    Tripod suitable for Canon's 70-200mm MKII lens.

    I currently use a 5D MKII and I've recently purchased a 70-200mm f2.8 L IS II USM lens, my next major purchase is a tripod suitable for mounting this lens. I don't currently own a tripod, probably a major photographic faux pas, but that's by the by, if anyone here on the forums could suggest a...

    What does it mean to be a photographer these days?

    What does it mean to be a photographer these days?

    I don't recall saying punctuation marks upset me, but your apology is very welcome. You're entitled to your opinion, I would never deny somebody that, where I do take issue however is your sweeping statement about other people's opinions, despite evidence to the contrary. Anyway back to the...

    What does it mean to be a photographer these days?

    What does it mean to be a photographer these days?

    if there has been a misunderstanding of what I meant, I can only imagine it came from a poor choice of words on my part in the first place to lead to any confusion or misinterpretation, I wasn't for a moment suggesting that the idea of people taking images of nights out or of themselves, or any...

    What does it mean to be a photographer these days?

    I find myself in a weird love hate relationship with photography, though it's probably more accurate to say photographers, as blaming an inanimate object isn't the most rational way to pass the time, but I digress, I was viewing my tumblr blog about 20 or more minutes ago and there was the usual...

    A rather good price, a rather sceptical buyer

    Hi Graham, just to confirm are you saying both of them are connected to the "Yorkshire Cameras" scam sites or just the online-technology one?

    A rather good price, a rather sceptical buyer

    The 70-200mm f2.8 IS II USM, has been at the top of my must have lens list for quite a while now and I'm finally finding my funds creeping close enough to buy it which for me is incredibly exciting, I've found a couple of websites which offer said lens for what I would consider, as a synical...

    "I am not a terrorist!", "Photography is not a crime!" - The fightback starts here...

    I saw this on the news earlier today, its fantastic that atleast things have eased a little. Let hope this does improve things for us or at the very least stops the victimisation of harmless photographers.
