hey! this thread seems to have dried up. We now have a group on Facebook that I think you just joined? If not I can point you in the direction of it :)

Selling one of my D750 bodies if anyone is interested.... https://www.talkphotography.co.uk/threads/for-sale-nikon-d750.687639/ Going to keep my other D750 as a backup and get a D850. Was nearly swayed to go Sony but going to resist :)

okay cool, thanks. Well it will be a new shutter with no photos having been taken on it lol

hey guys. Couple of quick questions hoping I can get some opinions on. I currently have two D750's and shoot real estate, portrait and commercial work mostly. I am thinking of changing one of them for the D850. Has anyone else made that change? How'd you find it? Also what would you say is a...

After following this part of the forum for a long time I finally got a macro lens. The Nikon 105mm f2.8. I immediately went out in the garden with no clue what I was doing and took some shots! DSC_3019 by Sammy Donaldson, on Flickr DSC_3017 by Sammy Donaldson, on Flickr DSC_2913 by Sammy...

Incredible shots! I have just got my first macro lens and these are the shots that inspired me to try it. What lens do you use?

Thanks for taking the time to share. Can I ask what methods you used for the retouching? I wasn’t sure how far I should take that so left it to the minimum.

thanks for the reply. So would you say the right side of the face is too dark and the reflector is needed closer to light it better? I guess they are not technically headshots haha. I was given a brief to keep them quite wide with plenty empty space around them for their web designer to work...

I am getting asked more and more to do headshots for the companies that I photograph houses for and starting to quite enjoy doing them! This week I did 5 headshots for one of the solicitors and would love some feedback on how I could improve... Web Size-5 by Sammy Donaldson, on Flickr Web...

Morning everyone. I have been saving hard and am now in a position to purchase a new lens that I will use for portrait work and corporate headshots. I have narrowed it down to the Nikon 85mm f1.4 and the 105mm f1.4 but can't decide which one to get! I just wondered if anyone had any...

I mainly shoot real estate photography but have an urge to give portrait work a try. Armed with my 2 x AD200 flashes and the AD-B2 flash head I did a couple of portraits today for a friend who needed a new headshot for his website. Also grabbed a shot with his wee boy... Stable-3 by Sammy...

Hi mate. This thread has kinda gone stale since we set up the Facebook rig group. You can find the group here... https://www.facebook.com/groups/1031850470212387/ I run the group so can approve you. It’s got loads of other rig photographers and plenty of help to get you started. Sammy

Thanks Phil, can you elaborate on your first point? I had plenty of space so not too sure what you mean.
