I read somewhere someone's advice and they were adamant about keeping the shutter high. I was a little pressed for time as it was all last minute so I was a bit rushed.

I'm about to buy my first additional lens & was hoping for some guidance on which to get. I do mainly portrait photography, in a makeshift home studio, occasionally on location. I'm going to be doing a practice shoot next week with a preschool class. So lots of individuals then a few group...

You guys are great, thank you so much for that! I have another tomorrow, I will tweak the shutter speed. It is actually a much better lit up area this time. I didn't anticipate that post editing would make a big difference, but I'll definitely play around with it and see what I get!

I was hoping for some advice. I recorded a school performance yesterday and (seeing as it was the very first time doing this and also the first time really using my Canon to record video) I also recorded with a Huawei P20 phone as a backup option. So I looked at the end result and the phones...

Thank you! Oh I just reread my post.... I did not actually intend for it to sound like I needed it to game on as well. I'm totally focussed on making all the investments for improving my photos.

Thank you so much for the input! Much appreciated. Do no you mind me asking what's the main difference in the 2? Is it just the size? I just want to learn more about the specs and what it is that makes for a good editing monitor. And as a general rule, how long would you hold onto a monitor...

I was hoping for some thoughts on this monitor? I'm trying to learn all I can. I'm a gamer, well I was before the kids came along! So always focused all my energy and pennies into the gaming PC and just got the cheapest and biggest monitor. So now trying to get my head around what's needed in...

This is amazing, thank you so much!

I always forget this! I have a Canon EOS 700D with the standard lens that came with it, EF-S 18-55 mm f/3.5-5.6 IS STM Lens.

Apologies, I didn't notice the sport one.

I took some photos of my son this morning after his MMA training session. I wanted some action shots for a school project. I did a bit of research as I wasn't sure about the settings. What I got from that was to put the shutter speed high, at 500 (which in fact I had to go take down to 200 due...

Thank you so much guys! I'll get some new ones, now I know what I'm looking for.

Each time I think I've 'gotten it' it goes off-script again :D So initially I had a working arrangement with it, whereby I would make sure to switch everything on in sequence and this was working fine, for like 6 or so different shoots and then suddenly it stopped working properly mid-shoots.

Thank you all for you responses! I have 2 Interfit ex150 flashes, a Kenro infrared flash transmitter (it doesn't have a model number but I did a reverse image search of it and found the exact same one except it was an Interfit one, but also no model number available) and a pixel TF-322 which I...

I bought some studio flashes 2nd hand last year which have been working great. He gave me 2 triggers along with it, one which is wireless and a wired one. Both work, but they take ages to set up. So they just don't respond first time, it takes me turning everything off, and turning each thing...
