OK I have sort of been hankering after a Nikon D7100 and money was the issue. I think I may have picked one up with extra lenses, battery, memory card, flash - the whole lot for as little as NZ$24.00 Hold thumbs for lotto tonight! :) I personally know 1 person who won ZAR10,5000.000 (South...

I need to get some more memory cards for a forthcoming trip. As per Scott Murray :) I have been using the 32 GB Sandisk Extreme Pro 95 MB/s Class 10 and will likely stay with the same unless I can be convinced otherwise. These are a bit expensive in New Zealand (you guys in the USA have no...

This year I have not taken on any challenges such as a 365 or a one in 52 as I want to concentrate on a few things. During the course of the year I hope to discover what I enjoy photographing and then concentrate and perfect whatever that may be. So far I enjoy landscape photography and...

I found this guys photos amazing and the video very interesting.

I came across this article on FaceBook and thought it both interesting and informative. Not that I want to become a pro - (oh who am I kidding? Of course I do. :o) The article is pretty simple, not pushy and gives links for further reading if that is what floats your boat. Want To Be A...

Be interesting to know how many people start this. I'm almost sorry I didn't now. "Almost" being the operative word :)

I have taken photos of musical groups indoors (no window light to speak of available) on a couple of occasions without using flash with my 35mm f1.8. I have never been happy with the results when the ISO has been high. Has anyone tested the D5100 for acceptable results indoors without flash...

Sitting in the lounge a minute ago I realised something. I had been reading and decided to give my eyes a bit of a break so I took my glasses off; that's when it hit me! I almost jumped up and ran down the road shouting "Eureka, eureka" but wisdom told me that posting this would get the...

Thought it might be interesting to hear stories about those that "lurked" and then decided to join. Sort of like: Why did you lurk? How long did you lurk? Did you lurk on any other forums? What made you decide to join? Anything else you can tell us all that may be...

Let me try and explain my question - it's kinda jumbled in my mind. My PP starts with importing in LR and doing as much as I can there and then I jump over to Photoshop. In PS I may do one thing or I may do several and my question is before going back to LR with the PS adjustments when do I...

After the birds of prey visit on Sunday we were discussing a number of things and a couple of the top photographers in the group said they shoot with both eyes open and it makes one more aware of what is happening outside of the viewfinder and therefore what might soon be happening in the...

A quick question. The other night I was the "assist" shoot at a children's variety show and the main shooter, a professional wedding photographer, was using a hand held light meter. What the hell was she measuring? I found I was quite fine with my much lower-end gear while she had much more...

To all of you that celebrate Thanks Giving. Turkeys are safe here ...

OK so I buy a new tripod and base my choice around a few things: Budget! Load capacity Weight Size Brand reputation Reviews etc. Squeeze trigger and the tripod arrives with a hook underneath to attach weight as additional stability as required. All makes sense to me but where will I get this...

Anyone have one of these that can give me some feedback? I can pick one up (new) for a pretty good price and am just about convinced to go ahead. However when it comes to buying it seems I don't need much convincing so hold me back if I need to be. I would also need a decent head to put on it...

Well worth the watch ... New Peugeot 208 GTi 30th | Film The Legend Returns - YouTube

This "Movember" thing has taken off so well in New Zealand - everyone and everything seems to be getting behind it.

The Melbourne Cup is the biggest race in this part of the world and is run annually. This year's event promises to be bigger and better and more exciting than ever - don't bother phoning anyone in Australia this coming Tuesday they will be far too busy. Here in New Zealand we have nothing as...

I hate the times when there are no creative juices flowing. I don't suppose it can be forced and the best thing is probably to let it pass. Anyone else on a similar plateau?
