Hi all. Been at it with the baby pics again. This time a mate's second daughter Freya. She's was as good as gold and adorable so I hope it comes across in these. Just need to have more mates having more kids! Any crit most welcome. I was going for high key so may have overdone it in places...

lol. cheers guys, I do tend to be my own harshest critic, but from what I'm learning on here I would image someone will point me to something I've missed ;)

Whoops! How's that? :)

Hi all. Been getting to grips with the new D300. I've been doing a bit of high key type baby stuff recently so for a bit of a change of pase thought I'd go to the other extreme. This is my g/fs gran. I've been on the strobist blog and thought I'd have a play with hard light and a gaffer...

Thanks very much all. I'm going to order a cable off amazon. It came as a huge shock to me that maplin didn't have one! I've read this somewhere else and it does sound like the simplest solution so I think you might be onto something, cheers! Absolutely fair enough :)

I'm no expert in Lightroom or anything, but work in IT and have to do a lot of general troubleshooting. I'll put my 2p worth and pretend I'm at work now (I'm on holiday this week) :) The above quote about it being fine in a browser is key for me here. If it's fine in a browser viewed at the...

My idea of an award is someone using one of my pics as their Facebook profile ;-) If I could produce images like this one of yours I'd be spending too much time being so smug that I wouldn't care what anyone else thought!

Hiya, not sure if this will fit your requirements but I've used 000webhosting in the past. Its free and pretty well featured (php, mysql reasonable amount of space, bandwidth and uptime). You could install WordPress and a image gallery theme on there, or use something like jalbum, but I'm not...

Hi all. I suppose this question doesn't need to be specific to my setup but has anyone had any experience using an android tablet (eg nexus) to display the preview from images on a Nikon (eg d300). I think its doable with a micro to mini USB cable and an app like remote you cam, but was...

I've done it! Got an absolute minter with <10k clicks boxed with all accessories and an mc30. Local so I got to have a play first for £500. Getting a nose bleed trying to get my head round it but am really excited by the quality it seems capable of. Feels like brick too especially with the 85mm...

Thanks guys, I think 3 is my fav too, but can definitely appreciate what you mean re the lack of interaction. I must admit to doing the selective saturation while wincing but I suppose there's a reason clichés are clichés. Thanks again, just need more mates to get married now :-)

Hi all! Went to a mate of mine's wedding on Saturday and got a few pictures. I will point out that I was there as a guest and have no allusions about being a wedding photographer, but always like to get feedback from you good people :) I'll get a few more excuses out of the way by saying that...

In a happy coincidence I've just realised I've now been given access to the classifieds. I've had a quick look and there are some exactly as you've described. I've calmed down a bit now so am just going to bide my time. Thanks to all your guys help I now definitely know what I want! D300 it is :)

This is lovely, great colours! Can I ask what the purpose of doing it as a long exposure was though? It doesn't look like there would have been much movement in the water, was it to smooth out the clouds? I'm not criticising, just wanting to understand if the same result could have been achieved...

Hiya, I like the pose and the backdrop makes me think of him having to do lines on a blackboard at school lol. The shadows on the side of the face work for me, possibly cos it reflects the black and skin tats (don't know if that was the intention) but it's a little under exposed overall for me...
