QUESTIONS

1. Hi Guys, Not a technical question but what is the best thing you’ve have ever had the opportunity of shooting or what are your favorite things to shoot? As an amature I get a bit jealous when I see all the Pro’s at the front of the gig or match. Is it as good as it looks? James, Watford.

2. Hello Ewen, Alex, Chris & Kevin Love the show. Thanks. I have a question about shooting in cities at night. I was out in Newcastle and shooting some of the city lights etc and noticed that for no apparent reason, some of the shots were wildly under-exposed. I was shooting in Aperture Priority and the underexposed image appeared to come completely at random. I thought at first that I might be on evaluative metering and not spot metering but after checking it wasn't. In the end I decided to follow Ewen's advice of last week and shoot in manual and it worked! Is there something obvious I'm missing here or do you think I have a fault with my camera perhaps. (Its a Nikon D5100) Thanks Mark Bannister - Newcastle

3. Hi Fellas I own a Canon 450D and have about £150 to spend on a Christmas present.
Suggestions Please Thanks Tony G - Cornwall
