A bit late I know, but ive been using Lastolite Lumen8's for 2 1/2 years now in a pro studio environment. They have overheated twice in the 2 1/2 years, first time I was shooting Volcom's Spring Range (500 garments/5000 images over x2 12 hour days) so they were nearly constantly firing for 9...

Hi All, I regularly use a D300 in my studio at work and I shoot around 400 images a day. I shoot tethered to Aperture on a PowerMac via USB, I sync to 3 studio strobes via 1 sync cable and I shoot on batteries (I did use the power cable but this became worn and snapped due to movement so i stick...

Ive had a go a couple of times in PP. Im the same i couldn't buy a film camera and get it processed but if you manage to get some good shots on a DSLR you can do a few tweaks in PS to give a lomo look! You can even add light burns in as well as most of the old Lomo cameras leaked light to a...

Thanks everyone, occasionally i like to wax lyrical! Lol! Each to their own, but in the flesh outside the Monte Carlo Casino, i was pretty bowled over!

I work as a tog full-time and im colourblind, I am Deuteranopic which is very common (Affects 1% of all males) I have a deficiency to Red and Green. I struggle to notice Greens, in low light they may appear black! Red's can be a bit...Nuclear, shall i say, but not all the time? And if i see Red...

You could set up a little corner of a room with some cardboard boxes and stick a camo net to the wall (you can get them in camping shops and army surplus shops, even maybe fishing shops?) so you have some background and drape it over the boxes, maybe put a dead tree branch from outside in the...

I worked as an assistant for 3 years to a pro who is now retired and it was some of the hardest yet rewarding work ive ever done. I can't tell you what will happen because everytime was different but you need to relax, you need to be fully charged and you need to be quick...very quick! Working...

Mercmanuk, I can understand your frustration and i may also be able to explain slightly. Ive participated in a life drawing course as part of my college diploma and we regularly had a middle aged, curvy, fuller figured model. I once asked my teacher "Why can't we draw young, slim, pretty...

Thanks JohnF, your image looks really nice and crisp, what did you shoot it on if you don't mind me asking? You've definitely got me swaying towards the 24mm side more! I think based on what ive seen and read im gonna go with the 24mm, I figured i can use my UWA at 20mm if needs be. Ill get a...

Hi All, I have been without a kit lens for a year now and have been forced to use my 35mm f1.8 AF-S prime everywhere i go and i have actually fell in love with it, i love the crispness and the fact i can use it in low light and it's also light and small. With this in mind i have decided to...
