Sony SLT A77
If you try the A77 make sure it has the latest firmware (1.05). This has a lot of improvements - in particular it makes the camera operations much faster.

White Balance
Colour is a vital part of composition. I do play with the WB setting in camera at the time of exposure - often trying several WB settings for the same scene in order to get a better 'feel' for the possible impact of colour on the composition used. I tend to favour warmer WB settings - and push the WB to be warmer than the scene is in reality. I do occasionally change my composition as a basis o...

I have the 50 1.8 it's a great lens. I though I'd lost it recently cos my camera bag felt empty it's that light. Let me know if you want an experimental image, say a subject at closest focus distance with a given background item to show amount of blur

Syncing 20D and 30D parameters
Yes you'll have to load the raw files into DPP and see. I know that DPP "grays out" settings that aren't available with certain raw-camera combinations. Try to upgrade to the latest version, free from Canon's websites http://www.canon-europe.com/support/software/dpp/

Lighting problem
Thanks everybody for your comments and suggestions. The actual studio has been set up just under 12 months now. I originally went on a Calumet Studio lighting course to get an idea of the basic setup. To be honest, the girl that is taking the photos at present has not looked after the equipment and the backdrop is certainly not ideal as it shows in the photo. It was originally set up with a ...

Critique Gallery
That is and always has been the ethos of the site. However, it's hard enought to "police" the quality of critique in the Critique Gallery, and would be an impossible task in the main gallery. It's really up to individual members to make that effort. One problem often referred to in that regard is people being put off giving honest critique because of the fear of a bad response from the poster ...

Micro 4/3 for professional use
Thanks Pete. I never use JPEG, if RAW is available. But it looks like the RAW images are also corrected in-camera. That said, I used my Pen with old manual Canon FD lenses and never found any issues. So correction can't be overly drastic. But it leads, I guess, to a whole new discussion! What matters more - the end result, or how you get there? ;)

shooting with a sony a500
Hi Wayne, With the greatest of respect I'd suggest you start a new thread with that question - you'll get a greater degree of response. Also - have a look through the gallery archives for similar shot to that what you want to gain. Then consider either referring to these in the thread or sending a pm to the togs involved. You'll find you'll get a good response. As for my two pennies wo...

Once we realise how important fossil fuels are to our economic and industrial activities then its use for transport may be even higher taxed. So its not so much the price of electric V's petrol today, as the comparison in the future. Battery technology is advancing rapidly so I am happy to play a wait and see on this. But I also agree no Electric car has passed my economic assessment in today's...

Even though our studio is upstairs I don't think that puts people off. Our gallery and studio are in an old building with the original stained floor boards with a grand staircase going up to the studio which most people love, and no one has ever mentioned it being a problem. The clients that do have a photo shoot all comment on how nice the studio is, they get on great with our photographer, an...

Backdrops and stands
So, you recommend spending £90 plus, as opposed to just starting out with a simple sheet (couple of quid from supermarket) some big clips to secure it (couple of quid from supermarket)? Do it cheaply first, then identify whether you need to spend money on more apprpriate gear.
