My first proper play with new camera... took a big step and put it in manual!

Just use 'P' for professional.

My pride and joy 60yrs young today,

Was it broken down again.

Was it broken down again.

Not at this point but I did get a puncture about 5 miles up the road

Was out on a club run Sunday though and managed not to break down

Can anyone recommend a lightweight tripod thats fairly stable but less than 1 kg? Want something to take in the hills that wont weigh me down.

[steef]

I've one of these, 1.2kg comes with a bag, It's been perfectly decent.

Advice required. I'm looking to buy some UV and polarizing filters and there are some that are about £16 and others at near £80, is it worth buying the expensive ones?

Depends a bit on what you are photographing.

Polarizer, go for something like a Hoya circular if your just an amateur but keen photographer, reasonable price and good quality.

UV filters are useful if, 1) you have an expensive lens* front end to protect and 2) If you do a lot of landscape type of work.

* if you have an expensive lens you have invested in quality glass and then you stick cheap glass in front?
