Thanks guys... It's the answer I was expecting tbh.. Just wanted input from folks who know a lot better than I do!

Bit of a newbie question but.... Getting back into things after selling up a few years ago and flash-wise just have a Godox V850 that I shoot portraits (mainly headshots) through either a softbox or beauty dish. Would there be any benefit in quality of light from my flash to something like an...

Know exactly how you feel :) Trying to regain your mojo can be a tricky one....good luck :)

Sorry for the late reply, been up in the wilds of Scotland with the flakiest internet ever! It's a sort of reflector/strip light made from white foam board, attached to a flash with velcro although i'll improve on this to make it a bit more secure.... it's very light, can be hand held or used...

I did this a few years ago with a friends band....dark grey carpet on the walls, proper dingy. As has been said, black and white, ramp up the iso and enjoy yourself.....sorry, just read you've already done it, look forward to seeing some. A single off-camera flash can also be helpful, hope you...

Had my first 5Dc (in fact first Canon, nevermind first full frame camera) around a month or two and am slowly getting to grips with it and its imperfections. I don't really mind as i'm taking my time instead of blasting away. It's going to have the 50mm STM welded on it for quite some time but...

Thanks....might go against convention and isn't everyone's cup of tea but I like shadows and contrast in my portraits.

Understanding the exposure triangle is probably the (just) most important thing an aspiring photographer should learn but it doesn't help when you have to delve through menus to change settings like most entry level dslrs. Fuji's are a breeze to use in manual with the evf and dials right in...

True what they say...blink and you miss it. I spent an hour or so this afternoon tinkering and made a DIY flash modifier from white foam-board (even though i've a cupboard full of modifiers i'm always making my own stuff...just for the fun of it!). Needs a bit more tinkering but i'm pleased...

Tesco are doing Dishonoured 2 and Fallout 4 for a tenner atm (each)

Thanks....i've decided to go for the 5dc and have a thread in the wanted section if anyone's getting rid :)

Tbh... I absolutely adored my fujis before I sold up a few years ago but having never used ff digital I just fancied having a bash as cheap as possible and take it from there...

Thanks fellas, food for thought. Think I might wait a while longer and get the mk2 :)

Thanks maarten, had read a few things about the mirror issue so will definitely bear that in mind

After selling all my Fuji gear a few years ago and being in the relative photographic wilderness i'm hankering for another dslr/mirrorless camera.... I realise you get what you pay for but i'm not a wealthy man so like getting good bang for my buck, which leads me to ask; Is the 5D Classic a...
