Got my grip free when I bought the D700 from Nikon. Great with the extra battery life with two effectivel in it but no extra fraems per second unless I buy a different battery with a different charger. Seems odd way to do it. I`ve just kept to the Ele3s I used with my D80 and that came with the...

Lovely set of captures

To be fair neither of the lenses you had available made it any easier for you. It`s the sort of shot where a dedicated macro comes into it`s own. You have to keep the shutter speed up and be around them a while to anticipate movement and get used to what they do for best chance of success.

Been looking for a good print shop -will have to give them a go. Thanks

I did some shots for my ex boss and he wanted the Venture style white backgrounds with lots of colours. Not so easy to do when you are on the cheap with cotton sheets - thank god for NX2 control points. Wouldn`t mind but having said lots of colour they wore shades of grey and brown despite some...

Lovely shots - especially first 2.

2nd ones better dof wise but I really struggle to see any interest in shots of a bench I am afraid. Black and white conversion fine - but adds little really as it lacks real subject. If there were textures / carvings or somethign but on it`s own it does nothing for me - sorry. Re:black n white...

Deffo out of focus to me too. I find I have to keep shutter speed right up and even use a bit of balance flash sometimes

I bet he`d find it hard to sue as there`s probably something on the ticket saying no photography or certainly no professional type gear

I was thinking the same - just don`t like the nagles onthe ones in between

Great shot and colour. They`ll be delighted

On what basis do you judge it to be a "public place" - being a lace where the public go without admission / entry conditions does not make it legal for photography. What matters is whether there is a public right of way through that shopping area. A cheque on pillars etc at start of shopping...
