It's generally the older guys who have been around since the year dot and are reluctant to change. Anyone with a bit of savvy has worked out that you get the camera to do the hard work. I use these camera settings in all lighting conditions for sport. Although it's not quite as severe as a...

Much better. I shoot sports all the time and I use auto-iso in Aperture priority. Nothing wrong with it as long as you set the minimum shutter speed quite high. I sit on the goal line between all the other pros in the summer time with a huge shadow caused by the stadium right across the...

I hope you are being funny! Have you looked at the pictures? :cuckoo: Nice set. The only thing I would have liked different in the last one is that I'd liked to have seen the car lit as well so that the lighting level on the seats and the car were the same. Just my preference though.

Correct. I had a D90 as a backup to my D300, but just got rid of the d90 because someone offered me a ridiculous price for it and bought a D7000 which, from initial tests has incredible low light ability.:thumbs:

The shots that come out of that "Half camera" will knock the socks off the D2Xs every time. My main camera is a D300 with the grip and I bought a D2XS as a backup body. It's just older technology and the shots are not anywhere as nice. Got rid of it after about 3 months because although it...

Must admit I have a soft spot for little bunnies sitting at the side of the road. What focal length did you use to get so close to them?

Whenever I walk into a press room at a ground I hear some people b*tching about other photographers and having a go at folk all the time. I just keep a low profile and only engage in the odd bit of small-talk/banter. Another guy from the agency came with me to a game and he was basically...

Super super cute!!! Nice processing too.

awww baws!!! just seen this! Would have liked to have entered. :(

:agree: +10

Yup...... 1/400 - 1/500th is the MINIMUM I would go to and that's only if shooting at night under floodlights. In daylight you should be aiming for nearer 1/800 - 1/1000th or higher. Cards are SO cheap these days that you should never be frightened of running out of memory. I just got another...

One quick question.... How many jobs are out there that 16yr olds can do will pay £10 an hour? Give it a go, take the shots and don't think about it. what they are doing with the shots afterwards is of no concern to you. Just see it as shooting for £10 an hour without having to do any...

Agree with Dod.... Bum shots :thumbsdown: (although they are the trademark of a photographer we know) 2nd one a tad early, but don't worry about the background unless there's something REALLY obvious or sticking out their heads. Some people like lots going on because it makes it look like...

Kit lenses take shots in focus too you know... even sony ones!:thumbs: Cool Gecko though! :thumbs:

Not Mushroom for complaint there! :lol:
