I took my grip to bits when I first ordered it and taped all the connections and cables up inside, there aren't many.
Certainly nothing to short out in there.

This shot was a crop, originally landscape but preferred the portrait look so cropped it literally top to bottom.
Shot in Av mode ISO 1600 to compensate the slow aperture but still only around 1/250 shutter speed.
Unpaid shoots hmmm all my shoots are unpaid lol, except for my club work and wedding work, I make cash through licensing the gig images, the joys of being a freelance. Have hit a bit of a creative block recently so going to do some fashion work in e next few weeks and give the gig work a break this month. Think the summer festivals this year has been long and wet and a little draining creatively. Will hopefully find my spark again next month

Really pleased with it, might need a little AF adjustment but really love the af speed of the teleconverter.

If you have a dual hard drive set up then its usually best to pit your cache on the spare drive and increase it to around 50 gigs instead of the the default 10gigs. This speeds up LR considerably.

Betamax / beta cord sold more machine domestically but the rental market was bigger hence its downfall...

Mainly driving VAG cars and the build quality between VW and Skoda is amazing, the finish is massively cheaper in the Skoda than VW cars, much like the difference between VW and Audi...
