2015 Landscape Photographer of the Year Awards
Thanks all for thoughts and glad tidings on this... Chris... to answer your questions re the technical side of things re this... my thoughts when developing the raw file were to try to get it back to the jpeg that came out on the back of the K3 at the time... white balance, lighting, colours as was....

Frustrated with second hand sellers prices
Very hard to keep tabs on as others have said. As with the recent £130 on Amazon DA15 SMC thread some cheap new stuff never actually exists. I sold one for £300 on here a while back. I guess I'd ask less if I had one now although barmily remaining SMC ones deareer than HD ones. I bought a used DA...

Frustrated with second hand sellers prices
Everything I have is from Ebay (bar the K5 body) and I've only had two duff items: one from a guy who hadn't a clue and one from a crook. I got my money back in both cases. The fact that you CAN get inexpensive stuff doesn't mean everything is cheapo and the fact that some stuff is expensive doesn't...

Frustrated with second hand sellers prices
.... I simply don't understand why Ebay is derided to the extent that it is? .......... There are definitely some good buys to be had on Ebay, and the pricing is sometimes excellent - but can also reach a high level (there are members on here that have offered items for sale at a lower price on her...

Frustrated with second hand sellers prices
Ebay usage is quite simple: You know how much you like to pay. That's the amount you bid. If you get it, great! If not, wait for the next auction. If by any chance you win and get a dud, You get your money back and if you pay with PayPal, You also get your return postage refunded. I have b...

equipment insurance question
I used to have my gear insured with a specialist company here in the Netherlands. The policy was identical to that provided for television crews transporting gear around the world, and as such also covered gear being checked as hold luggage, which is pretty unusual. It required every item to be lis...

Recording your laptop screen for tutorials?
Cheers JR :wink: Should of made myself clearer, I'd like to record my mouse movements, my voice etc so as I say; get the grad tool then the viewer on play back can see how I used it and where I located it.

for those that wanted to see this
I've taken the liberty of quickly taking the photograph in the direction I would be thinking. As it is the babies face in focus I have kept it close to the centre, knocked the distracting background out of focus and done a few local adjustments. I'm not keen on the tone in the last shot nor the Mapl...

Street Photography Has No Clothes
As for the article seems like maybe you're not alone in your opinion, although the article did get nearly 6K Facebook likes! Which ironically if you read the article is one of the things he believes contributes significantly to the plethora of grim and grungy, but now accepted as the "norm", mainst...

Street Photography Has No Clothes
Reading the quote from johnx, I was reminded of a guy who used to advertise in Motorsport back in the late 50s. His business was restoring vintage cars (and I mean real pre-1930 vintage). His theme was that he knew how to restore cars and no-one else did. It seems to me that Mr Sweet does exactly...

Street Photography Has No Clothes
Hi Dan, Your post has really set the cat amongst the pigeons, I agree with a lot of what he says and what you´re saying, I just read the whole article, and I think truly great street photography is an undeniable art form. I don´t particularly like his work (I certainly wouldn´t pay for it), but ca...

Amazon Lightning Deals...Predatory Pricing?
Hi all, this is at least the third time they've had this offer on Amazon UK since Black Friday week. My son Adam ordered one and it comes in legit packaging for bundle with lens in photo on box too. Either there are huge numbers being dumped or they are not selling even at this price. As someon...

Amazon Lightning Deals...Predatory Pricing?
From Amazon's viewpoint, this has very little to do with profit margin. Any "special offer" is sold at the same price Amazon UK pay for it - the trick is that they buy it from Amazon Luxemburg. So, all the profit is made in Luxemburg where company taxes are lower than here. Everything else that Am...

Amazon Lightning Deals...Predatory Pricing?
Some of the Pro dealers do make large profits. I recently asked for a quote on my K3 fr4om SRS and they offered me only 210 GBP. At the same time they are selling a second hand one with almost 50% higher shutter count for 379 GBP... Now that´s more than a healthy profit margin.... You need to ...

Amazon Lightning Deals...Predatory Pricing?
SRS consistently offer some of the fairest part-exchange prices you'll find at any camera shop. Their profit has to build in factors such as a guarantee, potential repairs (I bet they received a few items with undisclosed faults), market changes (K3 prices will have been impacted by the K3II), they...

Amazon Lightning Deals...Predatory Pricing?
In the past few years i've bought new photographic gear from SRS, Park Cameras and WEX and been very happy with the service and prices from each...and there are other Independents which I might have bought from but they were out of stock or the price was slightly higher than another Independent I wa...

Wedding Photography - Eeeek!
I've done a handful of weddings for friends gratis over the last couple of years with my old, now passed back to my Dad, K20. I used the same 50mm you list above and would've preferred something longer, although you cover it with the 18-135. Best advice I can give? Don't be afraid to be bossy. The c...
