Composition is such a simple thing, but a lot trickier to nail than most realise. I'm still guilty of just 'taking a photo', only to realise when I get home how poorly composed it is. I trying to get into the habit of spending 5-10 seconds for every photo JUST to think about the composition...

A 1.4 lens would be good for candid street photography shots, but not great for 'landscape' shots.

50mm wil be too much, you won't fit anything in (especially on a cropped sensor). 18mm is much better for what you will need.

Sack the gorilla pod, a lot of the photos look pretty blurred because of it. The main thing I would criticise is the composition of many of the photos. For example, In 1, 2 and 9, I would avoid putting one of the main focuses of the photo slap bang in the middle. Remember the rule of thirds...

Go for a wee!!! No chance! There's so much to think about, you forget you need the toilet. To give you an idea of how 'on it' you are at a wedding, at my first, which was Jay's.....I was ill for a few days after from dehydration.....seriously! It was a stupidly hot day, and I didn't drink a...

And get that photo on 500px too! Quality like that deserves to be on that site.

Martin that is faultless! Get that on a poster on your wall NOW!!

Nice shot Nick. Next step is to get some stands so you can have the lights off the ground, and more importantly, out of shot too. But the lighting on the car is good, as you say.....clipping in places.

Them feckin Hondas stand no chance on the straights now ;)

Nice light painting :) Watch the tripods next time ;)

I really like the camera access. Haven't used my phone long enough to notice a difference with the battery.

Thanks! I also like how covert taking photos with an iPhone is too lol! No shutter noise, and you can hold it as if you were holding it normally.

^Tricky shot to edit, as you have two very different colour balances. The cool white from the flash, and the warmer sunset. Not sure what I'd do with that. Here's some snaps from Qatar, all taken with the iPhone 4S - still impressed with it!! But normal service will be resumed when I...

At my last wedding the only chance I got to change lenses was at the brides house, where everything was at a slow pace as they were all getting ready.....and during dinner after the wedding itself. (where I don't normally take photos). Apart from that, you are on it 100% of the time.

A 70-200mm 2.8 is a fantastic lens. Pretty much every wedding tog will have one of those. I could almost do a wedding with just a 24-70 and 70-200. That's also an essential lens as at 200mm you can be out of the way but still close to the action. If you get a VR version, that is amazing in low...

I'm pretty sure a lot of things you buy from Apple direct are refurbs!! So not many cons.

Yes exactly. It's not as hard as it sounds, but requires a bit of practice and careful reviewing of the photos on site too.

Thats the tricky bit. Just careful blending in photoshop, and taking care when taking the photos.

Yes, unless you reduced your shutter speed. For a complex shot like that I would do multiple exposures, one for the motorway (maybe even another one for the sky) and definitely one each for the cars. So much going on otherwise.

Nice attempts! Just need more light on the car, or use a bigger aperture possibly.

To me, a body with amazing high ISO performance is a MUST!! So I say get a D700 lol! Probably impractical.....but as you don't have uber expensive fast glass, you may struggle in a lot of cases. Get rid of the 50mm 1.8 if you have the 1.4. I can't imagine the 70-300 being amazing optically...

Re: iPad 3 - March 7th. Will they talk about new things in iOS5.1? If not then I'm off to bed :(

Confirmed no, but very certain yes.

Can of worms opened.

^Hasnt that been pretty much confirmed? There's been loads of photos of the new display leaked on the net showing a MUCH higher res display.

Re: brake upgrades for 1.2 16v?????? The 1*2s don't even need 4pots, let alone a 1.2!! Get better pads. End.

Wow great stuff Martin!!

Pretty sure you have to take the dash out to get to those.

There's a good forum called timescapes that will probably have loads of info on that.

Nice sunset this evening
