I'm taking up photography again and was wondering what the general favourite software might be? Don't want to spend a fortune so has to be VFM Probably need a pen tablet too? Any recommendations?

OK, not the catchiest title, and a little self-indulgent, but after cleaning yesterday, thought as I walked back to my car just how lovely she looked and took a couple of not very artistic snaps. I do love the C55.

My photo licence was due for renewal next month. £20 Grrrrr. Bit of a dilemma on whether to do it early or last minute as I use it as photo ID for travelling by air domestically as well as needing it for car rentals. Decided on balance better to get it done sooner. Anyway it transpires that you...

I've been asked to locate a BMW E30 Cabriolet in grey or silver for a photo shoot in Ladbroke Grove. Ideally it will be a standard car with a leather interior. Condition is not the most important factor but the style & colour are crucial The car will be needed for a day. Date will be September...

The Ace Cafe Run completed a long weekend for petrolheads in Brighton. Starting at the Ace Cafe on the North Circular road in London the run ends up on Madeira Drive for a day-long party with live music, club displays and stalls. Mainly, though, it's about sitting in the sun and meeting old...

I apologize if this isn't the right area, but since this car isn't mine, I didn't want to put it in the albums forum. Borrowed the neighbor's C43 for a quick photoshoot. Boy this thing sure feels different from my C230K.

OK, so not the famous 'official' BMW cars of the '70s and '80s, but art cars nonetheless. And I guess in keeping with the BMW Olympic marketing exercise! In an arrangement with my son's school and the local BMW showroom, the arty pupils were selected and invited to participate in an event...

Our bird box had gone rather quiet these last few days, so went to have a look. 3 bundles of fluff waiting for their next meal. After I left the mother quickly returned :) Just thought I share in one of the simple pleasures in life.

Matching pets sunbathing. That is all. And you can see why I wouldn't need an E55 estate for that size hound.

Hey guys I'm looking at getting my wedding photos printed, so just wondering if there were any recommendations out there ? Interested in having a 'photobook' printed, but there are so many vendors. Trying Snapfish for the normal prints as they were having a good offer. Thanks Chris

Great weather and a huge turnout of spectators made the 2011 Veteran Car Run one of the best for a few years Jutta Benz, great-graddaughter of Carl Benz, crossed the Start Line in Hyde Park just before 7 am in a replica of the 1886 Benz Patent-Motorwagen. As a replica the car isn't eligible for...

The Vintage Sports Car Club puts on a damned good event and the end-of-season Sprint at Goodwood sees a good turnout of cars both in the paddock and the car park This year saw a huge turnout - the car parks were overflowing and the pits crammed with sports cars of all ages If you have any...

Just had a nice letter from DVLA reminding me that I need to renew the photo on my drivers licence if I want to carry on driving and that they want to charge me £20 for the privalidge.....what a con! They don't even need me to get my photo verified so I could give them any old photo!
