    Returning to photography after a relatively long break

    To be honest, the 70-200 was my most used lens before it went missing. Nothing really wrong with what I have, but the batteries will probably need replacing as well. All these things add up, that's why I am thinking whether it would be a good opportunity to look at options before buying what I...

    Returning to photography after a relatively long break

    So, about 5 years ago I moved from the UK to the Netherlands (my wife is Dutch). After moving I haven't really pulled out the camera much, so have started thinking that I probably should. One thing that went missing in various moves which I was gutted about was my 70-200 F2.8L IS MK1. So with...

    Any motorcyclists here....?

    The standard procedure around me seems to be rather than repair the roads, drop the speed limit :( As to bikes, I've had a couple. Currently have a VTR SP2 in White :)

    Looking for some advice (Fashion shoot)

    I get that I'm not all that good, and in particular have no experience with this sort of thing. No idea why I was asked to be fair, probably more to do with not having any sort of a budget for anything, seeing as she's only graduated this year. I'll look into using white backgrounds, I should...

    Looking for some advice (Fashion shoot)

    Well a lot to take on board there. You're quite right in the assessment that I don't do people pictures much if at all. I shall probably leave the flash gun out and try to use the available light and source a reflector. I probably should point out that I am not billing myself as a...

    Looking for some advice (Fashion shoot)

    It's been a while since I've picked up my camera........I remember the basics with DOF, apature and stuff like that (which is a start i suppose). I've been asked to take some pictures for a young designer starting out for her web site. (I've said no problems, I don't mind doing it as a favour...

    What do you have to do to an iPad before selling it ?

    Don't forget to remove it from your devices on your apple account (can't remember if this is automatic) as it will still be linked to your account so the new owner won't be able to set it up

    This idiot needs locking up.

    I think it was to set an example to discourage other idiots. To be fair he deserved more than a slap on the wrist, and hopefully it will discourage other retards from copying it

    BSB Assen tickets to give away (sort of)

    Righto, Apparently I won a pair of BSB tickets last year, which I promptly forgot about because I didn't hear anything after that). They turned up on Friday last week, and I have for plans this weekend so can't make it. It is a pair of General admission tickets for all 3 days (Fri/Sat/Sun)...

    Advice for taking photos (Bikes) Brands Hatch GP

    Been a while since I've been on here..... I was supposed to be taking part in a bike track day, but unfortunately I decided to fracture a bone in my foot instead...... (Foot is almost better now, but due to prolonged non use, muscles aren't quite up to it I don't think) I've decided to go and...

    Going to New York later this year

    From recollection flying into JFK, staying at the Wellington hotel (though I can't remember where that is off the top of my head)

    Going to New York later this year

    Thanks for all the advice :) I've ordered the guidebook, so I'll start looking at how far the suggested places are and start planning :) My girlfriend is welcome to do all the shopping she wants, as long as it's her money she spends and not mine :)
