    Canon EOS R Series Cameras

    Good Afternoon, I'm trying to update the firmware on my R from 1.7 to 1.8, I'm getting a 'update file cannot be found' error. I've redownloded it, formatted the sd card. Still does not work. This is the same card I used for the last update. Any ideas? Thanks D

    Mine is locked, unlocking quickly is getting a bit of getting used to.

    Canon EOS R Series Cameras

    I got an R with the kit lens last week. This is after using a 5d3 for a few years. I'm still getting to grips (pardon the pun) with the R but initial impressions after a few hundred shots are. I like the form factor, I don't miss the joystick (not sure what the fuss is about, just use your thumb...

    Canon EOS R Series Cameras

    Yes I'm tempted as well. I've been using a 5d3 since they came out along with a deeply frustrating xt-1 (love the images, but really struggle with the usability). Mainly a hobbyist but I do some paid work, mainly corporate headshots, automotive, product and people. My personal photography...

    Too much for me?

    I've done a lot of shoots in barber shops with highly tattooed model with lots of odd hair colours. Things to remember. Barbers/hairdressers are busy places, by busy I mean lots of people and lots of stuff, frame your shot carefully and make sure you are happy with everything that's in the shot...

    The Amazing Sony A1/A7/A9/APS-C & Anything else welcome Mega Thread!

    I spent a lot of time in the paddock at f1 events in 2008/9 and most of the kit was canon then. I think sports was always a market for them and they gave a lot of support at events, having service teams and spares on site. You see similar things at the Olympics. I noticed at a GP last year that...

    Uninspired, Unsure, Unhappy

    I have phases of street shooting I do it two ways. 1, with a reasonably long lens (70-200) in a candid way. 2. with a 35mm or 85mm in peoples faces I have asked many strangers and only once been turned down. Generally interesting looking people are interesting people...

    DSLRs and street photography

    Hi, Yes but it means I can get closer to the action without actually getting closer (which sometimes puts people off). Lugging a big white lens about does attract some attention though ;)

    DSLRs and street photography

    If it was in Cambridge then it might of been me (although I'm not a tourist). I use my 5d for street stuff sometimes, the 70-200 gives a lot of flexibility.

    Lightroom 5 40% off!

    It is very different to elements, I use LR as somewhere to manage and process my raw files. It is very easy to sort levels and enhance a whole batch of images. I then use elements or photoshop for heavy manipulation like removing heads etc ! LR is quite easy to get to grips with, lots of...

    Nik Tools Silver Efex

    Google don't generally charge for downloaded software, they get you to pay for a service. There is a feeling that one of the main reasons they bought Nik was for Snapseed. I hope they keep developing the desktop apps and revise the price down a bit as I would really like the whole suite but...
