    What are people's thoughts on the grey market area websites?

    No idea and not in anyway bothered because they confirm "All import and customs charges are covered by us "

    What are people's thoughts on the grey market area websites?

    I've bought a Nikon lens from Panamoz and saved nearly £400 on UK prices It was delivered in 6 bus days, shipped by FedEx where I could monitor delivery progress. Panamoz seemed very helpful, I was very impressed. For the guy posting above, the Panamoz site confirms "All import and customs...

    The camera is going in the bin !

    Its 100% an issue with ISO set at 1600!! Thats way too high and its why you are getting your Canon images over exposed. I expect you have set a high ISO at some point for night photography and not set it back. Set it now to 100 which is likely the default standard setting. Always set the camera...

    Infra Red Photography

    Thats true but you will still have to be on a tripod and frame the the scene / image then add the filter. From my own personal experience I prefer the ability and freedom of hand held images. Personally I'd not have thought there is a great need for changing IR filters that often but horses for...

    Infra Red Photography

    If you have a tripod, especially in the summer why not set the camera up and take say an image every hour of the same location through a window, find out what time of day, light etc gives you the time of images you want. IR images are quite interesting, it makes the skin look like porcelain...

    Infra Red Photography

    I have 2 converted DSLRs and thats probably the best way to go rather than a filter on the end. An IR converted camera means you can shoot at normal shutter speeds hand held and be able to see through the view finder. With filter on the you cant see through the view finder so will need to frame...

    The Photographer's Bag Dealer trying it on?

    Just came across this and thought I would add my experience I bought a Nikon camera which when it arrived was as advertised. However I found that it had some dust on the sensor which I had not expected and was showing in images which I sent to them. I researched to find it would cost £25 for a...

    Preparing Images to be sent for printing by an on-line company

    I can see CS6 allows me to automate this by Files > Scripts > Image Processor ticking the convert profile to sRGB.......wondered if there is a way to do this as part of bridge bring the RAW files over avoiding even this step

    Preparing Images to be sent for printing by an on-line company

    Hi, In the past I have wondered why images I've prepared in photoshop do not get printed by the on-line printing company the same as I see them on the screen. So... 1. I have a screen calibrator which in fairness does appear to darken the screen which as a result I save images that were...

    Advice please on which Kenco tubes for Macro

    Hi, As a late starter in digital photography I have enjoyed many genres of photography including macro. I use a Nikon full frame body with a Sigma 105mm f/2.8 As I explore this genre I've been amazed with some macro shots where the close up detail is amazing such as images showing the spiders...
