My first Fashion Shoot – what a disaster!
Cheat the lower paid and line the nest of the 'Fat Cats' Government has always the same during my lifetime, no matter what colour tie they wear. Back on track and I'm sorry to hear of your day Smutje, sounds frustrating but about par for the course these days. Chalk it down to experience but don...

My first Fashion Shoot – what a disaster!
Many thanks for all your kind reply. Today is a new day but I feel like s*** (both, self inflicted with the ‘something stronger’ and I think I catched something yesterday as I was not dressed for the outside, and as it was windy and cold with heavy rain from time to time I think that did it), but I ...

Wacom Bamboo
Personally, I have a G13 setup for keyboard shortcuts and the bamboo on the other side of the keyboard. I don't need to think, I can use ctrl-shift-S or r or o or whatever assigned to a key I think makes sense on the G13 and then I can manipulate with the right hand. I recently lost most of the ...

Recommend an alternative to Photoshp Elements
I use PE6, but due to a pc malfunction I can't now use the program. I contacted the Adobe helpline who've basically said it's not their problem and I should buy a new version of PE - PE9 I'm incandescent with the customer service from Adobe and reluctant to buy from them again. I was wonder...

Curious- what compact do you use?
Ricoh GR-Digital Lovely IQ, great control layout, hotshoe, fantastic optical finder (if rather an expensive option - worth it though), RAW shooting (albeit very s-l-o-w), fits in my jeans pocket and goes with me everywhere. It's a fixed 28mm (equiv) lens so I appreciate it doesn't suit everyon...

Curious- what compact do you use?
None - I replaced a Powershot G with Panasonic GF1 and 20/1.7 pancake lens. Delighted and would not go back to tiny sensor again. I love the control over depth of field with larger sensor. And with a cheap adapter I am able to use old MF Pentax primes with ease. It's clearly not as portable as a ...

Curious- what compact do you use?
Nikon 35Ti. It's film, but has a nice titanium body, a sharp 35mm lens and stunning analogue dials on top. That camera has been to hell and back with me and still works beautifully.

Curious- what compact do you use?
A P70. An interesting question - when is a Leica lens not a Leica lens :?: I believe that Panasonic uses Leica designed lenses, rather than Leica made lenses. My Panasonic bridge camera is nothing to shout about in the IQ department, a long way behind the X70 - a camera that does not claim ...

Nikon 35Ti. It's film, but has a nice titanium body, a sharp 35mm lens and stunning analogue dials on top. That camera has been to hell and back with me and still works beautifully. Wow, I'll second that. I had one for many years and took it everywhere, home and abroad. A lovely camera which never l...

Curious- what compact do you use?
For compact/pocket use I have two cameras. #1 an old Sony Cybershot P10 (5MP) with some nice manual controls, 3X zoom, 1" screen :roll:, opt. vfdr., flash, + movie clips, etc. This has seen a lot of location use, has amazing IQ, and is also small enough to take to places where one has to be disc...

help required
right now it is down to shadows, lighting and placement.... the face is too bright compared to the subject... your cut out needs a little work to straighten out the edges and smooth the curves. you need second layer (preferably a shot of an actual porcelain mask) to layer under the edges of the ...

Protecting your pictures online (Flickr etc)
OK, this may be a strange question but I seen several pictures by now on Flickr that you can look at but you can not download then at all (well you could take a Print Screen shot and crop etc) but in general how do you do this? I looked everywhere and I can not find a way of stopping people to view...

Automated Back-up for PC
Hi All, I've been recently sorting out my photo storare and back-up options, now storing all my photos and LR3 catalogue on a Western Dig 2TB, with another of the same for back-up as well as an older external device which I keep off site. In trying to simplify the process I've been thinking of...

Automated Back-up for PC
In trying to simplify the process I've been thinking of using some software to try to automate the process and keep things backed up in real time. Does anyone have any recommendations? Free software is good :D, although happy to pay a for something that works really well! I note you use the ...

Automated Back-up for PC
Some useful utilities for Windows that I use all the time: * Scooter Software's Beyond Compare * GRBackPro (for scheduled ZIP-by-directory) There are plenty of others though, and it really does depend on what you want to do. I use Beyond Compare to synchronise 2 working drives and two ba...

Automated Back-up for PC
I note you use the phrase Real Time, be aware that that really implies RAID or Mirroring of some type, generally a H/W method so fairly complex, and not free. And for that I still use Norton G.H.O.S.T (staying with it against many comers esp over recent years), for many reasons other that loyalty...
