This is the second draft of my Basic Photography Guide which I have been writing bit-by-bit for over five years! It is intended as a possibly incomplete guide for beginners and those with some experience. All of the photographs on this page were taken using Canon or Praktica equipment. A larger version of each image is available by clicking within the frame. Although I am not a professional photographer, I have done quite a lot of photographic jobs for various people (weddings, portraits, portfoilio shots etc.) when time permits. If you live locally (in the South West of England, within 20 miles of Swindon) and need some photographs taken (any subject considered) at a reasonable cost, then it might be worth contacting me by email. Read my General Terms and Conditions. Please e-mail me with anything you would like to see here, any errors or omissions and comments. I am always pleased to hear from people who have found my guide useful (or not!), but please don't ask general questions about photography - I just don't have the time to answer them. Enjoy your photography! Click here to view Robert Slade's Basic Photography Guide This is a UK web-site.

Looking to Buy a Camera? Oh dear, another one of those banner ads! However, this one is here for a considered reason: I get a lot of questions from visitors to these pages and by far the most common question is, "Which camera should I buy?" I simply don't have the knowledge to advise about different brands of camera hardware, but I always pass on one piece of advice that it's much cheaper to buy a decent used camera. Some of the items on eBay are real bargains. Please take a minute to register with eBay. It's totally free, and gets my site promoted via the Affiliates Programme. Even if you're not actively looking to buy a camera, it has thousands of used photographic nik-naks at bargain prices. Just click on the banner below - thanks!:
