Fed up of your eye piece coming loose? Gaffer tape it. ;)

Continuing the theme of tarting down my cameras, here's a pic of my new strap. Genuine, old school, Nikon AN-4B.:)

Don't be a hypocrite. At least I don't keep hold of a faulty camera and don't realise it for over a year. Good skills :rolleyes:

Lol fair point [emoji3]
 
Took a trip to Bath this afternoon with a view to testing out the camera.

In reality, Joseph needed feeding when we arrived which meant we spent 1.5hrs in Starbucks, but I dragged them both in to the Abbey for a couple of snaps.

She'll kill me for posting this (because the focus is off, obviously)...but she won't find out :D

Lovely shots Steve. 24-85 VR I am guessing.

Thanks - yep, 24-85.

I've noticed a lot of yours are shot with this lens, so that fills me with confidence that the lens is definitely a good 'un, as you produce some fantastic images with it :D

Went to Bath today, with the intention of making the most of the camera.

Terrible, nasty, out of focus rubbish... I would send that camera back!

:LOL:

I see you've not changed your signature, in hope that I end up sending it back. ;)

Joking aside, it's weird. I mean, the D7200 was good, but there's something about the images this camera produces which I can't quite put my finger on - and I'm sure I'm not even doing it justice, but it's great. And I feel bad for loving it when I see you longing for your camera back. :)

It's ok, will probably buy a replacement by the end of the week as I'm shifting all sorts of crap on ebay at the moment lol!
 
Weird question, but with the very cold weather I've found that the viewfinder steams when I'm looking through it, obviously from my body heat. Anyone found a way to prevent this? (Other than not shooting in the cold :p)

Buy a Fuji with an EVF just in case ;)

Dayum, you must have a really warm eye ball ;)
I think there`s stuff for motor cycle visors that might work. Or a tiny bit of detergent, but that might give you that OOF Canon look :D

I'm just hot stuff, what can I say :lol:

Just occurred to me that maybe it's because I have that modified eyepiece and it traps the heat as it 'forms a seal', might try with the original and see how I get on.

Ahh that`s probably it, mate. I`ve never had it happen with the stock eye piece.

Great set of images Steve, with some really nice detail and exposure, and a great mono portrait.(y)

I mean, do they not have standards?

Actually Sir, it kinda works pretty good for me. I suppose that means I too don't have any standards.:D:D(y)

Thank you, George! :)

Is anyone else having issues with clicking on the images hosted on Flickr? Keeps throwing up connection issues (err_connection_refused) ... :confused:

Those are brilliant I've had them on both D7*** and D8** series bodies and so nice to use and once on are locked in tight!

But doesn`t that cause a bit of an issue when you want to use the flippy screen, or do they bend out of the way?

So, today saw the sun shining! Decided to make a late trip over to a part of the Peak District I haven't shot before. Went in search of a particular place but got a bit lost and ended up looking at it from the other side of a hill and across a waterfall rather being at it. Nevermind, gives me another reason to go back! :D The weather was good but typically as i got there the clouds rolled in. I think perhaps this was a good thing looking back at a few of my shots.

Who knew Oldham could be so beautiful, eh?

Do you stack you images for focus and exposure David or all single exposure shots? I'm off to Scotland in April and as much as I love wildlife I missed on last year by hardly taking any landscape and need to make sure I take some this April

I never had floppy screen so cannot comment sorry but know they rotate and rubber very soft so folds inwards on itself too

I must admit, I don`t use mine often. But they`re handy for macro and low stuff.

It's something I wanted them to release on D7200 and D810 but made in onto neither of them :( before I had DSLR's always used it on the bridge cameras for low lovel and macro work think they really useful additions to a camera

This is the first time I`ve had one. Going from a D40 > D300 > D700 > D750 The 8** series file size was too large, and would have cost me a new PC on top, so this was, and is the perfect compromise IMO :D
