Thankyou for the replies Ideally I’d like to buy a brand new copy as cheap as possible. I’m not sure if they have frequent sales or discounts? With regards to longevity of LR6 I’ve only hadn’t my camera a few months and kept my last one for about 8 years so hoping that this software will last...

Starting to get fed up of converting RAW into DNG just so that I can edit using Photoshop Elements Currently on a 7 day trial for Light Room 6 (Stand alone version) and since applying the update 6.14 it reads and edits my RAW files perfect. I also love the much simpler, workflow with LR. I...

Thanks Dan, I will have a look on eBay, what are your thoughts on the links that I posted? What do you mean by hoop??

For those who have done newborn photography before, what backdrops/blankets do you use? I already have a large black velvet material Now I'm looking for some white material that I can use, what size/material would people recommend? Would something like this be ok...

Interesting debate regarding the flash for newborn photography, definitely something I will consider. Thanks Wanilson I will make sure I get a copy of the new NPhoto mag as they usually have some good inspiration tips in there.

Hi Phil, I have never staged anybody for a photographic shoot before. So my answer to both of those questions would be none. Most of my photography is outdoors, animals, long exposure/creative. Hi Jim, Thank you for the reply. Your first advice regarding the newborn blogs/tutorials is pretty...

Good Afternoon All, My partner and I are expecting our first child this year and I would love to have a go at newborn photography myself. I have been looking at many guides on the internet (including previous posts on this forum). I was just wondering if anybody had there own tips/tricks or...

Thanks mate, have they changed the design at all? I always find choosing new equipment so difficult You think you’ve narrowed it down to one option and then discover it has some sort of defect Why can’t there just be a perfect, go-to option haha

Thanks Hadron so just the Nikon T-Ring and the quotes T-Adaptor (50mm??)

Good evening all, My dad has a Celestron Nexstar 6se and I believe it is possible to connect my Nikon D7500 to it with the right adaptors etc. Could anybody point me in the right direction as to what is required? Thanks in advance, Dean

Hi HoppyUK... I've done some googling for reviews but the majority seem to be positive, do you think the Hoya Pro ND ten stopper is still worth a buy?

Thankyou for your suggestions "Mr Perceptive" As this will be my first ND10 filter, I think I will go for the Hoya Pro ND 77mm screw type with adaptors for each of my lenses, then see how I get on as the price of this is half that of the Lee or Hitech including holders etc.

Thanks for all the replies Which makes/brands do people use/recommend?

So buy a 77mm circular screw type ND10 with associated (77-72, 77-67 & 77-58 adaptors) Compose all shots through live view... will the adaptors etc. cause much vignetting? Are square type ND's out the question for my needs?

Thanks Gad-westy, My only concern with screw in filters is composition, but as GreenNinja67 just mentioned, I can use live view. Would it be best to purchase a 72mm ND filter and associated adapter rings, or is that a bit too much?? (Eg. 72mm - 67mm. &. 72mm - 58mm)
