Got everything packed up.. Fully charged my battery, made a packed lunch, stuck the tripod in the car. Then it starts chucking it down .

Just my luck...

Cumbria.. Lake district.. The sun came out though so I just went for a walk round the countryside a 5 minute walk from here. If any of the photos are good enough I'll stick 'em in here .

I'm still playing around with mine trying to figure out how to do things etc, so any advice would be muchly appreciated

I had a play with my Sigma 50-500mm today. I still think its very soft.

Not much room for improvement really - great shot.

If you really had to split hairs, you might argue that the flash has fired a bit strongly and the colour balance is a bit cool. You could either slow-synch the flash to let in a little more ambient light to warm things up, or just adjust the colour balance in PP.

Of course, to eliminate shadows you'd need an external flash gun and bounced flash, which would also help light the scene more naturally, but for the equipment you're using you've done great.

Stunning pic Kushti, you're giving me inspiration for my highlands trip in June. Edinburgh - Arbroath - Inverness - Fort William. If you can suggest any sights I'll do my best to get to them

edit: shame about the lens flare, although I bet that's hard to avoid up there.

Few more from the workshop I ran the other day. Here's the landscape part again:

hoping to get some fire poi shots myself over the next couple of weeks - flaming juggling as well with luck

Nice, if you weren't so far up north, I'd try and attend one of those!

Flashes too powerful so aperture needed to be quite small. Was shooting the front flash on a small cable, so couldn't move it any further away - triggers on their way though

Out yesterday. Tried to do a minimum of changes to the final pic. Looking down on Glenridding in the late afternoon.

Stunning - I hate you.

(I often take pictures of places like that, rush home with them to show the wife and they look bilge and nothing at all like scene my eye saw.)
