<p>Hi anybody having trouble sending photos via Outlook.com in Lightroom? I've just set up to send via Google which works perfect but using outlook.com does not work and the validation fails??</p>

Do new uploaded photos not go into a general gallery.? I understand that clicking a name will take you to the persons photos etc . but is that the only way people can see and comment your photos? I'm used to ephotozine.com when you upload a photo it is instantly available in a gallery which is constantly being updated with the option for everyone everyone to browse images and leave comments tag as favourite if they want. Otherwise who would click or even find my profile? as no one knows me. Hope this makes sense.

<p>Hi I've just uploaded my first photo to my portfolio. how do i find/show it in the gallery for all to see? is it automatically put in there or is there a delay? i clicked "browse Gallery" and "photo main gallery" and was expecting my photo to be on the first page?? also when i uploaded it i did not see a category option?</p>

<p>I have only just joined Photo net and its good to hear so many saying that using a DX camera for weddings is not a bad thing. I'm so used to seeing topics on the net saying that its almost essential that a full frame is used. Ill probably upgrade in the future to a D610 partly due to the fact its virtually the same sensible size of my D7000. So for now I''ll save for a Sigma 70-200mm HSM OS to upgrade my Tokina This way it can be used on a full frame when I eventually upgrade.</p>

<p>Great thanks for the advice, having a smaller f stop makes perfect sense in helping any minor focusing issues, can't believe I never thought of that. My first thought was to open wide as possible. I'v also just bought a large rogue flash bender, and have a feeling this will be my new favourite accessory, along with my new Godox Flash power pack.</p>

Hi I have been asked to photographer the first dance and disco. My last experience at doing this was a nightmare with focusing and grain issues. Anybody got some good advice for focusing settings and whether I should use off camera flash with a diffuser? So I can to do a better job this time round. I will have a Nissin DI866 and fast lenses on my D7000 no extra lighting.

Im currently doing the weddings with my daughter who also has a D7000. I'm considering upgrading as one reason I feel a bit amateur by having a crop sensor as chances are someone at the wedding has the same camera and I need to have something more professional?? Though I did bin the kit lenses. Also the shallow depth of field should help and extra dynamic range and the bigger sensor should be more forgiving in low low light situations I assume? This is just a part time job but I still want to turn up with pro like equipment, which can produce higher quality images than a crop sensor.

<p>I have just started out photographing weddings and currently use a D7000 , Tokina 55-135 2.8, Sigma 17-55mm 2.8 and a Nikon 50mm 1.4 They are all amazing fast sharp lenses but my aim is to to move to full frame but money is very tight so I'm wondering will my Tokina and Sigma work on a D610 body? as a temporary measure. I know my Nikon 50mm will work ok so ill be keeping it. Am I correct that I just flick a switch to change the camera to DX mode?? will the images still look ok ie no dark corners etc. if So Ill later replace these when money available. As long as the images look as good as my D7000 Ill be happy.</p>

<p>Thanks for the replies I'v found a velcro strap from my flash diffuser That should do the trick using the clip on the back of the device.<br> I got the idea from a youtube video showing a flash mounted on a compact monopod with a Rouge Flash bender. It looked like a good idea as it can be closed down small to hold in one hand or extended, which my assistant can hold when taking couple portraits at weddings etc. I did think about a mini handle to mount the flash on but as I wanted to purchase a monopod anyway and less to carry about.</p>

<p>Hi I did my first 4 paid weddings last year at a very reduced cost to build up my portfolio. This year I want to start charging £500 per wedding for 7 hours coverage. I'm now thinking of offering an album option on top, just one choice for now for ease. Can anyone recommend an album/supplier (in UK) suitable for a client at this price bracket. i.e. no point me trying to sell them a £1000 album at this stage. Also how much it costs you and how much do you charge the client? So basically I need something affordable and sells well to give me a bit more income.<br> Many Thanks</p>

<p>Hi I have just bought a PB820 Propac flash power pack and want to attach it quickly and easily to a mono pod and put a flash on top with a modifier. Any top tips as to what is the best quick secure fix is for this?</p>
