I too can recommend this -- used it for years, its a great piece of software.

I agree with this one! I took some shots of my sister in law the other week (for a Christmas pressie), and although the lighting was good and the shots came out as I wanted, she was very tense in front of the camera. Funny really, I've known her a long time, but she was VERY camera shy. On...

This is what I'm considering ... I'm not happy with the 400d's noise - how does it compare? I'd love to see some side by side shots to compare the two ...

I'm trying them this week for the school sheets - and I've got EVERYTHING crossed. These will be last minute gifts for the parents. God, I hope everything turns out ok! Edit: Just to add to this, I was a little disappointed that I had to post my images for the school prints and couldn't upload...

And here is the definitive guide to the white background photography technique mentioned in this post: http://www.talkphotography.co.uk/forums/showthread.php?t=97394 HTH

Don't know Matt .. An invoice usually covers cost between parties where there has been an agreement that work should be carried out. Problem is, I guess if you volunteered the image, they may say that they understood there was to be no monies exchanged. They have already had, and used...

I would say that the chance has passed, unless they re-print the picture with your accreditation. I'm not sure from a legal standpoint - if you can prove that the information was specifically requested when it was passed over, maybe a three line apology on the back of page 27 will be all you...

It is a great guide ... I love the one strobe on the floor technique as well - very cool! It is a permanant fixture in my favs!

I feel the gloomy economy may have something to do with it, and also these little people that go mad on 25th this month every year - What's that all about!?

Before I bought my flash from eBay, I looked into the Jessops flash, and read that the Jessops flash that it has sync issues -- there is some threads over on Practical Photographer ... People have been complaining that it only syncs 5 out of 10 times!

I have one of these, got it about three weeks ago. Its great for bouncing light, but because there is no control over the level of flash, its not very practical for direct flash. There is a bounce card on the flash head though, and if you angle the flash head to 35 degrees and use the...

Hey, better to be via post than email. I post all my junk mail back to keep the posties in work! Card on its way ...

I did post about these some time ago. It appears that they are not at all from a UK seller, not even Europe, but the stock is located in Hong Kong. I think it's sometimes a case of buyer beware. I took delivery of my lightbox...

Hi all, I'm sure this will have been asked before, and probably cleared up but I couldn't find anything in the search relevant. If I take portrait / wedding pictures and provide a printing service as well, who is the legal owner of the pictures? Does ownership get passed on when they...

This seems to be a hot topic at the moment, and I've been reading this excellent 5 part guide which may help out. So, here is the definitive guide: http://www.zarias.com/?p=71
