Watched a few videos recently about setting up a feeding station in the garden with perches at the sides. First attempts today and worked quite well I think. Been dismal as hell up here the last few weeks so had to bump the ISO up quite a bit and then try and remove some of the graininess in...

Sunset round my way tonight. Kinda nice. Took with the phone while waiting for my new Nikon D810 to arrive in the mail.

I'm guessing that means read the fkn manual? Yeah right. Like that's ever gonna happen Have you seen the manual for the D810? I've seen skinnier bibles.

Still learning the ropes, and just received my latest body upgrade, a cheeky Nikon D810 earlier this evening. Was all excited about the unboxing to the extent I insisted my wife and thirteen year old son witness the glorious occasion. Woe was me to promptly discover the viewfinder appeared to...

Thanks Phil. Can I ask why though? Do remote triggers just work better than the in built remote function?

Hey folks. Looking to add a wee flash unit to my setup and am looking for recommendations for something that will work as an off camera flash compatible with the D810's commander mode.

Thanks Mex. These were taken with a Nikon D600 using the kit 18-55 mm lens and extender tubes. Yeah, thought the same about the focus on the hazelnut.

My first experiment with this style the other day. Just followed a Youtube video for settings etc, but still feeling my way into it, not really sure what I'm doing. The watch one seems to work best but I'm not entirely sure if it's the subject, the monochrome, composition or what that makes it...

Hi folks. New top the forum and just wanted top say howdy. Got myself a used Nikon D3200 during lockdown to stave off the cabin fever and after taking a few very average pics and finding all the buttons completely baffling, promptly shelved it! Now getting back into the groove and slowly...
