Thanks for the excellent advice, I assume noone else has replied because you have captured everything.

Thanks for your help, unfortunately I don't have any flash gels. I've got a flash diffuser which I'll use. I think I'll probably use my 50mm lens at f/4, although the 24-105 has image stablising so might be better, what do you think? [EDIT]: OK so your edit answered this already! hah The...

Hello all, Tonight it's Nottingham night light and there are going to be lots of buildings illuminated in nice colours and also some street acts throughout the evening. I'm going to take my tripod for some long exposure shots of the buildings but I'm stuck for settings to float around on with...

This is part of my market research... ;)

Hello all, There is a potential for me to have some images published in a local magazine that focuses on youth culture and all things hip and cool such as gadgets, music etc. The brief given by the editor is somewhat.. err.. brief, so was hoping for some inspriation from fellow minded...

As easy as that?? And here's me trying to go all complicated with the custom functions!!

Hello all, can someone explain how I can do this on my 5D mk2 please? Imagine the camera is in Av or Tv, I'd like to use the back button to meter my scene, this will then not move when I re-compose my picture. I then focus and take the picture. I assume it's a custom function but I just...

Yeah that's the kind of effect I had in mind.

OK cheers guys, thanks for the help :) I've been doing a lot of reading around filters etc, but they are mega expensive - especially the Lee filters. Which brand are considered the next best from Lee Filters for a full frame camera? I'll probably be using my 24-105mm F4 L lens

Which filters are considered best value for money?!

Hello all, I want to get some shots to give the impression of a busy high street, by this I'm wanting people walking around the high street to be a big blur, with a focal point (i.e. a shop or market stall) the main subject. How can I achieve these results? I'd obviously need a tripod...

This is a good example of a person Landscapes maybe something like this There was a great pic of 2 kids facing each other lying on some grass that looked naturally lit and fantastic exposure but I can't find the image at the moment. Sticking to the pic I first posted, what would you of...

Thanks for the fast feedback. It's an OK pic but just doesn't jump out at the screen to me. It looks like any old picture someone could take rather than a professional (which I don't claim to be but want to be able to take pictures to a professional standard!). I see a lot of pictures...

Right... I'm back with an example pic, sorry it took a while I was installing windows 7 and it took me a while to get all my programs back installed! 1/200th sec f5.6 ISO200 In this scenario using the Sunny-16 rule what would you do?

tdodd that sunny-16 tip is goldust, exactly what I've been looking for. How did you get the watermark with the EXIF details, I'll sort a pic out using the same format as you then you can see the histogram etc. Cheers :)
