Looks like it was an issue with the battery, i was using a 3rd party one and it was registering as full. Took it out popped in an official nikon one and all is well again

I came this morning to use my d200 for the first time in about 2 weeks or so, when i put the lens on (a nifty 50) all the camera would do is display r25 on the top screen. I'm aware that r25 is something to do with the buffer on the camera, more worryingly the screen wont come on and non of...

I have seen many many amazing photos that some of you guys have taken in the mach loop (near RAF valley i think) ? im going on holiiday to machynlleth next year and was wondering if anyone could give me any info on how to get to a decent vantage point etc any info would be much...

I do alot of hiking at weekends and i'd like to be able to take my camera with me, at the moment i have a crumpler pretty boy shoulder bag which is fairly useless on long hikes! I'd like a bag that will take a Nikon d70s with a lens attached and enough room for a couple of other lenses, also...

what kind of camera do you have to start with? if its a d40/d40x or a d60 then your nifty wont autofocus so its time to start training the rabbit to sit still if so

well i start work on that day at 5am so i might get up a bit early and come and watch the towers come down so if ya see a bloke on a silver bike come and say ello :)

i do a bit of band photography and i try to stay away from using flash it kinda kills the feeling of the pictures. Use a nifty 50 and dont be afraid to shove your way through the crowd to get some good shots :)
