Similar to some travel agents using a coconut / sun cream smell in their stores to get your brain in the holiday mode and evoke some good feelings about previous trips

Agree. I've had quite a few people notice me and then apologise and go to move out of the way. Little did they realise they'd already been snapped as it was them I wanted, not the mundane building in the background.

That's interesting, I'll have a play with a couple of portrait shots to see how it stacks up for me. Yes, the workflow seems more awkward for me and I cant see how it doesn't alter the raw image file (as yet). Makes me wary to process a bunch straight after a shoot.

Naturally. Anything new is always a little awkward and people are generally resistant to change. I was trying to find out if people are using this as their sole editing tool

I went back in March (enforced trip for my other half). Thought it was a great collection and very well curated. Thoroughly recommend it for anyone interested in street photography

Also worth getting to the venue and spending a little while selecting your vantage point. There will be places around the track that afford you a 3/4 on view or side view which can add some variety to your shots for the day if you mix it up a bit. Moving will also give you chance to practise...

The cliffs just up the road at Barton on Sea can be great for capturing the paragliders. Good to spend some time watching them launch and then skim the cliffs. Nice backdrop of the Needles too.

Thank you, yes I agree that ultimately I will decide if it’s right for me (in the same way as camera systems or cars), but I just wondered if I’d been too quick to judge and condemn. I thought if there were people with strong attitudes towards the benefits of using it and their images looked...

Thank you for your thoughts here, I recognise there are a few elements that I need to push on with, including how to edit a file without it altering the original (I heard it was non-destructive, but haven't found that to be the case so far). Looks like I need to find some more quiet time and...

I've sold to MPB a couple of times. On the first occasion they paid me a few quid more than their initial valuation. The second time I got the money as quoted. Can't fault their service and so much easier than selling privately.

Having bought a copy of ON1 Raw a few months ago, I'm finding it quite a struggle to migrate away from Affinity. I purchased it as I figured it would speed up my workflow, but in reality it just seems to slow everything down and requires much more balancing after any filters are applied. As a...

I find Bridge to be a great addition to my workflow as it allows me to peruse all my shots and run a first pass at grading them (finding which I like, rather than colour grading), I only take my 3* and above to Affinity Photo for developing and editing then, which are then saved as a high def...

They just knew how to nail a good "episode", with a decent pace to it all. Great behind the scenes elements and just enough of a push for me to get out and about to try some new things. I'm off to Skye in a few weeks and their Top Ten Locations vid was very helpful...

The groundsheet is a great idea, I usually sacrifice my coat.

Yes, that’s a good way of looking at it. Think I’ll pick up an Air 2s for the stills and expand my video skills with the M3P
