beginner

Hi there, I will be going on holiday in Tromso on Monday and I have Nikon D5300. I am still learning how to take photos properly. I wanted to ask for some advices about settings for best results to capture the northern lights. The temperature will be probably -5 degrees not more than -10...

Hi everyone I'm a complete photography novice. I have no clue about anything when it comes to purchasing cameras so any advice you can give me would be fantastic! I'm looking for a bridge camera for my husband's birthday present. He has taken snaps on his iPhone for years and really enjoys...

Hi as seen by my username, I'm new to photography. I have been experimenting with macro, landscape, usual stuff and wanted to have a go with the night sky. However I'm not sure what settings to go for? I have tried full aperture and iso at 3200 is that too low? Or do you just need a better...

I'm thinking of getting DXO because I can't afford the £8 you pay for Light room once a month, I heard you pay yearly with DXO and only pay for the fancy add on's if you want them. But what it comes with should be just enought for me. Has anyone used this software please?

Hi! this is my first post here so I hope it's in the right area! Even if just for myself to be able to look back on without having to sift through folders etc I'd like to start an online portfolio and just wondered if anyone here could point me in the right direction on how best to go about...

Hi guys, I wanted to ask you about what camera to choose. I want a camera, I don't care about shooting videos and all that jazz. I would like to print out the pictures in A3 format. I kinda don't want to spend too much time playing in lightroom or whatever 3rd party program. I want to spend...

Where do photographers get their prints? Who do they use? What do you use for a 'stage' or 'studio'?

Hey guys, I'm a real beginner here. I know absolutely nothing about photography, or the way my camera works. I want to be good enough to set up a business doing family photography, but where do I start?! I have a Canon EOS 100D that is sitting on my coffee table. I've thought about jacking...

It was quite poor light, but I am reasonably happy with these for a first attempt at any real sort of wildlife photography. Noticed one is ringed too. Hope you like. Comments good/bad are always welcome :)

Taken today at the zoo. Hope you like. Comments good/bad always welcome :)

Hi all, Just going through a few shots from last years MotoGP event from Silverstone and I'd love to hear your opinions of this image of Jorge Navarro from the Moto 3 Jorge Navarro - Honda NSF250RW by Jonny Henchman, on Flickr Now I'd like to ask you to formulate your opinions of the image...

I've neer tried this, I've always wanted to try it so I thought I'd dedicate today to giving it a whirl. It was soooo messy haha but it was so much fun to try something new. I'm really not sure about the lighting I can't decide if I love it or hate it but I've neglected practising with my off...

It's been quite a long time since I've been on this forum as I took a break to really think about what I want with photography and I've just been having so much fun just going out and about with my camera. I recently visited Liverpool and I really wanted to visit the docks and I have alot of...

Hi all - First post. I'd really appreciate some advice on my situation before purchasing some new equipment. I want to make some images of interiors of houses to improve my portfolio and approach interior designers. I try to use natural light as much as possible and plan where it will fall...

Hi All, I've just bought a Nikon D3300 and apart from the standard kit lens that came with it, I have no accessories. What are people's thoughts on first pieces of kit to invest in? A tripod? a filter? Some good image editing software? I imagine it will depend on what I'll be primarily...

I was wondering what benefits there would be in upgrading to Lightroom from Photoshop Elements for a relative beginner with raw processing? So far I've I've been thinking along the lines of 'if I don't know I'm missing it, I don't need it'. I've more or less got to grips with the basics of...
