    I’m going to be there, but I’m actually in two minds whether to take the camera this time or just enjoy the weekend.

    Black Friday Deals 2017

    I bought a Lee 105mm landscape circular polorising filter from wex, 30% off with the code FILTER30. Which made it just over £50 cheaper.

    I sent that email address a message a couple of days ago and it just bounced back a few minutes ago as undeliverable. I will give them a call Monday

    IS on or off on tripods?

    When shooting motorsport with the 100-400 handheld, I always found I had better results shooting with IS off, when I bought a 300mm f/2.8 I just carried on shooting with it off. Both these lenses are Mk1 versions, maybe the IS is greatly improved on the Mk2 versions especially with the third...

    canon 400 2.8 is - repair anyone had?

    Very intetesting and looks like they made an amazing job of that 400mm, i’m going to send them an email about servicing my 300mm and if they can support the lens repair wise for the foreseeable future then my lens isnt going anywhere because I love it

    canon 400 2.8 is - repair anyone had?

    Is it the same for the 300 2.8 mk1? Im undecided whether or not to chop it in but am not in a position to replace it with a mk2.

    Thanks Andy, I’m just experimenting with other types of photography as my gear just sits collecting dust over the winter normally

    Thomas Heaton

    I think Thomas’s videos are very inspiring, I stumbled across him a few weeks ago and enjoyed what I saw even though I previously had very little interest in landscape photography. Got me getting my camera out more rather than collecting dust until the next race meeting and have to say I am...

    Canon 7D mk2 owners thread.

    Altogether not enough photos on this thread considering how many of us must have 7Dmkii's. The more I use this camera the more I love it. Star Trail - Experiment by Roland Patrick, on Flickr Reflections - Worthing Pier by Roland Patrick, on Flickr Worthing Pier - Sunset by Roland Patrick, on...

    Budget kit thoughts.....

    Before my 7Dmkii I used a 50D and found it to be a fantastic bit of kit, so much so that I decided to keep it rather than sell it for such little money. Have a look at some of the flickr groups and you will see that it is still more than capable and in fact images are almost impossible to...

    Am I mad...

    So until recently I have mainly shot motorsport, airshows, bit of wind surfing etc and a couple of years ago I bought a second hand Canon 300mm f/2.8 mk1. I absolutely love this lens and but don't generally carry it around with me much as it is a big beast and not the best walk about lens and...

    All things related to Apple phones & tablets

    Updated to IOS 11 when it launched and have noticed a huge difference in battery life, basically it was draining way faster than it used to. Also noticed that the WiFi and Bluetooth seemed to automatically turn themselves back on. And then even with Bluetooth off my series 2 watch was still...

    The pain of photography

    Everytime i take the camera out I’m type 2 diabetic and suffer badly with periphal neuropathy, basically my legs feel like i have hiked 100 miles all the time. So carrying around a gripped 7dmk2 and either a 300 f2.8 or a tripod is stupidly painful, but on the rare occasion I get a nice photo...
