Just having a look through these monopod threads... My dilemma is do I buy a head, looking the Manfrotto 679. So at least I can buy one after if I need it. The use will be motorsport. Nikon D90, 75-300 the old school one! Found had to use very high shutter speeds just to stop camera shake at...

This thread reminded me of a comment my Dad made last night. I had copied pics from memory card to pc for him. "They should be good, I was standing right next the the photographer" (a wedding he attended last weekend) He then looked shocked to find the indoor shots were underexposed, blurred...

Mine wasn't new, but had the peel off protector on it. Just deciding on lenses, currently using my 18-55 kit lens off my d40. But motor has broken so only m/f. Looking at a few Sigma 24-70 2.8 on ebay, also need a zoom 70-300 sigma/nikon at some point.

Just got a D90 a few days ago, had a d40 before (in the sale section) Only really had a play with it so far, seems good. Functions I want are more at my fingertips than before. Has anyone tried the remote flash function? I've got it to work with my sb-600. Using the on board as the trigger...

I used to live in Accrignton, walked around Oak hill park many times, nice place. I remember the art gallery too.

Oddly enough a 24-70 sigma 2.8 is in the for sale section. It's my mate's wedding in a few weeks, I'm invited to the reception, so good chance to test it out. (Assuming I've got a lens by then) IIRC the pro tog's are only there for the wedding itself, so I won't be getting in anyone's way.

Forgot about that! Never seen many others for sale, so didn't think of that range. Going to borrow my mate's 70-300mm to have a play, at least I can see what it's like in it' intended use.

I went to my mate's wedding a month or so ago. I've got my D40, which as you all know is a 5 year old entry level slr. I got comments like "you have a very impressive camera" "bet it takes good photos" after letting someone have a go "how do i put it on auto" I think the perception is that a...

After owning a D40 for the last four years, decided to upgrade. Got a D90, which I should get early next week. Need to decide what lenses to get (I've got a spare kit lens I can use, but only m/f) I'm thinking of the Sigma 28-70 2.8, or possibly the Tamron 17-50 2.8. Although I'm more often...

I've had all my gear in my rucksack many times, no issues.

Hi I've currently got a D40 and kit lenses. My 18-55 motor has stopped working AGAIN! I bought a 2nd hand one off here, only used it a few times and motor has died. The original one stopped working after a few years use. I'm probably upgrading soon, most likely to d90 17-70 2.8 &...

People can always google your name. Worth an ask about the link though.

Nice shots. How was the learning/sharing photos side of things?

Cool vid.

I got an email from Nikon to do a survey, which I did. Lots of questions were asking about the MP count of your camera, was it enough? Is 25mp enough? I agree with KayJay, one if my best shots this year wasn't sharp, infact it was slightly blurred in places. But it added to the shot and...
