Sold the 5DMk2 and the 40D

I have decided to part with the 5D Mk2 and the 40D and stick with the good old Canon 5D. I am now taking my own advice i give out every week at training workshops. I am limiting my kit and keeping it very simple. My main reason is the 5Dmk2 has horible colour problems. The 40D has great colour but poor sharpness and weirdness that i cant explain without showing you. The 5D has great colour great sharpness great exposure latitude/ tonal range and just works without having to think. Canon also put the ISO button in different positions on all three cameras which makes them a pain to use together when you are in a hurry. I think canon will need to produce a brand new camera from the ground up like nikon have with the D3. Its time for them to decide on a standard layout of controls and make camera 'SIMPLE' to use....that is all we want. SIMPLE cameras.

Starting Your Photography Business

It is now wedding season and we are run off our feet, but i still like to offer the odd days training. I get asked allot 'How do you make a living from photography'.

I have to be honest and say that for the first ten years of being an amateur photographer i had no idea how to make a living from photography. I remember going to business link to see if they could help. I was told that photography businesses had such a poor reputation 'for success' that they could offer no funding. I have never been one for giving up and so i read an article by an American photographer called Gary Fong and that changed everything. I decided to set up a wedding photography business and have never looked back. The best advice i can give anyone who would like to set up a photography business is look towards the USA and be positive.

Buying Your First Digital SLR

When people attend our workshops the first thing they want to know is what gear is the best and what to buy. This may sound strange but i personal think you could go into a camera shop now close your eyes -point at the wall of cameras and pick any camera and it would be good. Technology has made 'so called amateur cameras' as good as most professional cameras. Could a photograph a wedding with a budget SLR?? Yes.

Example Canon 350 D = £250

                 Canon 50mm 1.8 = £75

                 Canon 75-300 = £80

                 Canon 28mm 2.8 = £90

                 Total £495.00

The canon 350D is an 8 megapixel camera that is useable upto ISO 800. The canon 50mm 1.8 is a great lens on the cropped sensor 350D and is very sharp at f2. The 75-300 i used for years and is a brilliant lens. The 28mm 2.8 i still use today as it has very little distortion and is easy to use. You do not have to spend a fortune to produce great work.

Canon G10 - Landscapes The Lens

The lens is great to the zoom is about 28-140mm (35mm equiv). The quality of this little camera is amazing me.

Canon G10 - Landscapes

I have been using the canon g10 this week and have been very impressed with this little camera. I have used it as ISO 80 in manual mode to produce a series of landscape images. The quality and tonal range from this small sensor at ISO 80 is superb. To be able to carry a 14.7 mp sensor with full manual control wherever you like without the weight of a digital SLR is great. I would be happy to print the files at A2 size and this little camera has now become my landscape camera.
