Thanks for the excellent advice, I assume noone else has replied because you have captured everything.

Thanks for your help, unfortunately I don't have any flash gels. I've got a flash diffuser which I'll use. I think I'll probably use my 50mm lens at f/4, although the 24-105 has image stablising so might be better, what do you think? [EDIT]: OK so your edit answered this already! hah The...

Hello all, Tonight it's Nottingham night light and there are going to be lots of buildings illuminated in nice colours and also some street acts throughout the evening. I'm going to take my tripod for some long exposure shots of the buildings but I'm stuck for settings to float around on with...

This is part of my market research... ;)

Hello all, There is a potential for me to have some images published in a local magazine that focuses on youth culture and all things hip and cool such as gadgets, music etc. The brief given by the editor is somewhat.. err.. brief, so was hoping for some inspriation from fellow minded...

Hello all, First go with light trails, I really struggled with composition with this, I'd be greatful if anyone could suggest any help. The idea was to get the road behind the tree that splits off, hence ignoring the usual 3 thirds grid style of composition. I just don't think it works...

As easy as that?? And here's me trying to go all complicated with the custom functions!!

Hello all, can someone explain how I can do this on my 5D mk2 please? Imagine the camera is in Av or Tv, I'd like to use the back button to meter my scene, this will then not move when I re-compose my picture. I then focus and take the picture. I assume it's a custom function but I just...

Yeah that's the kind of effect I had in mind.

OK cheers guys, thanks for the help :) I've been doing a lot of reading around filters etc, but they are mega expensive - especially the Lee filters. Which brand are considered the next best from Lee Filters for a full frame camera? I'll probably be using my 24-105mm F4 L lens
