I think this is a really good portrait, it makes a change to see a face looking natural. The composition and bokeh is nice and the hair colour of both girl and guinea pig work well with her cheek colour and freckles. I think people can't relate to shots like this anymore as they are so used to...

I set up an account a while back and must admit a lot of the work on there is of a very high standard and inspirational and some of the best work out there. But I have always thought how most photographers on there are very skilled at post processing which puts me a big disadvantage...

I agree, with DX go for the 18-200 it's a great walk around lens. I used to use one on a D300 and was very impressed with it, the 28-300 is made for FX.

Wilkinsons, excellent value

The easiest way is go to 'Myshuttercount.com' and upload a photo. It can be a Jpeg, Raw or Tiff and it will give you your shutter count.

My first main memories are standing with my Dad at the 1976 Tour de France passing through Lacanau near Bordeaux. He was taking photo's on his Minolta rangefinder using slide film. It was nearly 40 deg C and as the race passed we all ran and jumped in the lake to cool down. The race then...

Very good

If anyone is interested in war photography todays Guardian has an excellent article called 'The life of a war photographer'.

Great shots, takes me back.

Ip 4600, great quality for the price plus very cheap third party inks.
