Other than this place and TalkPhotography, do any of you use any other Photography forums? I like Talkphotography but it has a lot of bird watchers... yawn who post nothing other than that and offer not critique at all. So any suggestions welcome.

Ok last night I set out to get a Star trail of a Neolithic Burial chamber. There are a few of these things dotted all over Pembrokeshire and a few of you may associate Stonehenge to this monument. Well that's because Stonehenge is made of Pembrokeshire blue stone, the same used in this monument...

Hey guys. At present I use Cokin filters. Now specialising in Landscapes, I think it's time to upgrade to Lee filters. What set up would people recommend? All I have at the moment is a hard grad and Tobacco filter as I sat on my soft grad lol. I'm defo in the market for a 10 stop. Where is...

Hi guys. The Nimbus is going in for a full refurb all round. Having them powder coated as the two left wheels are severely curbed due to someone pulling out on me and having no option but to bail into the curb. But I'm really undecided on colour. I love the standard Anthracite colour but I...

So today was the day. It started off by us all meeting in Merthyr for 11 with members from Cliosport.net, clio197.net and meganesport.net in attendance. Once everyone had arrived (even Hodgins) we set on our way up the mountains. The weather was superb with pure sun and a solid 15 deg c...

A chance for you photoshoppers to show your skill. Post your picture pre editing and post. For me working on a picture in PS is my favorite part of photography, it's like the skill of a dark room back in the day. Here is one off the lens followed by the edit. DSC_0034_edited-1 by...

Hey guys I'm going to be in Cardiff bay Saturday night with the sole intention of photographs. So anyone around the area is more than welcome to join me. Scott

At present I have the sigma 10-20 F5.6 and tbh it's a fantastic piece of kit and the len's I use the most. But I feel I'm now restricted using this lens. The reason I say this, is because I tend to do a lot of night pictures and sunsets and it struggles with a wide enough aperture. On top of...

Hi guys. Looking to get things nice and organised. So I know we have the meet in the Brecons in March, I'd also like one in Cardiff. Plan is to meet up somewhere like the red dragon centre, go for some food, maybe bowling or something? Then off to take pictures again. Add you name if you think...

Ok so after a few PM's on asking how I achieved my star trails, I've decided to do a noobs guide on how to achieve them. 197 Star Trail by scott.thomas21, on Flickr Introduction So what causes star trails? Well in essence the Earth is not in a fixed place and rotates. As the Earth moves on...

So today I set off to try my hand at Urban photography, something i had never done before and after being inspired by Derelict-UK and his wonderful history in photos I thought i'd have ago myself. Below is the history of the site. Please please read it. The Naval Armaments depot at Milford...

Right guys Within the regions section I will now be collating driving roads, photo locations and places to go in the car within Wales. Obviously I know a few i have driven myself, and that are local to me. What I don't know are all of them out there. So this is where you come in. If you know a...

So the car managed to pick up a cracked wheel bearing which after 3 weeks of minimal driving I finally had fixed. So to celebrate I drove some of my favorite roads through the Gwyn Valley. As per normal, the roads were deserted and nicely relaid. Enjoy. Welsh 197 by scott.thomas21, on Flickr...

Ok so I can't afford coilovers these days so I'm after springs. I don't want the front sitting higher than the rear, I also don't want them to be s**t so what would you recommend? I'm not going to be tracking the car, its purely for appearance purposes only. Scott.

So the dash is telling me I am due a service and the car has just clocked up 23k. What does a 23k service entail? Scott.

Part 1 This weekend my GoPro Hero 2 arrived so I could start on making a video of the newly purchased Nimbus. I've alway's had a massive interest in videography but mainly spending my time doing photography I haven't really looked at it. So I decided that was to change and over the course...

I know there are now a fair few of us from around this area and we all seem to be travelling east to meets. So if i was to organize one for down our way, who would be interested in attending? I was thinking First week in December on a weekend for a meet and pictures. Scott.

Evening chaps. Managed to get the old wiper motor off, new one on. Tested it and works fine. Put it all back together, put the wiper arms on and they are catching on the windscreen. If I loosen them off then the arm won't move, tighten them and they catch the screen. What am I doing wrong...

Hi guys. I have a budget of £30-40 to get a friend a present. It has to be photography related as they are photography minded and they role with an entry level Canon DSLR I think its the 550D? But I could be wrong. Any nifty little accesories you would recommend? Scott

Hi guys Just cleaned the car, went to clear the screen with the wipers and they jolted to a stop. Now the won't budge and the interior smells like electrical burning. No lights on and the rear wiper still works. Thoughts? Scott
