    Advice needed for basic night event shooting

    Hi, I have offered to take some photos at a local christmas/ santa meet and greet event where my wife works. The photos are only as a record for the families, it's not paid and being done as a favour and basically their only other alternative is someone with an Ipad. But still I want to do my...

    Views on Tamron 70 200 f2.8 G2

    Thinking of upgrading my canon 70-200 4L and looking views on the tamron, preferably in comparison. I use the canon lens on my canon RP and occasionally with a kenko 1.4 tele converter for sport with no issues. Focus is spot on with/without tc and images sharp wide open. From the specs the...

    Managing colour differences

    +1 Although i only rarely print, i edit on a calibrated monitor as if all images were to be printed. Sometimes i will share images on Social media, but i don't change anything. When viewed on a mobile device and compared to others they don't have the wow effect, but i don't really care. Usually...

    Pre-dawn sea scape

    Trebarwith strand, Cornwall.

    Nice exposure, composition and depth. I'm not a fan of the sky replacement as the colours and direction of light don't match the image. With the detail and side light this could make a nice moody B&W.

    A bridge too far, ruining a classic scene.

    From what you have posted it just looks like a contractor has been given free reign. No aspect of design or consultation to ensure the solution is safe, suitable or aesthetically pleasing. Surely a ground level cobbled/ stone walkway using natural stone from the area would have been a much more...
