If you go to Lee's web page about the big stopper they themselves say that it has a slight magenta hue. The say that it is unavoidable with such a strong filter and that the colour cast can easily be corrected by the use of the 81C filter they sell. No affiliation with Lee I just read the...

It really depends on the horse, if it will be okay with a flash or not. I know many horses that wouldn't even be okay with the sound of the shutter alone, never mind the flash. Always approach a horse from the front with a camera. If you or the owner are unsure:thinking: if the horse will be...

Yeah welcome to the forum. Looking forward to meeting some people from on here. Martin

Yeah I would love the GT5562GTS all 277cm of it! Swing like a monkey from the underside of it. Jungle gym all up in there. I would practically do anything for one. £115 on amazon. £122 with postage. For the Slik one that is.

Wow yeah took the words out my mouth a bit there. I suppose I hadn't really thought about Slik tripods. I know that they are out there but never really knew much about them. Cheers Phil for the input. EDIT: Your prices are a bit off for the link. It is £269 RRP and £179 sale price. Martin

It looks as if you have focused on the nose band of the bridle. As others have suggested the aperture needs to be stopped down for greater DOF. Also blown whites need to be brought down a bit. I would as others have said go for f11 for DOF. Depending on how steady your hand is then you can go...

Is there a prescribed list of things people do or can anybody just suggest a topic or location for a meet?

Yeah I was browsing through the meet ups pages earlier. Good range of events that people are wanting to do.

You don't have to. Wordpress allows you to change the domain name of your blog whenever, so if you want to get your blog up and running before getting your domain sorted then you can. However changing the domains is an unnecessary hassle in my eyes so I would sort hosting and domains first...

Hi everybody, I hail from the sunny city of Edinburgh. As you may see I have been a member of this forum for a while but shortly after I joined my laptop died and when the replacement arrived I had sort of forgotten I was part of the forum. Anyway I look forward to being an active part of this...
