    Exactly every thing changes, especially the light as the sun and sky moves.

    Wedding photographer caused mayhem…

    For a real experience watch out for CofE Church Wardens. They have real power if they want to use it. It extends to the church and grounds. The celebrant only has authority over the service.

    How to separate negatives stuck together

    I would ask the advice of a museum conservatory specialising in restoring photographic images. The protein making up gelatine emulsions loses its integrity with age. And can easily melt or lose its adhesion with the film backing. And simply disintegrate and slide off. I would definitely not use...

    Critique Help please

    To be useful, lens flair is something to be controlled and used. It can equally totally destroy an image or enhance it. Each lens has its own characteristics and behaviours. Trial and error only helps if you remember what you did and can repeat it. Some lenses can prove far more useful than...

    The Hand works best as a shade when using a tripod. But on shorter lenses it can work. The other way is to put your whole self, camera and all, under the shade of something like a tree or hedge row. Makes you less conspicuous too. Need the instincts of a sniper. Keep down and light off the glass.

    It does not matter if It is a chair or a hare. If left up to the camera alone, back lit subjects will always be underexposed. It will usually take some two stops exposure compensation to expose the shadow side of the subject, so as to give anything like a natural look. Light directly into the...

    Money thoughts …

    Banks can only give advice about their own offerings. He would not have mentioned any others alternatives. Banks do not give independent advise. You can transfer between isa's as much as you like. but you can only invest a max of 20k new money in ISA's each year. It can be split between cash...

    There is no limit to how many isa''s. You can have. The only limit is how much you can deposit in them per year.

    What backing up equipment do you use when travelling

    Backing up to the cloud is probably the safest option, but data is not usually cheap when abroad. A solid drive, and lots of card for the originals seems the next best.

    Are you up for a challenge?

    These days I shoot almost everything with available light, however I manipulate that and the subject as necessary to show the subject as best I can, I have, but rarely use, flash guns for this purpose but often use reflectors where necessary. When shooting "things" it it is rarely about the...

    Tripod, Equipment and "Shills"

    Since for ever, cine triposa have always had a far heavier and stable build. Usually with split legs and braces, no centre column, and a fluid pan and tilt head, mounted on a half dome leveller. Unlike stills photography, a cine tripod is held and controlled during shooting, this adds major...

    If you change the colour mode to lab colour, you can burn using the luminance channel, with out increasing the saturation.
