    Traceys stuff and nonsense.

    I thought I would put all my images in one thread, as it seems to be the thing to do :) Some will be part of my 52, others submissions to the challenges... sometimes just "photos" First one up, another from last weeks trip around the local university... I much prefer this type of modern...

    Hollywood came to this building a couple of years ago to film a batman film (the Dark Knight Rises). so I though I would use this as my black and white "offering"

    week 4 "extreme". My thoughts about architecture is that just because it can be designed and built, doesnt mean it should. Our local university is a prime example... some of the buildings on the campus are extreme in their design (like this one)

    Computer ignoramus looking for advice

    Since my trusty sony vaio died, and is beyond repair, I now need to buy a new laptop (we dont have space for a desktop :( ) I was hoping to limp the laptop along until I had enough money saved for a really high spec laptop (best of everything) but now those plans have been scuppered. Can...

    Laptop spec.

    I think I will need to buy a new laptop to replace my current "poorly" one. I have not taken any RAW images with the D800 as the laptop seemed to struggle with the sample one a friend sent me. What sort of spec should I be looking at for a replacement? Current spec was i5 (original first...

    Laptop woes

    Thanks @RocketCowboy I suppose I was lucky enough to make sure all my data has been removed, so when it does finally go, I have lost nothing. I'm hopeful it wont take too long to save, however, it blows the ability of spending at the camera show in March

    Week 2/52 Chairs and Benches I took a walk along the river with my hubby today and came across this odd looking seat carved out of an old tree.

    OK, better late than never (or while my computer screen is working at the moment!) First entry is Gates. I love these gates to our memorial garden, so big, imposing and when the poppies of remembrance are there, they are very poignant too. I've been wanting to shoot them at night for such a...

    Laptop woes

    Thanks all. It has a separate graphics card (ATI Radeon I think), so I'll have a look into how much that will cost to replace/upgrade. @SteveH my hubby had a look last night, he plugged it into a screen and pressed the Fn keys to try to wake the screen up and nothing worked.

    Laptop woes

    Any computer experts here please... My workhorse Sony Vaio laptop "died" yesterday :( The screen has stopped working (I have plugged it into an external monitor and nothing is visible on that either). I can hear the fan and the hard drive so there is "life" in there. Any ideas as to...

    What's The "Best" Photo You Took In 2014 ... Ready, GO!!!

    Great idea. My favourite of the year is this one from a Castle in Jersey, looking out over the harbour and bay. A trip around this castle was so interesting. It was also a "last minute" trip my hubby organised for me and him before my mum started her cancer treatment, so the trip itself meant...

    52 photos in 2015 project

    I think that would be doable... there are a few generic themes in there... maybe you could use the "unique camera angle" in one of your sports photos. The main idea is to improve your shots, but to have fun doing it too! Good luck to everyone doing this challenge, and for @Eyelight for helping...

    Traceys 52 in 2015

    It would be rude of me to suggest this challenge and not do it myself! SO I am using the Nikonites list of themes with the following guidelines/changes. 1. I will do all 52 weeks, attempting to post up the pics every week but not limited to do so, but by the end of the year I will have done...
