    Reasonable budget for half day wedding?

    £1000 sounds “right” - however you can guarantee you’ll find someone who will do it for £199 on Groupon.....

    Workshop Any clubs in London?

    Meetup.com list quite a few clubs locally Leah. Some are gratis and some are not so gratis but maybe a little less than you've seen elsewhere?

    Neewer Ring Fluorescent Flash Light

    As it was in effect a beauty shoot (for a makeup and accessory brand) the model was close. I'd say maximum 2 meters. Cannot remember what settings however speed would have been above 160 and above f/3.2 - 4 for clarity (I shoot on a crop). Generally I'm more than happy to shoot up to 640iso as...

    Neewer Ring Fluorescent Flash Light

    I shot over 200 images for a client using this and didn't have any intermittent colour issues or blank or dark shots. My setup was very controlled with my subjects sitting on a stool and my camera stationary on a tripod shooting through. Can't share this shoot I'm afraid (still not published...

    Neewer Ring Fluorescent Flash Light

    Actually I've used said product and it's damn good tbh. So good in fact that I'm going to get one once I'm through buying new bodies, lenses and a portable lighting kit and have some spare money. I have a soft (pun intended) spot for flo lighting for beauty and this really does the trick for...

    I think I've made my mind up that this is the lens for me :-)

    Looking for advice - Fuji X Wide prime for landscape portraiture.

    Thank you for your reply Alastair. Would you massively recommend the 1.4 over the 2 WR? Also - I know I said primes but - thoughts on the 16-55 2.8 compared to a fast prime? Again - mainly interested in Bokeh and quality.

    Looking for advice - Fuji X Wide prime for landscape portraiture.

    Hi, Long time no post! Looking for recommendations for a wide prime for landscape portraiture. I am used to Nikon Full frame and my "go to" used to be the 24-70 or the 35mm as I loved the bokeh. I'm mainly looking for something for people pics with a landscape around them but one that...

    Sean Archer's processing style...

    It was a tongue in cheek comment :-) I know how helpful this place is :-) The secret is most definitely his processing style. He offers online personal tutorials but they're crazy expensive! Little bit embarrassed to say that I haven't updated my flickr in years. It's most definitely not a...

    Sean Archer's processing style...

    Lots of different images but clearly only one editing style which is what I'm interested in learning :-) He used window light from his home studio in his loft for a majority of his images. My preference right now is fluorescent lighting which reproduces this nicely. I'd love it to be as...

    Sean Archer's processing style...

    Sean Archer (aka Stanislav Puchkovsky) - I love his processing style. I'd like to get an insight as to how he processes his images and thought I'd ask you good people here :-) Here is a link to his 500px - https://500px.com/SeanArcher And my attempt done using fluorescent lighting and basic...

    Studios near Clacton / Colchester

    Hi all, I am possibly moving back to Essex in September / October and am looking for a studio share in the above areas. Anyone know of anywhere? I would need around two weekends per month plus 4-5 evenings for club nights / evening tuitions as a minimum. Cheers :-)
