What can 'go wrong' with a lens? I don't want to be seen to be blaming equipment for poor pictures, but I have just got a 55-250mm lens and the pictures it produces are miles better than the 18-55mm lens. Both are the standard Canon jobbies, same quality. Yet in the same conditions the 55-250...

I am looking at setting up an easy to use NAS drive to store all of my movies and TV shows, plus a back up of pictures. I have narrowed the choice down to 2 Seagate devices, the Central or Personal Cloud http://www.maplin.co.uk/p/seagate-central-3tb-nas-hard-drive-a32ll...

Had a play the other weekend and just done a small amount of PP. I think these have come out a bit better IMG_1339 by Anthony Molyneux, on Flickr IMG_1345 by Anthony Molyneux, on Flickr IMG_1356 by Anthony Molyneux, on Flickr IMG_1371 by Anthony Molyneux, on Flickr

I really don't get why people don't think a 197 isn't a good daily. I have owned mine since January and done around 13k in that time, all of which I have had a smile on my face. You don't have to be in #racecar mode all the time, it is perfectly fine to drive around town in a normal fashion...

Ideally I want to be getting good shots 'out of the camera' with only a little PP. I like and appreciate blended/merged pictures but that type of photography isn't for me. I think I was having a lot of issues with these shots as they were taken on the north Norfolk coast (Cromer and surrounding...

Thanks for the input all. With these I was generally trying to get decent landscape shots. I have been trying to employ rule of thirds (with the car shot for example) but maybe I need to practise that a little more. One thing I am finding difficult is exposure. If you take the car picture...

I have been trying to get to grips with my DSLR, watching tutorials etc but I feel my photos are just coming out really badly but I don't know what I am doing wrong/badly or if I am just trying to capture really difficult shots. IMG_1049 by Anthony Molyneux, on Flickr IMG_1032 by Anthony...

For doing long exposure shots of water, do you do them when light is going or can you do them during daylight with ND filters?

I managed to loose my filters kit at Donington this weekend too. I didn't zip up the pocket on my bag enough and I had been all over the place before I realised

I think on those shots I used manual focus. The tripod I am using isn't an expensive one but it seems sturdy enough. I haven't got a remote release so have been using the 2sec timer so pressing the button doesn't introduce any vibrations. I think IS maybe on (never changed it) so I will give...

I have been trying to get to grips better with my camera over the past few weeks and I have noticing that a lot of my images aren't particularly sharp. Here are 2 examples These were taken with a Canon 500d with the kit lens and on a tripod so I think the equipment is up to the job...

You can actually get a Picasa version to download which has some basic features in

I did some night shots earlier this week and through in some light painting.

Yup, tried all sorts cleared cache, etc. Still have loads of memory left, I close apps regularly, etc

My previously very good Moto G upgraded to Android 5.1 recently and it has gone really laggy and slow, so much that I sometimes wait for 5-10 secs for it to complete a simple demand (which was instant before the update) and if I want to use the phone while streaming music via bluetooth then the...

This has probably been asked loads of times, but a search didn't yield much. I have a Canon 500D with the standard kit 18-55m lens, I am wanting to get a cheap-ish zoom lens to compliment the kit lens and help get some better motorsport shots. Any recommendations for what to get?

Ahh, that is Lear's fault then, we just made the frames with the motors which power the main movements (foward/back, up/down, incline/recline, etc)

Lovely cars, hope the seats work alright (I used to work for the supplier). What is the boot space like?

Im in a similar boat, I have the first gen Moto G, which is great but I want something with a better camera so the Moto X seems to fit the bill but I'm not sure to go for that or a Sony Xperia Z3 compact.

HELP!! Any tips on how to push a brake piston seal back in? Changing the pads on the rear, pushing the pistons back in and part (about 1/3rd) of the seal has decided to pop out from the main body to the piston. I am struggling to push it back into place!!

Lovely cars, I personally prefer the Coupe having been around both (working for JLR and a supplier). Are you very tall though? or have family/friends that are? If you do, try not to have the seats all the way back, as they squeak against the trim behind the seats.

I work with some of the Ford quality systems through work and I know they take rattles and squeaks very seriously. I would speak to Ford UK about the service (or lack of!) you have received from the dealer and state that due to their incompetence it has tarred your experience with Ford.

Could the extra boost be 'pulling' oil through the breathers (if the breather vents into the TIP)??

I checked the oil on ours the other week, it hadn't used a drop in 1200 miles

Edited for accuracy

Love the update, should the new engine spec be a lot more reliable for racing?

The Ibiza used to be used by a guy known as RobT and he was more secretive over the car than some F1 teams. The car then ended up in SVP's hands and from what I understand they made it into a car useable for rallying.

Any updates? Nice to see my old seats and harnesses still in use
