I was at Silverstone on Sunday and used the D800 all day, on paper the 4fps is slow but if you have a fast enough card to clear the buffer you should be fine, that's normally my biggest issue. I had my gripped D300s with me but never felt the need to use it because I was missing anything. Of...

I have some Hitech filters, they are good by themselves with no colour caste that I can notice, however I found when I stack my 0.6 grad ND and my 1.2 full ND there was a magenta caste. Found an image to show what I mean: It can be fixed in something like Lightroom with a graduated...

You can't do the update over Kies Air it needs to be done by installing the Kies desktop application: http://www.samsung.com/uk/support/usefulsoftware/KIES/JSP Then it will check for updates (I am on o2 so updated mine last night) and offer to update your phone, took around 10 minutes all...

No worries, btw it's a toll road of sorts the last mile, IIRC it was £1.50 and free parking once you get there. There is a tea shop right near the lighthouse with toilets etc. Also there is Puffin Island as a backdrop to the lighthouse, found this if you are interested in birding. (not been...

Penmon lighthouse is on Anglesey, 15 minutes drive from Bangor, nice for landscapes and the occasional bird, also spotted some seals close to the shore when I was there. Otherwise the lakes around Snowdon are nice to visit.

I have the 12-24mm and love it, I think you will use the longer end more than you think, the focal range is quite handy for landscapes I feel, although I really did think about the 11-16mm, don't underestimate the f/2.8, there are times when I would find it useful, for example with such a large...

Might well be interested in this, I've asked them via Twitter if there are restrictions on taking photographs so will update if I hear anything.

If there is one thing I've learnt in landscape/outdoor photography is that you can't just turn up and take a fantastic photo in perfect light (whatever your definition of perfect light is at the time) within 5 minutes of getting there and then head home. Unfortunately in this hobby you really...

To be honest I had my 35mm f1.8 and only used it on a few occasions, such as in dim restaurants but I was there in the summer

Definitely wide, and definitely a telephoto for picking out buildings at distance to negate perspective distortion. I was there in June and had my 12-24mm (most used walking around) my 70-300mm Sigma (now gone) which in the end I only used for the Red Bull air race on at the time. Also took my...

Just had a look, appears they took it off the website, its under this section normally: http://www.dalephotographic.co.uk/mall/departmentpage.cfm/DalePhotographicOnline/_142494/1/Lee%2520Glass%2520Filters Maybe worth calling them to see if they will be getting stock :)

You can get pretty close, think min focus is 12 inches? This was pretty close :) "What's that then?" by James Hastie, on Flickr
