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...

Hahaha very true ! it would take somebody fairly exceptional or exceptionally good at lying to say they'd come home from a trip out or a shoot without a dozen or more blunders, over or underexposed, blury etc images :)

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...

I'm not sure if you were intentionally using sarcastic quote marks to reference everything in your post or not but on this point about only liking pictures because they are old, you seem to have either not read the OP or missed what some of the other posters here have said, it's quite frankly a...

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...

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...

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...

Okay awesome :) sign me up I'll start from this saturday :) and catch up the others as I go !

Hi there, as a late arrival to the 52-fest, do I pick up from the current theme or do I go back cover the old themes upto the current one or wait till next year lol ?

Well now I've had my trusty old D50 for the better part of 4 years or so now, and soon will be upgrading to a D300s, I've been using a shoulder bag "bens pizza bag" I think its called for all this time also. The long and short of it is as I am going to be stepping up my photography and...

hahaha fantastic, incongruity theory at its best, i figured he was going to bump into the camera man, didnt see the pool coming at all!

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.

I won't be wasting the op, I just put 5am as a rough estimate, I can google the sunrise time for tomorrow.

Toggy, toggy, toggy, oi, oi, oi ! Hello hello, hope everyone is doing well this summer season. I havent posted in a little while and have decided before going out and taking the pictures I have in mind, that I would come here as a first port of call and get some advice from the pros. My...
