I have recently experienced some metering issues whilst photographing a local 10K run. I have my camera set to Manual, aperture set to f5.6, Shutter speed set to 1/500 sec, and ISO set to Auto. I was using eye-tracking focus in Servo Mode, Evaluative Metering and back button focus. The majority...

Trying out my R5 at Rhossili Bay on a very windy morning.

I’ve had my R5 for a couple of months and am really happy with it. However, yesterday I came across my first issue. I had the 100-500mm lens on the R5, in servo mode, animal eye detect, mechanical shutter, burst drive setting and RAW. I was shooting birds at my local nature reserve, and had...

Apologies if this has been asked before, but I’ve done a search and cannot find anything. I use a Lexar 128GB CFExpress Card in my R5, and have noticed that when I insert the card in the Lexar CFExpress Card reader connected to my iMac, after downloading the files to my computer and eject the...

I have a Manfrotto Ball Head (486RC2) with a quick release place, and want to convert it to an Area Swiss plate. I’ve just purchased a Haoge Area Swiss place hit with the appropriate bolt and washer. I’ve found a Youtube video which shows how to change the plates, but my Manfrotto plate does...

My original images that I took to Jessops were sRGB, but as stated the results were terrible. I will try calibrating my screen and try saving an image in different colourspaces to see which works best.

I have just upgraded to a new iMac with Retina 5K display. I have processed a few photographs on it using Lightroom and Photoshop just to test things out. So far happy. However, I did a quick test by taking a couple of images that I had processed to Jessops to test the printing, and to say I was...

Thanks Simon I will take a look [emoji106]

I currently use an iMac which is starting to show signs of age, and unfortunately it is a model (late 2013) where the RAM cannot be updated very easily. I now have to decide whether to upgrade to a newer model iMac with SSD and a large external hard drive or move to Windows 10. I’ve been...

I recently purchase a Citi600 light from this site, and a great light it is. I am now looking for an inexpensive boom arm to connect the light with my light stand, to allow more options when using the light. I am concerned that some of the cheaper ones on eBay will just not support the weight of...

Thanks for the response - great instructive video as well - very clear to understand.

I'm considering trying tethering to a laptop with my 7D MKii. When the camera downloads the image to the laptop does it also write the image to the card in the camera, or only to the laptop?

Although I’ve been an active photographer for many years, mainly landscape and wildlife, I’ve never really got around to the use of Flash. The last few miserable months of rain has led me to start considering more indoor photography (portraits etc.) where flash would be essential. I’ve watched...
