I’m sorry but I have to take exception to KeithAlanK’s last comments (02.00). You ask has it not occurred to automaton2 that critiques go both ways. I can’t see anywhere where he is objecting to...

This is a tricky subject. I have a 50mm @ 1.4 and an 85mm @ 1.8 as prime lenses but it’s my 17-55mm @ 2.8 that I leave on my camera for general work. At the time these were bought you couldn’t bu...

TELL ME ABOUT IT!!!! I too go through phases of hating my own work. I know I'm over critical, but when it's your own work you are aren't you? What always gets me is just when I'm feeling better about...

I agree with wedding shooter. It's superb. I would mount it as you have shown it, on canvas block-mounted without a frame.

All RAW files are different between cameras. If you have software that preceeds the issue of the camera then it is unlikely to accept them straight away. Have you downloaded the software that comes wi...

another effect is to bend the letters as if they were printed on the cuirtain. If you still have it saved in photoshop layers try looking up "displacement maps". It should show you how to do it.

I use a Wacom tablet with wireless mouse and pen. I use the pen for cloning and shading but when using the photoshop pen tool I find the mouse easier to work with.

clicked on the link and went straight in. no problems

Someone being photographed outside a nightclub when they are off there heads is one thing. But a lot of people don't seek this kind of publicity and are quite happy to just get on with there lives, so...

It's a known function on most nikon slr's. if you scroll through your pictures using the left/right function of the 4-way button you can select any picture and, by using the up/down function you can g...

This is mine. It's from a series inspired by a line from "les Miserables" In one song they make reference to "empty chairs and empty tables" meaning friends now gone. http://www.shuttertalk.com/forums...

This is why I hung on to my D70. It was worth far more to me as a spare than I would ever had got as a trade-in.

I like the first shot a lot. Not many people can sit square on to a shot and look comfortable but your mum looks very natural. The lighting really shows off the chair and the whole thing looks good.(r...

I agree. Doing it yourself is the best way to go. It takes a little practice but it's well worth it to have the results you want. My best tip is to be bold with the cutting. it gives a straighter cut ...

I have Cokin filter holders on all my lenses which makes the filters interchangeable. I did once drop my 50mm@1.4 onto a table-top and it was the filter holder that saved it from coming into contact w...

I have a cheap flash meter that I've had for years that was very useful in the studio back in the rollfilm days. But when I set my lighting gear up now I still use it just to see what ball park i'm in...

that's a real lip-lock. I wonder if they are still married? They seem to be eying each other up. Great picture.

fantastic pictures.

I don't think englishbob quite understood what I meant. Of course aperture control gives you full command of DOF which is why I use it. What I said was that if DOF was'nt an important facter then it c...

I keep mine on aperture mode. Mostly because that's how I learnt with my old olympus OM2. It's easier to make quick decisions and if DOF is'nt important you can use it to control shutter speed. In the...
