    Wireless image transfer direct to website

    Short answer, no. Long answer you would need a way to get photos from the camera to a pc/mac then upload them to your server. I've worked for events companies in the past where we had to wirelessly transfer up to 4000 images a day over a distance of about 1/4 mile (driving experiences). We used...

    Beginner How to emulate someone

    I've had a crack at replicating in LR. A close as I'll get for 5 minutes but I think the key for his style is using split tones, you can see what I've done in the screenshot RE split toning. That's whats giving the distinct warmth in the shadows and then there's some greens in the highlights. No...

    I looked into them @Kristian Armitage but was put off. You need something with a thick enough wall to not flex but also still be lightweight. Even with 2 combined you'd only be around 3m so personally I'd try for 3 if it does work!

    Planned to do a shoot with my mates T25 pickup before he sells it and as usual, the weather tried it's best to shut us down! Super windy with showers meant we were limited in time so only got one shot done! Still had fun though, first non-car for me so new struggle with the height of the van and...

    Nice shot, angle is a little funny for me the tilt and turn combo hurts my brain. Lovely backdrop and sharpness. Seen your shoot on instagram of Chris' R8 from dedication blog, great stuff - watch their videos on youtube now and then. Keep it up, great shots all round fella

    Nice quick video! I always shoot with the camera fully upside down out of habit, gives a lower angle and less of the rig in shot!

    I think it's actually an industrial water fed pole, more commonly used for washing windows. Fishing poles don't have the strength really, they're designed to flex. Water fed poles on the other hand are generally thicker sidewall and sturdier

    Great work as always fellas, Sammy that GTR shot (with the cup on the windscreen) looks a nightmare to PS out, will be interested in the results! Love the drift trike, saw that on facebook. Managed to get out today and rig a mates Ibiza TDI, trying to get images as sharp as possible with some...

    I'm a sucker for an R32, personal favourite car second to the R35 GTR! 2nd shot from the shoot, same composition pretty much, different background and editing style! VW Golf R32 by MattSmithh, on Flickr

    Latest from me! Been so busy with proper photography jobs lately not had time to get the rig out. With the nice weather lately I decided to spare half an hour today. Not 100% happy but getting sharper more reliable results now! VW Golf R32 by MattSmithh, on Flickr

    Simon, done some digging, you could get two shipped in the UK for £55.20 which is cheaper still than x1 from CCR (not sure about stock levels or anything just a quick search) http://www.ianirouk.com/product.php?ProductID=794 I'd look into these before the umbrella adaptors as for the price...

    Can't help but think there must be something out there that's similar at a lesser price than the CCR stuff. I'd imagine there's a similar piece of hardware out there for use with drum kits, to mount cymbals etc. You could try your luck here and go straight to the supplier but I'd assume after...
