Hahnel HRC 280 : Testing Out A Remote Trigger Switch

April 25, 2024

Having purchased a Hahnel HRC 280 Remote Shutter Release after losing my previous one, a Canon Remote Switch 80N3 so was unable to shoot long exposure pictures at night. Costing just less then £20 the Hahnel HRC 280 Remote Shutter Release is a fraction of the Canon’s own version and does exactly the same job. I really enjoy taking long exposure photos and like to experiment with turning night into day. I prefer to shoot…

April 12, 2024

0 comment

Sports Photography is something I do a lot of and one of the problems I found was trying to get a telephoto lens with a enough reach without needing to re-mortgaging my house. The system I use is Canon and in my time I have used the Canon EOS 40D, Canon EOS 7D, Canon EOS 5D Mark II, Canon EOS 1D Mark II and the Canon EOS 1D Mark III. In…

If there is one lens any one with Canon EOS camera should buy it is a one of their 50mm prime lens and the one I use is the Canon EF 50mm f1.4 USM Lens. Very small and lightweight the Canon EF 50mm f1.4 USM Lens offers great versatility and is something I tend to use when just going for a walk. As with all prime lenses the Canon EF…

Prime Lens : Fast Prime Lens On A Budget

March 12, 2024

As a keen fan of using a prime lens over a telephoto / zoom lens I made a purchase on eBay this week picking up a manual lens for less than £20. What I bought was a 135mm F3.5 Tele Prime Lens that has been converted to fit a Canon DSLR. This is the cheapest lens I have ever bought or own so was not expecting much from it. First…

March 5, 2024

Getting out and doing a spot of night photography can often be very rewarding and is something I do enjoy given half the chance to do it. This collection of photos were taken in Beverley in Hengate Gardens. There was a lot of ambient light about, a lamppost and the flood lights on the monument were quite useful. For this night photography project I used a Hahnel HRC 280 Remote…

Taking Winter Morning Pictures With A Canon EF24-105mm f4L IS USM

Canon EF24-105mm f4L : A few winter morning pictures taken using a Canon EF24-105mm f4L IS USM. The lens was mounted to a Canon EOS 1D Mark III with the pictures being taken in Beverley and Hull. It was bitterly cold this morning with plenty of frost everywhere. When I woke up I found my car totally covered in ice so took a few pictures to share on Beverley Photographer. My camera was already set up with a Canon EF24-105mm f4L IS USM so I used that and took a few pictures of my car first of all, then some in Hull and a couple on the Beverley Westwood. I was quite... more»

Yongnuo YN 622C E-TTL Wireless Flash Trigger Review

Yongnuo YN 622C is one of the newest products from Yongnuo that allows you to take your Speedlite off the camera while giving the photographer plenty of control through the camera’s menu. Having looked into various systems for off camera flash I settled with the Yongnuo YN 622C as it seemed to offer everything I wanted at a very reasonable price. Out of the box, I hooked up the Yongnuo YN 622C system to a Canon 430 EX II Speedlite and a Canon EOS 1D Mark IV and fired off a few shots and everything worked out just fine. The Yongnuo YN 622C worked seamlessly with the Canon menu... more»

Canon EF400mm F2.8L USM: Shooting Power Boat Racing

This was the first time I shot power boat racing and really got to use a Canon EF400mm F2.8L USM as with all news things, there were a few issues to iron out. The event was a P1 Power Boat race and with it being on water, the extra light being reflected caused a few issues with setting the exposure on the camera to begin with but after watching was happening and taking a few test shots, I figured out what I needed to do to get the desired images. With regard to the set up I used to photograph this event I had a Canon EOS 1D Mark IV with a Canon EF400mm F2.8L USM lens and from time to time I... more»

LENSBABY : Creative Shooting With The Lensbaby 2

Creative photography is certainly a lot easier with a Lensbaby attached to the camera as I found out after taking delivery of a Lensbaby 2. Although it is a lens, I think the Lensbaby is more of an accessories, something that is small and easy to carry around that will give any photographer a different type of shot. I purchased my Lensbaby 2 from MPB Photographic this week. I have already discussed the benefits of buying used gear in the article Used Canon Equipment: Buying Used Over New so when this showed up I just had to have it. I plan to use the Lensbabay 2 to create images in camera... more»

Canon EOS 5D Mark II Long Exposure Pictures By The River Hull

This shot was taken on the River Hull on a chilly evening, again with no tripod so the camera, a Canon EOS 5D Mark II was placed against something steady. The idea of taking pictures of moving water is quite an appealing one to me but I do not often get the time, or I should say make the time to go out and just do it. Earlier in the day I have gone the same location and take some pictures while the tide was out, you can see them here; the pictures on this page, (Canon EOS 5D Mark II Long Exposure Pictures By The River Hull),were taken on the same day but much later in the afternoon when the... more»

Peli Case 1510 : Worth Every Penny And Some

A Peli Case 1510 proved to be the perfect answer to the problem I have been facing of carting my kit around between jobs. After a little bit of research and some help from a fellow photographer I settled on a Peli Case 1510 to use as my main bag for my big lens and a couple of bodies. This solid case complete with wheels and strong handles has made my life so much easier. I have to say I was very surprised just how much gear I go into a case of this size.

Flash Photography : Shooting A Music Night With Off Camera Flash

Flash off the camera, finally I took my flash off, I have owned the Speedliter’s Handbook by Syl Arena for a while but I finally put some of his ideas into practice. I was shooting a music night one of the local pubs in Beverley. The room was quite light but where the performers were was not so bright at all. Normally I would place my speedlite on the top of the camera and just swivel the head about and bounce the light off something but I wanted to try something different. For this event I was shooting with a Canon EOS 1D Mark IV, Canon EF 85mm f1.8 USM prime lens, a Canon 430 EX II... more»
