Ok looks like I should be going for flash. My budget is around £120-£170. If anyone has any recommendations around those prices that would be great.

Thanks guys. I think I'm going to stay clear of flash until I'm in a proper studio environment. For now I just want an easy set up for the house. One or two soft boxes...

Thanks Phil. Do you have any recommendations? Thanks

Hello all, After the recent birth of my little girl I have become almost addicted to taking snaps of her. I'm now wanting to enhance my skills with newborn/baby photography. I have only been using natural light source through windows within the house, however when winter arrives the light will...

Thanks all for your advice and words of inspiration. First I may start with friends and family to get my 'style'. Both location and editing. Then hopefully I can boost my people confidence at the events such as tattoo conventions and comic con. I'm also going down to my local zombie walk...

Hi all. Recently I have been diving into all sorts of photography. Sports, aviation, wedding, music. None of which have really excited me. Whenever I'm browsing the net, instagram, flickr or here I find myself looking at peoples portraits. I feel i would really love to get stuck into taking...

I would rather continuous light. Just for pure ease more than anything.

It's for taking along to events such as weddings. When I go as a guest I'm asked to take some snaps, for them and for my portfolio benefit. (No pro wedding photography) but I'd like a reasonable light for indoor shots such as the ceremony room, reception room, bedrooms and the pub before hand...

Unfortunately they are a tad out of my price range. It won't see a great deal of use so something under £100 like the manfrotto ml120

Can anyone recommend an off camera handheld light? I saw a photographer using one at a recent wedding during the evening reception....should of asked him but hey ho I didn't. I've looked at the Manfrotto ML120 Pocket Light...? Phil

Hopefully I will be able to land gigs at venues like Rock City more often. I've not used my 24-105 for any gigs yet, not sure how it will handle in Rock City. Have you shot there before? I will most likely hold out for the 70-200. May add a 50mm 1.4 whilst I am waiting. Thanks for your...

I've just converted to canon and want to add some kit to my 7d Mark ii and 24-105 f4. Main purpose will be concert photography. I'm booked on a few gigs, the wombats Monday night at Nottingham's Rock City, Wheatus next and then the Kooks back at Nottingham. Ideally I'd like to get the 70-200...

Your right, the whole city is a great location. I particularly liked going up the Rockefeller at night, gives you amazing views of the city all lit up inc the Empire State and the world trade in the background. Liberty Island ferries are great and cheap. Get you to the Statue of Liberty and...

I think I'm going to a 7d Mark ii. I'm always going to want to switch so I may aswell, no harm in going back the other way if I don't get on. Friends are all on canon and I was told originally to go with canon so I have the option of borrowing glass from them.
