Thanks Andy, that was the kind of helpful reply I was after rather than 'Buy Nikon' . The issue was simply "which of these 3 cameras will suit me best for what I'm doing?" I was leaning towards the 1Dmk4 anyway from net research and talking to a 1DX using wedding photographer. It was simply...

I fully accept that point Mark, about where most of the images end up. Some do get printed to 12x8 but rarely any bigger except for the occasional pull up banner but they will inevitably be the ones taken in good light anyway. The problem is that on a dark day in the depths of winter (now) the...

I've been using a 7D for many years to photograph rugby. The photos end up on our website at 150kb and to the local press at 3mb so there is little point shooting RAW, it's just a lot of hassle. The 7D has been a brilliant camera for my needs except for one aspect, that of low light performance...

The photos were shot mostly in a marquee with very poor ambient light levels on ISO 400 with a 7D & 17-55 IS 2.8 EFS USM using a Speedlite 430 with a gary fong collapsible diffuser. On reflection I could probably have got away with much lower ISO given that they were all flash illuminated. The...

That's really helpful, thanks very much

Thanks, The insert picture box seems to be asking for a URL rather than a straight upload, not sure what I'm supposed to do with that but I've posted it on the club website so you can access it and see what I'm talking about. My other option as far as the light reflection is concerned I suppose...

Hi Folks, I'm trying to restore some old photos (1930s) for my rugby club. I do not have the negatives to work from. Most are straight forward cloning tidying jobs but a few are not. The chemical composition seems to have broken down on some of these really old ones and there is an oily...
