The advice from you was at the reebok, you said somthing along the lines of a blurred photo wont sell but a noisy one will so push the IOS if needed to get the shutter speed needed you can fix the noise later if needed

Bit late to the party on this one but I was told by someone at my 1st pro match that the money shots are the goal and celebration shots so concentrate on those and put the short lens on your best body for those. Thanks Phil (purpleclouds) for that advice I always remember it. I had 2 1dmk4's and...

I receiently came across something I hadn't done before. I suspect it is my lack of lightroom knowledge more than anything. I was running a print station using Lightroom with a dyesub for printing photos and a laser printer for printing contact sheets. Every time I was doing a print I would need...

That is so true, when I bought my 1D I was shooting with a 1D and a 500D, I stopped using the 500D and started swapping lenses. solution was to buy a 2nd 1D

short lens round the neck and long on a monopod, spin it round over the shoulder and shoot with the other body pretty easy hairy at first but you find that little hole in your neck/shoulder where it fits perfectly

I have a Crumpler something 7500 small bag fits a canon 1D with a short lens mounted, flash and another lens and pocket for a few bits like batteries and memory cards. I usually take 16-35, 70-200 and 24-70 all f/2.8 when I travel and take 2 lenses depending on what I am doing that day. Usually...

Shooting mass participation events is not as easy as it looks. Thousands of people running past you so finding 1 specific person is going to be your first challenge so you say I will be at this point on the route so run on this side of the road and jump around looking a fool as you approach so I...

My new clamp arrived this morning and there is no comparison in the quality between this and the smallrig ones. I am thinking about getting another to mount a studio flash head to the pole as well I think it will work well.

ok so thinking the Manfrotto 035 Magic clamp and a Manfrotto 037 with the ball head should have me covered.

Ermmm trying not to comment, not quite sure how using duct tape would make it adjustable I thought Duct tape was for holding bumpers, wing mirrors and wings on to cars,? not cameras to poles? I have a small rig clamp, not really too impressed with it to be honest, I don't think its wide enough...

Which spigot? I have never used a magic clamp so not sure exactly which one I need.

Its a speaker stand so about 30mm diameter, not very high up and needs to be fixed to the side or in front of the pole, on top is not an option.

I am looking for suggestions on this one I need to mount a DSLR to a vertical pole and it needs to be able to support a fair bit of weight as using a canon 1D and 24-70mk1 so about 2.5kg I think. more weight support would be better for me to make it as stable as possible. Any suggestions, not...

I guess the elite league is not as strict as the premier keg ice hockey league? Who would not allow any dslr photography unless you were accredited/official during games when I used to go watching Manchester phoenix
