I still think it's a good quality photo but if you don't feel you put the time/work in to produce it then I can see why you're disappointed they chose that photo over the others. Look forward to those thoughts! :)

Thinking of getting the Sigma 30mm f1.4 but heard it hunts a bit wide open. Still, if you've got the light you can always manual focus. Is there any difference between light gathering and focus of the 24 and 30 really?

Looks very peaceful, nice photos. I often feel that moments like these are best caught quickly and with sensitivity rather than not at all; Napalm Girl seems like a good example.

Hi Julian, not sure why you're so ashamed of THAT photo... looks pretty good to me :) http://www.take-a-view.co.uk/2015-award-winners/

Yeah, I wish I had my a6000 with me at the time. Maybe I could have got some usable RAWs :( I would definitely prefer to have a few darker, noisy images than none but I wouldn't call the JPEGs I got usable or something I'm proud of. A memory, yes. Some good photos, not so much. A shame when...

Yeah I understand that but there's always limitations to the systems. I do wonder why my iPhone is using ISO's of only around 400 and 1/17s shutter. I guess the sensor is just so bad that the noise is too much. A lot of noise/ weird artefacts at ISO 400!

Hi, Recently I was in Santiago in Chile where there was a gathering that the police had to disperse - pretty cool stuff really. I only had my iPhone 6S with me on the time and took a few shots (including the couple I've attached below) but it got me thinking, if I were to have my camera on me...

Hi, When trying to set up back-button AF I can get the back-button AF to work but I can't get the continuous focus people talk about in AF-S mode. When holding the back-button down it only focuses once until I press it again, just like the normal shutter button. This is contrary to what I've...

Nice :) I'm hoping to expand my travel kit from just the 16-50 to that plus the 55-210 and the 30mm f1.4 by Sigma. I guess you like the 50 but I think it would be a bit close for the street photography etc. I want to do. Could it be used for wildlife? If only stationary wildlife I would still...

I'll have a look at the Flipside but I think it may be quite a bit more expensive. I'd be using the Peak Design Clip with my Sony a6000, did it fail with your dSLR or with your m4/3?

Cool, I've been looking at reviews and photos on the internet and I think this is a better, more useful choice than the Photo Sport or Fastpack. I will definitely get that Peak Design clip you mentioned so I don't have to take my bag on and off all the time and have my hands free otherwise...

Just to clarify, I have a 70l backpack already but was looking for something to replace my current 28l daypack. If I could find a rucksack with a side zip as then an insert could definitely be the way to go. Do you know the make and model of yours? Okay, interesting. Space to fit a travel...

Hi, Looking to extend my camera kit past the kit lens and body and one of the lenses I was looking at was the 55-210mm f4.5-6.3 by Sony. Has anybody used this lens and if so what are your thoughts? Is it sharp? Has it got bad CA or distortion? How quick is the focus? Thanks!

Yeah OK. I'm currently backpacking so it's good to know you're not quite sitting in a spa all day [emoji23] cheers! Trouble is I am really looking for a backpack rather than a sling carry bag. The backpack means it's good for transport as well as use out and about. I could buy that standard...

Could this work as a travel tripod or is it just too long when fully folded?
