Well after a lot of advice and a restless night I did it. Its was a blustery and chilly day in Manchester (nothing new there then) but managed to get everyone outside for 15 mins albeit they couldn't wait to go back due to thin dresses and bare shoulders. I did however manage to get everyone...

Well that's food for thought, if I can get them out of the hotel there are some good urban locations nearby that would add some drama and provide a creative contrast to the normal romantic style of wedding pictures, which they don't want Thanks

Thanks for the much appreciated input, I do have a flash forgot to mention that. I realise the limitations due to the small number of guests, the fact that there is no wedding car, its in a city centre hotel with no gardens or natural surroundings nearby and the weather will probably be naff...

Thanks for the input Danny-bhoy I agree expectations are what it's all about I have talked to the couple and got some ideas of what they like informal/documentary style seems to be their preference and I have visited the venue. Not sure there will be much space to use the 70-200 Guess the...

Hi Just wanted a bit of help if possible. A friend of mine has asked me to photograph his daughter’s wedding, it’s one of those “my mates got a camera jobs” . Its low key, nothing fancy and only 10 guests and the couple don’t want to spend much so I said I would help them out. I have a Nikon...

Nothing with my camera as weather here in Stockport is a bit grim. Been playing around on photoshop though Trying to see what works and what doesn't

Good idea re the X30 and with Photokina only 6 weeks away its probably worth waiting to see what else is on the horizon. Thanks for your input .. wish there were more camera shops around to try gear out, they seem to be few and far between these days and a trip to Manchester seems to be the...

Cheers, I won't.

Hi there, this is my first post. Apologies if its in the wrong forum. I currently have a much used D7100 a rarely used D300 and a Fuji X10 which acts as my everyday, save lugging round a heavy payload, nice to put in a pocket, good for street photography type camera. I want to upgrade the X10...

In truth have been a member for a while but never really contributed although have often logged on seeking knowledge and information flow. Looking forward to spending more time on the forums and indeed learning from everyone. I do have a question which I should probably post in general as...

Hi there I cant seem to get the app on my iphone anymore, its just hangs and says the following .. the remote server sent an unknown response. This could be as a result of the forum software plugin being outdated. Tap the report button below to report issue etc etc ... When I do press to...

Let us know what you think Iffacus, I am considering a D7100, spookily from Calumet in Manchester Tempted to hold out a bit longer to see if the mythical D400 arrives, but the 7100 with the cash back deal sounds very appealing Thanks Phil
