    Memory cards

    I'm sure someone can give you a techy detailed breakdown about write speeds etc (probably be covered over on Rob Galbraith etc) however as a mark iv user, I use CF & SD cards and have never had any problems. I usually have camera set to automatically switch cards when one is full, that way you...

    Photography survey to help with my studies

    Done, assume you'll be using this to define the subject of your dissertation not to try and draw conclusions from it. Very closed questions and not really framing your questions to have valid quantitative or qualitative verfication if you are using for testing hypotheses.

    Junior events any issues?

    Often event organisers will keep a list of those taking photographs and ask that anyone wanting to take pictures signs on the list. Most don't have a problem with it and when challenged by a parent the "I'm signed up on the list run by the organisers" usually works well...

    Anyone with experience of Mud/Obsticle Events.

    If you're not already in this line of business are you sure you're not taking on more than you can deliver in the time available to the events? There are plenty of established companies around the country that specialise in this sort of thing - so at the very least have a look at the sort of...

    1D Mk 3 / 7D

    Might be worth getting the 7D checked out, I don't experience significant noise with a 7D shooting sports till around ISO1600 and even that can be easily fixed in post production in the range 1600 - 3200.

    Dual Monitor Color Calibration

    Just as a simple work around - if you have two monitors on one computer and want to use a basic Spyder monitor calibrator - which apparently won't let you calibrate them both...good news - it will. Turn off one monitor (like the right one) and reboot the computer. Run the spyder calibration -...

    Low res images..Be careful.

    two things here: 1. economics lessons: below a certain price it doesn't make a difference for event photography - it does not increase demand linearly: i.e. half the price = double the sales. This is not true. Conversely - if we consider photos to be a "luxury" product as defined in economic...
