4 & 7 for me as well Mark. 4 is just magical. Real sense of anticipation. How are you getting on with the 5dmk3 over your trusted mk 2? Gary

Mark, A fascinating insight into the work that goes on behind the scenes!. Many thanks for sharing it with us. A real team effort by the sounds of it! Your wife will have no shortage of pictures to look back on when they are older. I guess the sincerity of the poses comes from the great...

That mono-tone processing i've seen in a few of your shots now is superb! In general for the shots of the kids do you go out with ideas in mind.. i.e. set-up the shots and get them to pose? Are you going out specifically to shoot? or are these moments captured as part of a normal family...

Stunning as usual Mark. Number 6 is a cracker!

Agree with above post. I had to ring to chase up the acknowledgement of receipt. You then get a number which allows you to log in online and check progress and view any quotes etc. give permission to proceed. One thing I was disapointed/suprised at was how dirty/dusty the front element of the...

Thought i'd follow this up. After sending to Canon Ellestree for calibration the lens now behaves properly. One of their technicians actually rang me to talk through the problem. Once he had worked out that I had tried lots of things before sending it in he calibrated the lens on their...

That is a very good question, and one which I posed to the repairer after they sent me the invoice, which just had a note to say AF checked and adjusted. I would have preferred more information than they just checked and adjusted it electronically but they would not provide me it. The...

Hi, Yes I bought a hood with the lens after reading the reviews about AF trouble with knocks to the barrel. Its only ever been off the lens when it was sent in for repair!. One further piece of information i missed out from the above post is when I use EOS utility and shoot in live...

Purchased a Canon 50mm f1.4 in November last year and initially was using this on my old 300d. In the first couple of outings with the lens I was generally happy with the results. Images were sharp from f2 as suggested in most of the reviews and I had a huge improvement in IQ over the kit...

Dealt with Matt at MPB on two occasions recently for some high value items so I approached with caution initially. Found his price competitive and the whole process from first contact to money in the account was very easy. They arrange the courier for collection and pay direct into your...

I too recently purchased from HDEW. I telephoned them and spoke about the 'grey' import situation, they make no effort to try and hide this and answered my questions about returns and warranty to my satisfaction. The following facts might be of use to those considering: The camera body...

Over the weekend I was out walking and saw some local kids sledging with their parents. I was itching to capture the action and practise with AI Servo on some moving subjects. In this situation though I too didn't have the confidence to just start taking pictures. However, another...

PP really suits the shots, as above would be interested to know the steps.

As usual great shots Mark. Number 8 as well for me. Priceless. As the other posters have commented the pink coat looks fab against these backdrops. Gary

Sadly I read in the press before Christmas that the place in guiseley is set for closure. So you might need to get in there quick! Gary
