and that is exactly what I use. Great system in my opinion

Professional photography has so many different fields it’s impossible to generalise. If you are purely studio based a strap is useless, mostly just a thing to get in the way. Press guys, if they ...

I like the camera. It’s gets dragged around all over. I mostly shoot with the A9 commercially for stills but for myself pick the A7c. It gets used a lot for commercial video work as well. No ...

Nice idea  I could use my various g clamps and so on. Only issue is all my current GoPro mounting brackets and things like the media mod and suction cup windscreen mount won’t work

I bought a cheap plastic cage online. It arrived today. Solves the problem. Except it makes my media mod redundant. Pity, the microphone is much better than the internal one. The cage allows ...

Good call. I’m going to get onto that today. Thanks

I have to loosen the screw that runs through the tabs at the bottom of the camera to be able to make adjustments. The screen becomes unresponsive with it tightened. I have tried squeezing the tabs ...

I bought a Hero 9 today. I have the exact same behaviour. Took me ages to figure out what was happening then remembered this thread that I had sort of half read. it’s annoying. But at least I have ...

Yep. That sure rings true. Lost a major client when I broke a collar bone and had to get it plated. Worked with the broken bone before the operation but I was a day slower than they liked. Ryobi ...

I have been involved in photography as my full time money earner for 40 years. Still at it. People pay me to take photos. It’s simple really. I don’t make money telling people how to take photos ...

I would could it idiocy. A fair question. Lot of people ask it. The link to the Amazon product gives me a page not found message. The vinyl backdrop would be useful for things like chairs and so ...

A really beautiful and quite easy 5 day hike You have to carry all food, clothing and sleeping bags but sleep in wooden huts on the various beaches. I carried just one body and a 24-105 lens. It ...

I relooked at this image and tried a few things. Honestly I feel I'm moving away from what I experienced when I took the photo. Still the feedback was useful. Im going to post another image since ...

No. I send it to a local guy who liaises with various companies that offer the service. Because he handles so much of it he gets a better price so that is his margin. he is easier to deal with ...

Green screen is for video. I have seen loads of people think they have found out a big trick no one else thought of and then give it a go. My most recent example of his was a crowd who picked up a ...

My primary income for the past 25 years has been from catalogue photography. Images on a pure white background. At one point I employed 27 people as we photographed all the products sold by the ...

The lens works for me. I had the canon version years ago when I shot Canon. 24 is wide enough for most things I shoot and I find 70mm so times a bit short.  Going to 105 is great. When shooting in ...

Thanks for the input. Not sure about crushed highlights. I haven’t come across that term before actually. Is that the same as blown highlights? If so then yes. The highlights are pushed to the ...

Thanks but I’m not even close to young. Started taking photos more or less seriously at age 14. I’m 61 later this year. I am not sure what talent even is anymore. I try to see it’s as the ability ...

I agree totally with the need to bring up a bit more detail in the foreground.
