Cropston Resevoir, i thought id pay a visit last evening whilst the sun was setting. First one is a long exposure with a ND8 filter. in hindsight i probably should have closed it down to a f16 so get slighly longer shutter speed. the second is HDR, i know most people dont like it, but...

Thank you. Yes you are absolutley right. I left the house during beautiful light and by the time i got there i had the worst overcast ever. Hoping for clear skies tomorrow as im braving going out before sunrise to beacon hill to get some nice views

Hi people Trying to get back into photography as i really do love it. Left it 8 years ago as life got me busy, very rusty and need to do a lot of learning especially in post process but after all these days, loved every minute of todays adventure. Any comments to help me approve are very welcome

Now the proud owner of a d850 since sunday and been playing around with it in the house. Hoping to get out next week as ill be off work for easter Came from crop frame d7000. Oh my word, firstly, the focusing is insane. Never have i experience sharp photos like this. Was playing around with...

thanks all, I have come to the conclusion that im just being wayyyyy to picky by pixel peeping. as I said earlier I don't normally take photos of people that often, I tend to do more landscapes etc. people will normally be family pictures on any special events at home. these were taken at f1.8...

I previously used a caveman way of laying a ruler on a table. I have downloaded a calibration chart to redo the procedure tonight when i get home

it does indeed, it is set to -19 as it was back focusing when I tested using the caveman method of a ruler on a table and focusing on a number. sorry, my apologies, here is the full rez image, I didn't want to post the full size as you get into trouble in some forums.

I have had my D7000 for coming up to 3 weeks now, I seem to be completely obsessed with my 35mm prime not being tack sharp like it was on my d3100, I may be imagining this but I seem to be pixel peeping which I never used to before, likely only because I had to micro adjust to -19. im still...

Just an update. Had the d7000 for 2 days now. Well omg... the AF speed alone was worth the upgrade. Feels so good to hold with my large hands and the shutter sound makes it feel so premium Did have backfocus problem, used a simple measuring tape on a table. Kept focusing 1cm too far on the...

It is, from a friend who has gone pro, opened his own company and upgraded to a d850.

Thanks guys. Fine tuning puts me at ease In terms of price. £220, verified 9867 shutter count. Original box and all accessories.
