I was! To be fair, I think they only agreed because I wanted to try the lenses at a photo workshop that happened to be run by one of their ambassadors. Had it been any other workshop, they probably would've said "No"

Thanks Matt :) I got lucky and was able to borrow a 300mm 2.8 and the new 200-400mm from Canon for a day. Have to say that I'm torn as to which lens to get now!

Thank you for pointing out that I'd used the HTML instead of BBCode. Easy when you know how!

Portrait of a Golden Eagle (captive) by Pui Hang, on Flickr Ah! That did the trick! Thank you MWHCVT :)

Just tried to upload an image but when I preview the post I just get a broken image link?

What do you class as a studio meet? I don't own a studio but would like to make people aware of photo days that my husband and are organising - does the rule still apply? BTW, I did try using the Contact US as requested but so far no one has gotten back to me :(

Hi, I shoot in RAW only. Thanks!

Hello, long time lurker on the forum :) I finally took the plunge a couple of weeks ago and bought the 1Dx (gulp!) to replace my 7D. As much as I loved my 7D, the noise whenever I went above 800 ISO was starting to annoy me. I used the 1Dx in anger in Bavaria and it worked beautifully...

Hi, Sorry for resurrecting this thread. I recently bought a macbook pro because I had heard great things about Aperture. It's crashed on me a few times which I am finding annoying but my biggest problem now is that I can't export any of my photos! Does anyone know a fix for this? I'm...

Hi :wave:, I've been lurking here for a while and have finally decided to bite the bullet and register! Photography became a hobby while I was out in India last year. My preference is for photographing animals. I've also started to blog about the places I've visited to take photos. I...
