Am interested in seeing if anyone has used a floating hide in the uk, ie photos of your hide, where one can use them - especially notts/derbys/lincs are.
am in the process of designing/building one out of foam insulation boards and a bit of plywood etc.
Ospreys in cairngorms area
I am planning a trip to the cairngorms/speyside area (staying in Nethybridge) and Ospreys will be one of my target birds (photography), are there any recommended places were they would frequent to fish ?, also may look at the Rothiemurchus estate hides/guided sessions...
Hi
I am toying with the idea of incorporating an airbrush in my art, as a lot of my subjects are from photos I have taken where the background is out of or soft focused. So anyway
What should I look for in a kit - I will be using it in the house, so needs to be quiet(ish)
Also any one suggest...
Hi all
Have recently taken up acrylics and am looking forward to posting my work on here. Would like to ask a question to other acrylic artists here - have been using Galeria pads but been disapointed by the detail I can get - the papers have a 'weave' on them which is difficult to get fine...
Hi all
I have an Epson Stylus Photo 1400 A3 printer and am thinking of going over to refills or a CISS. Anyone have any good recommendations ?.
The Epson cartridges for this printer are hard to find sometimes and of course it would be about £60 for a set, so am looking into either refillables...
Anyone have any recommendations as to brands of acrylics to use, artist quality - reasonably priced. Usually paint watercolor and oils, fancy dipping into acrylics.
Hi al
Can anyone suggest good photogenic spots for wader activity along the Lincolnshire, wash and north Anglia coasts. Preferably quiet with easy access where one can get close enough for good photos of waders, a little like Salthouses where the coastal bank is close to the shore, lying down...
Hi all
Am looking at sourcing and buying a 600mm AF lens (Nikon, not Sigma or 3rd party) and am wondering if anyone has or has had one, any good suggestions as to which ones I should look for, am not at all bothered about having VR on it as I rarely use it on my 300mm F2.8.
Examples of images...
Apart from the added VR options (tripod) and focus memory buttons, is there any optical difference between the Nikon 300mm F2.8 VR and VRII lenses. According to the Nikon site, the optical design and coatings are the same.
HI
Anyone have any experience with using a Nikon 500mm AF-S F4D (either the IF-ED or IF-EDII - Non VR)
ie along the lines of using with the TC14E (which I have), TC17E and TC20E III.
I am thinking on getting this lens as I currently use a Nikon 300mm F4 AF-S and a Nikon 600mm AIS manual focus...
Hello
I am going to be visiting Aviemore area at the end of April 2012. I am interested in photographing the wildlife in the area. Obviously loch Garten is one place I will be going to, to see the osprey.
Another place I would most likely visit is Loch Ruthven. I would like to track down...
I am looking at getting a Nikon fit 300mm zoom with VR, there are 4 options I might be interested in, I want it for a 'walkabout' lens on monopod with possible use with a 1.4 TC.
Nikon 55-300mm f/4.5-5.6G VR AF-S DX NIKKOR
Nikon 70-300mm f4.5-5.6G VR AF-S IF-ED
Sigma 70-300mm F4-5.6 DG OS NAF...
Hi, would just like to ask D7000 users if they have had any focus issues. Since buying mine I have been disapointed that so many shots were soft focused or just plain out. My D90 never gave me these amounts of rejects. I am usually selective what I shoot and my technique has not changed. Am...
Hi all
I plan to go to Gigrin about spring time, I wonder if anyone has been recently and could answer a few questions.
I plan a 2 day (one night) stay, I know on the gigrin site they open about 1pm.
How long does the feeding last, when do you have to be out by.
Which hide should I book for...
I have recently bought a Nikon D7000, have been using it with my SW ED80 setup with dandelion chipped adapters. Shooting just prime the chips give me metering and focus confirmation with 'focus trap' shutter release, same as my D90. Under certain conditions I also get focus trap with a Kenko pro...
Have been looking around the internet for various ways to calibrate lens/camera combos.
Adobe do a free lens profiler tool that is compatable with Photoshop CS5 (unfortunately this no bucks tool needs big bucks software), seems a perfect way to iron out anomalies of each lens - TC combo with...
Here is my first attempt at converting a DOI HQ7 2x TC.
The lens cell is superglued into a bayonet end ext tube for Nikon AF, The bayonet also has the EMF chip glued on - later I can programme it for the focal length and equivelant F Stop. Note also the doi came with a neat little hard case...
I wonder how easy it would be to build your own scope. The design does seem quite simple, a tube, the objective glass and the focuser. 2 of these components can be bought 'off the shelf' as it were (optics, focuser)
Or perhaps if you could have some extension on the ED80's tube, as I feel there...
Can anyone explain how micro transsmissions work, not fully understanding the 1:10 ratio s quoted ie on one of these

I am thinking of doing some mods to reduce weight and a new paint job on my Skywatcher..
I tried to pull off the lens hood but it would not come off, but did seem to unscrew, so I inscrewed it and found I had taken off not only the hood but the front lens as well, then I noticed a weird 'gassy'...
