Thanks.... Just looked through my settings and it was set on focus priority. I've set it to the release setting and hopefully this will sort out the problem.

Taken today in not the brightest of conditions ... I am using my 10 year old Nikon D300 with Sigma DG 150-500mm f/5.0-6.3 APO HSM. Was hoping for a bit sharper image but thinking that conditions were against me although I am happy with the blur on the wings which is what I intended. Been...

I'm in the same predicament but am waiting to see/try the New Tamron 150-600. I have seen a comparison review and a point was made that the Sigma's at 500 lose some sharpness whereas the Nikon 80-400 doesn't. I have seen the Nikon at various prices from £950-1800 so I suppose there are...

Ahhhh! ........ is Trevor willing to share?

Owww ....come on peeps can't believe with all the WHF posts on TP no one has got a 50mm shot from their visit ....... please! pretty please! Paul

Thx, Sarah, Rob, Brian & Paul for your feedback. I think i'll play safe with my 18-200mm i've got quite comfortable with this lens so this will be a good thing. One thing I was wondering is how useful my 50mm would be, as obviously this is my sharpest lens. Does anyone have examples...

Hi All, I have unexpectedly been given the chance to visit the WHF in Kent next Sun and so I am hoping I can get some advice from fellow TP'ers who have already had the chance to visit. I am using a D300 and have the following lenses: Nikon AF-S DX VR 18-200mm f/3.5-5.6G IF-ED Sigma...

There is the Basildon meetup group. Link Here Very friendly informal group ..... get out and about alot. Paul

Thx Pete. I am really pleased with it which is not often the case with me. Where are you going in Oz? We were in the Brisbane area most of the time but spent 3 days in Sydney and a Week on the Sunshine Coast at Coolam Beach.

Hi Pete, Had this issue last year when I went to visit relatives in Oz. In the end didn't leave anything to chance I took all my kit inc my uber heavy Manfrotto tripod (which I broke down and packed into separate suitcase). In the end I was glad I did as I used it all and without my tripod and...

John, Thx for your continued assistance, I will try the filezilla ftp route and see if this gets round the problem.

Before I go ahead with the ftp server config. Was wondering if the transfer mode only works using ftp or should it be able to transfer files just using windows? The thumbnail view mode works fine, so thinking I may have to use this route as the filezilla server is unsupported for windows 7.

Would filezilla be ok to use as ftp software .... not had much experience setting up an ftp site? :bonk:

Hi All :D Thanks for the responses. itsdavedotnet Had a quick search on the EPS forum and doesn't seem to be any info but may register and post the question (I know how knowledgeable and good the advice on TP is so will use EPS as last resort) Thx for the info. Kaouthia I was hoping...

:help: I've been kindly lent a WT-4 unit which I have plans to try out at an event i'm covering. I have managed to get the unit working when using thumbnail mode but when using transfer mode I get an error light on the WT-4and an error on the D300 can't connect to PC. I am using Windows 7 any...
