    Copyright question

    Hi All, A question I am hoping you can help with. In the UK if someone displays a group photo online with multiple people and one of the subjects (previously willing participant) now wants the photo taken down due to privacy concerns. What rights does this 'subject' have? I understand, because...

    Requesting Website feedback

    Ouch :sulk: But fair points, I really appreciate the direct feedback. Thank you! :) This is my first attempt, very crude and it absolutely has gaps. I was also hoping to have something more than just a basic photography website, hence the choice of theme. I am now thinking whether I need to keep...

    MacBook Air for image editing on the go?

    I have used Air 11'' for almost 4 years now (so pretty ancient tech wise). I use both Photoshop and Lightroom on it occasionally and don't have any complaints. It does the job. I prefer the screen to most win-tel laptops I have used. Would it be able to handle a few hundred images being bulk...

    Laptop for video editing

    Take that back not particularly clever use of jargon from me. You are correct. Possibly ... too many writes, esp during activities such as what the OP intends to do? Anyways, I digress. Back to OP Can't say I have worked on multi-edit's on a laptop. A quick look at recommended spec here...

    Laptop for video editing

    Interesting spec. Which vendor is this from out of curiosity? Aside from the fact that feels like a rather heavy laptop I wouldn't want to personally lug around you should be OK using Premiere on this. I would recommend using external rugged drives if you are on the road a lot. Cooling may also...

    Transporting equipment - shoulder pain

    Thanks for your replies. I am generally quite fit (or consider myself to be) - martial arts and weight training by hobby and a reasonable amount of cardio. However, whilst looking around for packs I booked me in to have my shoulders/back looked at ... turns out I not only have a shoulder...

    Transporting equipment - shoulder pain

    Thanks for your responses and suggestions. I am looking at the options mentioned here and they seem miles better than what I use to carry my gear 50mm 1.4 was the one I didn't use. Big zoom 2.8 aperture I did use for bird flight and an indoor sporting event The Kata I use is a few years old...

    Transporting equipment - shoulder pain

    Generally I would carry minimal gear (body + lens 1 or 2 + tripod) plus accessories such as spare batteries and cards etc, but that too can get uncomfortable after some time. I did mainly *scapes and some macro travelling around Japan. Couldn't really store my gear anywhere as I didn't stay...

    IR Photography - Canon

    Hello All, beginner question here - I understand simply using an IR filter potentially increases stops to between 2 to 4. Has anyone used 5DMKii for IR with just filters, what are the results like? If a converted SLR is indeed the best way to get IR photos, can someone recommend a reasonably...
