Well another year and another trip to Skomer. Weather was no where near as good as last year (well it would have been difficult to match) with the tent nearly getting blown away Saturday evening. Needless to say the Island and bird snapping was just as much fun. Had a new toy to play with...

Thought you all might be interested in the above offer. Photobox are doing a 2 for 1 offer on canvas prints, offers ends midnight Fri. Cheers Paul

Afternoon all, Haven't posted a photo thread for a while so thought a few of these shots deserved airing, had a great day out in the sun shooting planes. Popped along to the Cotswolds Air show where they put on a great flying display. Unfortunately I still have nothing longer than 200mm...

Well Christmas was spent in Germany this year and instead of the usual exchange of pressies Kerstin and I decided to put the money towards a couple of days and night in Berlin, post all the family stuff. Anyway here are a few shots from Berlin taken in the evening.....no tripod meant the 30mm...

Well it's Balloon Fiesta time of the year in Bristol and finally someone has managed to book some good weather. The Fiesta runs from Thursday to Sunday with all sorts of events and numerous balloon ascents, 6am and 6pm everyday. As I'm off work on holiday this week I decided to get up for...

Some of you will no doubt have been keeping track on Flickr, however I thought I post a consolidated selection of photos and a bit of a story from this years European jaunt! After heading off to Europe last year we again decided to do the same thing, all be it we chose two primary...

Well my mate and me had been planning a trip over to the Pembroke coast at some point this summer and since the weather forecast looked so fine we made it this weekend. Friday evening traffic was pretty heavy along the M4, however once that cleared it was pretty pain free. Tent was pitched and...

Well a few of at work have entered the 40km Brecon Beacons hike schedule for mid June.....must have been drunk when I signed up to do it! So yesterday we decided to head out for a scramble round some of the peaks in the Brecon Beacons. We ended up doing 13 miles, including Pen y Fan and Fan Y...

Well something a bit different from the normal photos, had a bit of a play on Elements this morning with a photo of my old Clio 182..... Here's the original.... And the shopped version... What do you think? Any good, any tips? Cheers Paul

Well I used one of the pics of Kerstin jumping with Hannes for my 52 Projects, here are a few of other I captured yesterday. The jumps were reasonably small, however Hannes seemed to have a great time and actually showed he can pick his feet up when he wants to! 1. 2. 3. 4...

Kerstin and I headed down to my parent's house in Devon for a couple of days over the Easter weekend. The weather was generally fantastic and that and the scenery presented lots of great photo opportunities. Here are a selection of them. Hope you like. A highly flattering...

Well popped out for a spot of biking this morning with my mate Chris. Decided to take the proper camera for a change, which meant we stayed away from some of the more technical stuff - didn't want to risk landing on the camera and a few lenses.... I was riding Kerstin's bike as mine is very...

Well I got a rare outing from the office today - managed to be invited to the British Army Combined Arms Firepower Demonstration on Salisbury Plain! Was a great afternoon with lots of big toys wizzing about, ranging from Quad bikes, through to Challenger 2 Main Battle Tanks and Apache...

Well since it was such a cracking day me and a mate head down to the Quantocks for some mountain biking! Buzzed about for 3-4 hours up and down twice. It's a great riding area with some interesting downhills flying through streams and woods - great fun. Decided not to take the DSLR with me...

So as is becoming a bit of a habit, I popped out this afternoon to play with the camera. Lovely spring afternoon with some good subjects to shoot! Hope you like. Cheers Paul

Afternoon all, From looking through the motorsport guide and doing various searches I couldn't find this specific subject.... I'm essentially after a little bit of advice from the seasoned motorsport photographers amongst us. I have the day off on Friday and have found out that there's a...

Popped out this afternoon to the stables with the better half and as always took my camera with me. It was a pretty a miserable afternoon, extremely windy and bitterly cold, although there was a bit of restbite between the torrential downpours! So here are a selection of shots...

Just seen these photos on the Guardian website...think they're pretty fantastic! http://www.guardian.co.uk/artanddesign/gallery/2009/feb/27/clark-little-photograph-waves?picture=343885006

Well after spending far too long cleaning and polishing yesterday I thought the car deserved a good run today. Decided to head over to the Brecon Beacons to try and find some fun deserted roads - as luck would have it the weather was pretty reasonable and the roads nice and empty. Totted up...

Well after discovering a real like for night shots I popped out this afternoon to brave the cold and try and get a few snaps. The sky looked like it was setting up for a good sunset and it certainly didn't disappoint. The location is a familiar and rather common one, however it still produces...

Well seeing as I now have a tripod and remote release I thought I have a go at cloning! So here's my first attempt, a little boring but certainly something that could be developed, plus it's a bit of fun for a Sunday afternoon. Anyone else had a go? Cheers Paul

Well my parents offered to buy me a tripod for Christmas....since I wanted to choose it, rather than leave it to my parents to select, I ended up ordering it, paying for it, and picking it up! With all this in mind I thought it would be rude not to try it out before asking my parents to buy it...

Well as I've got the week off and now the torrential rain and winds have relented I thought I pop out and try and get a few good photos of what remains of autumn. Still finding my way with the camera and lens, I think I am becoming more critical of my photos and composing better....anyway...

Post processing do you do? Having recently only got into taking photos in RAW rather Jpeg my post processing is currently limited to using Canon's DPP program to do the following: - adjust exposure - adjust levels - increase general saturation - add contrast - sharpen - crop...

Well after seeing Ben's photos earlier this week I finally took the leap and bought a Sigma 10-20. Although the weather has been pretty poor I am really loving the increased field of view that this ultra wide angle provides, which should hopefully create lots of different photo...

For some strange reason I am no longer able to send emails from Outlook (03) when plugged into my router via a cable.... when connected to the router via wireless it works fine.... Router is a Netgear DG834G and running Vista. Any ideas... Cheers Paul

Well it's almost unbelieveable, the day I trade in my 182 is the day I reverse it into a rock in a carpark...(stop the sniggering!). I can't believe it. This morning I trade it in for a nice BMW 330i Touring, this afternoon after a nice walk I'm reversing backwards and then there's suddenly...

You didnt happen to be driving up past the Spectrum centre at about 17:30 this afternoon - I saw a Black Clio with Turinis...?

Now I know this has been written about many times before and Ive read through the various threads...however just wanted some advice really. In the past Ive use various products such a Mer and Turtle Wax Extreme Wax Im now considering treating my Titanium 182 to some Meguairs.... Two options...
