    Aperture or lightroom

    I've just changed from LR4 to LR5 and am really happy with it. I did have a look at Aperture but preferred LR.

    Ever wondered about the glamour of being a war photographer?

    Basra is pretty safe as most of bombings / trouble is in Baghdad and north of the country but you do need to have a sponsor to get in which is a real pain. I haven't taken a camera with me on my past two trips but I'm going to the next time I'm over there - seen some really interesting army...

    Ever wondered about the glamour of being a war photographer?

    Sorry for the delay in replying Martin - been a bit busy. I'm actually doing some HSE Consultancy work over there on a construction job for an oil company!! Used to do that type of work before moving into full-time photography. I'm lucky that the company are very flexible with my timings so I...

    Do you ever?

    I was just looking at photos I took at a wedding in 1978 on a Practika!! After all these years I think that I've improved quite a bit. Saying that its a bit difficult to compare now and then. Each year I spend a couple of days looking back at all my work critically and am always surprised...

    Ever wondered about the glamour of being a war photographer?

    I've just started working in the Basra area and looking at the photos nothing much has changed at all in the country. Only weapons on view now are Private Security Firms with AK's and the Iraqi military with the same!! Occasionally see a Hummer with a 0.5 mounted on it. I was really surprised...

    How to pose a model?

    If she's a professional model then she should know how to pose. An easy way is to go on the relevant image critique sections on this forum, find images similar to what you are trying to achieve and then read and follow the critiques. Just get some simple set poses in your mind and don't try to...

    Breaking the rules?

    I used to be a member of a camera club many moons ago and on critique evenings all I ever heard was "you must stick to the rules". I went out of my way to prove that you could win competitions by breaking the rules - it didn't work and eventually I was drummed out of the club. Rules are set by...

    what do you CANON or NIKON or.....

    I'm a Canon user but only because I bought into their system many, many years ago and know where all the menus are hidden. I used a Nikon a few weeks ago and was mighty impressed with the results but not enough for me to change.

    My first camera was....

    First SLR was a 2nd hand Praktica and I was so, so proud of it. Carried it around for years until it was stolen!!

    Couldn't believe my ears!

    That is a crazy offer but at the end of the day they can offer what they want. Pretty sure that you won't be buying from Calumet in the future. Interested in knowing why you want to update your D3S to a D4 if you have only had it for a year and put 3200 actuations through it?

    Flashcamera

    Quick update - I had an email from Flash Camera yesterday to say that the lens had been dispatched. It arrived this morning, well packaged and I've just put it onto the camera. All works really well. Very pleased with the price and the service offered from Kerso - certainly happy to recommend...

    Flashcamera

    Just ordered a 24-105 f4 L lens from Flashcamera (for my wife's 7d). Spent ages looking around the various suppliers but decided to go with Ian as I liked the comments that people have made on this forum. Got free delivery and as I paid by bank transfer another 1.5% off so I'm a happy banana...
