Thank so much guys for all your messages. I’m really feeling the love as a newbie and appreciate all your support and knowledge! I shall speak to my tutor but the materials I have state we must shoot raw and edit in PS... (i’d guess they specify that so a) people have a raw file to work with for...

Thank you for your patience :) that makes sense... raw means... well, raw I guess! So I should just shoot as is and then change post in PS? I also just found something re colour settings on the camera. There’s an option for sRGB (which I’ve been shooting on) and Adobe RGB. If I understand...

Thanks for your message, Stu. Glad you got yours working ok! I’m on 19.0 which was the October 17 release... there’s been nothing newer out... Cheers

No “exasperation” at all on my part guys! I was just clarifying that it wasn’t a ‘preset’ as I thought you’d implied that may be a factor, rather than custom... They were shot raw. I’ve used the auto tune in lightroom previously. They really don’t need very much further processing (to my...

Hello! Thank you for your prompt reply! To clarify, I changed some custom settings on the 6d, turned up saturation etc. So they are shot very vividly (David LaChapelle-esque, if I may dare say!) Windows is happy with them, just PS that changes them... Thanks so much!

Hi all - newbie here, 6d, studying photography. Have just found an issue when opening shots to edit in photoshop and am hoping someone has a simple explanation! :) (user error likely!) I like shooting with the colour settings on my camera quite vibrant, it’s become almost my own styling. So I’m...

Matt that is incredibly kind of you! Thank you ever so much! I have managed to convince the bride it should be done ‘properly’ Or not at all... she’s now asked me to take some photos at her wedding! Which at least gives me some time to practice! For some time now I’ve felt reluctant to do...

Hi Craig - thank you for your message. For the 6d I've got: 1:8 50mm 1:4 17-40mm 1:4 24-105mm 1:4 70-300mm (not sure the correct way to write them) have similar for the 40d which obviously is crop frame. What would you advise? Many thanks!

Hi Phil - thank you for your message. I have 1 speed light, yes. A 430ex? does that sound right? thank you!

Hi guys - happy new year to you all! I've been asked to do some night shots for my friends engagement by the river in London - I'm a newbie. I've a canon 6d. Did a recce with a touristy photography tour last night for some spots. Got some ok shots (have attached one - critique welcome!), but to...

Thank you to everyone for your responses. Thats very helpful. I think I will stick with what I have for now and try to improve with it. Thanks again and happy new year!! :)

hi guys I just started studying for a photography degree part time. I have a canon 6d and a 40d. I’m being seduced by a 5d mk iv... Do I need it? Will I see that much of a step up? I guess some people will say camera doesn’t matter but I’m interested in your views. I’ve seen it in the web at...
