    Hi All, Still very new to photography. I have a 'preloved' Sony A390 and, after having a morning with my Dads Canon 4000D + 70-300mm lens, I have been looking at lenses (you know how it is.) Obviously with me still be very new to the hobby, I'm still a bit wary of getting carried away and...

    Out again today, wandering around one of the local nature reserves (Sandwell Valley if anyone knows it) Started wandering off the beaten path and trudging through the wooded areas and came across this rose hidden behind a tree. Obviously placed there by someone and looks as though in memory of...

    Thanks Toni. Edit away brother... Great to see another perspective of an image I've taken. I've had a go at editing with the free Sony software that came with the camera. I dont think I can do some of the things you've mentioned though. I'll have another play tomorrow with some of the other...

    Thanks Steve and Tom. Number 1, was an attempt at a leading line and catching a reflection...in an ideal world that big ugly bush would've been a castle or something interesting to look at. Hey ho... Number 2, I just liked the look of the running water and reflection. Number 3, was an...

    Ok, So I've been out today for the first attempt. I really enjoyed being out, purely with the intension of taking photographs. I wasn't sure what photographs I was planning on taking though, and I think this is where I struggled most (Apart from not actually knowing what I'm doing obviously). I...

    Right then...I'm all set. I've got me some books to swat up on, camera and SD card, gonna get my hands on some of the suggested software, and I'm fully armed with bags of enthusiasm. I'm out tomorrow to look at some stuff in the cold. Probably take a few crap snaps while I'm there. Wish me...
