    Home Lighting Set Up 2026

    Morning All, so Ive been using my SB700 flash for the past 3 years on my daughters xmas card pictures in her living room and am thinking I should get a better set up to light things evenly, Im looking for recommendations for the stand, light, and hood/reflector, other bits. I should have had a...

    Nursary Pictures

    No idea about that AI stuff, but I did some reading and apparently its style of photography, not my cup of tea though

    Cotswold Cameras

    See if the serial sticker comes off, my 35mm lens had a strange serial sticker, I peeled it off and the Nikon one was underneath, I think it might be a way round the import gobbledygook

    Nursary Pictures

    The second year in a row weve been dissapointed inthe quality of the images from a firm called Concept Photography, they have a habit of cutting tops of heads off (image attached). Surely thus would be better in a portrait view. Im going to contact them and see if i can get the raw files but i...

    Cotswold Cameras

    Hi, I just received a Z 35mm 1.8s from Cotswold, took about a week to get here, fine and dandy, kind of like it better than the 50 i have. It was either pay £700 new retail from UK £450 used from MPB or new from Cotswold for £450. Would buy from them or Panamoz again

    Insect decline in the UK

    I saw a video where it was explained that the chemical pesticides sprayed on crops had been absorbed into the plants and soil and when the bees and insects collected the pollen it had been absorbed into them from the plants and that was what was killing them.

    Cotswold and Panamoz

    If you prefer to spend hundreds of £ more fine go for it but don't spoil a better deal for others, Im mulling a Z8 body and can just about afford there £2300 price or I can get fleeced for another £1000 from a UK shop which would be a no for me to buy one. I for one am sick of being taxed to...

    New Camera

    Hi All, thanks for the replies, I'm thinking of the Z8 as I know Nikon menus and like the ergonomics so I need rid of my Z6ii first.

    New Camera

    Hi, down to just the 50mm 1.8s at the moment, I'm not fussed in changing brands, whichever does the job

    New Camera

    So I have my 60th arriving in July which gives me an excuse for a new camera, my current Z6ii is fine for stationary and slow moving things but fails miserably on say the dog running towards me so time for a new one, Im stuck on the following Z6iii - a few sites saying focus isn't the best and...

    Cotswold and Panamoz

    I've bought from both and my next camera will be from them, if uk suppliers were only a hundred or so more then yes the uk but if the uk only gives a 12 month warranty the Panamoz, there's a fair profit then there's greed or what they can get from each region of the world, just my opinion.
