    Review Quick review ebay battery grip for D90

    Got my grip free when I bought the D700 from Nikon. Great with the extra battery life with two effectivel in it but no extra fraems per second unless I buy a different battery with a different charger. Seems odd way to do it.

    Which Lens to use.

    To be fair neither of the lenses you had available made it any easier for you. It`s the sort of shot where a dedicated macro comes into it`s own. You have to keep the shutter speed up and be around them a while to anticipate movement and get used to what they do for best chance of success.

    Bored of white backgrounds anyone?

    I did some shots for my ex boss and he wanted the Venture style white backgrounds with lots of colours.

    Don't shoot lasers!!!!

    I bet he`d find it hard to sue as there`s probably something on the ticket saying no photography or certainly no professional type gear

    "I am not a terrorist!", "Photography is not a crime!" - The fightback starts here...

    On what basis do you judge it to be a "public place" - being a lace where the public go without admission / entry conditions does not make it legal for photography. What matters is whether there is a public right of way through that shopping area. A cheque on pillars etc at start of shopping...

    Don't shoot lasers!!!!

    Been known for a fair while that without looking at the link. That`s why there is careful placement of film crews etc to avoid damage to other recording equipment

    Wide angle lens

    I just sold my Sigma 10-20 and agree it was a magical lens. Just went full frame and had to change it for a Nikon 16-35 f4 though as it just would not work well full frame
