    Selling through Smugmug

    Does anyone here sell images via Smugmug? If so how do you find it? My collection of shots I'm happy with is building and I'm wondering if it would be worth popping some up for sale. Do you get decent traffic and sales with their SEO service? Also, is it possible to only sell prints rather...

    No idea how good this camera is as I don't have one... but for £34.99 how bad can it be if you are by the pool on holiday??? https://www.aldi.co.uk/en/specialbuys/thursday-15th-may/product-detail/ps/p/waterproof-digital-camera/ Apparently, its good for fresh & sea water down to 10 ft.

    Selling D3200 but not sure what price to sell for.

    I second @sonicbuffalo Before throwing in the towel, get your hands on a 35mm or 50mm prime - Even take your camera to a shop to test out a lens. Take a few shots at F4 - F8 and then go home and pixel peep.... It's all in the glass, and more megapixels means more demand for good glass.

    Potential Opportunity

    Hi All, I have been thinking of ways of improving my skills and pushing myself outside of my usual comfort zone. Well I have just seen an ad from a local photographer who is basically looking for one or more enthusiasts who want to progress. What she is basically wanting to do, is to get the...

    Fountains Abbey

    Hi All, I visited Fountains Abbey at the weekend, a 12th century abbey and mill in Northern England. It was the perfect chance to test my new Sigma 8-16mm wide lens... Until the rain started cutting the visit short! Still, I live near by so can visit again soon. I love how...

    Advice needed - Sigma 8-16mm F4.5-5.6 DC HSM

    Hi All, Does anyone have any experience of this lens? I'm tempted by this or the Nikkor 10-24mm to go on my D7100. I'm put off the Nikkor as it won't go FX when I eventually upgrade, but with the price of this Sigma, that's not such a problem. Has anyone used or own one? How did you find it?

    Distant Deer

    I saw these deer enjoying a bit of early spring sunshine last week... Unfortunately they were that far away they just out of reach using my 55-300mm... Does this mean I need to buy the Sigma 150-500mm?? :-) At 300mm... And a heavy crop.....

    I have only gone and done it!!

    Well, after much thought and persuading of the wife, I have just gone and ordered my D7100 body online..... It will be a jump from my D3100 and I can't wait! The D3100 has been a great camera to learn with over the past 3 years, but the extra features of the D7100 were too much to resist...

    Sigma 18mm F3.5

    Hi All, Here is a quick pic I took with the Sigma 18mm F3.5..... There's just one thing that confuses me... Given that the Sigma is a wide angle lens (As I understand it), I can't see any real difference in the field of view between it, and my 18-55mm Nikkor.... It does easily suffer from...

    Raw on Android

    Hi all, I've recently bought a D3100, and I was trying to find a basic raw file editor which is available on Android? I have some demos, but they just sync the files from the camera - I just want to be able to change the levels etc, on my Xoom tablet when I'm away from home etc. Thanks! Steve
