My version of the UK TV advert of about 15 years ago...

Didn't he say he'd retired? I put adsense on my sites just to gain some extra crumbs

Thanks. I run 5 blogs. 2 are currently unpublished and on semi-permanant vacations right now. Those were a model photo blog and a local business blog. I started those two and realised after a few...

Since when have gender/gender identity has anything to do with personal preferences? If somebody's idea of fun is to lug around a huge camera bag that weighs an excessive amount then so be it. It's...

For the same reason Ford does not make motorbikes.

Perfectly happy with my fake Seiko.

I have encountered a few lying salesmen but they are very much in the minority. No salesman worth their salt will want unhappy customers bringing things back. I remember having to sell an e-reader...

By that definition, everything with less than a 10x8 sensor (plate film) is worthless.

It means what it says. They can put your picture on freebies that they give out, on advertisements etc and don't generally have to credit you. They don't appear to be able to charge although they...

I tend to agree. I really need to test one though. I think I will have to go to Best Buy, slip my own SD card in, take some photos - particularly contra jour and see what the results are like - on...

I live in the US. I worked in the former USSR.

This one was free from FreeDigitalPhotos.net. I just tweaked it a bit to oversaturate, sharpen and raise the contrast a shade Are you really going to compete against FREE? I know if I was doing a...
