Why stop at taking pictures and making breakfast? How about it taking you to the location too?

Reply to Jamie... In that case you'll remember me and Russ asking you to oil the brakes at Rothley to stop them squealing!!! Thanks for a great day...!

The big differences for me between a 'compact' and a 'dslr' are: 1. When you press the shutter on a dslr, it fires. Now. No lag. For action shots (er, railways?) pretty essential. I'd love to carry a high spec 'compact' in my pocket to catch those shots you miss, but I haven't found one...

OK - so shoot under the hedge!!!

Call me controversial, but instead of a step ladder, how about getting right down low on your knees, or even lie right down and use a wide angle lens? If its good enough for Top Gear its good enough for me!

Hi - advice to '50041' - your home page looks spot on - but I'd suggest you host it somewhere else. It takes an age to download, and I gave up after a couple of minutes. Maybe I've just been unlucky and I'll try again later.

Hi David Good start. Questions I'd ask are: How do you prepare the pages - if you're using something like Dreamweaver its worth taking some time to set up the various tags (p, a, img, h1, ...) in a CSS stylesheet. It'll help you a lot with consistency of appearance and as you change your...
