    The TP "Official" guide to sports stadiums

    Sorry - can't recall. I was shooting with a D4, and D3s not the brightest I have ever worked at but not too bad.

    The TP "Official" guide to sports stadiums

    Hi - I shot an FA Cup game there three years ago vs Arsenal. So it is possible that this has changed....the ground is exceptional for what was a Championship club, really premier league quality in advance of them making it. You need to get parking sorted through your agency. Once done you have...

    Pedal Power Thread

    Just had my road bike re-checked after 10 months of riding and as I had changed my shoes and saddle (through choice) and seatpost (not through choice - got jammed). Mine was a Retul fit so we compared measurements and movement data and got me comfy again, with 12mm less hip movement (which is...

    Sporting Events

    If you must troll do you think that you could think of an original inflammatory statement instead of wheeling out the old "If these pro's were any good at their job, they wouldn't be getting so worried about things."

    What would I gain by having a......

    Used one all the time when I was on manual Bronica 6x6 cameras, and 35mm film with strobes. Since I had a histogram to work with I have sold mine. It had some use when I was trying to get ratios on multiple lights perfect but with experience I can do that on the histogram, and an assistant /...

    Talk to me about monopods and what sort of head for a long lens..

    This. Although I use the collar on the only lens I use it with (400mm f2,8) to rotate it to portrait.

    Photo Journalism Gear, wifi bits & bobs to plug in and send images fast...

    3/4G is plenty good enough to send images out to newspapers. It is what sports and news photographers use day in day out in many UK football stadiums (few with ethernet pitchside and often wifi is slow/unreliable), but obviously in more remote places as well. What you don't do is send 15-20MB...

    Pedal Power Thread

    I started using my Tacx trainer with my regular Schwalbe One (summer) tyre, and after a couple of sessions had a covering of black dust around the trainer where it had worn the tyre. At £25-£30 a pop, I wasn't keen to wear them out when I managed to pick up a tacx turbo tyre for £15 on Amazon...

    Pedal Power Thread

    This is very close to my setup, although I also have a Stages power meter on a crank arm. Zwift works perfectly with this setup - I got it setup in August and have been using more frequently this month now the weather is getting worse. Although you might want to check out Amazon Italy for the...

    Lens hood protecting the lens?

    But they only ever a basic shape and wouldn't provide the correct level of shielding or indeed cut out areas for wide lenses. Cheap and a little bit basic for pro-kit.

    2X Converters Good or Bad

    This, and of course if it enables you to get a shot you wouldn't be able to achieve without one, in which case absolute quality is tempered with need to get the image. I'm not sure about the Canon extenders anymore - my MkII version back in 2008 was soft but then everything was I took with the...
