Your Views On Photography Magazines
I find the letters page of Amateur Photographer is good for a laugh. It's always full of die-hard film users waxing lyrical about the joys of silver halide and how digital just couldn't satisfy them blah blah blah... I only buy mags if there's something free. Lets face it they regurgitate stuff annually and that can't really be helped, there's only so much to photograph, and you can get al...

Another photographer being hounded!
Just picking up on Andy's comments earlier, that was the view of many officers when PCSOs were 1st introduced. However in the last 12-18 months many officers have come to realise just how valuable and useful the PCSO's have become. In a similar way HATO's were slated when they were 1st on the motorways (Wombles as Jezzer calls them), now most of the motorway traffic guys can't wait to hand a jo...

My view on it is this: A limited camera will restrict the type of shots you can do well. If you stay within those limitations, you can produce pictures as good as any more expensive camera. A more fancy camera with a better lens will open up a wider range of shots that you can do well, and more easily. I speak from experience here - I used to use an all manual Practika MTL, and my earliest p...

More on wedding photography
I tend to shoot group shots in the order of "who needs a drink most" gets shot first ;-) Usually to the point of getting the "everyone" group shot before they've hit the bar - then like One Man And His Dog, heard off the Families and do the "friends" shots. After that, it's the families in which ever order we agreed - if there's an ill person, that side of the famliy goes first etc. ...

I tend these days to associate PJ stills with newspapers (a dying medium) and video with TV, internet etc. When switching on the news on TV, I feel vaguely disappointed if all they have are stills of an event. But maybe I'm in a minority on that.

Photography vs Videography
I cannot choose one over the other much as I've tried to. If you do both you tend to end up as jack of all trades........ .........yeah, yeah - and the rest! :-D

Do newspapers have a role anymore?
How's this for another coincidence......reportedly Murdoch's son has purchased a country property local to where the Camerons live......while the red-headed Murdoch executive..Rebecca something or other, has reportedly purchased a property also within spitting distance of the PM's house.........talk about being hemmed in on both sides..... They've lived there for ages, as does Andy Coulson. ...

Strawman has given you the answers I think, but I thought I'd add my 2p in case it helps. First, I think be honest, explain why you want to take the photographs, where they will be shown and show you are a sensitive and responsible photographer. Research your subject to the last hair. Get the required papers before applying for a session. Take a good picture of the establishment for their...

It was a fun (and informative) hour - what with Cole, who kept flashing and James, who kept nipping out, it was quite exciting wondering 'what next!'. I felt it was a little slow, but that was probably a combination of the glitches and slow typing. James was very patient and kept getting himself back in (Cole denied flashing, but we all saw him!!). I did enjoy the hour though, and would defi...
