Hi All Been asked to supply a couple of items and would like recommendations on who to use or avoid please as it's for a 40th birthday present first off i've got a couple of scans of childrens drawings that would like printing onto some kitchen tiles and secondly, i've got a long list of the...

was no remote flash trigger on there, and can replicate the problem by manually setting the camera to a shutter speed of 2k or higher, without flash , after my next wedding (when it will be a backup camera) it's going away to have the shutter checked thanks Chris

sorry thought had uploaded them with full exif, but looks like you can get to them from the media area, thanks

Yes and no, on the indoor shots the flash was firing (550ex) but was set to high speed sync, but on the outdoor shots and my tests over the weekend the flash wasn't on the camera I've had a chat with the guy who serviced the body a few months ago and he thinks the 2nd curtain is "running too...

Hi All Got a strange issue with my 50D body and what appears to be an exposure or shutter issue. Problem appears to be if the shutter speed is higher than 2000 then it appears to have a shutter sync problem and almost what looks like image corruption. I've attached 4 images as an example, 3...

Hi Am doing our schools class photo's in a few weeks time, hoping to do them outside as we live in a very rural area, surrounded by fields, but as an english weather backup i'll setup an indoor shoot as well, i've got lights and a white 3m x 6m wide backdrop, but am looking for something with a...

(Fortunately) at the end of a shoot over the weekend my Sigma 17-50 EX developed a problem with the zoom lock. I think between shoots I put the zoom lock on (don't know why, never normally do), then when I took it off noticed that I could only zoom between about 30-50 and the zoom lock switch...

the backdrop will be against a wall with benches for the kids to stand/sit on a few meters in front of it, thanks for that, thats given me some ideas, i've got a 3m wide by 6m cloth, i'll just use the 6m end as the widest part just wanted to make sure i wasn't missing something obvious about...

Hi All Venturing into school photography for my local primary, I'm normally a wedding photographer. I've got s studio setup which I just use for temporary shoots, just 4 lamps and a 3m wide white cloth drop on a couple of stands which works fine for what I need. But for the group shots I'm...

thanks Rhodese, will watch that later, always find it easier to follow a video!

hah, someone asked me the other day if I was crb checked as I doing some photography as at school fete (surrounded by adults and children) , I'm not crb checked but I still hold SC clearance for a previous role, I was going to point out to them that a basic criminal records check is pointless...

Thats great Tom, thanks for doing that, your right it does look so much better than the cut outs, will revisit them tonight and see if I can recreate what you've done. One question, how do you mask out the child so editing the background doesn't affect them, do you then create another layer? ...

might give that a go, I can see how you select the colour using the eye dropper, how do I then increase the exposure just for that colour? Edit: just tried it, used the dropper worked quite well but over exposed their faces a little too much and having problems getting them back again! Thanks...

Hi All Need some advise on a few cut out's please, was asked to setup a mini studio at out local school fair to do some portrait work, had all the lights setup i thought ok, but mucked up the back light which didn't do much of a job at over exposing the backdrop! , and didn't help with little...
