I thought the two replies after RMaynards were worse tbh, but it shouldn't matter. Photographers as a bunch tend to get hung up on pro and amateur so perhaps his use of the phrase was poor but here you have a low post count member who is offering constructive advice and an on topic tip… who...

A differing opinion!!! get him!!! :bat: but wait, he does have a point or two. The slow shutter blurry thing is (to borrow a DJ term) "rinsed" so why not try something different? RMaynard has laid down a challenge, rise to it and then go further! and posting pics of drunk people with eyes...

Frank is awesome, I've picked up some tips and tricks from him over the years and did meet him once briefly, cool guy. May 2013 it says… might have to put aside a few pennies

I guess the cover cuts some light? In a low ceilinged room the flash bouncing off it will be greater than a tall room while in both cases the light being dispersed (not diffused) in other directions will be the same. That said, I can't think of a use case for something like this unless you...

And of course, not to forget the 18-55 USM which was a version of the original 18-55 but only sold with the Japanese Kiss Digital (300D) kits There is an 18-55 USM II which i think came with the Japanese 350D/400D Supposedly marginally better optically (maybe a greener grass kinda thing?)

Slightly longer than normal shutter speed and zoom out (:thinking: or in, depends if 1st or 2nd curtain sync) while the shutter is still open. Maybe 1/2 to 2 seconds? The 2nd picture you can see multiple green outlines on the chap on the right so the sequence is Shutter Open Flash pops...

Voted 8, it had the most "interestingness" to me, maybe not the most technically accurate but the boy is communicating with the viewer well.

Due to the way cameras work, with very few exceptions*, I consider all photos post processed. As John mentions this was especially true in the film days but also my gfs Sony p&s does so much to the colours that a normal pic almost looks HDRish Those who say they don't post process in a...

:thumbsdown: His point about more flattering is completely correct, see here for a series of examples http://www.stepheneastwood.com/tutorials/lensdistortion/strippage.htm In the 350mm shot the whole face looks quite flat, the distance between the nose and ears is quite small compared to...

Colour temp without getting into the chemistry/physics behind it is how you set what a neutral colour is in your photo. The sun is a good reference point and is roughly 5600K which is probably why you were recommended that. Outdoors, sunshine, 5600K, good place to be! But if we wander into the...

Best bet would probably be a 2nd hand 7D, these seem to be going for £900-950 so down the road a bit should be safely into your budget, not many 2nd hand as they are fairly new though. Its a 1.6x crop, 18MP sensor, 8fps and pretty decent AF, oh and its got all movie recording stuff as well...

I'd be very tempted to make a 25x25 cove area in one corner and then just have the boudoir stuff on that and drop backgrounds on it as and when you need to. Should leave plenty of room for changing areas/toilets/kitchen/makeup on one side with room for moving lights around. Not sure if that...

Only 300 miles for me, would be a fun meetup though i wouldn't expect to get much photography done :D

I remember seeing a video a long time ago where a guy was shooting a catwalk show in a school gym so basicly with crap lighting. What he did was took 2 flashes and taped them to a wall and aimed them at a sweet spot at the stage, think he was getting f4-5.6 off the flashes, not a lot but enough...
