A bit late on this one - but with the new season approaching............ The above response strikes me as a bit glib. It hardly is a statement of fact when this "fact" appears to be ignored/bent by the clubs and public alike. I have doubts as to the "legality" of this "fact". I regularly...

This is one of those subjects where there is a lot of conflicting information around .................Google it and you will see what I mean. eg: http://www.luminous-landscape.com/tutorials/understanding-series/u-raw-files.shtml "Some cameras compress these files, others don't. In any...

I must plead guilty there, didn't look too closely as wifey was waiting for the taxi driver this morning..................... Anyway - thank you for the post coldpenguin - proves my original point quite admirably ! Below is a very quick (about 30 secs) stab at "improving" your photograph -...

Easy ! :D:D

Sorry for the delay folks, my 'phone line died on me - then several lengthy calls to Bombay !! Two visits from Openreach and they are coming back again to dig up my garden/pavement :bang: Everyone (bar one) seems to be not reading/understanding my original point. This was the main...

At the risk of repeating myself, the important thing to remember is that RAW is NOT a photographic file - it is a data file. I think the most common mistake amongst many RAW users (not necessarily new ones either) is the idea, that once converted and opened as a visible photographic file, RAW...

I always check that the card is empty before I leave, then I can see if the camera is too !

Ooooh !

The 18 - 55 "kit" lens is a VERY good lens, especially for the money. Ken Rockwell has it in his top ten Nikon lenses list.

I went for the 18 - 200 Nikkor. A superb lens, no more swapping lenses over every second shot............ http://www.kenrockwell.com/nikon/18200.htm

Do you all manage lots of athletics meetings ??

Hope you meant a smaller aperture - ie: a larger f number ;)
