    Samsung Gear 360

    Hello, First post in years! Thought I would treat myself to a basic 360 camera and bought the Samsung Gear 360 second hand. Impressions are okay. I do like the 360 photos and videos but quality isn't great. Does anyone know if I am sharing the videos and content as jpeg and mp4, how the others...

    Why is my image not sharp?

    I was trying out my new D7100 along with my 70-200 f4 Nikon. Some of the shots were great but others didn't come out sharp and in some cases very dissappointingly blurry. Here is an example: shot at 200mm, f4 1/1600s ISO 250, handheld with Normal VR on at full. Focus was on the top of the...

    70 - 200 f4 nikon

    Does anyone own or had anyone tested this lens? I've read good reviews about it and wondering if I should be getting this lens over the sigma or tamron 2.8 lenses for my d7000. Is it much more compact and portable than the other 2.8 lenses? This extra portability is a plus point. The obvious...

    First Wedding

    Great, thanks for the feedback. I didn't think about the compression aspect when uploading them to Zenfolio. I'll bear that in mind.

    First Wedding

    When you mean compressed, are you talking about jpeg compression? All of these were taken in raw, adjusted in lightroom then exported to jpeg at 100% quality. What could have caused the over compression you are observing? Agree with the framing. It was a nice setting which I could have done...

    First Wedding

    Which ones are out of focus? Numbers 3, 7 and 8 were shot wide open. Can you explain what you mean by artefacts everywhere? Can you be specific to which photos? Appreciate your feedback. Anyone else have an opinion?

    First Wedding

    I did my first wedding a couple of weeks ago. Interested in hearing feedback. Nowhere near perfect and a lot to learn from the experience but it's a start. Here is the link to a selection...

    Nikon Walkabout Lens (£500 Budget)

    It's hard not recommend anything other than the 17-55 nikon as a kit lens replacement and an all round lens. The 16-85 is a more versatile focal length but much slower. Having gone for a 2.8 zoom, can't imagine going back to a variable aperture lens. I got my 17-55 on tp for £500. If you're...

    full frame choice

    As per other replies, I would agree and stick with your d3200. As you're only new to photography for a month this is the ideal camera. Learn your camera inside out, invest in a good book instead of a new ff camera, use the net to learn, use this forum. Once you have mastered your camera and are...

    Variable nd filters

    Has anyone got experience of these? I was thinking of getting one instead of multiple nd filters of different strength. I don't use these too often so not wanting to spend a huge amount of money on this.

    D5100 or D3100 deal

    The other option for your budget, if you're not fussed about the 55-200, would be to get the d3100 body and get the 35mm f1.8. Total would be a little over £400 new. Fantastic pairing.

    D5100 or D3100 deal

    Both are excellent cameras. Whichever you buy I'm sure you will be happy with, as a d3100 owner. The question on the lenses depends on what you shoot. If you use the zoom range of your previous camera for the likes of wildlife, then it makes sense to go for the d3100 deal with the zoom lens...
