The reason I'm asking is simply because I've had trouble keeping my camera completely still when shooting multi-exposure HDR or long exposure landscape photography on windy days. I've tired ...

ND1000 Help

Hi All, I've recently been shooting landscape using a ND1000 filter. One area I'm trying to accurately measure is balancing the exposure with the ND1000 filter. I'm aware that my Hoya ND1000 is reducing light by 10 stop, so to obtain the correct exposure you must multiply your shutter speed by 1000....

I appreciate he gives his time for free and shares his knowledge freely. His understanding for lighting a se...

Best Ultra Wide Lens for a cropped sensor camera?

Hi All @ ADAPS Can anyone recommend a really nice ultra wide angle lens for my Canon 700D? I've been looking at the Sigma 10-20mm f/3.5 EX DC HSM and the Sigma 8-16mm f/4.5-5.6 DC HSM? This review from the link below says Canons own ultra wide lens is not as good as these Sigma lenses. http://www.te...

Canon zoom lens for Rome ? Any recommendations ?

Hi All, Can anyone recommend a good all around zoom lens for my Canon 700D? I'm off to Rome in August and want a single lens that will do pretty much everything from landscape to Portraits. I've been reading DPReview and they say stay clear of the 18-135mm f/3.5-5.6 STM. Any help is much appreciated...
