Hello, It's been a long long while since I have posted anything on here, my apologies. But I kind of lost interest in most of it, especially uploading and curating photos, getting little or no likes and then Covid. But I am back :) Before Covid I was starting to get a few freelance jobs on the...

Hi all, Just tried to create a new blog post and was unable to upload photos, is it just me or is anyone else having an issue? Thanks Mark

So in the best narrative fashion, time passes....... my photography skills continued to improve, my storage space continued to shrink but apart from the very occasional freelance gig things carried on as before more or less, until a new job opened up and after just over a year a small bonus...

SO at last a new camera was mine, an ex-rental Nikon D2x, it fell of the back of a camera hire company through Ebay and a cheekily low offer I got a camera that a few years earlier had been the industry standard for pro news photographers, sports togs and anyone who wanted a camera that could be...

In need of a spare or new body and having little or no cash is a pain, but during a visit from Gordon Brown after some serious flooding in the area (West Cumbria 2009) I had been lined up to try and get some photos of the PM at one location while the official new tog went to get into position at...

Hello all, I have been a Nikonites member for a number of years but haven't been here for a long while, so I thought I would make more of an effort. For those whom I haven't met, hello :) My name is Mark, I live in Cumbria in the NW of England near the Lake District. My current bodies in...

So for about a year we continued doing what we were doing, there were a large number of small festivals being run for charity in the area and no money, again I turned to ebay after a really odd bidding strategy I ended up with a Fuji Finepix S2 Pro, 2 x Fuji Finepix S1 pros and a Nikon D40 and a...

Hi, Many years ago, not long after the dinosaurs had walked the earth I had a camera, eventually I progressed on to a Pentax Z10 35mm camera, I took lots of photos, I got fed up with paying a fortune to get things developed and gave up, sold my kit and stopped. Many years later I got hold of a...

A couple of photos from a local festival last year, any CC's or comments welcome.

Hello all, I have been offered the chance of a used D3 for £500 its been a second body and doesn't have a high shutter count and normal minor wear from general use, do any of you have anything that I should be looking out for? I know my way around having a D2x, D700 and D800 but wondering if...

I have just treated myself to a new body, the D800, and along with my Sigma 50-500mm lens we went for a walk. I am amazed at how bid a step up the D800 is from the D700, anyway I managed to snag this one and wanted to share, any tips or comments welcome, thanks.

One from the Silverstone Moto GP. Nikon D700 with Sigma 50-500mm Lens. shot hand held from the stands/spectator area at full zoom.

​This has had some 'HDR' doing to it just to bring it to life, I welcome any feedback or comments :)

Just wanted to post some pics from my new combination, the D700 as we all know is a brilliant camera, but using a Sigma 50-500mm lens with it has really taken my breath away. Comments are always welcome.

Just a swan, cropped and tweaked from the D700 with the old Sigma 28-300mm on board. Sometimes a photo jumps out, this one keeps jumping up and down and waving at me, this has had a small amount of HDR post processing to bring it out a little further. This is the original Comments on either...

I know that the D700 is no more, its an ex-camera, well sort of from new it is anyway, but seeing as there are a few at reasonable prices out there this may still come in handy - it has for me :) Digitutor D700

OK just bought a used D700, took a few shots over the last day or two, really liked this one, comments welcome :)

I haven't been out with a camera for a while and have been neglecting Nikonites, sorry. I had a bit of an accident involving a ford focus doing a U-turn without checking his mirrors right in front of me on my motorcycle, I think I got a 5.9 for the somersault over the roof, but minus several...

Taken at a 1940's Nostalgia weekend at Croft Racing Circuit, this was one of many photos taken but I thought it one of the best, comments welcome. Nikon D2x with Sigma 28-300mm hand held.
