Hi there .. I've done pretty well at nightclub photography with the kit lens, onboard flash, and a screw-on 0.5x wide angle adapter, but its time to move up a level. My typical shots at the moment are F3.5, 1/4th second rear-curtain flash, with flash exposure compensation at about -1ev. Spin...

Hello .. say you're in a dark night-club environment and want to do a 1 second blur/trail with a flash-lit portrait at the end - with the D3200 I'm getting a flash before the 1 second exposure; and also a flash at the end as well. Example being a portrait of a DJ; you turn/zoom the camera during...

Just spotted this thread, would have missed it since I have a D3200 now, had a D50 before. Just a few personal tips from my experience: ISO - Don't go up to high ISO's or you'll suffer from major noise issues, every ISO you go is a compromise, I'm shooting star trails at 100/200 or 400, I was...

Today the Moon rose 30 minutes later than yesterday, thus 30 mins darker conditions, but the distant cloud bank on the horizon was still there, it took about 8/10mins for the Moon to clear the cloud before it became visible. What I really wanted was a Yacht over the lunar disc or something but...

These astronomical events are a real challenge, not just technically but also because there is so much luck involved .. I was all set up and waiting but there was a band of cloud hanging on the horizon; just enough to screw up the main objective of my mission. About 15 mins after moon rise we...

Nice image Neal, difficult subjects; to get the Moon without being overexposed, and Venus without fringing or trailing. I have to post my image of the Moon and Mercury from a few years back just to show how similar they are, you need some kinda foreground to make it work. Taken with my old D50...

I was getting pretty boring pics of this dandelion; until the bee turned up : )

Do you have a polarizing filter on? I have a Hoya Pro UV filter on the end (for protecting the glass) but I've never seen little spectrums in my flares; I get plenty colourful circles though; when shooting towards the Sun. One-shot HDR is ideal for the D3200 with it's large dynamic range...

On the subject of Orchids... no idea which variety this is, it's actually a house plant which I took outside for a spot of modelling.

Sorry, I had to do it ..: And this is what it looks overlaid on top of Dave's huge field of view: So, I guess that is 35mm, apologies, just looks much more zoomed than I would have expected, but you can see the FoV you have. To better that image; I think you would need to perfect the focus...

Hi ppl, awesome images Dave! Jack, you say 35mm but the image you posted looks much more zoomed in, like I'd expect from my kit lens at 52mm, if not more? The group of stars just above center is the 'Coathanger' cluster in Vulpecula; between Cygnus and Aquilla. If you want to show the Milky Way...

Hey there, some great flower pics here : ) I'm just getting used to my new D3200, and also the latest version of Photoshop with it's wonderful raw import and cropping tools etc. Shooting at 24mp gives an overwhelming amount of cropping options, I'm finding that opening the print dialogue; or...

Hey ppl . .. I was used to having a 30 min limit on bulb exposures from my old D50, and I sort of expected my new D3200 to be the same. BUT, in the manual it says bulb mode is 'indefinite' so I got all excited!! I tried it using my IR remote control, and was gutted when it turned off at 30 mins...
