Yup I have had a pro 1 for about 2-3 years. What software are you using?

Yup FCPX for me.

For excellent service I would not hesitate to recommend Lehmanns in Stoke on Trent

What follows assumes that Lightroom 3 has more or less the same controls as Lightroom 4/5 which is what I use. In Lightroom 4 in the develop module in the Basic panel on the right you will see Black and White. Click on this and it will remove the colour. You can now use the sliders to adjust...

I have taken over the website of my camera club and in order to streamline the results page I want a slide show plugin that will allow me to add individual information for each image, probably just Title, Name and Position. Most of the ones I have auditioned only seem to allow you to enter data...

Manfrotto 393 long lens support. Affordable and it works.

All my photgraphy is done on a mac pro. However I have just acquired a macbook air. I have 800 photos from a trip to spain which are partly processed. When i get home is it possible to move the folder with pics onto my main machine and import the catalogue into lightroom on the pro so all the...

Having struggled with creep on ball heads for years imoved to a Manfrotto 405 geared head. I now use my tripod far more than I used to because it holds the the camera rock steady.

I tend to put my canon onto soft release. I never have the focus cofirmation beep activated and if i do ' machine gun then i have it set to a max burst of about 5. It is only used for very fast moving objects it is otherwise completely unnecessary. In fact i rarely use it at all. Shutter noise...

When you have a DoF measured in mm or parts thereof, technique becomes very important. Firstly for a butterfly with its wings open the axis of the lens must be perpendicular to the plane of the butterfly. Otherwise only a small propotion of the butterfly will be sharp. If you are using AF then...

I have a 1D iv and a 5DII. For virtually all my wildlife stuff I use the ID. The exception is macro in which case I use the 5D with a 100mm macro lens. The definition is awesome.

The standard lenses for wildlife tend to be the 500mm f 4, 400 f2.8, 300 f2.8. all of them big, heavy and expensive. For Canon users 2 good starter lenses are the 100 - 400mm or the 400 f5.6. These come in around the £1000 mark new. The reason these are the 'standard' lenses is because they are...

As far as the picture is concerned, what non-photographers don't always appreciate is that a photograph is a snapshot in time. A fleeting expression captured for eternity. As human beings we do not experience the world in that way. We perceive the world as something which continual changes...

For mostly tripod mounted work the cheaper non IS version will be excellent. If you are after skittish bugs and beasties then the you will probably be doing a lot of handheld stuff and for that the IS is a real advantage. I sold my 100mm Sigma and a couple of others to get the Canon IS and it...

IMO the 24-? Zoom and the 85 f? Are ver different options. The zoom is a good general purpose but not very fast lens. An 85 prime does not have quite the same general application but what it does eg portraits it does very well.. In a fit of extravagance I bought the 85 f1.2. This is superb at...
