    Need a New Bag For Travelling

    Hello fellow Nikoniters - been a while since I was on here. I'm looking at doing another photo safari to Africa and looking at buying a better travel bag. Of course I can't make up my mind as I want something really strong and sturdy, but inconspicuous, as South Africa is notorious for the...

    My South African Photo Safari

    Allow me an introduction: About a year ago I decided to arrange a Photo Safari to South Africa. The plan was to arrange a "New Zealanders Only" group to go on a once-in-a-lifetime trip to view some real wild animals in their natural habitat. In the end there were 10 of us that went - all from...

    Tentative feeler. In good condition for a good price Shipping address will be in USA for onward forwarding to New Zealand so will need to be well wrapped. @Blacktop sold one earlier this year and I mussed it.

    Frustrated in a way

    Bear with me for a while ... I love my D7100 but for some time now I have felt I am not producing photos as sharp as I would like them to be. I recently had the pleasure of handling a D500 and my head has been in a spin ever since. But I cannot afford one at this stage - or rather don't think...

    ISO 2000 in the D7100

    Fooling around in the lounge yesterday and decided to test the ISO on the d7100 - well not a full blown test as in 20 different shots. Just 1 in fact at ISO 2000 This is after removing noise in LR, no ther adjustments at all. Pretty impressive. Don Kuykendall ran a whole lot of tests on the...

    My portrait shots went up a notch today

    I have been working really hard at my portrait shots and today I had an amazing shoot. A bit of a story behind this particular model who I told (in a nice way) that I don't like her model smile. I emphasised over and over that she has a lovely mouth and in the end I captured a lot of wonderful...

    Im Confused ... (not difficult)

    So I have LightRoom and PhotoShop CC I download my photos from my card into LR. Process what I can there - which is most everything - and move to PS if I need to. This last week I signed up for a "Sharpening for printing" course. It is very specific and designed to produce exceptional...

    Clutter, clutter, clutter ... aaaarrrrgh!

    What is wrong with me? This month and next I am trying to concentrate on landscapes and no matter what I do I can't seem to compose anything. So frustrating. I am inspired by Lars Van de Goor and his photos are really simple but very compelling. Something anyone would want to hang on their...

    Sigma 10-20 f4-5.6 on D7100

    Juat got this lens and as @RocketCowboy is clearly bored I thought i would post some test shots. But first ... Wonderfully built - almost like Bo Derek but then its hard to beat 10 (even in stops) This thing is fast! Like a roadrunner ....! and smooth ... No apologies for the shots as it...

    A perfect Photograhy afternoon ...

    Just got back from work and the sun is a glorious golden colour. About an hour out from sunset and it is going to be a brilliant one and yet ... I just don't feel motivated enough to get the camera and tripod out and go and shoot something spectacular. Sure it will be a bit cold out there...

    Only 3 out of 11

    I need your help folks - please! I have to enter 3 photos in my local club competition and can't decide which three to enter out of the following 11 shots. Could I ask you to help me decide? The criteria is pretty broad - "Close-up" Now close-up is one thing but the photo still needs to be...

    Storage problems

    I am sick

    That is not to say I am unwell ... I am sick of photography for the day and sick of macro for a an even longer time. No matter what I try I get the same results which are not quite what I wanted. We shall see what tomorrow brings but for now I think it is time to go buy a bottle of wine for a...
