Thank you

Yep, I have been reading quite a few threads and the quest for a full frame has been put to bed .... :)

David, thank you. I am trying to concentrate on technique currently, trying my best to get it right in the camera. I do get swayed by the full frame options, but planning to stick to my crop d7000 and D70 and not upgrading unless these cameras fail :) and there's a lot I need to learn with these...

That was one of the few videos which came up on youtube when I was looking into the techiniques and searching for colour grading etc. Thank you.

Thank you swanseamale47 and sk66.

The photographs in Edinburgh castle were stunning. The pictures didnt look like they were unreal or HDR etc.The colour,vividness, sharpness etc were simply stunning.I think there were some A3 prints etc and couldn't leave the room. A 4 minutes video loop of him taking shots on his hasselblad...

Thank you 4wd

Thank you Juggler, it sounds very very complex. An area I am keen to attempting to learn in future. Robert Wilson mentions taking about 500 or 600 images to get one shot right and sometimes gets retouching done by someone else. The phots on Dragan's website are very intense

Thank you rpsmith, I haven't used PS for nearly 4 or 5 years now I think, I have stuck to Lightroom for everything. I will need to brush up my PS basics before I can venture further

Hi folks, I have visited Edinburgh Castle over the weekend and was totally blown away by the amazing photographs of Robert Wilson. There are some images in this link https://www.ephotozine.com/article/interview-with-photographer-robert-wilson-25911 and his website...

Hi Phil, I did take shots during the rehearsals,but the kids weren't wearing the costumes. It wasn't a proper dress rehearsal, more of a reharsal to get kids used to the space available on the stage etc. It's been a very useful learning experience overall.

Hi folks, A bit of feedback from me. I did end up being one of the main photographers, as 'main' tog dropped out on the day..... it was another parent and me managing the photography on the day. It was bloody hard and an experience I wouldn't want to repeat, if I was being paid for this kind of...

Hi Kipax, I have been going through the photos in detail.It has been very ,very useful. Did you use spot metering? Looks like you have constantly kept changing the shutter speed? This is where your experience helps. With me having used semi auto modes for a long time, I'll need to practise a...

Thank you for the help Kipax. I will download an exif viewer plugin. Even if another parent helped out with a DSLR, that would take a lot of pressure off me. Lets see :).

Kipax, I am getting quite nervous now.. if an experienced photographer like you found it very difficult, I think it's just a no brainer for me - I may very politely back out, if there isn't a main photographer. I don't want parents to be upset if photos aren't what they expected ... How do I...
