Thanks everyone, next time i will try to remove the filter to see if that helps.

Lately i have been getting a lot of lens flares while shooting towards the sun. They are spoiling what otherwise are good images. I'm using a nikon d80 with a 18-70 lens and an attached hoya pro1d clear protective filter. Is it the filter that causes them? Is it just an issue with this lens or...

Personally i think the best thing to do is to try taking some HDR images without any filters or without buying any more equipment, and take the time to process them to your liking. Vey good images HDR's can be taken without any filters, with a basic DSLR and kit lens. Try to make the best...

Great set!! Love number 1 and 2

It totally depends on what make and model of t.v. it is. If you could let me know i could give you some more info, but generally speaking, a "smart t.v" is just a television that includes an internet browser. The are not like a computer, laptop or tablet.

nice collection there Jenna!

Are you willing to go for second hand? If so, you could pick up a nikon d90 with a 18-105 for that. Or if your literally just starting out, a nikon d80 with an 18-70 and probably a 50mm f1.8d as well. At least that would give you a zoom with a good range to start with, and a prime with a fast...

For me, Lightroom will do 90% of all the editing i ever need to do, as well as being a great resource for cataloguing my images. It's able to process your RAW files and is relatively easy to use. It can make universal adjustments to your images to make them look their best. If however, you want...

60% Aperture 30% Manual 10% Shutter

This was taken yesterday on a trip to capture the snow capped peak of slieve gullion mountain in south armagh, northern ireland. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated. Thanks everyone

I'm all on for learning to use them manually, i just think that starting off, ttl would be a benefit until i get my head around the manual settings

Is there a lead i can use that goes from the hotshoe to the flash to use it off camera instead of the radio triggers? If so, does anyone know the code or could post a link? I dont like the idea of having to use the onboard flash to trigger the OCF.

Thanks for all the replies guys. It's not purely OCF that i'm after, just that i'd like the option of on or off camera. I think i'll go for the rf-603 triggers and a YN-468ii to start off with, and probably add more 468's if and when i require.

Hi guys, i have a nikon d80 and am now wanting to experiment with a flashgun and have been looking at yongnou. I am totally new to flash and have a few basic questions so please bear with me. I have been looking at the YN468ii, the YN560ii and possibly the YN565. Along with the RF-602 radio...
