Ive got quite a few Hi-Tech filters (hard and soft grad plus general ND one) plus a 10 stop. No issues with a colour cast on the grads but there is a slight cast on the 10 stop. Overall, good filters and a good compromise on price. Having said all that, i'm going to sell mine I think. I...

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Hi Guys, hope you are all well and, happy new year. I'm about to embark on some Macro photography (owing to a friend lending me the 100mm f2.8 L with MR-14EX flash. Now, I have a 5D Mark II camera body and...

Hi Guys, hope you are all well and, happy new year. I'm about to embark on some Macro photography (owing to a friend lending me the 100mm f2.8 L with MR-14EX flash. Now, I have a 5D Mark II camera body and a 430 EX ii flash at home. My main concern with the MR-14EX flash is that the...

Hi Guys. I've been on a few trips recently. I have a Lowepro backpack. It doesn't have a tripod holder but i usually just slide my current tripod in (a Giottos Carbon Fibre tripod) sideways which can be lethal when walking down the street. I'm off to NYC next year and want to get a new bag...

Thanks. I never said I thought that photo looked natural, hence the email. To ask the forums opinion as to how to achieve a natural look. I Agee though

I think you're probably right. Maybe I get so focussed on producing a picture with a full tonal range that I forget what we would actually see in the real worls. There is perhaps a conflict in people wanting to see the perfect curve on the histogram and not realising that at a sunset there will...

Thanks. When you say get things right in camera, what exactly do you mean? I usually bracket the photos (3 shots, +2 and -2). Then I sit down pic the best one for the foreground, best one for Sky, tweak the exposure as I need to so they are not miles apart (which I think makes then look odd)...

Hi All, The subject heading says it all but I would love to be able to get a natural looking picture whilst blending exposures but so far I don't think i've been able to do it. Ive tried HDR (which always gives a certain feel). Blending exposures by overlaying pictures and painting away...

Hi Guys. I usually take landscapes but i am toying with the idea of investing in a macro lens and trying some up close work (in part owing to the weather we have been having recently). I just wanted to get your views on which lens I should be going for? I would spend upto £550-600 on the...

Unless you have fantastic natural ability, like most things in life, you get what you put in. I'd love to go pro, start a photography business etc etc but to do that you need to make time and have commitement. For me, having a full time job and a wife (yip, she is considerate but there is...

Well, glad it was enjoyed by some of you. I wonder how many hours of photoshop practice youd have to have had before you had a skill set to allow you to undertake work like that?

Well, Im sure someone will have posted this somewhere on here but I was browsing Youtube and ran into this. Wowsers, now thats Photoshop skill!! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=53m0syaPg9A&feature=player_embedded

OK, cool, thanks. Anyone know how I mao them out with Elements 9?

I bought it from MPB so will still technically be under warranty. Im unsure if I need to do anything if the dead pixels autocorrect etc

well its a Sandisk and I bought it from Jessops so i'm sure it is.
