Great choice Dee, this was my favourite from this week. Congratulations Phil!

Has anyone tried these cheap wireless flash triggers? Are they worth the small outlay or would I be better off investing in something a bit better? Opinions please http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Wireless-Flash-Trigger-Hot-Shoe-3-Receiver-for-Canon-Nikon-Olympus-Sigma-LF107/131214794386?_trksid=p2047675.c100009.m1982&_trkparms=aid%3D222007%26algo%3DSIC.MBE%26ao%3D1%26asc%3D20140328180637%26meid%3D88ea455c40284fb8804f2db4cbe380eb%26pid%3D100009%26rk%3D1%26rkt%3D10%26sd%3D161019232807

I've tried various methods but ended up using a folder for each year. Within those folders are sub folders that are named date/subject ie, 2015-01-22 Morecambe, that's where I store my raw files from that day. Any edits that I do are stored as JPGs in another sub folder called Exports. I use Adobe Lightroom as my main editor and filing system, so I can add keywords such as landscape, portrait, clouds, horses etc which makes it very easy to search for images at a later date. It's a very simple system because that's how I need it to be.

Hi Andy, welcome to the forum!

Hi Steve, a warm welcome on this freezing cold day!

Congratulations Paul!

At this stage in my photographic game I can't afford a dedicated calibration kit, but I have done the Windows self calibraton test on my monitor. The result was that it wasn't far off the ideal settings. I also use a spare 20" HD tv; I ran the same self test program on that and made some adjustments. In theory, the two monitors running side by side should look pretty much the same; this is not the case. No matter how I try, or the adjustments I make, the colours on the two monitors look different.

Ah well, never mind; you have to take the rough with the smooth I suppose! Seriously though, congratulations! Good to see you getting the exposure your pictures deserve

I thought my Audio Technica headphones were good until my son bought me my Sennheiser set for a significant birthday, never used anything else since!

Congratulations Fuji!

Hello Thomas, a warm welcome to TIPF!

I'm in the same boat Mark, my current pc is very unreliable and slow. I plan to build my own computer. I've decided against a laptop because I want to be able to upgrade components as needed and money allows. This also gives me the chance to use as large a monitor as my wife will allow I can afford.

I have a Nikon D5100 and not too long ago I bought the 35mm f1.8; I love it. Nikon DX crop factor is 1.5 which gives this lens the 35mm equivalent of 52.5mm. It is small, light, pin sharp and relatively inexpensive. I plan on buying the 50mm f1.8 this year primarily because it is so cheap (it costs about the same as a tank of fuel for the van). Whichever one you choose you will not be disappointed.

Congratulations Kev, great shot!

Hi Mark, welcome from over the water in Morecambe!
