Not a clue what Im doing so any feedback welcome :P

Was yours the none macro none hsm?

Im not really bothered about loosing the extra zoom as I always find myself at the widest end 99% of the time. And I also find the 105 isnt really long enough to take any detailed shots of birds etc so i will invest in a decent zoom when I get the spare cash. Think I'l take your word for it...

Used a++ condition. The question really should have been 'will it perform as well as my kit lens' As apart from low light situations i never had an issue with the 18-105

Bit skint at the minute, just spotted it for a steal and thought it was too good to be true. Was going to stick a few quid on top of my kit lens for it.

Hi all, Just upgraded to a D7000 and looking to swap my 18-105 kit lens for something a bit faster. I have my 35mm 1.8 which I love but I could do with something a bit wider and a decent range for a walkabout lens. Iv been looking at the Sigma 18-50mm f/2.8 EX DC at £119 which looks a bargain...

Keeping hold of my beloved D300 for a month before I make my mind up hopefully sell it on with kit lens and buy a nice walk about lens

Im tempted by the d7000 ya know.. Just wondering as I only make use of the af on the d300 a couple of times a month if I would benefit from the newer/cheaper tech and I would have a bit left over for a better quality lens Is the af on the d7000 really that bad

Never even thought of full frame, il head off and do some research cheers

Iv kind of fell out of love with my D300. Mainly due to the crap low light capabilities/noise. Although I do love the build! Before I bought my D300 I was torn between it and a D90 and thinking back I should have gone with the latter. Im looking at the old 'd300 vs '"""" ' threads and can't...

Thanks both if you, First time iv managed to get a nice response to my editing skills haha

Got my new Macbook pro last week and got Lightroom 5 too so been playing around. Been trying to copy an effect seen in a few dog sport magazines. Like a subtle HDR.

Thanks for your input! Below is the original to one of the above. Im trying to make the photo 'pop' a little more, commonly seen with HDR images I come across. Any advice for a more subtle but effective way instead of using the HDR toning in cs5? Thanks for your help!

Took a few pictures of my mates dogs at training and trying the HDR look. Anyone feedback would be great. Used the HDR toning and shadow highlight. Mostly interested in feedback on post editing not really composition etc. Thanks

My D300 arrived today from 'Tonyfish' as I decided to upgrade from my D200. Only had a few hours with it today but its awesome :D Had a quick play with one of the test shots Wentworth House by Nicky Sykes, on Flickr
