Actually got another question for you and this one may be a bit of a noob one so please bear with me. What are the benefits of getting an imported one over a UK, apart from price? For example, I know with other cameras that have good video functionality like the GH3, the time limit for...

Hi, I hope you are all happy with your shiny 70d's? I ask because I am thinking of joining your club, but am torn between the 60d and the 70d. I currently use a 40d which is great, so either would be a step up from what I have at the moment. The big selling points for the 70d are the dual...

Hi, Just started using Portrait professional Studio 64 on a mac. It has a huge tendency to over edit, but, with a few tweaks it gives some great image edits in a very short time due to the great auto edit function. It's by no means better than photoshop, lightroom, etc, but if you're in a...

Hi, I have the option of using either camera. I am using the 40d at the moment and love the camera, but I also have the option of using a family members 5d mark1. I know the 5d m1 is full frame and was top dog in its day (or there abouts), but the 40d is newer (I think) which means updated...

Just signed up for this - might see you there!

Hi Stephen, Here are a couple of images taken with the LED lights. Please ignore the creased backdrop... I only had a spare 30 mins and didn't have time to iron the sheet used! I have only played with the pics slightly in PP... not bad for £25 lights...

Hi all, So, after some time collating equipment, I actually had my first home studio session today taking portrait shots of my beautiful girlfriend. I ordered a YN flash which didn't arrive in time, so I tried using some £30 LED videography lights bought from Amazon I had ariund the house. (I...

Glad to hear its a good lens... Best lens I've ever owned bar none. So sharp and fast! Doing some proper shoots next week - very excited!!

Fair enough, newish to pro photography so the tips are most welcome. Actually have been doing a lot of video work where manual focus is the bread and butter due to the control videographers have over the time it takes to focus and what is focused. The switching from video head to photo head can...

Hi Jay, What I mean is that with manual focus you can choose what you focus on, rather than letting the camera choose. For example, if you had a model turned to the side with hands outstretched towards the camera, the AF would focus on the hands as they are closest to the camera, or depending...

Hi all, For portrait work, do you guys mainly use AF or manual focus? I know it depends on the shoot - so let's say that this is a controlled shoot in a studio with a professional model, so movement and outside issues are not as much of a concern. I know that there are advantages for...

Hi all, First time threader! Picking up this lens today...very excited! Using it with a 40D, and will be doing some portrait work very soon - mostly corporate studio stuff. How have people found the lens for this type of work? Also got a question: The 40D has a cropped sensor. As I...
