Hello all! Not sure if this is the right section for this, but does anyone know/recommended any decent studio spaces in London that do an hourly rental? Preferably cheap and with their own lighting gear! Thanks!

I'm doing a bit of all the saxes to be honest. More work that way!

Would you recommend focussing manually using liveview in this situation or sticking with AF? I'm assuming you are talking about checking post shot!

Thanks, yeah I think I ended up with focus on his glasses possibly which was slightly frustrating!

Hello all! I read an article somewhere or other last week about using a bright, white iPad screen as a makeshift softbox and thought I'd give it a go with my flatmate as a model. The ipad was positioned shining on to the left side of his face with just natural light from a window to his right...

Thanks for your comments guys! I probably should have mentioned that I am actually the model (I'm studying jazz sax at uni) and the photos were taken on a timer (explaining some of the odd framing)! It wasn't exactly an ideal setup but was necessary due to needing to provide basic promo shots...

Hello all! I recently had a go at editing (in Lightroom) some portrait shots but I'm still not happy with how they look (especially no.1 and 4). Any pointers you guys could give me would be greatly appreciated! 1. 2. 3. 4.

A few attempts at some portrait shot editing.

I think I can see it now... been a long day, sorry...

oh fair enough, I can't really see it to be honest.

These are my favourites from a particularly pleasant day out in Cambridge a while back. Enjoy! 1. 2. 3. 4.

This is just a quick shot of a friend I took on my balcony a couple of weeks back. Thought it was quite nice for such a simple shot. :)

Might be tempted by one of these... http://www.firebox.com/product/3794/Polaroid-GL10-Instant-Mobile-Printer Always liked the idea of printing on the go.

If someone gave you £100 and told you to go spend it on something photography related what would you buy? Could be whatever you want. Something essential or something completely wacky!
