    Stunning. Loving the panning technique too.

    Protection from the rain

    Get yourself a brolly and tonnes of gaffer tape and tape that brolly down on a tripod, and also slice up a carrier bag and pin it down with a lens hood. I have worked in insane rain conditions ad neither has let me down... The only issue I have found is keeping myself dry, and to be honest, I...

    Lens on or off?

    I am forever changing lenses, and 'yes', dust problems do occur... I combat it as much as I can by changing lenses in the open, and while the cameras are switched off to reduce static... a blower and frequent servicing takes care of what is out of your control...

    Taking pics in RAW...

    I shoot everything in RAW, both personal and commercially, and I never suffer from piles... Seriously, RAW is the way to go... Correction - There is an occasion where I shoot jpeg, and that is when I shoot for timelapse

    What are you photographing over easter?

    Might head up to Snowdonia for a couple of days; catch some landscape, star trails, and might take all my torches for some light shizzle :)

    How far are you willing to travel for that special capture.

    I travel anywhere if I think it's that 'one shot I must bag'. For personal projects, I have driven for about 9 hours straight to location without a pee break. Commercially, I have flown for 13 hours (lots of pee breaks)

    First attempt at light painting.

    It's widely accepted that this is more or less right... Illuminating a scene/object with a light source... Technically speaking, directing light at the lens used to 'draw' or 'paint' readdresses and reinvents the term, in my opinion. Man Ray created a series and called it 'space writing', and I...

    Landmark Experience - I just suffered "tog abuse"!

    I do tonnes of twilight/night shoots, and oft am I in receipt of a 'heckle', but not once, nay, never have I been subject to such a title as "Disgusting Peasant" :lol: :D

    Ultra Wide Angle lens for me hols

    The Canon 10-22 is a superb lens. The Sigma 10-20 is also very good at its job. I've tested both but found the Canon just inched ahead with colours and sharpness at the edges... is it worth the extra few bucks? Some would argue no, and if you intend to go FF any time soon, then you'll need to...

    Law in Action - BBC Radio 4: Sect 44 & Phot's Rights

    There's an easy solution to street/people/building photography which involves absolutely no hassle, guaranteed... Buy a van, plonk a 360 degree set up on the van roof... sorted. Alternatively, make a 'van' out of cardboard that sits below the camera and covers the tripod, and write 'google...

    Canon 5D MkII Hot Pixels

    It's weird; Cuthbert is right; it works for some, and not for others... it's never worked for me either :D but I do believe it works for some folk. I tried coaxing my hot pixels out with the promise of gifts and stuff, but they're having none of it :D
