Goodbye everyone. There have been some posts recently that have made me reconsider using this forum & I've now decided to leave. That you to everyone who helped me to start-up after my 30 year break. I will of course continue to enjoy my photography skills & wish everyone the best of luck. x

Hi I need to improve my aquarium fish shots & am finding lighting an issue. The below shot was taken in a display tank with 2 strong LED light units. Even then, I'm dealing with only f8 for DoF - I'd like a few more stops. I cannot use flash for fish - they do not have eyelids & it would...

I've noticed that several forum members have an X10. I'd be interested in more info about this camera for use as a spare/take anywhere type of camera. One thing I noted was that some of the early X10s had issues with particles on the sensor/or inside the lens. Is this a common issue? Also WRT...

I was trying to figure out how bracketing works last night. I think I made a mess of it. Pressing & holding the bracket button enables me to set the number of shots & amount of exposure difference using the front & rear wheels. When I then framed a shot & pressed the shutter button, I expected...

To replace an Enermax PSU which blew & took out my motherboard, I bought the best PSU I could find - a Seasonic Platinum 860W. I thought it would last me for 10 years! It was very expensive. That was January 2013. This morning it failed. Pop! My computer cut out, I was able to get it running...

I rebuilt my computer with a new drive c & fresh install. The old system was Windows 7 32bit, the new install is Windows 7 64bit. The Lightroom catalogue was always on my drive D which was untouched. After my computer rebuild, Lightroom initially set up a catalogue on drive c, which I changed to...

I'd like to do a watermark with a small graphic & text. Lightroom seem to offer either a graphic, or text, but not both. Is there a way to do this in Lightroom or would I need to create a larger graphic that includes the text?

Windows 7 Rebuild - Creative Cloud Files & ColorMunki My new SSD arrived yesterday afternoon & I spent until midnight building up. Also a good few hours kicking my legacy apps to make them work, until I used Virtual PC. So this morning, new install Windows 7 64bit Pro, 512gb SSD, 16gb RAM, all...

Is there a way within Lightroom to view the metadata of all your shots at once? I'd like to check which focal lengths I'm favouring, I know that's in Lightroom, but only if I scroll the photos one-by one?

I have some ideas for a still-life shoot inside an old local derelict cottage. Lighting will be poor & although I'm planning to get the Nikon R1C1 kit with 2x SB-R200 flash units for close-up work, will they be able to light the subject? What would I need to light, say an old bath or kitchen...

An issue in the Smugmug profile links. The URL pops "nikonites.com/" in front of the web address.

Sigh.... unexpected upgrades over & above the 2tb internal hard drive I bought for storage. With my i7 Windows 7 32bit pc with 4gb RAM, I'm having issues with Lightroom & there's some photos it won't even export as JPG as it claims there's not enough memory. Not entirely true according to task...

I'm aiming to improve my social marketing for my photography business & need to set up a Facebook page. There are several options with no advice or information as to which option is most suited. Could anyone advise? Facebook create a page: Local Business or Place Company, Organisation or...

My neckstrap is still in it's bag & I don't intend to use it. I currently use a Blackrapid wrist strap. Do other owners remove the strap lugs on the camera or just leave them flapping about?

I'm still using the supplied BM-12 monitor cover. Assuming that I still wish to protect the rear monitor, but with something less bulky, what do others use?

Planning a DSLR for my wife. Can PSE deal successfully with RAW & be used as the sole PP software?

This is an indoor candid shot taken today of a friend & neighbour during his first use of an iPad. I love the bewildered expression! I think the background in particular is poor, how could I improve this? I have applied some mild PP in LR as the shot had some noise.

I am using ISO 100 as my base & generally have ISO on auto. Should I be using ISO 64 as my base, or continue with ISO 100? My photography includes macro, close-up & landscape.

I've just started packing for my holiday/vacation. The trip involves a short 40 minute flight, then a car rental. I have one check-in bag & one carry-on, although as it will be a small aircraft I am likely to have to put the carry-on in the hold at the point of boarding the plane. I have a...
