Fantastic, so long as I get to ask lots and lots of questions!

How about posting a pic and getting feedback on how you could have improved it?

Looking through our recent holiday pictures the obvious thing is to give the wife the camera.

I don't mind answering questions so long as they are not all "Which camera should I buy?"

The problem is that I've been out of retail for 15 years or so now and the in and outs of different models of cameras are pretty irrelevant these days. Most of them are pretty good.

I suggest we set up a sticky thread directing people to the more specialist photo web sites for that kind of info.

I know a fair bit about the science and techniques of photography, as do many others on this forum, and I'm quite happy to answer questions on that kind of stuff though.

I was a scientific imaging specialist (applied photographer) for the MoD for 10 years and would really enjoy trying to get to grips with any technical questions anyone might have – geeky I know, but I enjoy it

That sounds like a great idea. I was asked to take some photos of a school roof today, to go with their application for solar panels, and I tried it on full manual, and did what Hedgepig suggested in the other thread, playing around with aperture and shutter speed, and got some very pleasing results.

I'll be seeing the Mad one tomorrow, so I'll compare notes with him
