Reducing my kit so my domke 220 trolley case is surplus to requirements.

Used only three times holds a 17" laptop in the side and comes with tripod bag
£120










Sigma TS-21 tripod mount fits sigma 100-300mm f/4 and the 70-200mm 2.8 I believe.

Selling as I dropped my 100-300mm and it's beyond economical repair. These are over £80 in SRS so looking for £45 inc post

They had just repaired the af for me which. Meant replacing lots of parts which they had along with some of the casing. Price for drops is £51.99 an hour with no promise of time or parts so it's just sat there now grrrr

Ouch I feel your pain I dropped my sigma 100-300mm f4 and chipped the front element and smashed the second element grrrr.

Alan Marlowe I can recommend and asahi photo although they can be a bit bit and miss on the parts.

To be honest most modern computer can run photoshop and similar editing prigrams without much issue. If your work is dependant on editing lots of images then get the fastest you can afford. For hobby use an i5 processor is fine and instead concentrate on the peripherals, better mouse / trackpad better monitor 24" IPS should be a minimum. These will make more difference to your editing than the fastest all singing pc.

I used to have an i7 16gb ssd laptop and moved to an i5 8gig mac. When editing my club stuff usually 500 images the difference in time is around 10 mins and most of this time is on the export part. So don't worry about pc speed unless absolutely necessary.

This

search services, personalized content and branded programming through Yahoo’s network of properties

Similar terms to Facebook. As has been pointed out already this has more to do with being able for the service to work rather than any potential commercial exploitation.

Let's say your image gets chosen for the front page of flickr. Without this clause this wouldn't be possible. Neither would your image appear in yahoo search engine results.

And as I always point out people and property in photos cannot be exploited for commercial purposes without a model or property release.

No interest at all???

These where taken with me on top of a wobbly step ladder in a huge crowd

No experience at all with astrophotography sorry

Testing the water a little.

Up for sale is my tamron 400mm f/4 with Tamron 2x tele and lowepro bag.

The lens was recently repaired and serviced by Alan Marlowe at a cost of £150 the aperture blades had become disconnected from the aperture lever.

The paint was not so good so I part covered it in carbon fibre affect vinyl.

Images below are with the 2x tele attached showing how sharp this lens is.

Unfortunately I don't have a KA adaptor but these are available on ebay.

As I said I am just testing the water for now £650 plus £25 RMSD payment via BACS

As a festival photographer I can't tell you what to charge as every job is different but earning £35,000 pa from photography is going to be a very very big ask. I can however give you some tips.

1 you have far to many similars which you have spent an age editing by the looks of it so cull cull cull. A pro knows the good shots from the mediocre and picks accordingly.

2 You are cropping free hand a lot by the looks of it. You need to crop to original format otherwise printing or viewing on phones and tablets reduces the impact. Printing becomes very difficult and I sellable.

3 photographing people backs and heads is just a no no and has very little commercial aspect to it.

4 don't photograph people in embarrassing situations the photo of the two ladies about to kiss is an example of this.

5 interacting with the audience will make for better photos and better sales opportunities. I know this wasn't in the brief but business is business and these kind of shots do wonders for your Facebook pages with likes and shares.

6 stage shots be carful with mics in the shots, hands and arms chopped off and try to keep the whole guitar in, lots of yours have the guitar heads chopped off.

7 mixing black and white within colour galleries looks amateurish, create two galleries one in colour and one in black and white.

Hope this helps. I spent the last 7 years photographing festivals and realised there is absolutely none or very little money in it so went to university did a business management degree and now work in comms and marketing. I now shoot festivals I would have to gone to as a punter. I still enjoy it, but it's not a good business venture.
