    Post your Birds in Flight

    I've been wanting to get a reasonable photo to post in this thread since I first joined the forum. Today I finally managed to get one. A small group of Greylag Geese. Unfortunately it's been a fairly dull day so I had to bump the ISO more than I'd have liked...

    Abandoned

    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...

    Help with lens please

    If like me you have the old non VR 18-55 then I'd look at upgrading to the latest VRII version as it seems pretty highly rated. I'm happy enough with my older 18-55 and really like the close focusing it offers. I've just picked a 35mm 1.8G lens as I wanted a sharp, fast prime that doesn't break...

    Front door views

    I'm pretty lucky with the view I've got now, my last house overlooked an ASDA car park! These are both views from the front of my house.

    Weekly challenge Aug 6 through 12. Abandoned

    So here's my first entry in any type of photo challenge. It part of a Castle ruins near Rothley, Northumberland, UK. I'd have liked to have got some more shots from more angles but I had to "abandon" shooting as there was a massive rain cloud headed my way, don't be fooled by the blue sky in the...

    Nikon 70-300 vr vs Tamron 70-300 vc

    I would imagine you probably can't go wrong with either, but I believe the Tamron offers better value for money. There were a couple of kittens in my garden this morning, presumably feral. Here is one picture I took of them, with a tight crop of the same image below. JPEG straight out of the...

    Nikon 70-300 vr vs Tamron 70-300 vc

    I can't be of any help regarding a direct comparison but I have the Tamron and would recommend it to anyone. All my research suggested they were fairly equal, some saying the Tamron was sharper, others the Nikon. The VC on the Tamron is excellent, in a youtube video I watched recently, Matt...

    Post your Photographing the photographer.

    My wife on pretty much her first outing with her first SLR, a Nikon F80. She was trying to figure out what settings she needed to shoot a picture of me. Still waiting to see how her photo turns out.

    Best "Super zoom" on the market?

    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...

    Macro lenses on DX bodies?

    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?
