Ive have use of a Nikon 70-200 vr lens for getting some candid shots for a friend (lovely lens, I have used one before) I have a Monopod which again I have used before on other lenses when needed. This got me thinking can you use a Monopod with the vr turned on for super steadiness if the light...

I doubt slow RAW would bother me as I mostly take my time, using a tripod, long exposures etc. edit, just googled and it looks like the RAWs take like >10 seconds, that might be a bit iratating, but still its not like waiting to get a film developed so I may be ok with it. edit: Hmm the GRD2 is...

Interesting, If I had some spare money, I would like to get a GR-Digital. I mostly shoot long exposures at night (at ISO 100), any comments on how well the original GR-Digital does at this?

Thanks, white house looks a bit too professional for my needs. Kodak should be great, I have opened an account but theres a couple of photos I need still to take then I will get them all uploaded and fingers crossed get them ordered. Thanks.

My inlaws are in the USA (Ohio) for a year or so, I want to send them some pictures of the grandkids etc so figured that should be easy in the world of internet as I should just be able to upload them to an American site and get them delivered to their address. I figure the probable glitches I...

if there may be an issue, blank the face out then post the photo.

^because its nearer to the centre of gravity of the combined lens and camera.

you could wire something up by butchering a remote release, look on 7dayshop or similar for a cheap one. another idea that may help it to use back button focusing, where you assign one of the rear button to the focus rather than half press of the shutter. I dont use it but many people swear by...

That is fantastic advice. I got my DSLR just before Christmas, I’d played with auto ISO in AP before and found there to be too many compromises, but In manual its spot on, I am kicking myself for not realising it earlier. I have set the front programmable button on my D80 to show iso (as...

Whilst it would be naive to say no one on the UE scene ever breaks in, it is most definitely far from the norm (and even for most of those that have broken in its far from their norm also). A lot of fun comes finding a way in sometimes you have to get inventive and the better you can climb the...

the 1/focal length rule is IMO for something that is not moving, you can get away with it if the child sits still long enough, but at that speed your on the limit of handholding a sharp picture and risking any movement on their side messing it up. I have gone that low when situation dictates...

yep, most my exploring days have been in Hull although I'm in teesside now, been busy with other stuff recently though (including trying to improve my photography). My favourite stuff is underground, but I dont get to do much, then high stuff, but I do a bit of everything. Here are some of my...

its been like that for a while. last time i bought something direct with papal (and not through ebay) instead of doing it as a gift with me paying i did it as normal paypal but just increased the amount i sent accordingly, other wise i was paying the same and not getting the paypal protection...

where did you have the focus set to?

I wanted the D90, wallet said no so I have a D80 its a great camera but the D90 is a whole new generation (live view, video, most importantly handles high iso so much better with much less noise) and well well worth getting if you can. infact as you asked the question it implies its not out of...
