@Tim Wood I can't add much value to your question, other than I'd not give them a copy and I'd take them down if I was requested to. I couldn't be bothered with the hassle of keeping them up - life's too short and I doubt I'd make money from them... Also, not sure why the images are 'censored'...

Experience always tops certs in my book. I've interviewed candidates with certs that failed dismally when probed on the finer details of how things work in the real world. No cert can prepare you for what it's like when priorities change on a daily basis and when you are pulled left to right on...

85mm f/1.8g which I use for portraits - it's the sharpest lens I own and cost a fraction of the others in my bag o_O

I've got the Thinktank Airport Security v2 and am very happy with it. Have flown internationally with it as hand luggage and it worked brilliantly. Two bodies and several lenses with two speedlights and various bits and pieces. Used it on a few local shoots too and it's more than served my needs.

^this I shoot in my 'dining room' which is slightly bigger and get great results. Even rocking a 150cm octabox in here ;) Don't let the space restrict your desire to shoot... sure you will have to work around things and you will be loads better off in a bigger space, but what's worse... not...

Hey Nick, I think I understand what you are trying to convey, but if you view those posts with their intended purpose, I think you will find that the majority of the posters are looking for portrait advice, but they don't have access to willing adults. I certainly don't get the feeling that...

This is where David and I part company... Take @Morbid for example - Ian has come on tremendously since he first posted here. In fact, his pictures of his 'kid' helped him learn enough to post a very respectable picture (or more) of Lorna. Without the invaluable experience he got shooting Finley...

I actually agree with @Pookeyhead with regards being a Jack of all trades and how that can hurt you. Having said that, I don't think that @Kodiak Qc meant go and shoot landscapes if all you've ever shot is portraits and then go and try wildlife for good measure. I think it's about pushing your...

You make me chuckle sometimes, Daniel ;)

I can't help but feel that Daniel (@Kodiak Qc) is referring to some of my images/posts recently... Not that I mind - I actually take it as a bit of compliment :) I've only shot three sitters that can call themselves 'models' (due to them actually being paid to model) and I've only shot around...

Paul, a lot of good advice on this thread. I don't often frequent this area of TP but your post caught my eye. I think it's very much a case of using the right tool for the job at hand and there are many subjective views on what that may be for any given scenario. It also depends very much on...

Welcome from Guildford Andi, I'm sure you'll settle in just fine :welcome:

Indeed [emoji12] My phone app was only showing one page with no replies after Fracster's. Oh well!

And...? How did it go?

The letter will be a standard HR letter and it will always state that the outcome of the hearing may lead to disciplinary action or dismissal. The thing to remember here is that this is an investigation meeting and that they would be very foolish to deliver any disciplinary outcome without...
