Thanks everyone for explaining it for me, makes a lot more sense to me now :)

I'm looking at buying a Nikon D5300 and will only be using it in raw, I have just read this in a review and feel confused, "Continuous-shooting performance matches the D5200 at 5.1fps for unlimited JPEGs, and the raw burst remains a still-disappointing six frames for a reasonable 4.7fps." Can...

I am planning to buy either a Nikon D5200 or D5300 in the next few days, I'm just wondering if anyone can suggest a zoom lens that goes upto 400mm that I could purchase for use with the new camera. I would if possible like something with built in image stabilization. I have a 70-300mm lens I use...

Thanks for the reply's I'm thinking now about getting the D5200 or D5300 rather than a D7100, just a final question if I stick a teleconverter on a Nikon body with no built in motor would everything still work as usual or would the converter cause any problems.

I'm looking into upgrading from my Nikon D40 and am thinking about either a D5300 or a D7100, the 7100 has built in autofocus motor while the other does not. I'm just wondering what the benefits of having a built in motor are aside from the obvious one that it lets you use lenses without a built...

Hi Everyone, Sorry to ask a really basic question but can anyone point me in the direction of the "Add layer mask icon" in photoshop please as I cant seem to find it, im a bit new to any proper editing gear and am working through a guide in a magazine but frustratingly it does not tell me where...

I will be going to the Waddington airshow in a couple of weeks and if the weather is decent you end up taking photos directly into sunlight, sorry to ask what may come as a basic question but would a uv or polarising filter help when shooting into these conditions as I tend to find the sky looks...

I will be reediting these photos over the weekend and am after some advice on how to sharpen them, I have been told to use unsharpen mask but don't really understand what that is and how to use it. Also at what part of the editing process would you sharpen a photo and would you look to sharpen...

I will be buying my first tripod in the next couple of days and was wondering if anyone has any advice on what to look for or brands to avoid, it will be used with my Nikon D40 with 75-300mm lens and at some point a more advanced Nikon DSLR. I have been looking at this one on Amazon, would it...

Would love to see the 2 Lancs and the Vulcan do a flypast together at some point while its over, I really need to get some time off booked so I can be at Coningsby when it arrives.

Does anyone on here use the Nikon AF-S DX NIKKOR 55-300mm f/4.5-5.6G ED VR Lens at all, I got a second hand 75-300mm lens years ago and it seems to be on its last legs - autofoucs becoming slower and sometimes stops working at all. I have seen the Nikon lens for £199 on Amazon and am thinking...

Thanks for the replys

Sorry to ask a fairly dumb question but if I use a teleconverter on a Nikon DSLR without in built auto foucs will the lens its attached to still auto foucs as it does now or will adding the teleconverter cause problems ?

I have posted this photo on a few places and been told its been to tightly cropped, just wondering how others would go about cropping it if at all, top photo is the original bottom one is the cropped version.

Thanks for the replys, reason for using ISO 200 is its the lowest setting on the D40x. I have been using exposer compensation as even on a day with a bright blue sky I have to play around with the photos to get the colors looking how I want them. Top shot is the original and the bottom one has...
