I recently did a talk to Cowel Camera club (Dunoon) remotely on rally photgraphy and stuck the result on youtube as i didn't really want the effort of prepairing it to go to waste. As part of that I was thinking how I actually got in touch with other clubs to present it again, again to make all...

In essence I am looking for something with similar DoF to the 85mm but more discrete and less in your face as I’ve found with the 85 people tend to either look away or turn and smile when I am just trying to get candid stuff . Likely to be mostly outside.

I've been loving the RF 85mm F1.4VCM, but still musing over getting the EF 135 for that bit more reach and still maintaining subject seperation - As ever the internet is a mine of conflicting information. A lot of it says the DoF of 135 at F2 is similar to the 70-200 at 200 F2.8, so as much as I...

I pretty much leave mine in my camera bag! each to their own I guess. Never had an issues.

I have never done one but from what i've seen people do enjoy the trackside focus courses.

Not possible as it will be high up a pole and I will be standing far away actuating the shutter with a pocketwizard!

i went for the first time in a few years, really good. Really enjoyed it, but more as a social to catch up with old friends and spend some time talking about photography! I am not really one for speakers - but I had a look at the list and I found it a bit samey, lots of repeated subjects or...

Hopefully be signed on for it :)

Thanks both, I'll try that. I've not had the issue with batterys being an issue for what I need at least.

This is the screen

Quick question here for you remote shooters. I've been using a pole a few times of late and normally actuate the camera with my pocketwizards - but I'd like to be able to use the canon camera connect app to check FOV and camera angle, but by the time I stick the pole up sorted my stuff out I'm...

going monday, I went to the first post covid one, the re-aranged one, it was empty and small, previous to this it seemed massive and lots of traders. How does it compare to the pre-covid ones size wise?

RE offsite nas. I started with no knowledge except a fairly decent working knowledge of how computers work (system building etc) but no knowledge of networking protocals. I just used youtube 1.) Home NAS by synology 2.) Second Synology NAS in a cupboard at my parents house 3.) Set up Tailscale...

I guess it depends on a number of factors. If you are storing years worth of files, raw files, for events then it becomes prohibative to move or change - a bit like being tied into a camera system, so if something does change - Like they pull the service or limit it, and the cynic in me says...

Im not so sure about the Nature of @droj 's post but along similar lines I am not sure why would trust your achieve to any 3rd party site. You not only loose control of it but you become reliant on how they want to run their business. I.e at the mercy of their price rises, stuck paying...
