They do sound interesting - thanks for that! The online aspect sound useful to resolve location issues, and also provides flexibility where job/ family commitments are a major issue. I guess that I am wondering about hands-on, vocational elements - being in a darkroom, actually having access...

Or, more succinctly - has anyone done a foundation/ diploma etc that they really thought was excellent - or even perhaps can recommend particular places based on word-of-mouth..? I'm thinking that someone here must have recently done this, or be currently doing this?

I hope that the 2 aren't mutually exclusive! I already have a portfolio, have constructed an artistic statement of intent - both for a course that I eventually decided was unsuitable. The course was to artistically stimulate those already having the technical grounding. I really want to...

Hello, When looking around this forum, I was unable to find any sub-sections specifically dedicated to studying photography. Is there such a section – have I just missed this? When studying photography, I am thinking of Undergrad degrees, Postgrad, Diplomas, Foundation, etc. From my...

When I originally bought the eos, I upgraded straight to the 17-85 lens - so would mean getting the 18-55mm lens separately. I wonder how many people buy the starter pack but don't use the lens, and perhaps sell it on e-bay or something.. Many thanks to everyone's responses - very much...

I was looking at those today - this seems like a good option! In terms of quality, the lens seems very good - was trying to translate that to dslr lens functionality. Would anyone be able to advise in terms of general functionality differences, compared with an eos, say, things where quality...

Just to follow up on this - I guess that ideally I woul like another EOS camera - then sticking with what I know - it is whether I would be able to get something lighter, less bulky - some of the newer models that I have seen seem of similar weight/ bulk. Woul anyone be so kind as to share...

Hello everyone, I am looking for advice about DSLR cameras, and would be grateful or any input anyone might be able to provide on this. I have had a Canon EOS30D DSLR for 4 years now, for which I use a Canon 17-85mm lens. Whilst I do still think that it is a fabulous camera, I do find...

A good pickup there - I am kind of involved in film, but not the film-making side. I do like Super 8 a lot though! I know a few folk who are more specialised in that field and a lot of the stuff that they do is great. Super 8 also happens to be a cheap-as-chips motel chain in the USA...

Thankyou!! :D I wanted to make a couple of posts about the following: - photography exhibitions; - studying photography. When navigating the forum, there didn't seem to be anything that immediately leapt out as the appropriate place to post these - or maybe I was looking in the...

Hello! About 2-3 years ago, I picked up a uk newspaper with one of those 'Mini-Guide to Photography' booklets. It was from the Guardian (Oct 07). Of course these things can be pretty variable in their usefulness - but still thought to hang on to this, to read it at some stage. When I...
