    Fairground reflections

    Something a a little different and cropped from the original, fairground ride reflected in a puddle after a heavy downpour. Shot with Nikon D600 and 24-85mm lens at f5.6, 1/80th if I remember correctly. What do do you think of the composition and colours? I’m really pleased with the end result...

    Live music events?

    Hey, no specific area for live music events but I figure it’s probably similar to sports in a sort of way. I’d love to give live music photography a try but don’t know how to go about that. I’ve got D600 with 24-85mm 3.5-4.5, 50mm f1.8 and 105mm f2.8 manual focus super Takumar. Has anyone...

    Upgrade from D5100?

    Hi all, I've been shooting with a D5100 for a couple of years now and very pleased with it. Ive taken some great shots however having recently had a play with a d3300 I was amazed by the high iso performance and lack of noise on longer exposures even with NR disabled. I do a lot of low light...

    JANUARY Monthly Assignment -- Low Light/Nighttime

    Entry #2 Souter Lighthouse, South Shields, Northeast england. Took my cousin out to show her how to use shutter priority on her new D3300 and got this pleasing one of the clear skies above the lighthouse with trusted D5100. Only editing is straightening in lightroom and export as jpeg.

    Diopter adjustment lens?

    Hi all, I've got a slight problem. My d3100 viewfinder focus dial can adjust to give perfect focus for my vision but needs to be fully rotated anti clockwise to achieve this. My d5100 however at the same extreme is not quite in focus. I know you can get diopter lenses for the viewfinder but from...

    Just bought a d5100

    Hi from the d3100 lounge... Just bought a used d5100 body for a cracking price as I was hitting a few limitations with the d3100. First impressions are very favourable, many more custom settings, faster, better LCD and seems so much sharper with the 35mm prime :) Anyhow, just wanted to say hi...
