Looking for a bit of advice please. I need a new carry around bag for my new camera (D800) and the 28-300 nikon zoom. That in itself is probably relatively easy, however, I dont want the bag to be too big, nor do I want it to scream out "expensive camera inside"... I would prefer it to look...

Today I become the proud owner of a nice shiney new D800 and 28-300 zoom... OK I had to hit 50 to get it, but there are some upsides to having a "big" birthday. Looking for hints tips tricks settings that you owners found useful to know, or learned the hard way :) This is a huge upgrade from...

Hubby and I were discussing a road trip "vacation" for our 30th wedding anniversary in 18 months time. He wants to do coast to coast and I'm happy to do that as long as we get to see some great sights (I just hope he doesnt want to do it on a motorbike!). He's talking about a 3 week trip to...

My daughter has just had her exam results for subjects she sat in June this year. She is hoping to go to college and then University to study photography to degree level. The little beauty got more than enough grades to get into her chosen college, but is especially pleased with her A and A+...

Hi everyone. I am about to start to organise/ reorganise all my photos. I currently store them on my hard drive until the year end and then move them to an external hard drive, but I have noticed that this seems to cause an issue with the catalog system. My external drive is getting old, and I...

Apologies if this has been asked/answered recently, but I couldnt find anything obvious on my searches. I am soon to be the owner of a nice shiney new full frame camera, and my hubby is concerned about the cost of replacing it due to accidental damage or theft. Some members here have got...

but not the photographic type :)

Once again I come here picking everyones brains. I am about to get a D800 (I hope) but I want a comfortable strap to carry this camera with the 28-300 lens. In recent months I have got used to winding my neck strap around my wrist a few times with my D5100 when we are out on long walks for a...

In preparation for my new camera, I have decided to try to tidy up my photo storage... currently its spread over 3 external drives and my computer hard drive... there has to be a better way than this. Taking a quick peek in some of the folders, I dont think I have deleted ANY files (including...

Just wanted to pick everyones brains about monopods. I am just about to get a full frame camera (I'm hoping the "birthday" brings a D800) Hubby and I do a lot of walking, and I have seen many threads over the internet that mention that the D800 works best with a tripod... I dont really want...

I have a few of these programs that I use alongside my Elements software, and I really like what they can do. The other day I received notification of a 50% off deal they are doing for their masking software, so I thought I would share. Topaz ReMask: As Easy As Digital Scissors (I hope its...

My daughter is starting her photography course in September. For the first semester they are using film cameras to "slow the students down" and make them think about what they are trying to achieve with their cameras. Then they can opt to stay on film or use a mixture of film/digital or go fully...

As I have mentioned on my introduction post, I have the opportunity of going full-frame. I had been going backwards and forwards between the 610 and 800... to me the lack of AF points over the whole area on the 610 was a major drawback, and the file size of an 800 raw file was my main concern...

Hi everyone. I am Tracey from the east midlands in the UK. I've been shooting Nikon for just over 2 years (sold all my Oly gear when they stopped making SLRs for the rest of us) Bought myself a D5100 and a "family" D3100 so they wouldnt borrow mine :D. I have a "big" birthday coming up this...
