Thanks All Mainly be shooting stills, portraits but hoping to do a bit more wildlife I’ll have a look on Amazon….

Hi folks Quick question. Can somebody recommend a decent memory card for the Z8? I’ve not bought a memory card in years for the d800 and just wanted people’s experiences with them Ta

Z8 coming this week. First new Nikon I’ve bought since the d800 in 2012 (still have it!) Starting out with that FTZ with existing lenses. Any sigma FTZ users out there? I’ve the 35/85 art and the 150-600 also. Over time I’m sure I’ll get some native z lenses but if people have got any...

Hi good folks I’m still shooting with a D800 I bought almost exactly 11 years ago (bargain 1800 at the time and it’s still going strong) I think the time had come to upgrade. Any real world experiences of the Z8? I think I’d plan to get the ftz converter to use my current lenses and slowly...

Yeah, I used to like drawing little pics and thinking about where I wanted the lights, what modifier to use and what lens/backdrop. This was a quick set up (and quicker pack away) to grab a shot of my nephew before he left our house! I’ve got plenty of older lights and modifiers - I’d like...

We’ve had some work done recently and due to bad weather, they were cutting tiles inside the house. Not setting up until we’ve cleaned up a bit more!

Watching this thread as part of my mission for 2023 is to shoot more and print more Just waiting to set mine up

Great Question I find myself always drawn to portraits (people/pets) but every now and then like to dabble with something different. Just started refreshing my macro (lack of) knowledge so will aim to do some of that again at some stage!

Morning I used to shoot a bit years ago, pics of the kids using the “bedroom wall” Kids grew older, work got busier and long story short, not shot people portraits for a while. Had my nephew come up at Xmas so we took a couple of shots. Quickly done in the front room as it was painted a...

I’m a hobbyist, but 85mm and the 70-200 tend to be my go-to for the dogs. Having an assistant to help with getting the dog at ease really helps

What a great thread and spreadsheet! Just re-engaging with photography. Quickly realising that having physical photos is SO much better. Have treated myself to a printer and am looking forward to getting started

Funnily enough, we are going to a wedding in the next few days and their photographer has let them down…. They’ve asked if I’d step in for a few ceremony shots as a back up in case they can’t get a replacement! Although it’s made me feel the d800 is a bit old for this kind of thing (which I...

Morning Good to be back! I did notice there wasn’t lots of studio style portraiture in the photo section. I hope to do a bit more at some stage and not just the dogs! S

Dogs you say……

Evening all Just trying to start using the camera a bit more after sporadic use over the last couple of years. I kept thinking that I’d like to upgrade my d800, you know with all the new mirrorless/eye focus jazz that’s come out, but kept hold of my D800 as it was still a capable camera (for...
