Be gentle with me, iv'e been away from TP for at least 5 years. Dusted off the Leica M9 and getting ready to hit the streets again. 3 old shots for now. want to do an East end London project now.

I always give up but end up right back here again. I suppose in this day and age with millions of images floating around the Internet it doesn't help and can be quite disheartening seeing the same tired shots over and over again but then again it's a personal thing and you must just do your own...

You are probably right in that case Philip. Strange from Sony though as a brand i do like their equipment.

Just received my Canon 5D mk3, 100mm F2.8 is macro and MT24EX flash from them. Excellent service and quick delivery and I saved around £800 with them so very pleased. Matt

Hugh, I just need a few and I probably should have mentioned he is shooting with a 1D mk2 so as it's not full frame I think that should be doable.

Why would you be wary about supplying tiffs?

I should just point out that it will be going through NIK silver efex pro.

Hi, Would it be an unreasonable request to ask our wedding photographer for a selection of Tiffs as all the photos will be in colour and when i asked if there will be any edited in B&W he said that i could convert them. (He knows i am a photographer). Only thing is i don't want to convert jpegs...

I like the sound of this, I'm in Ipswich so very very close. Is your pub the Wilford bridge?

Hi, Can anyone recommend a decent laptop for Mrs Pragmatist to run LR4 and store her images, not images in their thousands i might add but 1TB and minimum 15.6" screen desirable and something around the £450 mark. Thanks, Matt

First try your local paper, this has always worked for me though the subject was specialised ie local wildlife. Submit to competitions, again this has lead to requests for my photos through this. Give these a go and i'm sure as long as your work is good enough then you will start to get noticed...

Give Alamy a look, not quite as hard as Getty to get submissions into.

I don't see your point, they are not saying that we can offload our expensive gear and use these, it's just another camera commercial :shrug:

I agree. Astronomy is great....when the skies behave that is ;)

Yep one here!
