The Decisive Moment
And it must be even more difficult to start up and survive these days. Yes, so much competition and, in the media, so many people working for nothing. I became a photographer after answering an ad in my local paper, The Kent and Sussex Courier...yes they advertised for a trainee. Today such staff jobs hardly exist and where they do are poorly paid and insecure. When I first went to F...

Thanks Kay & Tony - looks like a good tutorial there - will give it a good read later (when not at work!)

My view on it is this: A limited camera will restrict the type of shots you can do well. If you stay within those limitations, you can produce pictures as good as any more expensive camera. A more fancy camera with a better lens will open up a wider range of shots that you can do well, and more easily. I speak from experience here - I used to use an all manual Practika MTL, and my earliest p...

Process versus Technique
To get the pics to the level/look they need, it's a proper skill from what I can gather - stuff the agent was chatting about was mind boggling really, it'd probably not be cost effective to get me to do it as it'd take forever ;-) Don't get me wrong, I edit all the portrait/landscape/wedding stuff I do - but big projects... you're just a small cog in a wheel really. ww I'd rather be chat...

Adobe twists the knife even more............
That is good news, I'm very much the same as Dave_Canon on this. In my case because of hardware purchase timing I probably wouldn't have updated my CS3 suite otherwise.

Video, will it catch on?
What a nice little conversation we're having here CB, so civil. Not like some of those other unruly threads. The books are From still to motion. This looks the most readable, but maybe basic. DSLR cinema. Covers similar ground, but i think in a bit more depth Master shots (100 advanced camera techniques) every page is a different shot i.e. backwards dolly, pivot on characters etc. a good ...

Printing Nightmare - Please help.
Didn't Keith have a step by step on his site concerning this....Hang on I'll have a look http://northscape.photium.com/page1314.html Hope that helps.

What inspires the "look" for your shots, the music, the characters in the group or something entirely different? On a separate tack, how's your hearing after the barrage of sound you must have experienced over the years ? To be honest, I'm never quite conscious of creating a 'look' with my images, it's more a case of producing the best images I can under the circumstances. I think colou...

Sorry for late reply again ! I dont get in till six ish and couldn't find this thread anywhere under forums recent activity. Reckon the secret police are about...

canon 60d
I can't see the price dropping a lot more as the 550D is around £650 or less, the 60D £829 and the 7D £1160, only time I can see them dropping more is when they bring out a new replacement for one of them.

What's made you grumpy today?
Mr Polis man, If you think that was bad wait until I get started on my native distilleries :D:D:D:P (hic) Thank you for your erudite advice re Newcastle Broon Ale. It explains a lot about my mothers attitude to life, it was her favourite tipple. As long as she had a nip or two of Haig's Dimple to go along with it. Talking about George Jones & Tom T. Hall. Have you seen what passed fo...

what to use for a background
I've got a huge sheet of white fabric permanently hung from a stand (I think it might be sheeting but it's good quality stuff and have absolutely no idea where it came from - husband left it behind when he moved out). Plus I have another stand with narrower fabric on that I can swing out of the way (you can see that on the right). Plus behind that stand is a clothes rail on which is hung a sh...

Reviews

A camera with an 18x optical zoom saves walking closer to the subject and that can only be a good thing argues sloth-like Duncan Evans.
Techniques

See how long exposures can turn what can be described as ordinary into something much more interesting.

Is there such thing as the wrong weather for photography? John Gravett finds out.

Are you looking for ways to make your still lifes more interesting? Well try adding a bit of torch light.

Long exposure landscapes don't just have to be of the sea as Karl Taylor explains.

A technique growing in popularity is light painting and photographer Simon Plant has some advice for creating our very own light painted images.
