Dungeness  Although I regularly shoot my own personal projects, it's not often that I get the chance to just go out with the camera and shoot whatever I come across. So when I had a free day, and my good friend and photographer Kevin Clow suggested we have a day out photographing, I decided a change would do me good. But where to go? Various destinations were considered before Kevin suggested Dungeness. Now I have seen many photographs of Dungeness, (in fact if you follow English photography, you probably can't not have seen pictures of the place!) but I had never been. So it was settled and off we went. For those wondering, Dungeness is on the South-East coast about mid way between Hastings and Dover. Getting there is quite easy as you just go through Beyond to the Back, and it's about 5 miles further on! It is apparently one of the largest areas of shingle in Europe and is quite impressive in it's... er... nothingness! Standing on the beach facing the s

From Camera to Computer In digital photography before you can do anything with those hard gained photographs you’ve taken, you have to transfer them onto a computer. Whilst this can be done using the camera, it quickly becomes apparent that this is far from ideal. Far easier is to remove the memory card from the camera and should it have a suitable slot, putting straight into the computer. However not all computers have card slots, which is where a card reader comes in. Usually plugging into a USB port, they will accept the common SD and CF cards, and many will also accept a raft of older and less common cards. SD vs CF Cards As mentioned SD, CF, or a combination of both are what are usually found in modern cameras. My cameras use CF cards which is my personal preference anyway. CF have higher practical and theoretical transfer speeds but this is generally negated by other factors. Unless you have a very high spec computer, hard drive, etc you are unlikely to get close to the
