    New photo section?

    I'm sure that many forum members don't have the available time to run a 365 thread, or perhaps they don't want to feel that they *have* to post something - even if it's not particularly special. I'd like to post in a 365 type thread where I can gauge my shots & get some feedback, but I'd only...

    Blackrapid wrist strap - short review

    I've used the wrist strap each time I've been out with my camera. The strap does give a lot of confidence that the camera isn't going to slip from my grasp & it is completely out of the way from the camera controls & operation. Attaching is quick & easy, although the rubber washer makes me feel...

    Moving files between storage cards

    My laptop has an SD card reader, but not a CF reader. With space & weight restrictions for travelling, I'd like to avoid taking my bulky CF reader on vacation. Is there a way to transfer files from the camera CF card to the SD card?

    Viewing .NEF files

    I have a Windows 7 laptop which I am taking on holiday/vacation. The laptop is quite old so does not have a great spec (in 2014 terms). I want the option to upload RAW files to the laptop for easier viewing (than the camera LCD screen). I have available Photoshop Elements (v10) or ViewNX2 which...

    Storage space

    After owning my camera for a week, I'm going to take the plunge into RAW. Also I'm off on holiday/vacation for 11 days at the end of this week. I have 32gb CF, 32gb SD & 16gb SD cards. I am taking my laptop which only has about 16gb of storage available. Cloud storage is not viable as I will be...

    Picture control

    Does Picture control on the D810 affect only JPG or RAW as well? The manual doesn't seem to cover it fully.

    D810 product listing

    I have created a product listing for the D810 now that the system is working again. For the details, I copy & pasted from the Nikon UK website. I copied the image from Nikon USA, although I have had some issues uploading the image. Please feel free to update/correct anything I have put...

    Cleaning lenses advice please

    I have a couple of lenses coming which will be protected by Hoya HD filters. I also have a rocket blower on order. I used to also use some cleaner fluid & lens tissue. I'm thinking that I need some sort of wet cleaner, for instance if I get rain spots on the filter glass. Assuming that a wet...

    Nikon D810 Experience - The Still Photography Guide to Operation and Image Creation

    I'd like to get a book explaining the D810. There's only one in the Kindle store, what is the general opinion of this writer? Doug Klostermann seems to have books on just about every camera. Nikon D810 Experience - The Still Photography Guide to Operation and Image Creation with the Nikon D810...

    Which D810 accessories will I need?

    The last SLR camera I had was a Canon A1 about 25 years ago when I did semi-pro portrait work. This time around it with a DSLR will be mainly landscapes, character portraits & close-up/macro. I'm aiming to be ordering a D810 next week, along with a 24-120mm f4 & 105mm f2.8 macro. I'll then have...

    Need a small bag

    I'm shortly to be getting a D810 with 24-120mm f4 lens & will be taking it on holiday (vacation). I will only take the single walkabout lens & need something suitable to carry it. Can anyone suggest a small bag that would carry just the body with lens attached? It would need to be water-proof...

    Which ND filter?

    Living on an Island taking landscapes, a lot of these will include the sea. On occasion, I would like to slow the shutter right down to get some nice water images. If I could buy a single (Hoya) ND filter for my projected landscape outfit of D610 + Nikkor 16-35mm f4, which strength should I get?

    Lowepro backpacks

    Does anyone have any of the Lowepro backback range? I have some questions about how lenses fit depth-wise. Lowe pro give internal dimensions of their backpacks, but I don't know if the depth dimension includes things like the front pockets. So if the listed internal depth of a backpack is 6.5"...
