Thanks - is that from somewhere online you can link to?

Hi Basic question - would an EF 800mm f5.6 with a 1.4x extender retain autofocus at the centre point with a 1DX Mark II? I can find this article here (https://support.usa.canon.com/kb/index?page=content&id=ART174703) that "1 series bodies" retain centre point AF, but 1DX is not mentioned? Thanks

Hi guys - just an update, I was accepted onto the scheme when I applied a few months ago and offered a contract - however I rejected the offer as it seems as you pay £75 a year (plus the insurance) for very little. I'm not sure how many photos the National Trust picture library actually sells...

Hi "commercial use" is sale of the image for a purpose that will be used to make money - as selling directly to a client for private use in their home is not a purpose to make money, this wouldn't come under commercial use (I believe).

Hi, here is the link: http://www.nationaltrustimages.org.uk/professional-photography I was accepted onto it this week and am currently considering on whether to take up the offer Matt

Hi The document says "Photographers must have a minimum of £2 million public liability insurance" The scheme refers to out of doors photography (not the interior of properties), so I assume tripods are acceptable as they make no mention of them? The document says you have to book in with...

Hi I was wondering if anyone has any experience with the National Trust Photographers Permit Scheme here? I emailed National Trust Images enquiring about it and they replied with the relevant document. Apparently the licence is £75 a year and you receive 50% of income from photos sold through...

Hi Having finally lost my patience with Spyder5 Pro after it giving me inconsistent brightness setting every time | calibrate it (in the same room and conditions) and unhelpful responses from Datacolor support, I've decided to bite the bullet and change to X-rite. I was originally going to buy...

Thanks posting the link (the site said I couldn't post a link until I had 3 posts) - If they look too dark on both mine and your monitor's (presumably both calibrated), then I presume I should re calibrate when it is dark and so there is no variability in light. I can only think it may be have...

Hi - if you type it straight until Google followed by Flickr it should come up as one of the first links

For the past few months I have been using Spyder 5 Pro to calibrate my monitor, and re-calibrating it every week or so, always in the same conditions (middle of the day, lights off, door closed, curtains drawn as this is when I edit photos). However, lately I have noticed that when I...
