Thank you for commenting! The window on the left is the side of a bus shelter and the advert is for Cadbury's chocolate! I didn't really notice all the purple at the time but when I got home and looked through all the shots I was delighted to find the colour theme!

Made you look by ibecks posted Mar 18, 2017 at 3:55 PM Captured this one in Plymouth today, following this Devcon attendee down the street with my X100 and capturing people's reactions. Feel free to critique.

I have bags for all occasions... I use a Crumpler Doozie Shoulder Camera Pouch (s) which holds the X-T1, 18-55mm, 35mm 1.4 and 60mm, spare batteries/cards and then fits inside any of my rather-too-numerous non-camera sling bags. That way I can decide how much extra stuff I need to carry apart...

As someone who did a Media Studies degree and worked in TV production, I'll tell you that the only students who ended up working in media were the ones who did a significant amount of work in the industry alongside their degree. They were part-time runners, researchers, columnists, editors and...

Yay! Good news! Glad it worked for you. (y)

Landscape photographers did perfectly well without Photoshop for about 170 years and continue to do so now. They shoot in 'good light' ie. light which doesn't create huge extremes between highlights and shadows, often in the hour or so around sunrise/sunset or on overcast days. Or they used...

The photos you want to sync need to be in a Collection. Create a new collection and select 'Sync with Lightroom Mobile' in the Create Collection dialog. Anything you put in there should sync.

For those considering the CC plan, I used this offer and I think it's still valid. Brings the UK pricing down to £6.85 a month. http://prodesigntools.com/exclusive-photoshop-lightroom-discount.html I'm not affiliated in any way, just hope it's useful for someone else.

Oops! Missed the Flickr link :oops: :$

You're using a fairly wide aperture. Is it possible that the kids are fractionally moving in between focus being set and shutter being activated?

Alternatively, maybe a pouch which fits inside an existing bag? I use a Crumpler Doozie Shoulder Camera Pouch inside my normal day bag. Shown in the pouch is a Fuji X-T1, 35mm f/1.4 underneath the 18-55mm (with a padded divider in between), Cokin filters and holder plus Expodisc. The top has...

@sunnyside_up Thanks — great shots. I'm thinking about picking up a Muse and an Art to have a play with. Do you use the filters at all? and thanks @juggler for pointing me in the right direction!

At Plymouth Seafood Festival today.

Does anyone have experience with the Manfrotto Lumie series? I can't find a lot of user feedback on the web which to me means either A: everyone who's bought them is busy happily shooting with them or B: nobody's bought them. ;) I'm looking at them as a possible lighting solution for tabletop...

I'm super-critical with my stock submissions and only submit them once I'm 100% sure they'll all pass. At some stage they stop looking quite so closely at your files if you have a good previous history with your submissions and I'd hate to get complacent and have something sub-standard slip...
