Add me please!

That looks like a right mess of partitions. I'd be very tempted to back up anything I needed and reinstall Windows properly.

Oh God... I'm in the HDR hole!

For me it is YouTube videos and practice. I don't go looking for tutorial videos unless I want to learn something specific, I've found I've learnt a lot more by watching videos by people like Sean Tucker, Tom Heaton and Mark Denney. They take the time to explain their processes and there is a...

I love Novatech, awesome people. I also love that there is absolutely no bloat installed on their PCs either.

I'm dumb! Sorry guys, I didn't notice the LR auto exposure had been applied! I just rechecked and the foreground is waaay under-exposed just as you'd expect.. mystery solved! Sorry! :)

Those settings are correct ISO 320. Nope, the photo is completely unedited because I wanted to get thoughts on why it looks like it does.

This was my first set of shots with my new (2nd hand) 80D. I bought the camera from MBP and they said there are only 1500 clicks on the shutter, so it's as good as new in my book. The settings for the shot: ISO 320 1/1600sec f/13 I under exposed 2 stops because I wanted the sun to come...

Thanks everyone, really great replies - you've given me quite a bit to think about!

I'd love to hear about peoples different experiences with how they tackled the subject of getting their photos seen online. For myself, I didn't do much research when I started out this summer. I was photographing cyclists mostly and they all had Instagram followings, and the teams also had...

Hard to tell, really - it was a cycle race so I didn't spent much time figuring it out when it happened. At first I thought maybe the battery had died, so I swapped it out even though it said it was full. It was only the one time that it actually stuck and it was afterwards that I noticed the...

I got into photography through photographing cycle races for my brother and his team. I started this summer and enjoyed it to begin with but now I'm happy that the season is over and I'm not planning to pick it back up next year. It's boring, not much variety in shots and locations (I mostly do...

Hi all, I've run into a bit of an issue with my Canon 700D. I was taking a series of shots last Saturday when I noticed the shutter seemed to be just slightly too slow, as if it was sticking open just a bit. Then after one shot it actually did stick open for a couple seconds. After this...

Howdy! I'm Mark a Banbury based photographer. I started about 6 months ago by taking photos of cycling events and races - I still do this but I've recently been looking at ways to expand my hobby with street and landscape photography. I'm looking forward to picking up tips and tricks from you...
