Probably need to clear your cache.

Is it better to always shoot in RAW or does it only tend to be beneficial if you're wanting to do a lot of editing? Does anyone know of any YouTube videos that show how to this? Many thanks A1: Always shoot in RAW. More flexibility. A2: Phlearn has some good tutorials. For example: https://www.yout...

Thank you to everyone for a varied collection of images. Alasdair This has all the hallmarks of a classic Alasdair Field image, down to the almost de rigueur camera tilt. The building is pleasantly lit and exposed, however I feel you've taken the shot a touch too late, rendering the sky totally blac...

Speedlight or studio flash? Or both?

Very sharp images. Good stuff.

I like the purple leaves, but doesn't the small white blob bug you? (I'd have to clone it out)
