Thank you - I didn't realise they were different, I have now and will see if that helps. Yes it's built in, yes it's a D750, and yes, it didn't seem to make any difference.

Hi all, it's been a while! I have recently inherited a D750 and I'm having real problems using it. No matter what I do, it's insisting I use the flash - even on the brightest of bright and sunny days. At first I thought I must be doing something wrong (I've only used Sony before and this is...

Aw thank you! I really enjoy doing it. It's a perfect combination of technicality and creativity... much like photography in that sense. Thank you, that's all really helpful. Definitely don't want any finger damage - that would make the knitting part of the job rather difficult. Good to...

Thanks - I can easily black out the windows / doors if need be, which might be a simpler solution. I usually do a few test shots with the item on a mannequin before jumping in myself; it's not quite the same, but gets me close enough. Like in the movies when they use a stand in for lighting...

Thank you, this is pretty much the list I'm working with. You mentioned that stands should be the right height for my space. How can I work out what that height is?

I think that depends on the quality of the wig as much as anything else.

Ooh thank you very much! Now to get access...

That's what I do now. In the photo I posted I've used the 2 second delay and palmed the remote, it's in my right hand. I have previously shot tethered with a laptop, but these days I have a desktop, and I can't really move it into the kitchen (nor is there space to shoot in my office). I can...

I hear what you're saying. I don't disagree with you. I'm simply saying that I do not have any other options right now, and I have to do the best I can with the situation I have. I would LOVE to have a huge range of samples in different sizes and the most diverse collection of models to shoot...

Thank you so much for all the advice! Gear stuff: Sony a77, 50mm f1.4, 35mm f1.8 (I vastly prefer the 50, but have used the 35 when shooting in smaller spaces) This shot was with the 50, the shot of the space was from my phone. The room is over 30 feet long, but I have about 14 feet of it...

Hi everyone. Long time reader, first time poster. Please, go gently! I have been taking photos for years, but mostly a reportage style. For the last couple of years I've been taking more studio style photos for my work as an independent knitwear designer. Between severe discomfort on the wrong...

Thanks for the warm welcome, everyone!

Hi everyone, I'm new here and wanted to introduce myself quickly. I'm Victoria, a knitwear designer in Surrey. Photography used to be a hobby for me years ago, and now it's one part of running my own business. I take photos either of my knitting-in-progress, or me modelling the finished item...
