Catching up with Jared over in America and discussing the projections for photography over the next year, the royal family, jewish holidays, tax, christmas pressents, and a load of other crap,
tell me what you think of the video and if you want more.

I loved this video, I been watching and learning between both of you. It's nice that you guys collaborate between each other. Can't wait for the books, I also gonna buy that sweat shirt and shirt!!
ReplyDeleteYeah I loved this video I watched it over on Jared's site yesterday and look forward to more like this. I follow you both on your respected sites amd thank you both for all the information you pass on. By the way Dom, photography gear in America tends to work out what it would cost here minus the VAT. Example the Nijon 70-200mm @ B&H is $2,159 which equates to about £1,359 and if you stick 20% on that then you get £1,630 which is closer to the average UK price for that lens so it is the VAT that is the killer here. Unfortunately it's about the same price around Europe as here so its no cheaper buying it from France for example where you don't need to pay import tax. Bummer!!
ReplyDeleteThat would be because VAT is imposed by the EU, with a minimum rate of 15% and a maximum rate of 25% on most goods. Most are around the 20% mark (France is 19.6%). Just hope for a favourable exchange rate!
ReplyDeleteExacly that is why Mr Brown & Mr Darling were not allowed to lower the VAT lower then 15% when they lowered it temporarily and it is one of the things that pees my off about being in the EU. When I compared the price of the 70-200mm F2.8 from France once I converted the price from Euros to Pounds it was basically the same price as buying it in the UK, which is why I said bummer lol.
ReplyDeletesorry but I hated that Rankin programme...I mean 're-creating' photos isn't very creative. With all of our modern gadgetry it should have been relatively straight forward, I doubt they had tethered shooting in the 1920's! Although it's one of the few programmes on TV which gave you access to that kind of high-end photography.
