    Using ND filters on D5500

    I had time recently to try out using ND filters for the first time. Looking out to sea was a big ship anchored up at a reasonable distance mid frame. My aim was to smooth out the water. D5500 with Nikon 18-55 AF-P VR kit lens. With the camera already set up on a steady tripod and remote...

    Problem with 55-300mm lens on D5500

    Hi all. I've encountered an issue with my used Nikon DX AF-S 55-300mm lens since fitting it onto a brand new D5500. It will not lock into focus nor allow me to take a shot (presumably because it knows the shot is out of focus). Yet other lenses on this body work perfectly. It’s set in “A” mode...

    What to do with Old Minolta AF Lenses

    Hi all. I've been given 3 old lenses (previously used on a Dynax 7000 camera) and don't honestly know what to do with them. There's a Minolta 35-70 AF, Minolta 70-210 AF and a Sigma 28-200 AF 1:4 5.6 I can't vouch for their condition in any way other than saying they don't look physically...

    D3100 upgrade choices

    Bats in flight

    Now the long summer evenings are here I've been experimenting (just for fun) with taking pictures of bats. I think we can all guess a few problems with this. :D Random flight paths, speed of flight and low light not to mention the lack of something to focus on. I set a high ISO and hand held...

    Tone Mapping

    There's a lot of discussion about HDR and there is no doubt about the amazing effects that can be achieved. But without owning a copy of Lightroom what else is there that can handle Nikons' "NEF" images? With just a D3100 camera and the 18-55mm kit lens I've been experimenting with "Tone...
