Seriously?  It’s a rug, that’s literally what it’s there for.

This was shot my 7d (10+ years old!!!!!) with the original push-me-pull-you 100-400 (which everyone insists is always full of dust).  a MK2 with the newer version should be quite a step forward.

The first shot for me is SO FRUSTRATING! Its the standout image but like another poster said above, it just needed slightly more width to get the rug in, and a minor shift in position to get the ...

Any particular budget or brand?  Canons 7D Mk2 mated to the 100-400L is a fairly go-to solution for most birding needs.  65 point AF and 10fps burst is pretty effective at getting results.

Similarly, I also use Lightroom for probably 95% of my work, and as LRs editing ability gets ever better, PS is becoming damn near redundant for me.  I only use PS for adding blue skies to my ...

The obvious answer to candid street work is one of canons pancake lenses.

Let’s put this another way. If you missed my wedding shots because you’re screwing about changing primes, I wouldn’t be paying the full bill, I’d bad mouth you and I’d send a furious wife over for ...

This.  The amount of stuff photoshop does is scary.  It’s practical uses in the medical industry for example are phenomenal.

Ah maybe it came across a little harsh :) unintentional... Think the best thing you can do is sit down and evaluate what you’re doing and what you want to do, and maybe don’t do any more impulse ...

There may well be, and lord knows I haven’t tried them all, but it makes sense to me that if you’re struggling with workflow, opting for the most widely accepted product which is the industry ...

Well that’s all fine and dandy, but as you’re not the OP who’s having bother with his RAW files I’m not quite sure why you took issue with the suggestion? I also don’t see how it’s a money grabbing ...

Can I ask why you don’t want a subscription? you can get lightroom and photoshop for £8.32 a month and you’ll never mess about with “make do” software again and you’ll never bump into issues ...

I'm going to both agree and disagree with the above, John makes a makes a lot of sense. He's right in that a good photographer does not mean you're good at business. So if she's doing it, there's a ...

May as well stick with Canon as she’s used to the interface. Im in the UK so bear with, but $2000 equivalent here is about £1500. For that, I think I’d be looking at a used Canon 7D or 7D mk2 (they ...

You must be smoking crack. The whole point of a backup camera is that it is just that, a backup. If you can’t strap all your lenses from your primary shooter onto it, well, it’s not a backup is it. ...

Not to mention it’s effects on reflections, water, windows, TVs, table tops etc

Excuse the horrendous quality (not sure whats happened there), but shooting horizontally and framing would help.  Ive taken about 10 seconds to just tweak this, get the shot levelled out, and ...

Took these a while ago, but thought I'd drag them out to add to the gallery :)

My 7D mk1 is ten years and 230,000 actuations, dropped, abused, battered, stolen, returned, chucked about like a rag doll and still works 100%.  It’s basically an old friend :)

Wouldn’t stress about gear, just find yourself a bargain in the local free-ads or eBay and take what’s on offer.  More important is to get out and start shooting stuff, do it with a friend who can ...
