Thanks for the kick droj, I like that bit of advice, it makes sense.

Nod, I'm guessing you can't say the P word? Haha I lived in North Devon for the first 24 years of my life and loved everything about how pretty the places are. I just need new ideas....a kick up the behind!!

Thanks Mark, most of my weekends are taken up by the family but may take you up on the offer one day. Will definitely look at those spots though. I'm quite new to photography and still not get with settings etc.

Yes Mark, landscapes but am open to all types as want to learn more. Nod, Thanks you, I'm from N.Devon but there's so much beauty there it's hard to know where to start.

Thanks a lot to look at. I forgot that I go to wollaton park, it's great for Deer and the lake is always a great photo opportunity. I believe they start Lundy trip from middle of march from Bideford Quay. I've always wanted to go there.

Thanks Alastair, North Devon: I usually go to locations close to each other like Westward Ho!, Instow & woolacombe. Nottingham: attenborough nature reserve, canel, Beeston Weir. I know using maps and driving around it the best thing but at the same time so is word of mouth.

Hi, A double question, I'm looking for new locations to take pictures in Nottingham and North Devon or surrounding areas. I keep using the same locations when I visit and need new inspiration.

John & Mortimerhill, Thomas Heaton is a young great photographer. He has a YouTube channel and takes some great pictures. Nawty, I have the cheat sheets and they are just a reminder of what your camera does rather then showing any real cheats. I've read the Cambridge in colour and it makes...

Thanks, There's a lot of info been put on here to read. I will read it later. How come it took me so long to find this site? Haha

That's exactly what I was trying to do Craigus but like I said got it horribly wrong.

Thanks Stewart. I have a lot to learn, I followed a YouTube clip and it turned out wrong.

I was shooting M Mode and changed F Stop, Shunter & ISO as I thought I could have got a better sky / water but ended up with a white screen.

I understand that yellowbelly, It's just to get a feel of what to do and why we do it. I'm trying to work out settings and thought I'd got one right until I went out last week and my screen was totally white after taking a photo.

Thanks Phil, I think I just need a nudge at times and not be lazy with the settings. I can spot a good composition for the picture it's just the settings.

Thanks Paul W.H I have seen that website before but never known anyone who used it. I have just ordered a copy for my camera. Even Thomas Heaton uses cheat sheets.
