Printing Options
My worry regards sending prints to a print company is, what am I sending? Sometimes I've had an image look quite good in photoshop, saved it full size and also as a pdi, and got some decent feed back on the forum ( I know they are compressed etc) but when I print the same image out it's either too...

First 'model' shoot
Hey guys, I completed the shoot, and it was a very interesting experience! Here's the results: https://m.flickr.com/#/photos/tobinobin/sets/72157649021919997/ Problems that I encountered: I used my 50mm 1.8 and 35mm 2.4 wide open which meant not everything was perfectly in focus. Low light was al...

One also has to remember how much most flash units break down, and how fast they do so. I have many lenses still in use far before autofocus was available; some of the manual focus PK's. Most lenses last an incredibly long time in cared for properly, and can even be easily repaired. I rarely have...

I'm just waiting for the flak !! -or not!!!
Back in the mid 1980's as a teenager armed with an ME SUper who used local Boots or Max Speilman or WHSMith processing and printing services I ventured into Liverpool to shoot a load of architectural pictures in black and white. I still remember getting my pictures back and being horribly disappoin...

I'm just waiting for the flak !! -or not!!!
Well well here it is again like a 'cliché' there is a reason this query exists. Clichéd images exist as they are often appealing and for some they sell well. To many of us pp work is essential particularly if you take the image as a start point such as exposing for the highlights then opening up ...

Hi John. Yes, the second link does make for uncomfortable reading. The first might do as well depending on your perspective. Did you read the original article that this fellows arguments are expanded from and the posts that accompany it. If there is something wrong with today's view of photograp...

travel back packs
I use a sling shoulder lowerpro for my K5 and two lenses for when i travel, but I am finding the need to travel with another lens plus extra equipment and especially when travelling on a plane I find it would be handy to have a back pack with extra room for another lens and extra non photographic tr...

I have one of these which is superb and sounds like it might fit the bill. Depends on the lenses and how much extra equipment you're talking about. This may well not be the nest price for it: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Kata-DR-465-DPS-Backpack-Compartments/dp/B0013HBY6S/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=14...

I have a kata one very much like that one, might be same one, and it does have a nice large upper part for non camera stuff - sarnies, folded/ rolled up rain mac etc

I had a look at kata, very nice but getting a bit expensive when looking at back packs with a bit more space. Even so more economical than manfrotto bumblebee

Good DSLR backpacks are pricey, many ridiculously so. The Kata is the best I've tried. BTW it comes with a rain-cover.

I recently read review of an F-Stop rucksack. It (or most other F-stop bags) sounds to be what you are looking for. I use either my Tamrac Expedition 5, when taking a lot of gear, or a Tenba removable insert in my carry-on bag. But then I tend to check a bag with clothes etc always.

Travel Tripods Recommendations
Back in the spring of this year I was also looking for a good quality travel tripod and in end bought a Red Snapper. I am very pleased with it. I thought it was comparable to the BeFree, at a more reasonable price and definitely has a hook! I was looking for something fairly lightweight that I c...

Thank you for the information on that one... Unfortunately I have yet to make that discovery; unless perhaps... You might be willing to pass along a shameless plug for some of the airlines names. I (fortunate or not??) spend at least a full month traveling throughout the Americas. This year th...

Any suggestions for a laptop?
Most laptops are the same the biggest difference is the support. My dealings with Samsung have been very poor and that was with a £1500 samsung laptop. Toshiba wanted me to return my laptop in new packaging, couldn't use the original box, at my own expense to replace a faulty space bar, Dell s...

Any suggestions for a laptop?
I love my macbook. I was so anti apple for so long and resistant to the whole apple thing. I had to contact apple at the weekend with a small problem I had with Yosemite. I logged a call online they called me back within a minute and problem was solved within 15 mins. It's so easy to look at t...

Best air blower for camera?
It's always a good idea to change lenses in as dust free environment as practicable, and keep the camera pointing downwards (or at least not upwards!). I also keep the lens mount end pointing down until I actually put them together. I change lenses pretty frequently and have very rarely had a dust p...
