I don't watch many photography channels on Youtube these days but still enjoy Ben Horne videos when he visits the national parks with his large format camera. I have no interest in film or large format but he takes images that I find interesting.

As I wasn't taking many photos I dumped my £10 a month subscription to LR + PS (Photography bundle) around 6 months ago. I heard that there are sometimes deals to be had around Black Friday so had a look on Amazon earlier this week and dropped on the same package for £62.99 for the year. That is...

I went with the 34L and don't regret it. I use a BYOB 10 and it fits all my photography gear for landscape photography. I have the Sony A7R4 with Tamron 28-200 + the 16-35GM lens (so 16 to 200mm covered) and circular filters, batteries, remote releases, wipes etc in the bag. The BYOB 10 can...

I have the BYOB 10 - it fits everything with some creativity in the layout :)...

Smaller / lighter kit is the way I have gone. I sold my 24-70 F2.8 and 70-200 F4 and replaced them with a Tamron 28-200. Now I have 2 lenses and 16 to 200mm covered. I pack the camera, lenses, circular filters, batteries and all the other bits I need into a Tenba BYOB. This then fits into either...

On Zazzle you can build the calendar then put it up for sale on the site. I can build a small, medium and large version then set a commission and then put up for sale. People can then buy what size they want and have delivered to them directly. Price is going to be more than £20 for the large...

I can't see the option to sell calendars on that link - only create your own / have delivered to me. Only on my phone at moment - will take a look in more detail when I get on a computer. Dave.

One option I have found is Zazzle - worth a look.

Not sure if this is the right area to post in but I am assuming a few landscape photographers may already do this and have opinions. I have a Facebook group and get a quite a few requests for a calendar each year. I am not a professional photographer and don't want the hassle of printing /...

Did some tests over the weekend and this was the issue :) I can still use back button focus when I switch to manual focus - so I can cover all eventualities. Thanks Dave.

Yes - I have focus on the back button. Will try moving it back on to the shutter button but it will be disappointing if that is the problem. Thanks for suggesting :) Dave.

Not sure - will check.

Yes - tried that :( I have done a search and gone through everything I could find - but still can't figure out how to get it to just focus on the touched point then take the shot. I have had this functionality on other cameras in the past and just assumed it would work easily on the X100V. It...

Thanks - I was that impressed with the shot that I went back a few days later with my "big" camera and a tripod so I could get a "better" version of the shot. I totally failed and the results did not give me the same feelings as the image I had captured with the tiny RX100 :) I gave up and...

@binky62 Depending on what you are looking to photograph I would say that image stabilisation would also play a part in this. If you are photographing none moving subjects then better stabilisation would allow for a slower shutter speed / better ISO. Has there been an improvement in the...
