Ok Bullet bit..with the discount code FLICKRPRO30 I just got a year for £28 so will postpone all my decisions re Flickr to 12 months from now.. by that time the Smugmug business model will have taken shape and I can make an informed decision

Maybe not just a theory.. sounds quite plausible to me...

I will be very wary as electronic devices can include DSLRs and I would never trust mine to the vagaries of the baggage handling staff.. means avoiding certain parts of the world I guess. If I did then I would need cover from a bespoke camera gear insurer to get even close to relaxing

I love it... I want it! well jel LOL

I would love a Canon 70-200 or even a 5d mkIII but chances are slim.. mind you I love my 6D and I have a few L lenses so I should stop lusting and start shooting!

Had loads of these moments and even bought a replacement on next day from amazon only to find whatever it is as soon as it arrives.. too much gear and not organised is the cause.. am I likely to change? err... no LOL

I really enjoyed the series but wish there had more technical stuff. Don't get me wrong the photography was stunning but I guess I want it all LOL

Absolutely! I agree 100%. This is always happens to me and so, as well as having a good pro DSLR, I also have a canon EOS M3 mirrorless which is easier to carry and fetch out at such times.. I don't want to fall into that "Oh I will just use my iPhone" trap

Aperture and shutter priority are the first step away from full auto and they are a big step as in understanding them, you are then able to plan a shot properly

Any book on understanding exposure is a valuable read and reference

I always find I am high on enthusiasm but not matching that with talent.. yes I know, it's called a learning curve. Despite having a FF professional camera and some stonking lenses, my results so often disappoint me but that is what makes me strive even harder. I think my point is that any...

I can second that... I think that the Creative Cloud package is excellent and a necessary annual expense.. All the new improvements to both programs are instantly available and when the renewal comes round I usually find a good deal with a prepaid card for the years subs on eBay and save a few...

My preference is for the Canon 17-40L .. very versatile great results and can be had now for a good price

If you are working with a cracked version you are only fooling yourself as it will be limited and out of date very quickly.. The latest, very useful, developments to PS CC are making it a much more useful piece of software IMHO

This is great as now I can take the iPad on my holiday cruise this year and do some preliminary raw edits before backing them up onto the mypassport wireless drive.... Result!
