    Critique A recent wedding...

    It's also worth mentioning that this was a fairly late wedding so time was limited, with Ryan running around like a looney trying to make the best of the many different locations this venue had to offer. While as photographers we can pick apart poses, photographic style and the subtleties within...

    Soft box recomendations

    Lencarta are S-fit I believe, so Bessel make versions for S-fit and Elinchrom.

    Budget (ish) Portable flash

    I have the Atom 180 and it's fairly impressive, very portable, simple and robust. I also really like their triggers. Godox also produce the Xenergizer (Safari clone) and Ving flashgun (with lithium ion battery) all using the same triggers.

    On camera flash direct vs bounce?

    I'm fond of my Dembe big flip-it flash reflector thingie, pushes quite of bit a light forward (if you want, you can adjust the angle) to fill shadows and create catch lights. It's never off my flash at weddings.

    Soft box recomendations

    Bessel pop up softboxes are good value, pretty well built and come with grids. I have a 60x90 and a 120 octa.

    Wales Red squirrel(wales)

    Not wales but Center Parks (Whinfell Forest) loads of reds and very tame, really easy to set up shots, logs etc and shoot from your patio! 200-300mm lens is all you'll need. Oh and loads of Hazelnuts, they love em.

    Aperture to Lightroom

    I moved from Aperture fairly recently but not to lightroom (though I do own a copy). I loved aperture it's fast, intuitive and fun to use but the whole RAW processing engine needs a major overhaul. I've been waiting for the update for about a year now and just got fed up waiting. I now use...

    Advice Re Wireless Triggers

    I've tried loads of stuff and spent a fair few quid but my bestest purchases were good quality light stands...go figure

    Advice Re Wireless Triggers

    start with one light, a stand and a quality softbox and build from there. You can do great things with just one light source.

    70-200 Sigma or Canon?

    I had a nightmare with my siggie 70-200, shoot Nikon now and the nikon 70-200 is fantastic and the Canon is supposed to be every bit as good.

    Advice Re Wireless Triggers

    What are you going to photograph? I'd go TTL triggers if the subject is dynamic (children, sports etc) and manual triggers for portraits.

    Home studio shot

    Lovely Solemn expression, really good conversion and soft lighting, the little white highlight on the neck line draws my eye but I think it's because I noticed it and fixated on it. Left me thinking, what's she is thinking about.
