Have started to play around with long exposures and wondering why the built in exposure time is limited to a maximum of 30 seconds. Would be good not to have to rely on bulb mode and a remote. Anyone know the answer? And if any camera allows for longer exposures? Stephen

Thanks for this info, can always rely on TP people. Just reading these posts make me eager to get there. And interesting to see Garve mentioned as that is the nearest village to where we are staying. Fingers crossed for some photogenic weather.

Off to visit friends in Garve, north west of Inverness, in March, and starting to look for locations around there that would be good for landscape and wildlife photography. Quite prepared to drive and walk to get to locations for sunrise/sunset as needs be. As it will be my first ever visit to...

Sounds like you want to use the Adaptive Wide Angle filter. Lots of YouTube videos on this, but I like this one View: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QZFfJgRVqrE

Why not pick up the excellent Photographing Dorset book from fotoVue. More than enough locations to keep you going for awhile. Not linked to them just enjoy there books

Very useful. Didnt know of some that are local to me. Thanks for taking the time to post

Forget the weather, just go out. If you get a good picture, great. If you dont, you have got some fresh air, walked some and will feel better for it. And maybe seen something you can go back and photograph on a better day. And weather changes in an instant - I am sure we all have moments when we...

I jump around a bit. Camera calibration, lens correction, cropping, basic panel, details. Wish you could re-order the panels would save having to scroll down then up.

I think the confusion is that the coupon is called 'free shipping coupon' when shipping is free anyway. It just takes 15% off the book price, and you get free shipping. So in the end you only pay £21.25 inc delivery. I cant see where any other confusion in this is.

Worked for me when I pre-ordered the Dorset book

Forget Photoshop for the time being, keep it simple by doing your editing in Lightroom. I would try out Oliver's suggestions and then adjust for each individual image. If you find yourself always doing the same (or similar) changes I would create a preset in Lightroom, lets call it 'Quick...

If I had seen this earlier I would have been up for this. Did a Panasonic one at Kew Gardens a couple of years ago and didnt think I would enjoy it as much as I did.

As lovely as it is, that is quite an old shot. Hasnt looked like that for a few years unfortunately. The new development around Battersea is going to ruin the reason it was such an iconic building - it isnt just the towers, it is the fact it stood alone on the banks of the Thames. Some...

Richmond Park cull is November (females) and March (males). Bushy Park cull is September (males) and November (females). All gates are locked from 10pm (approx) until 8am (but in reality it is about 7.30am) when the vehicle gates open (at least for BP). This is Monday to Friday. Saturday and...

I have the Creative Cloud subscription. Basically Lightroom is cataloging software that has some editing capabilities. You add your raw photo to the library, add some keywords, and do some editing. Those keywords and editing steps are held in the database, and are applied to the raw photo when...
