How about if adobe were to offer a low user tariff which was £2-3 per use?

Just wondered Jacob, have you shot many weddings with 2 optechs? It is true that many years ago they were the only option but also many years ago a wedding lasted 3hrs at most. However these days wedding last so much longer 10hrs is not unheard of!! I started out using optechs but at then end...

There is one that runs in Poynton regularly. However, a 16yr old model causes photographers a nightmare as they are still technically a minor and along with having a parent / guardian present and signing the model release the photographer has to be very careful about the shots taken as any...

You could try Kim Shaw www.kimshawphotography.co.uk. She's Staffs based and a reasonable tog. Just say Simon sent you.

One of the best studio lighting trainers I know is a chap called Gary Hill - his is based up in Lancaster but does regular trips south to deliver courses and 1-2-1s Not only does he know his stuff he can actually teach it too, starting with the real basics and working up from there...

how about ringing your insurance company & ask them??

Funny you say that. I know 2 Pro's who also teach who gaffer tapes students screens up if they chimp too much. Another Pro I know who regularly hires for their multi tog wedding business will give the togs a small capacity CF card for the entire wedding if they overshoot (e.g. 5+ identical...

Portfolio App - absolutely no doubt it's worth the £10.50 I've got more than 1 wedding having used it

I would suggest that an alliance would be bad. If you consider that it is the competition between the two striving to maintain / increase market share that keeps the R&D money flowing. In a monopoly (effectively would be if they joined forces) the focus would be extracting money from the...

70-200 f2.8 is pretty much standard and definitely my first choice but also think about lenses that uncle bob doesn't have. 10mm Fish-eye can give great images and allow you to get creative 300mm f2.8 will allow you to get close from very far away and will look great when attached to your...
