Thank you muchly for the reply Nod. I’m sure it was me who assembled it and yes grub screw sounds familiar. I just wasn’t sure if there was cross compatibility between tripod and heads. Thank you for your response.

Bump. Surely someone must know about Giottos compatibility?

Hi all I was out with my trusty Giottos MTL 9351b tripod the other night I had the MH5011 head but unfortunately over tightened it while setting it in position for a shot; stripping the threads. Ive has a look online and can’t seem to see any similar heads for sale. I’m unsure if they’ve...

Thanks for the replies guys. I’ll give it a go next time I take a suitable portrait.

Hi guys. There is someone I follow on Instagram, Bidun Portraits. I love the way he edits his photos (on Instagram he commonly puts up a SOOC vs final edit) but I can’t nail it myself or find a suitable tutorial similar (I’m unsure how to search for the look I’m after) I’m pretty sure it’s a...

Thanks for all the advice guys. I'd already scoped the venue I'd already given b&g a very detailed description of what to expect and pitfalls of using me (not a company, no second tog, etc etc) I've ordered 2 new cards I've arranged to borrow a 50mm lens What could possibly go wrong...

Thanks bluep. I visited the other day. Didn't take the camera along as I felt this would be stupid/ rude but got a feel for the place.

Thanks everyone. Great advice

Thanks AB tog. Just what I was looking for. Great reply. How many cards would you say Andrew? Cos that's 6 I've got, albeit the smaller ones only hold 100 images each. But the two big ones are 1000+ each And not really an option paddysnapper.

(Feel free to put this into another thread... I was really unsure if it was equipment; people and portraits or generic??) Hi everyone So.... my Girlfriends best friend gets married on Friday. The photographer she had (who from what I gather was just a friend shooting the wedding) fell and...

That's me finished the course as well! At last!! You do need a lot of self motivation to keep things going; although the odd prompt from the provider does give you a nudge when you haven't been active for a few months. I'm unsure how I feel about this course. I cannot say that it taught me...

I stalled on this course about 15 months ago with only two photographic modules to do ☹️. The summer model shoot doesn't concern me too much but I draw a complete blank with regards to the photojournalist module. It is something I have no interest in and can't find motivation to find an...

Thanks Norkie. Unfortunately not Byker. I work through the back airside and it's all very security conscious.

Oooh, should've said. I'm in Crossgates, Fife and work crazy shifts at Edinburgh airport so I'm awake at all sorts of mad hours.

Hey everyone I joined TP a few years ago and was a very avid reader/lurker/ occasional contributor for a while when TP had its own app. When they decided to change format and start using Tapatalk I kinda threw a huff and didn't like the new format and found myself not using it so much. I miss...
