Thanks Glen I had ventured in to the menu but shot out again a bit quick :D ...I'll give it another go!

went up to aldi this morning asked about the tri-pods and they sold the last one yesterday, the girl said she got one and they are a great buy and good ones.

Don't like the sound of a magnetic pad for anything larger than a point and shoot, definitely wouldn't chance a DSLR on it. I use a monopod when we're out walking, it doubles as a walking pole for me, I keep the camera on it while walking. I use the tripod mostly around the house (items for...

Most DSLRs have a socket for an electrical remote control cord, some of these are not cheap!! As GlenW says above if you don't have a remote control then use the "self timer", these can usualy be set to give a delay of up to 10 seconds, used to be so you had time to dash round the front of the...

hi kryssy, I would imagine that the member hobbies section would be appropriate..what do the others think?

hyla - best desciption of a tripod i've ever seen!!!! :D :Dmike - the smaller tripod is actual just a miranda titan tp10, it was only a few quid and is actually not too bad. it doesn't have a removeable head, but the one on it is 3 way. its also not got a quick release plate.i'm...

My batteries are NIMH rechargables and they certainly are good quality. I agree with jjordie that they are good and 7dayshop have always given satisfaction, in my experience. I have dealt with them for several years. Being based in Guernsey they do not have to charge VAT on anything under...

Woo, I presume your fz8 has a lithium rechargeable battery, if you are thinking of getting a spare you could look at ebay, I bought a genuine Panasonic in a blister pack from Hong Kong for �£11. I think they go for about �£25 upward in shops, it came in 6 days better than some deliveries...

Just another couple, its so wet out there's not much to do.

hi cothey your lucky having the card with the camera, some you get with certain cameras and others you have to but seperately. I have bother at time with my pc crashing and just going on a complete stand-still very annoying isnt it.

I have to agree HA.. I was captivated by it all.... I really didn't realise there was so much early colour footage.. The peice on the Claddagh,was a real eye-opener, I agree.. Seeing them fishing & the women selling the fish in the town.. You could see that they were in decline then. To have...

Fantastic pics, everyone!Hyla, it looks like your ivy has been painted on the edges and I love that tree!You do get cold, don't you? Goodness, I don't miss any of it but enjoy looking at all the lovely photos.

Foxy ladies are a rare commodity Fancy. :D

Aww they are such good pictures your sure to be on a winner there!( bet they even make tootsy jelous)

I had an old version of GIMP about 5 years ago but it was too quirky and I could never get my head round it. GIMPshop makes it much easier to use. It's come a long way since

Thanks marge.----------- shiney

Agreed and just to clear up my remark about "puritanical dogma". That wasn't aimed at GlenW at all. It was a response to those people who believe that you must do nothing at all to an image afer you snap it. There is all the difference in the world between developing an image effectively and...

the back seems tight, will take it to the same shop were i bought it, then i will know iff the film has been exposed or not. hb just opened the door of the camera and it appears tp open without the whole back falling off. if i find out its not going to be any good, will check the price of the...
