    Eos 6d Owners Thread!

    I am hugely impressed with my 6D and it's perfect for my needs I've only scratched the surface of what's its capable of but after only a few uses I feel my images are far better than ever before I also find Canon more intuitive to use compared to my previous Nikon and shooting in LV is an...

    Should I work for free?????

    Depends what you want out of photography though I gave my first print away for free when a friend asked if he could buy it off me for his lounge wall, I've since sold a couple but only have covered my costs in the price and not taken any profit I don't do it for money, I do it to produce...

    HDEW CAMERAS anyone used them?

    My camera came on time Bit miffed they sent a bigger kit lens box with the camera in instead of just the camera box so they could stuff the other parts of my order in it but hey ho that's why it was £150 cheaper than a UK bought one

    Canon 6D or Nixon D750?

    I had the same dilemma and went with the 6D, a decision based largely on lens choice for each camera and price for the landscape photography I do The Nikon 14-24 is an awesome lens but - it's too expensive for me - my expensive set of Lee filters are utterly useless with it - buying more...

    Taking Panoramic Images

    Using a level tripod and levelling your camera will consistently give good results and is far more precise than handheld for panoramas in my experience, you might get a decent shot handheld with practice but I wouldn't recommend it

    Taking Panoramic Images

    I only overlap 20-25% and normally go left to right but it's fine going the opposite way The most important thing is to have your camera and tripod absolutely level for optimum results

    HDEW CAMERAS anyone used them?

    Ordered a new camera and grip from them on Tuesday, couple of emails received acknowledging the order and saying its processing but no info on expected delivery date which would be nice I've ordered stuff from DigitalRev in the past without issue albeit the delivery times were a couple of weeks...

    Graduated filters or exposure blending?

    I always like to get the most right 'in camera' so mainly use filters That said I've also blended images in PS to good effect as well I wouldn't use cheap filters though so going this route is more expense but to me is preferred.

    Redcar Beacon

    I like your composition, one of the nicest for what I think is an ugly monstrosity !! I'd lift the shadow detail and up the contrast slightly if it was my shot

    Nikon D7100 Pricing???

    Don't see why anyone has a problem with the cashback Visa card system that Nikon do? Surely you just buy your food shopping or petrol with it and pocket the money you would of spent?? Don't get what the issue is??
