Hi, I have offered to take some photos at a local christmas/ santa meet and greet event where my wife works. The photos are only as a record for the families, it's not paid and being done as a favour and basically their only other alternative is someone with an Ipad. But still I want to do my...

Thinking of upgrading my canon 70-200 4L and looking views on the tamron, preferably in comparison. I use the canon lens on my canon RP and occasionally with a kenko 1.4 tele converter for sport with no issues. Focus is spot on with/without tc and images sharp wide open. From the specs the...

+1 Although i only rarely print, i edit on a calibrated monitor as if all images were to be printed. Sometimes i will share images on Social media, but i don't change anything. When viewed on a mobile device and compared to others they don't have the wow effect, but i don't really care. Usually...

Love this type of shot, leaves you wondering what he's been at and why so tired. Great work.

Interested subject. I can see the OPs point as there are a quite a few youtube videos following a similar formula. Would be interesting to see what the actual definition (if there is one) of street photography is. There is a lot of emphasis in this thread on candid shots. I personally think it...

From what you have posted it just looks like a contractor has been given free reign. No aspect of design or consultation to ensure the solution is safe, suitable or aesthetically pleasing. Surely a ground level cobbled/ stone walkway using natural stone from the area would have been a much more...

Thanks Les. Yes been looking at various YouTube videos on posing etc. Just like the idea of a book for reference. Thinking the mastering portrait photography by Paul Wilkinson. Have been listening to his podcast.

Been into photography for a while with sport, landscape, architecture etc but never people. Work in manual mostly and know the basics of exposure off camera flash etc. Will be attending a portrait talk in the camera club in September followed by a hands on practical night in October. So would...

Really useful feedback from everyone, thanks. I suppose i'm not really using an ultra wide lens in FF terms so it's maybe not that difficult to replicate. At least i know i could get by in the interim and if i need to i can purchase a wide angle later. I'll make an effort to get out with my...

I currently use an 11-22mm EF M lens on my Crop sensor M5. I don't shoot a lot, but for landscapes i would tend to use the wider end when I do. I'm looking at upgrading to the RP + 24-105 Kit lens but wondering would I miss the 11mm focal length (FF 17.6mm). I don't really want to buy or carry...

I've been trying some light painting of cars using multiple flash shots blended in Photoshop. A typical set up is the camera looking 3/4 on front with the speedlite (softbox) being moved from the rear forwards (camera left) for each shot at a height of 8ft pointed directly down at the car. I...

My 10yr old son is interested in art and photography and we plan on buying him his first digital camera this summer. The choice for a point and shoot is huge. I would like to get him something with a bit of zoom. Also thinking about wifi. I have lightroom on his iPad and thought he could...

Thanks Ian, that gives me some confidence that i'm not completely off the mark in what i've done. I have it as near (for the monitor) as i can but I have noticed that some of the blues look more green (in the sky) when printed and some greens appear on my screen but not on the print. This is...

Thanks, i will give that a go when i get home. My monitor is a HP 2211x which came with the PC probably about 10 years ago. To get anywhere close to the printed images i have had to drop the green and blue drastically in colour management and reduce the brightness to 20%. Doesn't make for easy...

That's handy to know, just have to convince the club secretary now that it's a worthy investment lol.
