Tried to tether my 5d mark ii with Lightroom today on my MacBook Pro. Lightroom would not detect camera. It recognised there were pictures on the memory card but just would not tether. Checked firmware was up to date. Lightroom is always updating to latest edition via adobe Don’t have any issues...

Looking to take my 430ex iii-RT off the body. I have a skyports transmitter which came with a set of d-lite 4’s but those lights have an in built receiver. not looking to spend too much but don’t want to pay too cheap and regret it. Ideally would like triggers to have a good range, easy to...

I’ve decided to claim anyway. Insurance states like for like do not sure what that would get me now in 2019 from a 2011 model 550d

I will leave it a week to dry out and see what happens

Just an update. Just inserted another battery. The display came back on asking me to set date and time. As I lifted the camera to do so the display went off again. I think it needs a few days to dry out ?

I’ve had this camera for a while now as it’s been a godsend on occasions. So I took it out to an event last night and the heavens opened and it poured it down. Knowing the camera is not waterproof I tried to keep it under cover during heavy periods but did use it under light rain. On return...

So I’ve been doing lots of product photography lately for a local business, and to date the pics have been coming out just fine. The only drawback are the requirements. They are: it must have a white background to sell items online through the big sites. I cannot show other items within the shot...

Also played around with my new vape which I’m pleased with

Final image completed and I’m happy with it thank god

Well I’ve set it all up the same as I have been doing. Turns out the light meter works better with a new friggin battery installed! Typical. I’m getting wonderful exposures now but hey ho another learning curve

This was my other attempt but I’m after the shadow from the badge and don’t want to cheat using photoshop as I’m not brilliant with the application. I’m ok with lightroom but photoshop to me is a nightmare

Ok so I’ll answer a few questions I’m using a Sekonic meter with the dome covering the lens. I had it set to ISO100 and had set it for f.4 initially as that’s what I wanted to shoot at. The only difference I did the previous night was to place the pin badge on the surface of an iPad screen...

I was using hand held meter set to flash not ambient. Camera in manual with same shutter speed and ISO settings. I played around with the d lites adjusting the lights but the only thing that eventually resolved was changing the camera f stop to around f18 and above. The meter was being held in...

It was merely just a case that it appears the site admin is passing it off as his own creation (relevant to the site) whereas he could have asked me direct could he use it. But the more I think about it having read the latest legislation it becomes the same ordeal for him having copied it from...
