Hello all. I have wracking my (admittedly) small brains trying to identify a photobook. I read about it a while on a website with a black background. The basic gist of the book is that the photographer has photographed everyday, first world city but done it in such that it looks like...

There is a lot of good stuff out there just now. I just got the Yokota book site and it has blown me away. Look at photobookstore.co.uk Your credit card will tremble!

Floating my boat right now are Daisuke Yokota Antoine D'agata Stephen Shore Paollo Pellegrin Trent Parke And my all time fave Daido Moriyama

Thanks guys. I will try that. It was pretty cold out during my shoot so I changed batteries for a fresh pair and all returned to working order. I will scrub those contacts as well. Cheers.:clap:

Hey all, I am maybe doing something weird here. I have an EOS 7D and the official battery grip. When out shooting today I noticed that, with the grip switched on, I could no longer use the dials on the camera body to control shutter and aperture when shooting in manual mode. The dial on the...

Ricoh GR's are brilliant. I have the GRD IV which has blown me away and I am now saving for the GR (don't tell the missus!) Honestly, though, the images you can squeeze out of these cameras is stupidly impressive. The menu system and button layout is probably the most sensible, configurable and...

Hmmm, I have a nice wedge of clams sitting here that I intend to spend on a studio strobe set up. Basically I am on the horns of a dilemma, do I stick with a tried and tested two head softbox setup or do I go for a one head with battery for field work. My choices are either the Lastolite...

Hey all. Simple question with (I hope) a simple answer. I am looking to buy a decent studio style strobe and battery pack. Seen the inerfit 150 and battery pack but reviews haven't been that favourable. Any ideas for up to £450? Something with 200w/s or above would be preferred. I...

I like it, pretty clever stuff.

Guys, thanks for the replies. I am purely looking to discuss kit here rather than insurance. I am an experienced photographer with good business sense and have found a definite niche worth exploiting. I was interested to see what other wedding photographers used. I should have mentioned I...

Hey all. I am getting to the point where people are asking me to do photos for them and it won't be long before I start doing weddings. My (Canon) kit is in need if an upgrade. I was thinking of the following for doing weddings. I plan to shoot mainly with natural light. Any comments...

The Lowepro Stealth Reporter series is worth a look. I got one a few weeks ago and it has been a really handy bag. The flap pretty much zips off which makes lens changes in the field a doodle. Really well padded too.

Hi everyone, I am looking at a new lens and need some help, but first a little info. I have a Canon EOS 40D with two lenses, a Sigma 10-20mm and a Canon 50mm f1.4 (which is pretty much welded to the body). I am looking into getting a fast prime which is close to a 50mm EFL on my body...

The simplest trigger is an optical slave often known as a peanut. It looks like a black dice with a small, opaque dome on one side. This fits to the bottom of your flash and when another flash is fired (ie the one in your camera) the optical slave triggers the flash it is fitted to. They cost...
