    Adobe Creative Cloud

    I have recently bought the Adobe PS & LR Creative cloud software. I keep my Intel i7 Windows 7 pc running very lean & notice anything unusual. The Creative Cloud application runs in the system tray, creating at least 5 Adobe tasks running in the background which use around 113mb of RAM. Since...

    Lightroom catalogue

    I downloaded & installed LR & PS. The end of the PS download failed & when I clicked on LR to have a look, LR went through a wizard to create a catalogue. I had to cancel out of this & now don't know how to set my catalogue to a new location. "File, new catalog" doesn't seem to do it. Can...

    70-200mm f4 advice please

    I'm hoping to be able to stretch to a 70-200mm f4 to complete my 3-lens mid-range zoom dream-team on my forthcoming D610/D620/D750. The purpose of the lens would be extra reach on landscape & event shots, also for wildlife. I understand the lens also works well with the 1.4 teleconvertor for...

    Eyesight & Diopter adjustment

    Hi I wear glasses for distance vision, such as driving & lately, TV. My right "viewfinder" eye has the worst sight. My eyesight is not getting worse quickly, but I have to assume it will gradually get worse over time. I of course have regular check-ups. I do not wear glasses to use a camera...

    CPL & photographing tropical fish

    I will want to photograph tropical fish both close-up & macro. They will be in their regular tank, or perhaps a small display tank. As I would be photographing through glass, would a CPL filter be desirable? With room lights off & close to the glass, I don't assume there will be reflections...

    Monitor calibration

    I was wondering whether any members used monitor calibration. I was thinking about this after a poster recently said that he had adjusted the colour to suit the item that he was holding in his hand. If his monitor is calbrated incorrectly, then this would be displayed only to suit his monitor...

    I understand that the D610 has a flash sync of 1/200. Please could someone explain whether that should concern me? Intended purchase, D610 + Speedlight R1 kit. Main flash usage, indoor & outdoor close-up & macro shots.

    Nikon Image space

    Do any members use Nikon Image space? I already have a Microsoft Onedrive account, I'll also shortly be signing up with the Adobe Photo Cloud LR + PS offer, which I assume comes with some sort if integrated storage. Which facility would most tightly integrate with LR/PS post processing, image...

    Light tent for indoor macro

    Once I get my camera, any indoors will be done in our kitchen. I was browsing around Amazon for light boxes & found some light tents. They look very interesting, allowing a nice mini studio without much cost. Are there any specialist retailers that have a better choice of this sort of thing? I...

    Hoya filters

    A simple question hopefully... Which is the best Hoya filter range? I'm interested in Protectors, a Circular Polariser & maybe ND filter in future. Their awful typo website is unclear: HOYA | The Difference is Clear The HD range or the Pro1 range?

    DX 55-300mm on a D610?

    I've been choosing lens to suit each aspect of photography that interest me, but have reached my budget without choosing something for wildlife. Finding a good quality FX lens of at least 300-400mm is too expensive for me at the moment. Would it be viable to buy a DX lens (e.g. 55-300mm) &...

    Extended Warranty

    I contacted a UK Nikon specialist called Grays of Westminster who seem to provide a good service & have very good prices. I remembered why I prefer to buy off the internet & not talk to salesmen. However the shop does have good reviews. The salesman did heavily push their extended warranty - it...
