Exactly...!! Well said. We don't need to visit the spectacular or go on holiday to use our camera's.. Mundane things can bring just as good results...

Sorry bit of a personal rant..!!

Seems like it was the first one for a few of us.. Ive still got mine. Though havnt bought a film in 30 years...lol Think I've even got this brouchure around somewhere.. Glad Nigel has posted it though. Wouldn't want to try and find it....lol

A big thumbs up from me, on this one.

First point is . You cant purchase the best quality 27" monitors, new for £250 or less. So you will have to compromise on quality. Luckily these days most monitors return a good to exeptional quality about them.. And all in my opinion, better than laptop screens. Rather than one large screen. I prefer to use two smaller screens when photo editing. It's great to have the image on one screen and the tools on the other out of the way. It isn't much difference in cost either. Most days now, for the last 5 years. I have used the Asus PA238Q without a flicker of a problem. All are individually calibrated and individually tested and certified for photo editing. If these are too expensive you can use the PB system. Same monitor but only randomly tested. But frankly an ASUS HD gaming monitor is a very good quality monitor. Which brings your original thought of 27" into play..

It's a very individual choice and I wish you good luck with it...!!

Welcome aboard. Look forward to your postings. Im sure you can contribute greatly to the site...

Great thread.. Its nice to talk lighting for a change...

After metering for the ambient light and getting that correct. Why choose P-TTL for the flash exposure and not manual ?

Not a matter of dont want to.. Nigel But not able to.. I may need assistance on how to post 12 images into the same post on this site...

Super shots.. Fabulous memories... Admire them a lot.. You just gotta love number 1...!!

Nige... Hun, The attack wasnt a personal one..!! But what seems a brand owner one.. Type of photographs we are taking.. Still lives, landscapes. Holiday snaps done better..!! Like I say maybe i'm just the odd one out as I dont really find these over excting... There is technically nothing wrong with the images... Some very nice holiday's... Always wanted to go to Sydney personally...
