Hi Jon I am not trying to set the size of the print, I want the size of the print to be elastic. Imagine shooting a painting that you know is 10" wide then your solution makes sense, you just make the crop width 10" and crop to the edge of the painting. Now imagine you have an image of a...

I have photographed a series of drawings I have included in each a measure rule, I now want to out put these images at actual size ( this used to be so easy in the darkroom) anybody know an easy way to do this in Photoshop or lightroom. The method I've used before is to estimate the size and...

Nkp is correct a steamer, hang it and give it a blast of steam, wallpaper stripper is good if you have one!

Yes overheat protection, mostly happens when bouncing, 3-4 shots and it's shot, pretty useless when it's supposed to be a pro unit, used Metz 45ct4 for years never a bother

Anyone else experiencing this, I have been on to nikon and they advised updating the firmware which I did and it did improve things but it let me down again shooting a wedding on Saturday!!

Glass over body always, no point in buying a sensor that will record millions of pixels if the lens can't resolve the detail onto it.

I have been told the D300 is good for 250,000 I can't imagine the d80 will fail with so few!

If you have Photoshop, you can find how many actuations there have been. Shoot a raw file image open it in Photoshop ( raw processor) go to file, file info, select advanced, you will see a number of folders, inside one of these you will see "image number" this is the number of actuations.

Biggest problem is softness caused by reflection between the filters, that is the light passing through the first filter will strike the surface of the second filter and reflect back to the rear of the first filter giving a 'feather' to highlights in particular. Put multiple filters and the...

I think the 50mm is the correct choice it is the nearest to portrait lens given the sensor size. I use a very old nikkor 50mm prime fully manual ie no auto focus or camera set aperture, and other pros look at me like I'm mad, but it is razor sharp and I have not found a lens even in the +1k£ to...

I keep a few ND filters in my kit it means that I don't have to reduce the iso if I want to for example use a large aperture. The image tends to get noisy ( what we called grainy back in the day) when using the hi/lo settings

To shoot raw or not? The question is this, would you give your undeveloped film to a blind man to process then print then shred your negative? This is in effect what you do if you don't shoot raw, you leave it up to your camera to decide on all aspects of the output then allow it to throw the...

I love the things, I still use mine, I have the swimming pool about twice the size of the fish fryer, 6'x4' diffuser lovely light. Weighs an absolute ton but still impresses. I have a mate who is good with electronics that keeps the charger units serviced. I have 4 1kj units each connects to the...
