    Are none formal academic organisations worth getting qualifications from?

    I was looking at The British Academy of Photography which isn't formally a college or university and they are accredited to BTEC for HNCs and HNDs in photography. For the HNC the home study is £1,195 which isn't bad at all compared to a college or university that would charge £9,000 for tution...

    Beginner HDR Question

    I wouldn't recommend doing a -3, 0, +3 as the difference between the exposures is too great. If you need that much dynamic range it might be better doing -4, -2, 0, 2, 4 . I have personally tried doing 3 stops difference and it didn't work out for me. I would recommend that you do at the most...

    Are there any good recruitment sites that advertise photography related jobs?

    I have been looking for possibly going for a photography assistant job and having been using job search sites like Reed.com, but to be honest they don't really host many photography jobs. Do any of you know of any good recruitment sites that offer photography style jobs other than the likes of...

    strangest thing you've ever photographed.

    The strangest or weirdest thing that I have photographed is myself. I have been doing photography as a hobby for like 8 years and have had no problems being behind the camera, but being in front of it doing my own portrait was one of the strangest and weirdest things I have done. I just felt...

    Thinking of 5D4 from 5D3 - Is it a no brainer?

    If the cost of betting the 5D4 is high for you then I'd seriously recommend that you rent the camera rather than jumping in then finding that you don't need it.

    Does shooting live view at sunset ruin the sensor?

    Probably an old question. I was wondering if shooting in live view with the sensor constantly exposed to the sun when doing sunsets, can it damage the sensor? I used to compose optically using the pentaprism but have found live view such a much better choice but am cautious about using it...

    Youtube reviews

    I quite like "The Angry Photographer". He doesn't have any affiliate links and appears to give an honest opinion.

    Is going from printing A3+ to A2 really a big jump?

    Happy new year all! Last year I got an A3+ printer love it to bits. I could see that there is a difference from A3 to A2, but not such a huge difference going from A3+ to A2 and was wondering is it worth actually going for A2 when you are already printing at A3+?

    Are dome diffusers worth it for speedlites?

    I've never used speedlites in my architecture photography before, might give it ago to see how it makes a change. Here is my portofolio if you don't mind me pimping. :D https://www.flickr.com/photos/118118485@N05/

    Are dome diffusers worth it for speedlites?

    To be honest I forgot about the focal length of the lens. 99% of my photography is architecture and I don't really use strobes much. I am going to use the same settings again then set the manual zoom on the speedlite to its widest and see if that makes things better. If not then try a...
