Thanks for the replies, just ordered an AD-E1 adapter

I’ve got some Yongnuo triggers/receivers that I used to use on a canon 6D to operate a couple of Lencarta smart flashes. I’ve just ordered a canon r50 and believe that these are not compatible with the new hotshoe, my question is what is the most budget friendly option to operate these flashes...

After selling 90% of my gear years ago, I’ve decided to have another dabble in this great hobby. I did keep a few bits including an old crop sensor body with a 50mm 1.8, 18-55, and a Tamron 24-70 2.8 that I had initially paired up with my full frame set up. Im not keen on the Tamron on the crop...

After a break of 5/6 years since working as a portrait and wedding photographer, I’m picking the camera back up as a hobbyist. Luckily I kept an old body with a few lenses and some bits of lighting, but I did get rid of my pc that had lightroom and photoshop on it. As I’m only dipping in...

I’m not too bothered about ff if I’m honest, what I should of said was I’d need at hotshoe

I’m not too bothered about ff if I’m honest, what I should of said was I’d need at hot shoe.

I’ve owned a canon 6d for a few years now and shot over a hundred weddings plus various other stuff with it. As I no longer shoot weddings and only use it for personal I’d like to downscale to either a good compact or mirrorless that’s smaller and hS a near equal image quality if that’s...

After not using my camera for what seems like an age, I gave it a run out over the weekend. It’s that long since I’ve done anything I’ve forgotten how to prep for export from lightroom. How should the settings be set? Does it make a difference how they’re set if I’m exporting for a 6x4 or 30x20?

Really the original question should of been what is the smallest modifier that I can get away with using, I want to travel light and want them to be less intrusive. Also with the two lights set up I will have one as a key and one as a fill, but not to the extent that it will give strong shadows...

I disagree @Phil V . I need the lights to be out of the way so at the sides is the only position for them. I'm not talking about level with the subject but at around 45 degrees. If I only had one it would give too much shadow on one side for the look I'm going for. I have done this before I'm...

Thanks @juggler. Maybe I should of been more clear. The set up wont be like a photo booth just the results will. I will set up a background where guests can wear photo booth style props and have their photos taken. I plan on lighting with a light either side, nothing fancy, just even light.

In a few weeks I will be shooting some location portraits, something like a style that you'd see from a photo booth. I will be shooting against a plain coloured background in a hotel and plan on using 2 lencarta studio heads. I have umbrellas, softboxes etc but was wondering what would be the...
