I guess I'm a hobbyist who takes general photos, I wouldn't class myself as a professional. ... I'm hopefully doing a few big trips this year and have been using my SLR, Fuji X100s and iPhone. More and more I seem to be enjoying using my iphone more for a walk around camera. It take snaps...

Curious to other peoples experience with this camera. I've had the x100s for a little over a month now, and my first thoughts are nothing but frustration. My biggest gripes are the following... Firstly the autofocus is painfully slow, almost unusable for certain situations and low light. The...

Corahs is the obvious one! I moved to Leicester 8 months ago and still want to check the site out. When the weather gets better (more evening light), might head down. Be interested to know if its a safe area.

Hey guys, So... In a previous thread, I asked people there opinion on whether or not to upgrade from my D5000 to the D7100 or buy a full frame camera. However, after some further research, I'm now beginning to lean towards the Fuji cameras - xpro1 or the x100s. The latter I think would really...

Many thanks for all the replys guys! I'm getting closer to making my decision. Quick question. I have a tokina 11-16mm wideangle lens (dx format). Would I still be able to use this on the D610? I'm aware I may get some vignetting at the corners, but will it still be a usable lens at 16mm...

Finally decided to make the jump and get a new camera.Current camera is a d5000, I have a wide angle lens but mainly use my prime 50mm lens. Never used my 17-55mm. I feel as though I need to take a step up. Thoughts are a D610 with a prime 50mm lens or stick with a crop sensor, purchase a d7100...

Ha, true... Resolution is a big thing for myself, cropping into areas etc and printing larger prints. Cheers for the feedback.

Hi everyone, looking at purchasing a new camera and would be great to get some feedback from you guys. My current kit it a Nikon 5100, tokina wide angle lens and a 35mm prime.I'm ready to upgrade and have been thinking about various options.1. Upgrade to a full frame and look at purchasing a 6d...

Quite simply put, just because there are computer based options available doesn't make you a great composer/write/photographer/musician. To become a great musician or author takes years of knowledge, research, practice and skill, likewise with photography. Technology only helps enhance the...

Hi all, Urgent one... Started a new job this week working with large sized prints and I have a bit of drama. I have a Tiff image that is 4 gig in size and need to send this to the printer by midday tomorrow. Are there any programs or processes I can utilise in Photoshop to bring the...

Bump!... Could really do with some advice. Thanks

Hi all, I'm looking at experimenting with HDR photography and wondered what the best cable release to get would be for the D5000. Can someone also please recommend me a good beginner ND kit of filters, I have to be honest I'm a bit clueless in this area and that's half the reason I would...

To add a couple of places. http://wikitravel.org/en/File:Bokor_Palace_Hotel.JPG A run down casino in the south of Cambodia. And anyone from the Birmingham area?? Theres an amazing abandoned building near millennium point. I've done a few photoshoots there, and it's just a great place...

I was worried about a similar thing... Don't quote me on this but I'm pretty sure it will be covered by your house insurance! Might be a limited time only though. I was away in Morocco for 3 weeks.

2nd idea. Weak colour choice and dated font. The tracking (spacing) is off in the letters at the top, this is prob intentional but overused and looks amateurish. Keep it simple, go down the route of black, grey, gold, then add colour only if necessary. Respectably your getting advice off...
