    Which Camera?

    If you want the higher shutter speed the mark 4 is the better option. It also has better dynamic range than the other 2 but the price is resolution. All 3 are fantastic cameras, it just depends on your priorities over usability vs resolution.

    Insect Repellant

    This is a really useful thread, thanks. I got mauled by the midges in the highlands last year, and am heading back this August. I will stock up on some Smidge before I go!

    What will be your next photography related purchase? Or what photography gear do you lust after?

    I would like to upgrade my ageing 5D Mark 2. The Canon body prices are extortionate atm though.

    Wex down?

    Aye it appears to be not loading for me on Plusnet or BT fibre. * Edit, it is now loading but really really slowly.

    IT Occupation

    I'm an SEO consultant and web developer. I guess a lot of IT people could like photography as it gets them out into the fresh air :) Back in the day I had a computer shop, but got sick of spending my life fixing spyware and viri.

    Opinions sought, graduated ND filters for landscape photography.

    It really depends on what you want to shoot. You may not need the full range to start with. I'd check with issues on any holder for vignetting on the 16-35. I used a Cokin z pro holder for years with little issue once I took one set of the sliders off, which is just four screws. One thing that...

    NIK COLLECTION NOW FREE

    If you have bought it in 2016 you will get a full refund. Sadly I bought it at the end of December. Good software though and well worth trying.

    B&W Software

    I use and love the Silver Efex in the Nik collection: https://www.google.com/nikcollection/ (Google bought it). You can get a free 30 day trial of it and probably of the Topaz suite too, why not give them all a try? Dave

    Not everyone has a fast connection though sadly.

    Anyone else use Vidahost with Wordpress?

    I don't have any issues on the WordPress installs I have there. They are likely on another box though! What have they said about your issues? Are you logged in at all times of checking?

    Logging Landscape Locations

    These are great ideas. If it is a picture that I have seen online I pin it to a pinterest board of places to go. When I have visited a place I add it to my Tom Tom favourites, especially if it is spots on Dartmoor etc. This means I can quickly navigate to different spots to respond to changing...

    Upgrade PSE or move to Lightroom?

    Why don't you download the free trial of Lightroom to have a play and see if it is something you could work with? I was weary of it at first, but now love it. I pay for the 8 pound a month Photoshop and Lightroom CC subscription but rarely use Photoshop as Lightroom is really quick for most...

    Show and tell: Your Wordpress powered photo sites

    Hi guys .org.uk domains aren't restricted so I am not breaking any rules. It was done for SEO purposes as an experiment while I source a better domain, which I will then re-direct it to. As someone who works in the internet marketing industry I can assure you that while the benefit was reduced...
