It is not something I have experienced with these so far.

I have heard of this sort of thing but mostly it was caused by the trigger.

Hi Jayne,

The Yongnuo 560 is an inexpensive manual flashgun. They cost about £50 from all over the place on the web just type it into Google.

It is fully manual but that is a good thing as it will give consistency when you use. I use mine with wireless triggers that cost another £100 then you need some sort of umbrella/softbox to shape/soften the light.

If you look at my portfolio there is a picture of a bride and groom with a blue surround which was taken with one of these and a silver umbrella.

Best regards,

Martin

Hi Ferret.

I have just dropped all my Canon full frame cameras and lenses. The 50-135 2.8 is a great lens that works perfectly at 2.8 and is sharp. Focus isn't as fast as a Canon but not by a huge amount. Can't say anything about the 60-250 as I don't have it.

I would rather have two lenses than the 60-250, I hear the 300 f4 is a gem of a lens.

Regards,

Martin

That is one impressive building. No 7 with the pillars and the light direction just asks to be photographed.

Welcome Dannickace you certainly live in the place for wildlife and nature.

Tip top colourful photographs Andrew.

You see I haven't mentioned anything about your photography at all. I think your being sensitive, I am sad you cannot see the help I am offering you so as I said before you know best. I will not be posting on this topic again.

Shaun, I say this not to do anything other than to help you.

I promise if you put that picture of the two boys with the spot colouring in front of a panel of pro wedding photographers the first comment would be "oh no spot colouring". If you showed them the sepia one with spot colour....well.

Forums like this always try an be nice BUT that is doing an injustice to you in creating a business.

I do not want to come over as arrogant as I am truly not like that at all but I see you doing so much wrong.

I have looked at your website and it needs help. The spelling and grammar is pretty bad.

So if you would like some help from creating a better website (get rid of foliopic), improving your on line presence and your SEO. Then get in touch. You will actually find me very helpful, friendly and useful.

Excellent number 2 for me.

Hi Jasper,

It is what I was talking about. Couples book on what they see. When I meet couples I explain what happens on the day and what I expect from them. I don't dictate, I ask and explain. So they already know what I want from them on the wedding day. At the pre-wedding photography consultation a month before I go over the whole day with them again and arrange times to photograph them alone one to one with no one there. I try to get in two 20 minute sessions. If they do not want to or can't due to timings I push them them to have the one to one before sunset. I sell it on what they have seen and liked from my website and the fact it would be nice for them to have time alone together. Sometimes we start and they are having fun and the session can run into 30 to 50 minutes or over an hour as they are enjoying it. They know, if they want pictures like the ones on my website then they have to be there for me to take them.

I do not force them on the day to do anything but because we have discussed it when I say lets go it is very very unusual for anyone to say no. Again only one person has because they had drunk too much.

Your right clients have no real idea of what they want, they leave it to me to apply what they have seen. I find the light, put them at the right location and then get the shot. I like to leave on a high with a few wow type shots.
