    How many of you have sold off your whole kit and downgraded?

    I'm glad to know that there are others out there with the same thoughts. My SLR has seen much less use of late, with most use being taking it on holiday but even then it's difficult with kids in tow. So, I've been contemplating selling my SLR for some time but not quite been brave enough. This...

    What car do you drive?

    I've just put my 1997 Toyota MR2 N/A back on the road. It was SORN for about 9 months as I couldn't bear to part with it but now I have a need for it, its good to have it back!!

    Using 450D for weddings with L glass?

    Hi Vicki, If its any help, I shot a wedding last year on my 400D with 24-70 and 70-200. I found that even at f2.8, you may still need to boost ISO so grain will be an issue and although some of the grainy images turned out quite interesting, i would have preferred a better high ISO body. I...

    The dreaded what lens for a wedding thread

    What perfect timing!!! Similar predicament to Freester... I have 24-70L on a 400D (and some other bits). Going on holiday to Hong Kong in a few weeks and will definately be buying a 10-22mm. Will take this opportunity and considering whether to also get 70-200 f2.8 or 7d upgrade. What will it...

    Hi, I had LightRoom 1.4 and upgraded to Lightroom 2. But something in windows broke and I had to reinstall. Before the reinstall, there was a function which allowed me to click on the top-right corner of a thumbnail and it would add that picture to the "Quick selection". Since the reinstall...
