The Hand works best as a shade when using a tripod. But on shorter lenses it can work. The other way is to put your whole self, camera and all, under the shade of something like a tree or hedge row. Makes you less conspicuous too. Need the instincts of a sniper. Keep down and light off the glass.

It does not matter if It is a chair or a hare. If left up to the camera alone, back lit subjects will always be underexposed. It will usually take some two stops exposure compensation to expose the shadow side of the subject, so as to give anything like a natural look. Light directly into the...

We did the same everything always in both names.

Banks can only give advice about their own offerings. He would not have mentioned any others alternatives. Banks do not give independent advise. You can transfer between isa's as much as you like. but you can only invest a max of 20k new money in ISA's each year. It can be split between cash...

There is no limit to how many isa''s. You can have. The only limit is how much you can deposit in them per year.

The shot also looks very under exposed, most likely due to the back light. You need to expose for the shadow side.

Backing up to the cloud is probably the safest option, but data is not usually cheap when abroad. A solid drive, and lots of card for the originals seems the next best.

These days I shoot almost everything with available light, however I manipulate that and the subject as necessary to show the subject as best I can, I have, but rarely use, flash guns for this purpose but often use reflectors where necessary. When shooting "things" it it is rarely about the...

Since for ever, cine triposa have always had a far heavier and stable build. Usually with split legs and braces, no centre column, and a fluid pan and tilt head, mounted on a half dome leveller. Unlike stills photography, a cine tripod is held and controlled during shooting, this adds major...

If you change the colour mode to lab colour, you can burn using the luminance channel, with out increasing the saturation.

Lantern slides of this size were the norm for club photography from the turn of the century though to the late 40's They were also the standard format for colleges, medical and scientific lectures. Early colour transparency film was generally available from the mid 30's Dufay colour, though...

What I find strange is the exceptional degree of the haze in the first place. It has the look you get with strong light caught on a greasy of huffed on lens. Against the light shots need squeaky clean optics. I am not sure it is worth too much work on it, as it is not up to your usual standard...

It is pretty well impossible to get a true impression of the possible sharpness of a lens as it depends so much on the sensor used to test it. Some lenses max out well before the resolution of a 40 Mpx sensor, and others are able to resolve more than any sensor available today. However there...

Higher pixel counts do increase the possible detail capture. However the resolution of the lens also comes into play. Many lenses, especially those designed during the film era, and during the early days of digital, are working at near their maximum resolution. limit on 16 to 24 mega pixel...

I have both. A Smallrig and a generic one for my XT30, The generic one fits much better, so the Smallrig one is relegated to its box in a draw.
