Brand new 50mm 1.8g for £90 ... thanks eBay!

My mistake, I'm sure I read the word "right" what you wrote. Sorry! Will this technique ever reach the dizzying proportions of selective colour marmiteness I wonder? :) Just out of interest, how would you usually go about photographing an evening reception like this? Just interested what other...

Thanks for the advice - although I would argue that not every photograph needs an "obvious subject". Take the second photo for example - there are any number of points that your eye could be drawn to, rather than a single one. That's what makes the photographs interesting to me - there's a few...

This was a strange wedding, never been to one so laid back. Also it was my first experience of a registry office wedding. It was at a hotel in the middle of Bradford, so no nice grand church shots, no lovely outdoor scenic locations and the ceremony only lasted 10 minutes! It was also the only...

Photographed a friend's wedding on Saturday. Man is it stressful. I have done a couple of others and I don't advertise myself as a wedding photographer but if friends ask then I attempt to step up, after giving them the usual caveats that I don't do it for a living but I'll do the best job I can...

Ha. Thought better of it. Plus the text didn't copy from the draft I wrote. Nevermind.

Never mind. How do you delete a post?

Redacted.

If only we could see the exif data for the camera that took the product images of The Light ... £10 says it's a nikon or canon ... :-)

Man I'd love to see the filter size on a 5m f1.8 ... You'd probably need an observatory to mount it in ... :-)

I was wrong. Mines a Dell U2415 - 24" monitor. More than big enough for me though, great display and you can get one for around £220 from Amazon

I have a dell. I think it's 28". It's at 1920x1200 resolution which I find much more useful, the extra vertical pixels are a great bonus for photoshop etc. Plus it's not as taxing on the graphics card as a 2056 pixel one. Also the colour accuracy is very good out of the box. I'll look up the...

I think that looks much better. Again, just an opinion though, don't take it as gospel. If anything the darker area of shadow where the hand meets the edge of the rug is slightly distracting and could be toned down to match the rest of the shadow. Apart from that it looks excellent to me.

Agreed. Just for clarification, I have nothing against photographers who are learning the ropes. I'm one of them. Like you say, we all started somewhere and we should all help each other out. I'll gladly give advice and tips to anyone who asks. But if you list "professional photographer" as...

Just witnessed a prime example of my point. Guy in a forum on Facebook asking why half of his images are dark when he uses his flash and sets his shutter to 1/600th. I give him some basic advice about sync speed. Then I take a quick look at his Facebook page, which lists his occupation as self...
