Over the past few years I've been the main photographer at a number of weddings and events but mostly doing favours for friends and family. I've now taken the step to turn this into a business with working full time as a photographer as my end game. I'm at the point where I need to invest in a...

Fixed! I used some pointed tweezers to lift the rubber wheel then a hair clip to apply some super glue. I span the wheel a few times to spread the glue evenly and 10 minutes later it's working. Thanks again for the link Andy :)

Hi Andy, Thanks for the link. I'll see how tricky it looks and report back.

My trusty 40D has thrown up a issue. The top wheel near the shutter release button has stated playing up. It's turns freely but only 'clicks' sometimes. Most of the time it turns smoothly, and when this happens the camera settings don't change. I've tried turning it slowly or quickly but the...

Thanks for the replies :) I'll look into what's been suggested.

I'm looking for a home studio lighting setup. The main use would be for portraits and headshots for actors/models. I can stretch to around £200 at the moment and would look to expand after I've gained more experience with lighting etc. I'll be using a Canon 40D as the main body so looking...

Thanks for the link Adrian :)

Is there a boarder plugin withing LR3? I've got it coming soon :)

That's great Jimmy. I really need to get Mogrify sorted for adding boarders.

I'm going to upload some test pictures as I think it would be interesting to see what people think of the quality at different levels.

I'm looking for information on the optimal settings for exporting a photograph to the web and for print. Usually for the web I set the maximum length to 1024 pixels, jepg with 300DPI and 100% quality. However this leaves most files being around 400K. I've lowered the quality to 50% and not...

I can borrow a trigger from a friend :) Going to ebay now!
