Also horrid advice, sorry.

Totally agree, I find the OCD side of myself wanting to do this, but compositionally so much can be gained with a wide angle by pointing it up or down to deliberately exaggerate lines and shapes, but then correction is required... Have fun, you should find it easy but if you get really stuck...

Maybe at sunset there is more atmospheric haze and usually the sun is a *slightly* softer light source than it can be at sunrise. Not always the case I know, the other thing I would say is your castle will prevent the sun becoming visible in the scene until it has risen enough to clear the...

It's an interesting thread, so thanks for posting. My thoughts are this. Sometimes shots near a road are an advantage. Because with changing light and limited time you can quickly get back to the car and change location to somewhere that may end up working a lot better. If you had specifically...

I wonder if your preference is because we read the written word left to right. Images that take the eye through in the same direction then also feel right. It would be interesting to survey a load of westerners and also people from countries that write and read right to left. Then see if there...

As Gary @vulcan2912 said above, the Thursday and Monday are arguably the best days to go in, for arrivals and departures. I haven't been for a few years but validations/practice displays used to run into the evening on the Friday, usually with a Spitfire up at sunset. With Friday being a half...

Personally I carry water as cold drinking water. But for cooking and washing I’ll boil water from free flowing streams. For tea and coffee I’ll also boil water from high up free flowing streams but get it on a running boil for 1-2 minutes before using. I know people who happily drink...

The sigma ART 14-24 2.8 is an incredible lens. I swear it was designed for an image circle larger than full frame.

I have fallen out of love with it completely. I didn't go 'Pro' with my subscription so got all the warnings about deleting my oldest images. Fine, I downloaded my entire Photostream and backed it up to my hard drive. But now when I go on there and try and upload a new picture it tells me I...

Nikon D500 has the best autofocus of any camera full stop. It’s RAW files are better than any canon including full frame camera from a malleable dynamic range point of view, and sharp as there is no anti aliasing filter. I don’t think you will like the noise though. When you learn how to...

Not really, it is just an observation. Beyond looking at just this Skye video but Lizzie's images (which are rather good) her subject is primarily herself, and the landscape is secondary. To me they are portraits that's all.

I have just looked through her Flickr and don't believe this should be in Talk Landscapes, but in Talk Portraits.

I felt sick reading some of that Greg. But I don't like injuries/illnesses or hospitals. Hope you get well soon, both physically and by the look of things mentally. You will associate photography and your risk taking with the injury and (temporary) reduced ability it has brought about during a...

So being a canon owner you will be able to download for free DPP which is canons own software. It’s a bit clunky to use but it is a very good raw converter and you would be able to apply automatic or manual lens distortion corrections with that. You might not use it all the time but a good...

Lez will sort it for you. But really? What camera and lens are you using and what software do you have?
