Thanks Shams, any real camera movement was done with the cheap panning head (with GoPro), the rest is a panning effect added in post. Thanks for the tip with the Title. I was following a tutorial and seeing how many effects can be applied at once :) I'll be looking to replace it in time so...

Wow, I just reviewed the video on youtube and it had all sorts of swaying going on. Found out that, when youtube told me there was some camera shaking and it could fix them for me, I said yes. What a mistake that was!! I have taken off youtube's enhancements now so it should look much better...

Thanks Rich. Most of the movement was done in post, but there are couple of clips (the shopping centre for example) that was done with a go-pro on a panning head. It was only a cheapy and unfortunately I think you can see it's not as smooth as some of the other movements.

Hi all I've been toying with time lapse a little recently, and started collecting short clips which I decided to put into a proper video / short film. I quiet enjoyed the whole process and am looking to continue to play in this area when I'm not shooting stills. I'd like some feedback on this...

Just thought I'd update this one. I tried to use the RED10 voucher for the Redsnapper 284M Tripod, but it had expired a few days earlier. Emailed sales@ and got a reply within minutes (on a Monday morning no less) letting me know the voucher date has been renewed and I could continue my...

It was indeed an old named range. I should have known really as there are multiple named ranges in the sheet, I just hadn't expect Excel to react like that mid-formula. The named range was just that single cell, I guess in the past it was used as a note, all very odd. I agree Alastair, using the...

I would agree some of the first names are pretty normal, and maybe the middle names are less important, but collectively that is a group of weird names.

No children myself as yet, though we have had brief chats about names, I think we'll likely choose fairly traditional names but we'll see. Unusual names can be interesting, but there are times where it's hard to not think it's just pretentious. Take Jamie Oliver's children for example: Daisy...

So my wife often asks me Excel questions as the 'Excel guy' at her work that people insist on getting to do things is, well, just not as good as you'd think he should be. She works at a bank so unfortunately I cannot share the actual spreadsheets for obvious reasons, but the issue is easy to...

Yep spot on mate. I'll be borrowing another of yours in the next couple of months actually. I'll be looking for a nice wide fast lens for some milky way shots! Need to do some researching first but I'll certainly be in touch!

Is there no improvement on auto focus with the canon macro? The AF on the sigma is horrendous, not a problem for macro but for general use it's horrible

I suspect if you compare 2 photos, one taken at 200mm f5.6 (max on my old sigma) and one at f2.8 you could easily see the difference. Also if you shot 2 pictures at 200mm at 1/200 sec one without any IS and one with IS you would also easily be able to see the difference...? Again if you tried to...

The Phantoms are very easy to use. They are also very easy to go far away from you so some is needed. I have a Phantom 2 and GoPro camera. If you want good video results, you'll want a gimbal. Look into this sort of thing as you will likely have to fit it yourself or pay someone to fit it, and...

Surface Pro 4 is very good for what you need. The i5 version runs photoshop very well, but if your only looking for lightroom / image previews then the m3 (cheapest) version will be more than sufficient. Good battery life, stunning screen (as close to a mac screen as I've seen), light and fast...

I number of years ago I sold my Sigma 55 - 250mm F 4 - 5.6 and bought a Canon 70 - 200mm F2.8 IS L. I am not a pro, and this was a huge amount of money for me to spend so was not a decision taken lightly. The reason? I'd hired one for a few days and was shocked by the difference. Now obviously...
