Thank's all, yes we are AnA. The police notify the pawn shops within a certain radius, and we have notified MPB, but will look into SW Camera too, thank you! =)

I think I have read how to do this right?! But our stolen kit list, from 4th Feb 2015 is: If anyone comes across anything suspicious, please shout!! - 07545572807 Stolen from our studio in Cornwall on the night of 3rd/4th February. QtyItemMakeModelSerial # 1 Laptop Acer Aspire V3-771n/a 2 -...

Hi All, If anyone comes across anything suspicious, please shout!! - 07545572807 Stolen from our studio in Cornwall on the night of 3rd/4th February. QtyItemMakeModelSerial # 1 Laptop Acer Aspire V3-771n/a 2 - DSLR Camera - Canon EOS 5Dmkii 3531728169 and 1330806040 6 - Studio Flash Lights -...

There is a small download for the 5d's and you just plug a usb in. Worked with ours. :)

Does this work with all Canons? I know our 5Dii's had a slightly different system to some others when I have checked shutter counts in the past. Very clever way to do it tho!

This has now been solved. If anyone is interested, what had happened is that when Aimiee was asked whether to 'Open Anyway' or 'Render Using Lightroom', she chose Open Anyway, and told it not to ask her again. Reset all the warnings, and now back to normal! =)

Hi All, We have recently rebuilt our editing machine, and something funny is now happening when choosing to 'Edit in Photoshop' from Lightroom. We think it is happening with colour images (slightly) but is much more visible on B&W. Some details first to get rid of most of the obvious problems...

I fully agree, it is better to buy something rather than nothing, IF it is for a hobby or for fun, as I mentioned repeatedly in my post. But if you are planning on using it a lot, then it is a false economy. When we first started studio work, we used imported triggers at £30-£40 a set. They...

just another thought for a bodge fix if it is just for fun.... you could place a piece of black card a little way in front of the on-camera-flash. This would allow the flash trigger signal to bounce back to the external flash, but it wouldn't hit the subject. Just a thought. =)

As Phil said, there is little shadow, which is causing the shot to look a bit like a 'snap shot' rather than a professional photo. If it is just for fun, get a cheap trigger off ebay, or if it is an investment, look to pay over £100 for the triggers, to make sure they last. The Canon ST-E2 is...

We just recently purchased 2x Dell 24" IPS monitors (1920x1080) for just under £200 each to increase our editing capabilities. The resolution of the screen doesn't really make editing 'better' other than the fact you can fit more in, so your picture itself takes up more of the screen. We run...

Looks really cinematic. :) Can I ask where abouts in Cornwall. We live in Cornwall, and as I am useless at landscape photography, I would love to try and do some wildlife stuff when I get some spare time!

As an example, this is a straight out of camera shot (other than reducing to 50% size) to show how non-reflective 'black felt' is. There are 2 large flash heads fairly close to the baby, who is surrounded by black felt. Obviously we would then edit it further to hide it, but it shows how little...

I guess this is part of the answer. If this is just a hobby for your own enjoyment, then don't stress overly on the setup. Try the cheaper options that have been recommended, it they work, great, if they don't, you haven't lost a lot. Although Photography is a great hobby, it is also a very...

Thanks for that Phil. Something to look into! Never thought about replacing the heads!
