I'm using public transport to move up and getting my current computer up seems so much hassle. Plus I'll be home loads, where I'll want to use my current computer/monitor and as my old laptop is pretty much dead this seemed like a good time to get a new one. I'll look into a laptop + screen...

I'm moving to Glasgow in a week and have decided to leave my desktop computer at my Mum's house and get myself a new laptop for my flat. It's main use will be for photo editing and whilst I know what spec to look for with regards to RAM etc I have no idea what to look for in a screen. I'll...

After a loooooooooong time of putting it off I finally sat down to sort a website for myself. I knew what I wanted but I didn't have money to spare right now on getting someone to build one for me. I found the closest to what I wanted was available with Wix. The only costs were to have all the...

People and portraits I think too. My only tip would be to ask another dancer along (maybe a friend of the person you are shooting) If you are not a dancer yourself it can be hard to tell which arm and leg lines look the best/right etc. I've seen so many lovely photos of dancers and something...

I shoot gigs and as I've not really kept up with my own website I said I shoot a few bits and bobs for a friend's website whilst I was looking for a publication to take me on (expected date: 12th of never) I have all my photos as All Rights Reserved as I don't want them being posted wherever...

My only experience up 'till now was buying an A3 box from Silverprint, that set me back around £50. I now need a few A4 boxes at a far more affordable price. They don't need to be very deep as all I need them for is around 5 prints and a few business cards. I've had a good google but although...

Thank you for the link, that's great! I can barely fold up a reflector, so I don't expect to be able to successfully fold up any softbox, haha! I had a look on Flash In The Pan's thread, but couldn't find anything. I'll drop him a pm as that's who I got my brollys/stands off about a year ago :)

I need a softbox to go on a stand, with a flashgun on. Someone told me I'd need a speedring for this (which looked pricey). I know such softboxes exist for use with flashguns rather than studio lights but when I try and google it what I get is mini things that shove onto a flashgun, on camera :/...

I think the winners get announced on Monday so good luck everyone :)

I'm following the guidelines on the film pack, but I'll try this. Will wait untill tomorrow to try though as the light is fading now.

I don't think so. I was expecting to hear 2 "clunks" 1 opening and then one closing, but I'm not getting that.
