Smilies were not working for me either. Had to close and come back in again.

Hi I’m seeking your travel advice for a trip we are planning from Seattle to Jackson Hole in September 2023. We only have about 16 days for the trip and would be flying in from the UK. Yellowstone and the Grand Teton national Parks are the main draw but from the UK its much, much cheaper to...

Tomorrow is the first day of March. I love March. Nights are getting a little lighter, often the weather is drier, crowds haven't yet arrived on the streets of Edinburgh ... I can breathe! A couple of weeks ago I accidentally stumbled upon The Art of Photography series on YouTube presented...

Okay, that teaches me for not reading the rules and making two guesses! I am only hoping that it takes you longer to guess what this image is than it took me to work out how to upload it without using flickr! :shakehead: Anyway, here we go ... Welcome to this week's competition. A reminder of...

Folks, I know you are all really, really busy just now dropping hints to your respective partners, families and general acquaintances about what photography related gifts you want them to slip under your Christmas tree BUT January is fast approaching and we have not once mentioned the 2016...

A question about the Nikon DF and zoom lenses: I have 24mm, 35mm , 50mm and 85mm lenses which, for a lot of the time, are great. However, I tend to stick to one lens for each outing as I don't like, and it's not always convenient, to change the lenses when I am out shooting. I've just came...

I always liked Herman's A-Z group challenge so thought I'd resurrect it. This time using towns, cities and countries as the subjects. The rules. Start at A and, as a group, we will work our way through to Z. A is the first letter of the alphabet so one photo of a place beginning with A...

Time is ticking by and April is already beginning to escape from our memories as we venture briskly through May. Before it disappears in the mist of time, please share your single favourite image from April 2013. Here is mine below, a waiter enjoying a brief moment of respite before the rush...

How did it get to April? I don't know how March was for you guys but for me, not much really happened. The weather was pants (not the trouser variety) and my enthusiasm to go out and shoot pictures was non existent. I made a last dash effort on Friday to shoot some pictures while I was en...

Hi Not sure if you all know, but Don (Streetshooter) and Olivier Duong have been working hard to produce a new online photography magazine called Inspired Eye. The first issue is free and you can view it here: Inspired Eye | Developing the photographer's eye, heart and mind. I have to...

Hi All I was a little bit repulsive yesterday (my husband's term of endearment for me when I am impulsive and cost him money). I bought an iMac for editing my photos and surfing the net. I have always shot jpegs but made it my new year's resolution to shoot in RAW. No success so far as I...

I've just updated Snapseed on the ipad2. It was supposed to fix the crashing issue. Before it used to occasionally crash, now it's constantly crashing. If you have not updated it yet, I'd recommend waiting until they fix the fix! :rolleyes:

As the crow flies the distance between my home and my place of work is not too far. At the weekend it's just a short drive to get there. But I don't work the weekends. I work Monday to Friday and on these days it takes me between 1.5 and 2 hours (sometimes more) to get there. Most days I...

In November my brother died suddenly. It came a great shock to us, he looked fine, but he had a heart condition we didn't know about, and nor did he. He had a moment's warning that something was wrong and then he was gone. He was a keen photographer and would have signed up to Amin's Fuji...

I know February is a short month but boy did it pass by quickly. This was despite the days in my part of the world getting longer as the month progressed. More light and drier weather gave me more opportunities to go out and shoot some pictures. I hope the month was kind to you too and that...

I ordered a little white pentax Q for my mum the other day, knew she'd like it. It was small, cute, white and significantly cheaper than when it was launched, so a bargain. My mum loves a bargain! She asked if I could get it delivered to my house, that I could open it and have a play so I...

The last day of the first month of 2013 is upon us. Rather than wait until the end of the year to see your favourite images from the past year wouldn't it be nice to see your favourite or best image for each calendar month? A little reflection on the image and why you like it at this point in...

Anyone in the UK watch Channel Four's new series Utopia last night? I don't know if I was just on a sugar rush from my first-time home-made spicy fruit loaf or if the cinematography really was that good but I was wowing at the imagery and colours throughout the episode. It was a visual feast...

I was looking for a ricoh grd iv for my brother and noted that its been discontinued at a lot of the online retailers or, if they do have it, it's only in white. I somehow can't picture him with a white one. Is there a new grd expected soon? I didn't think it was that long ago that the grd iv...

Saw this man's work on the One Show the other night. I thought they were photographs. Incredible stuff. paul cadden.com - Gallery 1

My husband wanted to go to Auschwitz while we were staying at Krakow. I wasn't so sure. It sat uncomfortably with me that a place of so much horror and crime against humanity had become one of Poland's biggest tourist attractions. It didn't seem right but not going didn't seem right either...

Last week we visited Krakow in Poland, staying for 6 days. It was all a bit of a rush and, if you have read my other thread, you will know that we enjoyed it so much we are going back in December. I took a lot of pictures while I was there. I wanted to share a few.

I'm going to Krakow, Poland and surrounding area in December for the Christmas markets and some general slipping about on the snow. The temps drop further there than they do here in Scotland. I saw -20 is possible. I can't imagine my leaving the comforts of the fireplace if they do drop that...

I was on holiday last week, had planned to go kite flying on the beaches of the Western Isles off the coast of Scotland but the weather forecast was pretty pants. Grabbed a last minute flight to Paris instead. Loved it despite frequently getting lost as I ambled around the streets.
