Have you seen the Canon "Try the kit" hire scheme?? Pick a hire period over a bank holiday and get more days with the kit above the normal free "Sat/Sun" hire period. If you are lucky they will call and say "can we send the kit a day early" :) Very efficient service if you can afford to be in...

There are quite a few useful features in Canon DPP that are now behind a pay wall. I use LR but every so often I have a dabble in DPP - the other week I was looking at "in focus" focus points to try to improve my technique. I'll be stopping one of our many video streaming services before I...

They printed this for me 51*24 inches D

Nice Christmas present - I've had mine since 2022 and almost 25K images, the autofocus will look like magic compared to your 70D - especially the subject tracking modes. Be prepared to do lots of image culling if you use the higher speed drive modes, it's really easy to shoot way more images...

I've just come back from the Wildlife Photographer of the Year exhibition at the Natural History Museum and what caught my eye apart the the stunning images on display was the method of display itself. Back lit images that just jump out of the frame with the depth of colour and sharpness...

I'm now lucky enough to be the owner of a sparkly new Canon 200-800 RF lens and due to Canon's refusal to fit Arca Swiss style grooves on their tripod feet I am looking for a plate. I have found several different designs, all have pros and cons, but I wondered if anyone on here has experience...

I had my two cars on a joint policy with LV. Come renewal - unacceptable increase Went onto Comapre The Market and got 2 separate quotes one for each car - get this from LV - cheaper than the joint policy quote they had given me. Phoned them up to give them the chance to lower their joint...

Don't forget Palau Güell Early Gaudi building with a surprise on the roof!! David

I struggled with exposures like this for years when using film until I started to do a few things, in order of cheapness Meter off the palm of your hand, just hold it in front of your lens so you get a blurry pink viewfinder - then from his meter reading add one stop of exposure. This is not...

Great to see you back on TP Gary, I remember following avidly your path to running a successful photography business. These are great pictures, makes me wonder why I would bother to carry round a bag full of FF DSLR and lenses, I'm guessing this was quite an expensive phone?? D

If you really don't like it Think Tank have a 30 day returns policy

I recently bought a Back Light 26L and am very happy with it, the build quality is very good and hopefully it will last along time. I would have liked a few more outside accessible pockets as almost everything has to go "IN" the bag - can't have everything Main point about the Back Light is...

I had always wanted an EOS 1Dmk4 and last year managed to buy a very nice one for £325 from LCE in Linclon (not London prices it would seem) I absolutely love it and have used it quite a lot, it's no match for the image quality of my 5Dmk4 but the auto focus is very good considering it was...

Having watched a video about the implementation of text driven AI edits in the recent version of Photoshop I had reason to try it out almost straight away. My wife sent me this "can you get rid of the distracting swirly disco lights" I thought "that's beyond my skill in PS" but I gave the AI...

Spotting this GM EV1 in a trailer for some random film (actually called Crazy/Beautiful but that's not the point) :) These cars date from 1996, so a long time before the current love fair with all things electric and the story of the development and termination of the project is rather...
