Commercial shoot in Doha
It must be time to draw a line under this and go back to the purpose of the thread - the images posted. They are rather good, so let's not detract from them.

Commercial shoot in Doha
They're proficient shots, Jon. I want to see the complex after the landscaping has been completed... it doesn't look complete yet does it? Perhaps they will ask you to go back. Good shots but leaves me wanting moire. Sorry - MORE....Arghhhh :wink:

Don't photograph crime ...
Very sorry to hear that. I second writing to the MP, and talking to the local media. Several weeks ago a colleague at work was threatened with violence of the worse kind (come at home kill people), all verbal, but my colleague was pretty shaken. This happened a couple more times and on the third ...

Don't photograph crime ...
There is no reason for the police to want/need the camera (or in this case, phone) - when gathering CCTV evidence from stores etc they don't rip the system out, do they? A copy of the incident on CD or other media is usually enough, sometimes a statement from the operator is taken as well just t...

Don't photograph crime ...
Burn them to a CD and give them the CD, offer a witness statement to back up the images. Or does the image back up the witness statement? It's what happens in shops as per above posts. If they ask for the phone, let them get a court order. Would selling the photos compromise a possible prosecu...

LED lighting for portraits etc
Hi All Does anyone have experience of the LED portable lights that seem to be ever cheaper now? I'm looking at 160 led model that claims 1480 lumens at 1 metre. Is there any relation between the lumen power and the type of guide numbers we understand with manual flash guns? I feel I should k...

HOOCAPS... (Yes - that's what I thought too!!)
I'm just trying to recall which camera actually had this mechanism permanently fitted as standard? I seem to remember an SLR lens with a compact-camera-style built in lens cover, plus leaves that opened to form a small lens hood. It might be going back a bit, but I've had a lot of classic stuff p...

sigma 24-50 f4-5.6
As well as the 24-70mm F2.8 there is also a Sigma 24-70 F3.5-5.6 auto focus lens. I got one attached to a *ist film body on ebay, I've only ever used it once and found it to be very ordinary, results weren't nearly as nice as the Pentax F 24-50mm F4 lens produces.

what is this???
Looks to me it is a macro rail. used with a tripod to move the camera in very small amounts to achieve focus. Regards Jeff

what is this???
They must be breeding! I 'found' one the week before last, at a car boot. Very useful for macro fine focus and composition. A good find.

what is this???
And i thought that it is a panoramic head. But why should panoramic head have a side to side adjustment. Thanks helps guys. it's not a pano head. pano heads have side to side and front or back adjustments so you can calibrate for zero parallax errors. The lens must rotate around it's entrance ...

tablets
Just invested in a Tesco Hudl for Margaret. When I say invested, we used out clubcard vouchers as they had a double up offer on the tablet. Should pick it up tomorrow, so I'll report back

tablets
Do any of these tablets allow tethering to a K5 or the K3? I'm often in need of instant feedback from clients and peeping at the back of the camera unprofessional at best :roll:

What happens at a camera club?
I went to the local camera club twice it was two of the most boring evening's I have spent. It took a few weeks for me to get to know what was going on and who was who at my local club. I've got some good friends and contacts and lots if good advice there, I'm looking on forward to getting stuck ...

What happens at a camera club?
I went to a meeting at my local club. The speaker had cried off (didn't matter to me as I didn't know there was one booked) and the chairman had hastily pulled together a selection of his images for people to critique/question - at least it meant something was going on. What put me off ever going...

Silverstone
Thanks for your comments, all. Looks as though it's back to Luffield then! I may try my 1.4 teleconverter on the 300 as well, and see how that goes, but I'll probably need to manually pre-focus with that combination. And as usual, another nice panning shot from you Simon. I think my panning sh...

Silverstone
Hi Percy, have to agree that Luffield is probably best for the BTCC. Copse is ok for the start photo with all the cars heading towards you but this will need cropping with a 300. The main problem at Silverstone is the high fencing and clear shots generally only being from the stands if you don't ha...
