    Whoever gave planning permission for Stonehenge wants sacking. The thing is falling down. :cuckoo:

    HDR: overused, boring or something really special?

    Quite agree Pete, but I don't see photography as taking "pretty pictures", or painting come to that. Aerial and linear probably matters more in painting, where the artist is 'making' the picture, but understanding the difference can help a photographer compose a nicer image; or recognise one...
