Hi All, Just after some advice from people in the know, if possible. I was recently at an agricultural show shooting some animals (hobby not a paid job), and as my equipment is basic, I was using my Nikon D7000 and a Sigma 70-300mm (5.6 :|) ... the photos of the animals that were being...

Thanks mate, I'll have a look at that later. Just out of interest, what insert do you use? And what does it hold?

Finally got round to looking, and I really like the look of this, plus an insert (Not idea what insert, I'm not too knowledgeable on them!) https://www.ospreyeurope.com/shop/gb_en/talon-pro-30-2021

Well, without sounding too... woe is me, I've had some ongoing health issues to start 2021 well.... So much so that my camera has been sat in its bag, untouched, and I haven't looked at bags, or tripods, or lenses (was considering something for my upcoming birthday), however as I have seen...

Is this something you would recommend and/or do yourself, or would you leave it to a pro? I fancy getting my camera cleaned up and serviced, ready to go in 2021, but I am unsure on whether this is something that should be attempted or not. My friend said he's recently bought a kit from Amazon...

Thanks for all the responses lads. Gonna sit down later all, go through them all and have a look at all the bags recommended. I'm thankful I've got a bag i can use for local work whilst I look at bags, along with getting back into things in 2021!

Hi All, Just looking for recommendations on a durable bag that people use when they are out hiking/shooting all day? I currently have a Lowerpro bag that I bought years ago. In the bottom part it has room for the camera and 3-4 lenses, and the top section holds my filters, but I have no where...

Thank you, that's a great idea. I think I will start to document dates, times, conditions, etc, so I can get a log up, but also I can start to learn what places should be like when I go there. Thank you :) Thank you, I'll keep that information aside for when I start to track the weather/try...

Afternoon All, After a long break from photography, I'm now determined to get back into things in 2021 as a way to help both my mental health and physical, setting myself some challenges and really focusing on improving (hopefully). One shot I know I want to achieve in 2021 is to shoot a misty...

Thanks mate, I've given that a go, but it doesn't look too good. I think it's probably just me though! I do have another photo, taking slightly off centre and same zoom, but cut and paste isn't working for me :( I'm pretty terrible at PS though

Hi All, I've got a quick question regarding if something is possible in PS-CS6. I'm very bad at CS6, however... I have taken a photo I kind of like when I was recently on the Isle of Skye, however there is a blurry white mark in the photo, and it looks as though, due to rushing, I may have got...

Thank you for your reply! No kids, just the wife (I'm the kid really!) I aim to get there around 8/8.30am as thats the earliest we can manage as we'll be leaving Portree that morning and visiting the castle on the way up north! I really like that photo! I'll be there in the morning, so no idea...

Hi All, I'm spending a week up in the Highlands next week (fingers crossed for good weather), and whilst I won't get "too much" time with the camera, I want to try and get a nice photo of the above castle (I've read it's Scotland's most photographed castle). I was just wondering, for those...

Ish, but more due to my lack of understanding, not the way you explained it. Am I right in thinking you go into Manual mode, input the ISO and F Stop, and then take a photo, then take whatever shutter speed that camera has used? And then calculate your exposure for the filters?

Lets hope someone with experience helps us out here! :banana:
