My pretty simple but reliable method to obtain "what you see is what you get" is as follows. Firstly, most computer monitors produce fairly accurate colours in the first place and more importantly do not actually drift much with time. So with that in mind, do the following: 1) Edit a few photos...

I'm currently using Photoshop CS5 which works just fine for me, but I think I'm going to have to go the CC monthly subscription route, because I like some of the new features too much!! Like the blur filters with bokeh control - mmm!

Hi guys, I'm looking to possibly purchase the Canon EF 16-35mm f/2.8 L II USM, but I've heard barrel distrortion is "worse than expected" from a L series lenes. Anyone using this glass got any comments? Cheers Glenn http://www.gmatherphotography.com

For wedding work then the 5dII is probably the sensible choice, good low light capability, full frame sensor for nice DOF work and very useful custom pre-sets, making changing camera setings from in-church low light to outdoor sunlight a breeze! Glenn http://www.gmatherphotography.com

Now do you check the shutter count on Canon cameras?

Colour balance is always a personal thing, so getting close is normally okay for most people as they have nothing to compare it to! I think the image is very slightly cold, but this is only with a critical eye. As has been said previously, the church is lit with different light sources and it...

Hi Dave, looking at CS6 - in your opinion what are the major improvements / new things compared to CS5? Glenn

I have a 550D and use a Canon 580EX with great results in low light. But it is worth noting that the 550D can give acceptable results at 1600 ISO and a slowish shutter speed. You may find that not all of these are ok because of movement blur but the ones that do work should be great as they...

Thanks guys - I'll check out your suggestions and post any follow on questions I may have. Glenn

I'm looking to purchase some form of out-door battery powered lighting for use mainly at wedding receptions, for evening bride and groom "atmospheric" shoots. Anyone any good suggestions? Cheers Glenn

I need to try the eneloops! - I've tended to use Duracell or Energizer with no real problem Glenn

I agree with "HoppyUK" the 17-55 2.8 with IS is maybe the best way to go. Great lens with good IS.

Every first dance is different, some are very dark, some quite "light and airy". A good idea is to get the happy couple to have a mock fiirst dance for you as soon as they arrive at the reception, whilst the guests are in the bar!! here you can try a number of different set-ups. Glenn

A friend of mine with contacts at Canon says 5d Mark 3 might not happen this year!! Glenn
