My favourite combo at the moment is a Nikon 810 or D750 with a 24-120 f4 lens. Unless I've something specific in mind then I've a selection of primes to choose from. I'm not really into wild life photography or plants. I haven't a clue what's what. |

Re: Today in pictures
It's more than just having the best cameras MARGARET, the eye behind the lens is most important.
My partner studied fine art at John Moores University and I met her friend who studied with her a few weeks ago. She had taken most of the monochrome photos for a BBC documentary about the old Liverpool docks and the demolition of them and old Liverpool. I was very interested in what equipment she used and was amazed when she said "A LUMIX bridge camera on auto and an eye for a scene' and like me doesn't like too much processing and editing. Just goes to show. Biggest isn't always best. |
Re: Today in pictures
I have a couple of LUMIX camera's...I also have A Fuji compact which I carry everywhere.
You can have the most sophisticated camera in the world, but if you do not know how to use it, then it is wasted...equally having a 'feel' for a shot...and of course being in the right place at the right time are all good ingredients for a good picture. Pictures are also a very personal thing. The shot you take means something to you because it is a moment in time, in your life. It may evoke different emotions from someone who views the shot. It used to be that National Trust properties did not allow you to take photographs(I do not know if this is still the case).They would, however, let you buy a compilation of shots taken by a professional photographer...on glossy paper and not cheap. I would prefer that places like this would allow you to purchase a licence to take photographs that are personally meaningful. I am sure this would be cost effective to them. No outlay on paper, printing costs and a photographer. |
Re: Today in pictures
I had to purchase a licence to take photographs in Peterborough Cathedral, got a big label to fix to my coat.
I've taken photos in the big house on Angelsey and that near Bangor(you know the ones Margaret) but flash wasn't allowed. Luckily my camera takes pretty good photo with hi ISO settings in low light. |

Same goes for other museums etc, Howarth Art Gallery does allow any photography inside (and it'd be probably be limited to personal use of the outside only given that it's private property), when I went to Helmshore Textile Musuem I had to sign a form saying that I wouldn't use images taken inside commercially. |

Just a few from the last few years, all of Robins in natural habitats, the 3rd image was taken earlier this year not 15ft from the one I posted... |
Re: Today in pictures
That should be 'Howarth Art Gallery doesn't allow any photography inside', damn that Edit Post option disappears quickly....

The big house on Anglesey is another one I have happily snapped away in(without flash). Osborne House does not allow you to take any pictures inside the house...flash or no flash. Indeed, I was stopped from taking a picture of the grounds from an upper storey window. I thought that was a bit excessive seeing as my photography was harming none of the artefacts inside the house. I just wanted a good vantage shot. They have stewards(plural) in every room and corridor. Needless to say I did not splurge on the photographic souvenir of the place. |

It wasn't a special occasion either. My partner took some of me posing by the piano also. That was a couple of months ago. |
