Also take a look at Amazon sellers. I have been able to source genuine Hoya pro circular polarizers from UK suppliers (so no Customs duty risks) for less than £50 for 58 mm and 67 mm sizes. Both arrived two days later (2 different suppliers). This was also a good source of compact flash...

I have used Mac's personally and professionally for 8 years. And PC's in a business environment for much longer. Over that time I have seen the two platforms converge in many ways. The differences between them are negligible now in practical terms for the average user. The decision...

jimpetre - I admire your desire to innovate. I suspect that the market for such a product would be very limited. This is a polite way of saying that if you have commercial aspirations for it, then I would think again if I were you. Srewart R - stunning photos. The first one in...

When I asked this question I was not making any suggestion that tattoos suggest anything at all about character. I was merely interested in whether from a photographic perspective photographers felt that tattoos tend to detract from the image, or reduce the opportunity to achieve desirable...

Please ignore. I have solved it. I did not realise I was supposed to use the Canon software in the Mac - silly me!

I am trying to update to update the firmware to 1.08 and getting stuck - as a result of stupidity I expect. I have downloaded the firmware to my Mac. I have formatted a new CF card and attached camera to Mac as specified and switched on. The instructions then say: "Start EOS Utility...

The Camera was given an incredibly positive review on the Luminous Landscape web site.

I have now discovered the answer by posting on the Apple forum site for Aperture. In case anyone needs to know this, the solution is as follows (lifted from the apple forum answers given to me and slightly edited): Make a version of the image in question by hitting "alt + V". Then edit the...

Hello. Just joined today. I am just trialling Aperture and cannot find the answer to what must be a simple issue. When editing an image I want to compare the original of that image alongside it. The compare function only seems to allow me to select one of the other images in the project...
