brilliant set of images. Thanks for sharing.

Cracking shots. Have often toyed with the idea of the MPE65 but not sure I have the patience, not to mention a steady enough hand.

Wow great shots, especially for being handheld.

Beautiful shots. Love the water drops on the petals. Have been meaning to try some flower photography for a while. So maybe now with the start of summer I might get out and about.

Great set of images. Love the boy with the flower and also number 4 with backlighting.

Great shot. Love this type of image and especially with more than 1 set of falls.

Except that it's her wedding and any bride could within the realms of what is considered reasonable from a professional photographer expect a shot of her future husband placing a ring on her finger during the vows. As sometimes you can be restricted in how close you can get during the service I...

Tell that to the bride lol There are shots they all expect as standard and generally the rings are one of them

Worst thing I ever did was sell my 70-200 2.8 for primes. Especially in weddings where you are sometimes restricted in how close you can get to the must have shots such as rings during the vows you just can't do without the extra length of the Zoom. I sold my 135mm kept the 35mm as I just love...

Certainly is a costly hobby. I started doing some paid work to fund it. Problem is I now have some great gear, 27" imac etc but no longer take the shots That first got me started I the hobby. When you spend so much time on paid work you lose the desire to do something for yourself. It's a no win...

Thanks for the feedback I couldn't see how there would be a quality difference but was interested when reading in classifieds when an item even out of warranty was advertised as a genuine uk product not a grey import as if it was then even as a 2nd hand item more valuable. I thought maybe there...

Can I ask for thoughts on grey imports. I can buy a lens usually several hundred pounds cheaper from places like Panamoz and inclusive of a 3yr warranty as standard. The same canon lens still made by canon similar quality etc is more expensive to buy locally and with only a 1yr warranty. Yet...

Agree with Gary pick your spot set up and wait on the action to come to you. I have covered football and rugby with a 70- 200 and no convertor.

stunning.

Great first attempt. been meaning to give this a go for some time now
