With all the madness around us currently I decided to spend some time with the animals at Cotswold Wildlife Park.

What camera/lens set up were you using? For pub setting generally there's little lighting available so will always be difficult. I've found you need a 'fast lens' and are always looking for light when shooting live music.

Taken at the GWSR this past weekend, first weekend of running I gather.

As others have said try other brands, see what feels right for you in terms of where the buttons are, how the menu's come across to you, the size and weight of the camera with particular lenses, possibly the ones you want, and then make your decision. I use Canon for the above reasons. I did try...

First 35mm camera was a Boots Beirette, first interchangeable lens camera was a Praktica MTL3, and currently using a Canon R6ii.

Mine went up, although I tried other sites I couldn't get it any lower, I'd pretty much resigned myself to have to absorb the increase, but after checking the documents I noticed a minor error according to the policy, I had the vehicle since 2021, when it was actually 2019, result a much lower...

I succumbed too recently decided my 70-200 EF lens needed replacing, I'd had it 10 years though I reckon, upgraded it with an RF version, used it on a Friday night shoot.

£29 for shell energy [now octopus] and I get 207mb, its fine for my needs, but when 18 months is up I will be checking again for another deal, loyalty does not pay to appears anymore.

Having had to deal with this myself, I approached the person using my image, initially they apologised and wanted me to accept a 'gentleman agreement' about use of said image. I refused, after several email exchanges I agreed to a figure that they donated to a charity of my choice. I insisted on...

Snagged a new bag reduced for £249 to £173 and a free gift from WEX, and two SD cards reduced from £31 for £16 from amazon.

I have a case logic bag, bought a while back, It was a clearance item from WEX, I assume because no one wanted the bag in blue, The only issue I have with it is its not waterproof, but to get around that I have a cover if needed. It's served me well but now on the look out for something else, I...

Just moved over to an R + R6ii set up, very pleased with this set up for taking into those dark photo pits in venues.

Apologies if this has already been asked, but having a few issues with my 24-70 lens. It was bought about 7 years ago and is heading back to the repairers again, after it failed for the second time on a shoot. At the time I had a spare lens at the time, a nifty fifty. The first time it was a...
