Hey guys, Thanks for your replies, ideally working to a budget, not much more than a grand, whilst I love the look of the A7, it'd over stretch my budget. Have been looking at the X-T1 and the X-T2 and there seems to be a few bargains about! Lenses are reasonable priced too! Need to get my...

The new 15" MacBook Pro does look amazing! But at £2349 and £2599 puts it out of budget for me - a shame really as the Touch Bar looks like a handy little tool!

After a few years break from photography, I'm starting to get the itch again - not only personally, but also need for business. I like the idea of compact mirrorless bodies, however, I have always been a DSLR kinda guy - used to own a pair of 5d III's and a large selection of L lenses, so I'm...

I bought some stuff a while ago from them - no problems here - grey stock didn't bother me at the time!

You can grade using Lightroom 5 if you film in RAW using the new magiclatern. You'll need fast cards though and lots of them!! I use the komputerbay 1000x cards, they work a treat!

Wow amazing! Just watched the making of too...all makes sense now! Must have been a nightmare to shoot though!

Just getting into video too, this is my first attempt at shooting a days photo shoot with a colleague.

The 5dIII PDF works fine on my ipad using ibooks. Using the most up to date firmware on an ipad air.

When I spoke to Canon they said they'd sort it. However I never sent it back to them as the issue never really bothered me that much. Give Elstree a call. They'll sort it out for you! I assume it's still under warranty?

I'd agree with Phil - the 85mm is an amazing portrait lens for the Canon - not much use to a Nikon user though :(

From my neck of the woods there is Sarah Wilkes who does mentor training. Her work is outstanding - in Nottinghamshire though. She used to be a member here on TP - not sure if she still is though? http://www.sarahwilkesphotography.co.uk/

I've done quite a few evening shoots and as long as you're not too high the results are certainly workable ;)

The results can be quite amazing!! ;)

It depends what you are shooting. Landscapes, macro etc? For landscapes, for example, you would probably only need 3-4 images - taken across the range of the image. Mark

I'm lucky that I live in the countryside and have nice clear sky's (most of the time) with very little light pollution! Will have to don the warm clothing and get playing this weekend! Thanks for the inspiration! :thumbs: Mark
