I dont have this lens... However generally for landscape work between f8 and f11 is perfect... as long as you dont need the extra DOF greater f numbers offer. If you are unsure about DOF or hyperfocal focusing... which I sugest you must be or you would not ask the question... then you should get...

Thanks for the link... but im with @ecoleman ... just looks a bit complicated for what im after!

You are maybe right less is more... however I think generally the stop diff is at least 3 stops. I appreciate what your saying about the modern age... it's just not me... I prefer to endevour to get it right in camera!

Yes I read that method and whilst it makes sense... you are right seems overly complex. When I'm out enjoying a lovely specticle of the sun setting and i've found a nice composition... a bit of me wants to keep it simple... drop in one filter and then just wait till I think the light is perfect...

For me photography is the skill of using your knowledge to the best of your abilities to capture the moment in time! ... Hence my username. It doesn't mater if the photo is technically perfect however in my book... if whatever technical issue does not detract from the end message the photograph...

A simple question... If i was going to buy a reverse grad filter for sunsets and sunrise work... Do you think i am best to get a 0.9 (3 stop) or a 1.2 (4 stop) filter? My gut tells me the 1.2 would be the right choice for intense sunsets where i struggle not too loose the detail completely...

Defo a shout for the second book from me! If you are coming up to Edinburgh just for a night... Then heading back via Glencoe... I take it you plan on staying a night in Fort William?

I just find 27” a bit big to be honest! Any 23-24” recomendations

Wow... thanks for your detailed response. For me whilst I think colour rendition and quality is important... im not selling or doing much printing ... so im after something that looks HD i guess similar to my mac! I wont pixel peep and 27” far to big... looking for something more 21” even rather...

I have a MacBook Pro... but looking for a 21-24" monitor to do photo editing on... surely any monitor will work with a PC or a Mac??? I recently moved from the iMac to the MacBook Pro.. my iMac was just about 8 years old and getting too slow... The MacBook Pro Screen is great... So im just...

Im in a similar situation to the OP... but I have a MacBook Pro... but looking for a 21-24" monitor to do photo editing on... surely any monitor will work with a PC or a Mac??? I recently moved from the iMac to the MacBook Pro.. and just think dual screening would be good also I'd also look for...

Yes boots looked out... Ive watched a few videos that others have posted from the island and it looks Kayos... really looking forward to it now... It's on Monday! ANY other tips from anybody!!! ???

What shutter speed is this image taken at? Im no expert just starting out too... but for a 3/4 shot like that u want to be at least 1/640 and f8 then auto ISO id start there anyway and then see how u go. I guess ur looking for a sharp car but a bit movement in the wheels. Centre focus point on...

Do u think I should take my 16-40mm then?

You clearly understand USM! [emoji106] could you very simply explain the use of the three sliders then?! I know i could find it on the net... but i find someone who uses and understands it usually more useful than a textbook answer
