    Causes of "SD card is not formatted" errors?

    I sold my old D3200 to a friend, who has been using it for the last few months without issue. Twice this month though, he has had an error message saying the sd card is damaged, cannot be used or is not formatted. These have come towards the end of a day taking pictures with no issue, checking...

    I've put a bid in on one of these on ebay, but now I'm not sure if its fully compatible with the autofocus on my D7500?

    D7500 and Tamron 100-400 F/4.5-6.3 VR issues?

    Hi folks, I recently upgraded from a D3200 to a D7500, and took it out for the first time earlier this week. I was playing around with some of the settings in fairly low light in an aircraft hangar, experimenting with how far I could push things like the ISO compared to the D3200, so I wasn't...

    Black & white images with one selective colour

    Apologies, this has probably been asked a million times....... Can anyone give me advice on how to create a black and white image, with one colour selective? I'm on a Windows PC, haven't got Photoshop, but have got NX Studio. I've got some pictures of my favourite Spitfire which has some nice...

    Night-time aviation photography advice?

    In a couple of weeks time, I'm doing my first night-time aviation photography session at the Shuttleworth Collection. I've done a bit of research in to typical settings, and I *think* I have an idea, but don't want to lose too much time on the night uisng the wrong settings. I have a tripod...

    D3200 zoom lens options for 300mm+

    I have a D3200, which I am currently using with a Tamron 70-300mm zoom lens. It generally does the trick, but it does seem to lose quality at lengths much over 200-250mm. As I enjoy aviation photography, and I attend a couple of events each year at IWM Duxford where the display line is not only...

    Wingtip-to-wingtip flight with a Spitfire

    Morning all, Getting very, very excited now, as on Saturday, weather-permitting, I should be doing a wingtip-to-wingtip flight alongside a Spitfire! This is the whole reason why I upgraded to a DSLR, and why I've been getting as much practice in as I can. I've just taken delivery of a new...

    Image stabilised zoom lens recommendations

    I think I made a mistake when I bought my kit in going for the cheap, ie. non-IS/VC Tamron zoom lens, as I'm struggling at the moment to get clear, sharp shots of moving subjects at max zoom. So, I think an IS version would be the way to go. Looking at either Tamron 28-300mm or the 16-300mm, as...

    A few from the Duxford Spring Car Show

    Taken at yesterday's Spring Car show at Duxford IWM. One thing I know myself, is that a slower shutter speed would have helped with an impression of movement with the aerial shots. Was at max zoom though, so tried to make it as quick as possible to reduce the effects of camera shake with my...

    AF-S Nikkor 50mm f/1.8G

    I'm currently bidding on one of these on Ebay. Looks like it should be an ideal lens to get me the shallow depth of field I want on some shots - the standard 18-55mm lens that came in my camera kit doesn't go shallow enough? Seems a good lens for the price?

    A couple of shots of my car

    Taken a few weeks ago on the first real chance I had to have a play with my new D3200. New to proper DSLR photography, so I'm feeling my way by trial and error, picking up a few tips from a pro mate of mine.

    Morning all!

    Hey everybody. I'm relatively new to the DSLR world, having recently upgraded to a D3200 from my previous Fuji Finepix bridge camera. It always took a half decent shot, but was very zoom-limited, and with a Spitfire flight experience coming up in a couple of weeks time, I felt the need to...
