I'd always assumed those big monster lenses you see in packs at big sporting events, stuck onto EOS 1Vs or whatever, were really all big apertures for light gathering purposes to get the shutter speed needed for those actions situations, or in the case of paparazzi to get steady enough shots from lo...

Anybody used these field monitors? Will it work?
I am currently thinking of purchasing a field monitor such as Lilliput FA1013-NP/H/Y - 10" HDMI monitor http://www.lilliputdirect.com/hdmi/10-inch-hdmi/lilliput-fa1013 Using the correct HDMI cable will I be able to use this type of unit for enhanced live view and instant review of captured imag...

I happen to have a different HDMI monitor but the process is much the same I think - once you plug it in your back LCD goes dark and the monitor shows the info that would usually be shown there. Just think of it as an external screen, so you can use it for liveview, review etc.

Given both photoshop and lightroom are adobe products, they are both often capable of the same things. Photoshop handles layers which in my mind is probably the biggest difference between the two, but fundamentally they are similar, but each focussed around different tasks. Lightroom is intended...

What do these things cost these days? Historically the full photoshop has cost a lot unless you were a student. Lightroom is usually quite a bit cheaper, and is now offered as a fairly cheap monthly subscription from memory. I've never bothered with the elements versions, typically having been fr...

Thanks allI should add that the Photoshop I have at present is Elements 8 which was free with some other software It is Elements 8 that I use for 1% (or less of the time). From time to time, there are things that I do struggle with, which Photoshop CC would do better in particular ........ * Mos...

Hi All My digital photo experience has for a long time been limited to a Lumix set mostly on auto and tweaking the jpegs with Picasa. I have just bought a K50 as I miss slr and applying long-forgotten manual controls; so far so good. Everything I read says Photoshop is the go-to software but the fi...

I'm a late adopter of Lightroom, having used Photoshop since 1992. For Processing (not editing) a large number of images LR is in another league - much much faster. I'm still getting my head around the cataloging, still mislaying stuff or finding myself working inside an odd collection, but that's...

I find Photoshop totally bewildering with its multiple parameters, layers and masks and heaven knows what. I used it, grudgingly, because it was all I had. Then I found FastStone and now I rarely use anything else - mainly because everything is comprehensible and intuitive. I found similar problems...

I have trialled any number of different programs and I keep coming back to ACDSee Pro ( now version eight ). It is very straightforward and there is no importing or exporting to worry about. It has the same interface for JPEG as for RAW and does most of what Light Room does. I use this in conjunc...

To start with, it's not a true Photograph anyway, it's a Digital Image! It really depends upon whether you want to end up with a true "Record shot", or a more satisfying final "Image"! This debate has been rattling around Photography Clubs for years, dating back to the days when printers manipulat...

I do agree with you there to a point ... I would never do certain things, like swap a sky from one shot into another one, or add people in, that kind of thing ... But I do take multiple exposures of the same scene in order to use HDR or exposure blending, but that is with the aim of increasing reali...

We have this sort of discussion often at my local photo club. At one end we have those that insist the image should be a true representation of what was in front of the camera at the time the shot was taken, making a record of something, and at the other end are those that see photography as just p...

Should I stay or go
Never owned a Canon but I switched to Nikon and then came back again. The lesson I learned was the grass is not greener and whole thing was very expensive! This time around I have invested in far better but less lenses and am enjoying my Pentax more than ever.

Should I stay or go
Not sure I follow your logic here. You say you love your K500 so why consider changing it? You have already identified the real issue - the 55-300 - which in my experience is not a great lens for wildlife - too slow to focus and hates anything but bright sunshine (yes I know some will disagree -...

Ergonomics enigma...
Is there anybody out there who, like me, is left eye dominant? Do you have a problem, while using the viewfinder, of being able to reach the AFbutton or thr 4-way navigation buttons to change the point of focus etc. etc... If you do find this to be a problem, have you found a way round it? Got me be...

Get well soon, Eddie. You can take pictures with one hand, to begin with... not as debilitating as your maladies I know, but I broke my left elbow and then my right hand a couple of years back but, using Pentax and Ricoh compacts (sometimes upside down!) I carried on shooting.

Thinking of you Eddie, and Mrs Eddie too. Keep fighting and you will be back snapping before you know it. If you have to consider something like a Q, or other system camera, which is smaller and lighter.

Strokes take time to get over Eddie, and time, as they say, is a great healer. My ex mother-in-law had a massive grade 5 stroke whilst in Portugal in 2001, she spent 8 weeks over there, was the flown back, she didn't know who anyone was, was totally blind, couldn't do anything for herself, after...

Best Wishes from me as well Eddie.... You should be able to take photos OK with an electronic remote such as one of the Yongnuo's they have focus and shutter release with half and full press just like the camera and show red and green leds to indicate which one. --
