Thanks very much for all the advice, some great stuff here thanks. Matt do you have a guide on this type of Photography?

Got a decent enough Torch and a couple of Headlights from fishing, I'm heading to Bath in March and wanted to start there with a few night shots of the Bridge, Baths and city centre.

The wife just thinks i'm mad for wanting to go out taking Photo's at night anyway so that's not a problem, money does tend to burn a hole in my pocket and when I get a new idea I always end up spending a fortune, Motorbikes, cars, boats, cameras and lots of other stuff stowed away in the Garage...

Thanks for the help I was nearly about to order the 50mm 1.4 thinking I needed that but thanks for the advice, I have three Tripods none of which were too expensive so a decent tripod will be my next purchase, any ideas of a good make? I have a number of triggers which I have bought from Ebay...

I am interested in low light and maybe a little Night time Photography, Landscapes, Buildings, the sky etc.... Can anyone help me with what would be the best type of Lens to go with or any other tips for this kind of Photography, I did look at purchasing the Nikkon 50mm 1.4G would this be...

When I went to Rome for the Weekend I took the 35mm 1.8 and Sigma 10-20mm, I did also pack my 18-200 but it never really got used. Hopefully going to Bruges in April and will be taking the same.

I have both the 40mm micro and the 35mm, when I first got my 40mm it was never off of the camera and I thought it was great for portraits and Micro type shots, It is great for micro if its a plant/flower or something slow moving otherwise its just too short for getting near anything and if...

Thanks for the help, will look at the 85mm, I like the 35mm for portaits and for a few artistic Photographs but I just thought the 50mm 1.4 might be better. I suppose though 1.8 to 1.4 is not a huge drop so probably wouldn't add much?

Was there a reason to add "eerr" I am new to Photography and I simply asking for some help and advice. However maybe I could have just said; I am looking for a lens which would be good for a bit of portrait and general photography in low light situations that has a good bokeh and would the...

Nikon 50mm F1.4G AF-S Nikkor Lens Anyone know If this lens is any good? I have the 35mm 1.8 at the moment, would this make much difference and be better? Thanks

I did do the compare on the Snapsort website and it told me the D7000 was better, I was just confused when I read an article somewhere saying how the D5200 has a better or newer processor and was better for low light photography. I was kind of leaning toward the D5200 as it takes the same...

Thanks for the replies, I never have bought into the whole MP thing as I consider 14MP to be more than enough for what I do. If I did buy the 5200 then I would more than likely drop it down to a smaller MP count unless I needed a bigger size. I am more considering which will offer me better...

Thanks for the help there, Just going to order mine now from Ebay.. Thanks

Looking at getting into a bit of slow shutter speed photography this year, I have a Sigma 10-20mm. Is that ok for Slow Shutter speeds? I was told that by adding filters to the front of a wide angle lens it would bring vignetting to the photo and make for a bad image??

Not a Great fan of second hand, I do not knock anyone who buys second hand. I just have a slight bit of OCD with regards to second hand items and of course its nice to have something NEW. I have about 10 lenses, about half of which are Decent and the rest fair, the lenses I use tend to be...
