My other half is great when it comes to camera stuff. Usually! She has let me invest in everything in my signature without question so far. However, I dropped into conversation that I might like to get a flash soon (I've been eyeing up the SB-700). Her response this time was "How much?"...

Me and the future Mrs are off to Turkey later in the year for 11 days. When we went to Fuerteventura last year - we took the P&S as I didn't want to risk taking the 5100. However, I regret that decision!! I really want to take the 5100 with me to Turkey, but would definitely only take it...

When I was first contemplating a dSLR purchase, my researched suggested the D5100 was the best I could get for the budget I had by quite some way compared to Canon, and I think Nikon just look better and feel better quality than the equivalent Canon models. Also the increased compatibility of...

Hi All, I notice a lot of you on here have websites. I have been building my own since my subscription to Photoshop comes with one. I'd be interested in getting some feedback since clearly I am biased :rolleyes: If possible, a score out of 10 for the following would be great!: Overall...

So recently I've started playing around with LR5 which I got with the photographer bundle on Adobe (still the same offer available that was supposedly expiring beginning of December and then again December 31st!) and one thing I have noticed is that when I'm zooming in to 100% - I can see noise...

I'm considering an SB-700 for my next purchase to go with my D5100 and increase the versatility of my 18-55mm. the reason being, a decent f/2.8 lens with a wide to mid tele range is about 4x more than the flash! my only concern is that I don't know much about flash and reading about it seems...

Just thinking today about whether it would be possible to (or whether anyone has ever) gone "pro" on the cheap. By pro, I mean earning enough (and making enough profit) to make a living. Have you? or do you know anyone that has? Then it got me thinking of a challenge - you want to start a...

I recently posted about my newly aquired Alta Pro 263AT/GH-100 Head puchase and there were a couple of people looking for feedback on the head so, as promised... I will update this as I go but to get started: The head is pretty weighty when you take it out the box - suprisingly so for me, but...

Just done a 3.5 hour drive from Birmingham to Plymouth which gave me an interesting idea for a new project when my tripod arrives. ill update you all with photos when I get it underway - I want to see how well it works first! anyone else about to embark on a new project/theme?

We have loads of cafés and independent restaurants near where we live and I was thinking of canvassing them for some free display space. im looking for advice re framing/presentation of my work. What services do you find are best? Do you frame yourself and if so how? Also would be great to...

I am having trouble making posts - I can write them fine but the site seems to freeze when posting. EDIT: It seems to have worked this time!! Typical, maybe it was posting images?

I am currently running PS CS2 on my computer (no lightroom). Having been made aware of the current offer from Adobe re: PS/LR for less than a tenner a month, I am very tempted. However, being a relatively inexperienced photo editer, I am not sure whether It's the thing to go for. I have the...

So the fiancée and I went to the beach the other day scouring potential wedding locations and I thought it was a good excuse to take some snaps with my favourite toy! Be interested to get your thoughts. Don't hold back I need more ammunition for £££ to spend :P

Just ordered myself the 50mm 1.8G prime after much reading of forums/reviews. Really looking forward to taking some snaps with it. Would be good to see some of your pics taken with it too and any tips on techniques to use with it/best situations to use it in!

I'm looking to buy a tripod, having had my 5100 for about 9 months and wanting to play around with long exposures etc. I am looking at buying this one by Benro following a test section in NPhoto magazine which scored it very well for quality/features and it's within my budget - or the amount...

The missus and I are off to the MotoGP at the end of the month at Silverstone. I just wondered if anyone had shot bikes there before, and if so whether you had any particular insights as to the best places to be or the best times to get decent shots? We have roving grandstand tickets for Fri &...

When reading from a memory card I can select say img14-img76 out of 200 images, click convert (or whatever the button is called) and save those selected images on the computer in a different file format (e.g. Jpeg). My question is, how do I transfer just the RAW (.NEF) files in the same way...

Hi All, Just thought I'd give you all a wave from here in sunny Devon (UK)! New to Nikonites and fairly new to DSLR's although have been interested in photography for a little while but only making the most of my Point & Shoot which has now found itself a nice comfy spot to collect dust in the...
