    Beginner Anyone using a Sigma 105mm Macro Lens on a Nikon D7100?

    I've never used Nikon but I've used that lens on a 30D, 60D and 5Dmk3. It's a very nice lens which my dad now uses. A friend of mine has either a 5200 or 7100 and that lens too, although I haven't seen him upload any photos yet!

    Drones

    Not really. DJI UAVs have HD and now 4k cameras. You can use your iPhone as a live FPV, as I do with mine. They have a huge range too, and further if you use boosters.

    Drones

    http://www.riot.ch/legal-information-about-flying-multicopter-drones-commercial/ I found this. I haven't had a chance to read it yet, but thought someone may have use of it. Now back to trying to sleep!

    Drones

    I saw this the other day. The first thing that stood out about those photos is that with the exception of three of them, they all break the laws about being over groups of people or within certain distances of buildings! Here's me worrying all the time, I'll get a knock on the door if a photo I...

    Portable hard drives

    Yeah, I normally have two backups as well as the original file. Sods law that I moved the folder to the other drive when I did. I was having a couple of problems with a BSOD due to a driver and thought I'd move them over as I wasn't sure it was the internal HDD failing. I'm going to try taking...

    Portable hard drives

    I'm looking for a new one. I've had a seagate one for a few years. Rock solid stable, then last week, I moved all my photos and files to it while I cleared out my storage drive and the damn thing died, wiping out everything. Gutted :( I've got no luck with this sort of thing! I'm wondering...

    If you had £300 to spend on photography, what would you do?

    I'd buy more batteries, as it's occurred to me this week that I gave my spares to my dad, so if I have a problem, I'm knackered!

    Dronestagram

    Yeah, the still images are better, but the video isn't that different so I thought it'd just be a better idea really, with less faffing about. Hopefully I'll get it during the week and will have a go with it at the weekend if I'm not working overtime.

    Yeah, I've just bought a little HD cam thing for videoing RC cars internally, but I'm not sure it'd work with them. When I took into account the extra £266 for a go pro, it just made more sense to go for the vision+ for me :)

    Canon Lens firmware updates with 6D?

    If you download the latest firmware from the Canon site, it tells you how to install it. It's really straight forward, so you shouldn't have any problems. Just unzip the file, place in the route directory on the memory card, upgrade firmware and off it goes (read the instructions on the site to...

    Why hide EXIF info?

    I know for a fact that some people do this so they can look like a better photographer. There are a lot of people out there that have been given/bought decent gear and have no idea, so just take photos in auto mode, but want people to think they are good. Also there are those that don't...

    Beginner The more I read .....

    Don't let it stress you out by reading too much. It used to really get me down when I tried to learn as much as possible, as quick as possible. The best way I found was just taking photos and when they're not what you wanted, look to see what you did wrong and try again. Patience is definitely...

    RC fans?

    A few months ago I decided to get the RC cars from Tamiya that I lusted after when I was very active in the RC scene in the early 80s. Back then I was just 13 so could only afford the Grasshopper. I wanted the Hornet, and to hop up the Grasshopper to that, but I ended up taking the motor from my...

    I've ordered a Phantom 2 Vision+ this afternoon. My gig photography is extremely quiet at the moment, with various political nonsense going on with various organisations things have come grinding to a halt. With that in mind I thought I'd expand my knowledge in other areas, and try a bit of...
