For portrait you need the 85

Unless you really pixel creep you would never ever tell the difference between the Sigma 24-70 and the Nikkor. I have all sigma on a D700 and I have never ever had a anyone tell me, or I have felt that the lenses let my photography down. The only thing I would say is that the Sigma 24-70 has a...

Three went up, one stayed in the warm, two went down .......... and the assistant.

Does anyone have experience on getting a SB900 repaired? Dropped my flash and the body has broken by the hotshoe, flash still works ok; but would like to get the outer casing repaired / replaced. Am I best to send back to Nikon UK in Kingston? I would just like it repaired, I don't want a...

Once you try a Black Rapid you will never go back to a neck strap

Haley, I had the same issue sometime back and with the same budget. I opted for the Sigma 70-200 f2.8 (no os). Have not looked back. If i need a little more length i stick on a 1.4 Sigma convertor which only knocks a stop off to f4. For me i was so impressed with it i changed all my lenses to...

Just seen the very keen cost 3k! Think the d800 looks a better deal, but they look very different animals.

You have not changed the settings of the on camera flash as the commander have you? In commander mode it's giving enough light to remotely fire other strobes.

I have two SB900's with a D700, I use http://www.warehouseexpress.com/buy-seculine-twinlink-t2d-transmitter-and-receiver-kit/p1033478 I use the receiver with one of the sb900's as the master and the other as a slave. Shooting manual. Radio trigger kit works a treat, I've had no problems so far.

No I'd have to have a go, lol, my tripod would be worth it!

Go to Photsel.com and get yourself a backdrop stand kit, think they are about £50ish, and get some bull dog clips and hang your backdrop and clip to the stands.

There are no tips, you just have to play, like yourself I started a mini home studio and now....... Well just say the girlfriends lost her front room to stands backdrops cables umbrellas soft boxes etc etc. The only way to understand light is to play with it. Have fun

Sounds to me if your throwing too much light at it, move your subject forward. The other thing to do is hang the back drop and spray with water from an atomiser, the creases should go from the weight of the backdrop. Are you clipping the backdrop to your stands? Make sure you pull tight.

What colour back drop is it?
