Thanks very much all. I'm going to order a cable off amazon. It came as a huge shock to me that maplin didn't have one! I've read this somewhere else and it does sound like the simplest solution so I think you might be onto something, cheers! Absolutely fair enough :)

I'm no expert in Lightroom or anything, but work in IT and have to do a lot of general troubleshooting. I'll put my 2p worth and pretend I'm at work now (I'm on holiday this week) :) The above quote about it being fine in a browser is key for me here. If it's fine in a browser viewed at the...

My idea of an award is someone using one of my pics as their Facebook profile ;-) If I could produce images like this one of yours I'd be spending too much time being so smug that I wouldn't care what anyone else thought!

Hiya, not sure if this will fit your requirements but I've used 000webhosting in the past. Its free and pretty well featured (php, mysql reasonable amount of space, bandwidth and uptime). You could install WordPress and a image gallery theme on there, or use something like jalbum, but I'm not...

Hi all. I suppose this question doesn't need to be specific to my setup but has anyone had any experience using an android tablet (eg nexus) to display the preview from images on a Nikon (eg d300). I think its doable with a micro to mini USB cable and an app like remote you cam, but was...

I've done it! Got an absolute minter with <10k clicks boxed with all accessories and an mc30. Local so I got to have a play first for £500. Getting a nose bleed trying to get my head round it but am really excited by the quality it seems capable of. Feels like brick too especially with the 85mm...

In a happy coincidence I've just realised I've now been given access to the classifieds. I've had a quick look and there are some exactly as you've described. I've calmed down a bit now so am just going to bide my time. Thanks to all your guys help I now definitely know what I want! D300 it is :)

Thanks so much for the responses guys. I'll be honest and say that I was wanting people to say go for the D90 but was just wanting confirmation that I hadn't missed something obvious so after the first few responses I thought I had it all sewn up. I was going to go with the consensus and my own...

Hi all. Just looking for a bit of advice please. I'm considering upgrading my camera body from a D50. The options I'm looking at currently are D5100 or a D90. Looking at this it seems it's a no brainer, but I'm still leaning towards the D90 due to the lack of auto focus motor in the D5100...

Hi guys. Thanks again, for the responses. I've snagged one for £250 on ebay buy it now with free delivery that will hopefully be here tomorrow. Will give it a good test over the weekend. Now just waiting for my SB-28 and poverty wizards :)

Thanks again got the really helpful and informative posts. I'm bidding on one now. I'll let you know how I get on :-)

Thanks Tom. I'd been very impressed with your images in a previous post in relation to gig photography when I was trying to get some tips, and I'd not realised they were taken on this lens. I think I'm pretty much sold now so am almost certainly going to go for it :) I see from Flickr that these...

Hi all I've been using my Nikon d50 with a 35mm 1.8 DX G since the turn of the new year. I think my "style" seems to be gravitating towards candid, low light gig photography (on a very small scale). It all seems to involve people in close proximity in other words. I've ordered an SB-28 and...

Hello everyone! I was recommended here by the bass player in my band who's the husband of one of the members here lizzy23. I was gifted an old Nokon D50 for xmas and after doing a lot of reading around on places like this have picked up some of the basics, but have quickly come to the...
