Hi all, my 5yr old daughter is currently doing a swimming course, throughout the course parents are "banned" so the kids are not distracted, however on the last day it is possible to go and watch. It is inside in a warm and very humid swimming hall and im a little nervous about taking the D7000...

As some of you may know I have been waiting impatiently for my converted D70 to arrive. It finally arrived yesterday and today I managed to get out and try it out. I know it is not the best time of the year with the sun not being so strong and not much foliage on the trees, however I was really...

Hi all Coming from olympus i only have about 6 months experience with nikon, so not long enough to get a feel for their firmware update tendencies. I have a d7000 and see the last update was april 2013. Do you think we can expect another update soon (if at all)? If yes what changes do you think...

Picked up an old D70 following the demise of my D80 and am wondering about the cards. The D70 uses CF cards, but will it take CF 1, 2 or both? The reason im asking is that I would like to buy an adapter so that I can use normal SD cards, and the CF2 to SD adapter is half the price of the CF 1 to...

Off to the weird and wonderful.................today I sent my D80 off to irrecams.de to be converted to 700nm infrared. Am really excited about exploring this abstract world, would be great if a forum section could be opened dedicated to infrared photography!

Hi all, after lots of debating and trials I ordered the tamron 90mm vc macro lens which arrived yesterday. Compared with the sigma 105 OS I tried the lens is lighter, quieter, and makes all in all a very good first impression. The only concern I have is concerning the exposure. I feel that the...

If the title does not say it all, then the picture will. This shot was taken with my new 85mm 1.8D which arrived today. Absolutely stunning lens. Could also have got the AFS, but I like the solid feel to the AFD lens. The sky was so clear and blue today, why is the sky so blown out on this...

Anyone using this lens? Looking for a budget entrance to macro with a lens which could eventually double as a good portrait lens. Thanks

Can someone please give me some tips on photographing children on the swing. I have been walking at the lake with the kids lately and there are a couple of swinging possibilities, however I would say that 90% of the photos are so blurred they are for the garbage, 8% are solala, only 2% good...

Am using Linux Mint 15 and have UFRAW as the post processing software. Usually I shoot JPEG, but today thought I would give RAW a try. I have successfully converted a raw file to JPG, but the image is curved on the sides (see attached). Anyone any ideas, or maybe can even suggest some...

Hi all, so after I got my new lens (for which I paid 20 euro) cleaned up I finally managed to get out to the lake and take some test shots this morning. I am extremely surprised by the quality of the results! As a general walk-about lens this is a perfect focal range for me. The lens even...

So, it seems my D80 was not so much of a bargain after all! I purchased it used a few weeks ago in mint condition and only 9000 shutter Releases from a respectable guy hier in Austria. As it is winter here the light conditions have been relatively low, but now I am in Abu Dhabi on a Business...

Hi, i picked up a very cheap nikon 28-80mm which seems to have some dirt inside which is appearing on the pictures. Anyone know of any disassembly instructions for cleaning such a lens? Thanks in advance

Hi all, i know there is enough info on the web about the backfocus issues some experience with the D7000, however I would be interested to know at what point should I be sending the unit back to NIKON? My D7000 is still under guarantee, and when I received the camera at the end of August I...

Hi all, I have recently been looking for some relief for my D7000 workhorse in the form of a 2nd cheap and cheerful body. As of today I am the happy owner of a mint condition D80 with only 9300 shutter releases which I picked up for a little over 100 euro. The idea was to have a 2nd light body...

Hello, just got my first external flashgun today, a yongnuo yn-468ii. I have looked extensively on the web and here in the forum but cant seem to find what I need. I am a little confused as to the difference of the s1 and s2 flash modes, and how I should go about setting up my d7000. When to...

Hi All, am slowly deciphering all the bells and whistles on my lovely new D7000, and have come up against what I can only describe as being a bug in either Nikon's train of thought or my own! The rear wheel used to adjust the exposure compensation in my opinion is reversed, turning the wheel to...

Hello, as mentioned in my introduction, I have upgraded to a D7000 and have a couple of general questions about autofocus selection: - when to use AF- A S and C? - when to use single point, 9 or 39 point autofocus? The manual is great in that it tells me HOW to select the different options...

Hi all, having upgraded from Oly to Nikon, I have still got an old OM 50 1.8 lens which is a beautiful manual walk-around and portrait lens. The problem with fitting these onto a D body is the focusing to infinity, however on ebay there now seems to be adapters WITHOUT an additional lens for...

Hi Nikonites! I have just sold my E-510 Olympus and I have upgraded to a D7000 with 18-105 with the additional purchase of the Nikon 35mm 1.8. I think this combination should keep me busy for a while. ;) I live in the west of Austria near the lake of Constance which gives me many opportunites...
