Hi Garry - thanks for the feedback. The highlight on the right is quite 'hot' - I was hoping, the 'homemade' diffuser would soften it somewhat and also help to create the light graduation across the face of the body. I think (as you suggest), moving the light source away will help this ? The...

I had a go at this, but with a slightly different type of knife. I think the principle is the same - shoot something shiny ! Took quite a while messing around with different 'inventions' (e.g. even made a homemade snoot at one point), but ended up with something relatively simple. Godox V860...

Thanks Mick - just ordered the Snowdonia book :) (FYI - It looks like the order has gone through (received confirmation emails), but after the Paypal process completed and it returned me to the Fotovue website, it went to a 'non-existent' page with a 404 error. You may want to check this as I...

Some nice examples there - thanks! I guess it would be nice to see an 'official definition', but I think it is one of those things that is too open to interpretation. I just wanted to think of something a little different, but dont want to overstep the boundaries ! @Harlequin565 - I tend to...

Our next local Photography Club competition is 'Still Life'. Is there any 'definition' of this or is it simply just a bowl of fruit/flowers ? e.g. Is product photography included (macro shot of wrist watch, some photoshopped pic of some Nike trainers on fire (is fire 'still'??), etc.)? Curious...

As above - DIY it. I have just done my D810 with a kit off Amazon (swabs and fluid - £18). Took around 5 swabs to clean it, but it is spotless now. Thinking about it is more stressful than actually doing it ! Just take your time, ensure the battery is on full charge (so the mirror stays locked...

Mike - I have given up on this. I have not heard anything back from Tony since my last post. I think the issue is GMail. I know they have pretty stringent mail rules/configuration (I know because it took me a while to sort out my other websites). He uses a site called 'e-junkie' to fulfil his...

Thanks Fras - the Tokina is a great lens and is built for DX cameras. I used it on my D7100 and am currently using it on my D810 (it will do 16mm on full FX mode without vignetting, but anything less and the corners start to 'close in'). It may be for sale in the New Year (along with some other...

Just had contact from Tony - he has sent/resent the links to my email address, but still nothing has come through. Reckons it may be some sort of email filter issue. Anyway - I have asked him to send them straight to my gmail account, rather than through my domain host (which is forwarded to...

Thanks guys - I have just tried to contact him again via Facebook messenger, but it pointed me back to his website contact form. So I have filled that in again....... Mike - what happened when you purchased the panel - I clicked on the button, etc. and it went to Paypal which all went through...

I like TH - he comes across as a genuine, professional guy. His videos are good, although they do tend to follow a 'classic' formula (walking, intro, more walking, drone footage, walking, couple of photos) - it seems to be a tried and tested layout which is *maybe* getting a little stale these...

Thanks Elliott - I have checked my Spam folders, etc. but no sign of anything from Tony. I will hang on a few more days as you may be correct in that he could be on holiday or out and about with his camera. Cheers.

Bit of a long shot, but does anyone have any contact with Tony Kuyper? I ordered his Photoshop TK Actions from his website whilst they were on Black Friday discount (ordered on the 26th November). The order process did not ask for any of my details and I paid via Paypal (so assumed he would get...

In TH's last but one video, he gave his views on the new Canon EOS-R mirrorless (that he tested in Iceland). His experience was enough for him to state that he was going to move away from Canon !! He says he will now test 'other makes' with a view to making a decision in the New Year. In his...

I have just had the same problem. I bought a new PC and installed LR and PS. When using the 'Edit in Photoshop' from LR option, it opens up PS, but all the PS menu's are greyed out and there is very limited functionality. As Keith B states........the solution is to open up Photoshop BEFORE you...
