Excellent, Thanks guys ;-)

Hi guys, I was wondering if you could advise on a setup or a website i can view that will for my sports photography enable me to capture pictures from a second camera while i sit many feet away. Could you advise on a reliable remote/Trigger model for a Canon camera? and how do i control when my...

Thanks for your reply @TonyHall I'll have to have a read up on the live ingest folder. Seems the best option for me here. Thanks for your time

Hi guys I wonder if anyone knows and could possibly help? Taking pictures and looking back on the screen I lock the photos I like so when I take the card out, place it in my laptop and let Photo Mechanic download my selected (locked) images. Is there a way to speed workflow up a little so I...

Thanks for your time guys. I couldn't reset this shutter lock feature and although canon suggested clearing the camera settings it wouldn't. Ended up posting it to Fixation in Kennington, London who in all are charging me £250 (Which i half expected was the going rate) to tell me the components...

As ever enjoying reading your experiences! Ever since getting my 1D3/1D4 I've always ignored this micro adjustment lens menu feature. Didn't understand it so placed it in the too hard box. From responses i think whichever method we choose it's worth the effort to get accurate focus and a sharper...

Hi All, My Canon 1D3 has just started to show what i can only describe as a "shutter" symbol on the back of the main camera menu. Not surprisingly the shutter isn't doing what it should? Do you know if i am able to fix?... Or do i have to send this back to Canon now :confused: Could anyone...

Cheers guys! I'm after a leg up and trying to check all the boxes to make sure my equipment is all good before putting blame on myself. ;) I think this is worth looking into and on Amazon Lens Calibration devices as stated range from cheap to.... HOW MUCH?!!?... but none more expensive than...

Always ignored this feature on my 1D3/1D4 should i take time and with the necessary lenscal cards and take time to adjust this AF Micro Adjustment to avoid mis focussing? I don't do much portrait work but do shoot wide open for sport. Thing is I've seen some kits as cheap as £3.90 up to £50 on...

I like your think thinking @StewartR... Great logic probably worth me looking at. Probably obvious to some but I overlooked this theory so thanks! I know it opens up a new debate of RAW vs JPEG and what photographers should use but I can't see a photographer being happy with 'every' picture...

What a great comment very true as someone not really in this type of work or suppose fully understands. This is still above my pay grade, apart from finding out the hard way is there a photographers black list of agencies not to go near then? As for GETTY IMAGES for example I can see an...

At the moment I am photographing sports and at this time of year under venue flood lights I find I have a few issues afterwards which is baffling me and hopefully anyone could advise? Although a RAW fan and process these at leisure fine for speed I'm shooting Jpeg and save the RAW files for my...

We can all see the fee paid to the photographer for usage in papers or websites is quite honestly laughable but on a more serious note... Why is this paid fee so low?? hardly softens or justifys the blow for the amount spent buying the kit, travelling too or from venue, time away from...

Hi TP Im just asking your opinion on i suppose on third party equipment in this case Lenses. In an ideal world buying manufactured and a named brands you'd expect the best, It'll come with a good reputation and customer support but in this world is third party equipment getting a raw deal? Is it...
