I wanted to share this photo but couldn't decide where was appropriate, so I thought I might as well put it here and get some feedback. Be as harsh or as kind as you like. Thanks

I've heard about focus stacking but have never looked into how you go about it, ie. what software you may need etc. My question is can the following two images be photo stacked. They were taken handheld and rushed as a neighbour was approaching so I knew I'd have to stop and say hello, hence...

I found a badger set last week. After two unsuccessful trips out with the D3200 and not a single photo taken, I decided to take my new camera out for its first proper outing. I now knew where the badgers came out and set up, with my wife by my side, in a good position with a clear view and a...

After what seems like an age my D7100 has arrived! Now if the battery would just hurry up and charge so I can take some pictures! Very very excited to explore what this camera can do! My only complaint so far, having not used the camera, is with the delivery service. I ordered from HDEW...

Hi Folks, Thinking of downloading this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OE2aJp0MQGw Has anyone here got any experience of using PhotoDirector software? And if so how does it compare to Adobe Lightroom in terms of features and usability? I have a limited version PhotoDirector3 which came...

I'm going on holiday in September and want to have the best gear I can to maximise my chances of taking great photos. I know this is more down to me than the equipment but camera or lenses (+filters) can't hurt. At a push I have around £500-£550 to spend. The options I'm considering are as...

I'm looking into buying a d7100 body at some point this year, so naturally I'm looking at the best deals out there, because why pay more, right? There seems to be a fair few companies selling the D7100 body new, for less than I could get a used one for on sites like MPBphotographic. They also...

Macro isn't my top priority and so if I'm going to do it it's going to be on a budget (for now). I've recently been playing about with a cheap set of borrowed extension tubes (no electronic connections) and its given me the urge to get into it a little more. My aim is to keep within a budget of...

Just come across this deal on Ebay and I'm getting one of those too good to be true feelings. Nikon D7100 Digital SLR Camera Body +3 Year UK Warranty *IN UK* | eBay It says it is in the UK so no import fees etc. and they're offering a 3 warranty. I'm guessing its a grey import so wouldn't get...

Hi All, So I'm looking to get a monopod but don't really know where to start. I currently own a very cheap tripod, which is fine as I use it very little anyway. A monopod on the other hand I foresee using quite a lot and I want to buy one that will last me many years to come. Wildlife...

So my wife and I like to go foraging in the woods and fields from time to time, in search of some tasty wild food for the table. This weekend she came back from walking the dog saying she's found some funky yellow bracket fungi. I thought it might have been chicken of the woods so we went out...

Highly unlikely I'll manage a daily upload but hopefully this thread will push me to take more photos and learn in the process. It'll also be nice to keep my pictures mostly in one place and hopefully be able to see an improvement in quality as time goes by. I'll start by uploading some of my...

So I wasn't able to get the shot I wanted for last weeks weekly challenge, as rain drove me back to my car before I could get up to the main Rothley Castle ruins. I managed to head back up there today and get a few shots. The lighting was a bit boring but I'm reasonably happy with some of the...

Hi folks, Having had a brief search for information on various "Super zoom" lenses, I've noticed that there are plenty of conversations about individual lenses here and there but I've not come across much comparison between them. So I'm starting this thread to try to draw all your collective...

Hi all, Just a quick question. When you put a 1:1 macro lens on a crop sensor body, do you maintain the 1:1 ratio or does it end up being "more than macro" due to the x1.5 crop factor?

I took a few photos of yesterday of this cat that's always wandering into my garden and giving me the evil eye. Then I came on Nikonnites and saw Marcel's shot in the monthly photo assignment thread of a very similar looking cat. For some reason that made me want to post them here. As I'm still...

Hi All, I'm looking at buying a camera bag, similar in style to a lowepro AW 55 (http://www.amazon.co.uk/Case-Logic-Compact-protection-Hammock/dp/B001TZUS98/ref=pd_cp_ph_0) but it doesn't come with an in built rain cover which is a bit of a draw back. I'd have thought it would be easy to come...

Hi folks, Having just taken up photography as a hobby in the past few weeks, I've spent a lot of time talking to my wife about it and she's shown real interest in it too. Ideally she could use my D3200 to learn with and she probably will but if I'm being honest when she's using it, I get...

I went for a walk this evening with my wife and decided to take a few woodland portraits. These are my first attempts and I did my best to do my model justice. Any constructive criticism is welcomed!

As a beginner on a budget I've been shopping around for lenses that won't break the bank. Amazon UK seem to have a lot of Nikon lenses at very very good prices, but it seems from some of the buyers feedback that they are grey imports from china with no European warranty. I believe Nikon may...
