thanks, this looks like the best option, especially if an equine photography opportunity comes off. thanks

Thanks for all the feedback. I'll keep this in mind. For the moment, the challenge has gone away but I'll look for future solutions. cheers

I took some photos of a more basic (and smaller) event in the north east last year. Great fun. No jousting but lots of sword play and fanfare. Nice shots.

Hi, I've done some looking around on the net and also on these forums but not managed to find a recent thread on the topic so any help is appreciated I looking to cover an event in a couple of month's time and would like to sell photos with the organiser's cooperation. I'm just in the planning...

my favourite sign is in Yorkshire.... seems contrary to me...

Just tested them out by purchasing an RF control ring adaptor. went perfectly, despite ordering just prior to Chinese new year, the delay was minimal, communications were excellent throughout

I had the 5Diii and loved it, it's a great camera. I sort of agree with the sentiments above but it depends upon your personal level of snobbishness. (mine is quite high tbh) If you want to walk around, then the 24-105 F4, is great, but might be too heavy for you. What about the sigma...

I just found this thread, and was interested in the responses. For stills I've seen continuous lighting used well, but my preference is always strobe lighting I have seen a well lit still using two LED panels, These were around £250 each and the flexible type, around 60-80cm each or...

Well at the moment I have 3TB-ish on Amazon drive. That's roughly 1TB per year. well then for me it's fairly easy. You want 30 TB for in 15 year's time. You need 4-5 TB for short and medium term use. Put this into your search criteria. As time goes on, then storage will become cheaper. Right...

that's a huge amount of space, 20-30TB!!! the only one I can find with that capacity is idrive business a good 30TB NAS can cost £1k. I have a 6TB drive attached to my computer and another to the router. but cloud is more secure in the long run

exactly this! The plastics and tolerances used in manufacturing need to be good and you get what you pay for!! I bought a camera belt system from a Chinese manufacturer and it lasted a day. The receiver was steel but the pin was aluminium, so after a couple of hours of use, my 7Dii and sigma...

Hi all I have a photographer slot remaining for a community photo night Tuesday 16th Aug'22, 7-10pm £30 to cover costs (no profit is made by myself and I pay for my own ticket) Capped at 10 photographers with 4-5 amateur models coming along plus a guest model. They're friendly and always good...

congrats to the winners, nice shots

Here's my contribution. I'm a keen amateur but sometimes take on event work from time to time. This is from a charity amateur boxing gig 2 weeks ago. I've tried to pick a photo in which the people are only just recognisable. (I retain the copyright to the images but UWCB has distribution...

Hi @Gav-canon , I photograph red kites when visiting my parent's place in North Yorkshire. I rarely get anything as good as this. For sharing purposes, I'll post some up here to illustrate something about exposure. With a bright blue sky and a dark bird, you will always blow out the sky, but...
