Lightroom procedural workflow

This is a suggested workflow for Lightroom. It is the one I use, but by no means is it the only one you could use. You may have your own or you could come up with one by using the one I am presenting here as a template or starting point. A successful photographic workflow … Continue reading Lightroom procedural workflow →

Not sure about replacing the grip

Well, kudos to Amazon, they reimbursed the cost of the grip within two days. But now I'm not sure if I want to bother with a grip. I've had a look around at third party versions, and I'm not overjoyed about putting £50 - £90 plastic versions on to a £2k camera. I did find … Continue reading Not sure about replacing the grip →

MB-D12 arrived…and went again.

After I had been out with the D800 on Sunday, I realised that I missed the vertical grip that I have on all my other cameras. So, I went on line and searched for the MB-D12 grip for the D800.

D800 has arrived.

I've been fairly busy with degree work (and decorating) over the last few days, so I've not had a chance to blog here. But the D800 arrived last Saturday and on Sunday I went out on a shoot with it. I find it a really great camera in terms of handling and the images are … Continue reading D800 has arrived. →

D600 and a wait for the D800

So, I've part-exchanged my D600 for a D800. Well, technically I haven't. Wex do have my D600 but I've now got to wait for them to verify the email price they gave me for it, before I get my credit. Once I get that I can order the D800 with them. However, they are now … Continue reading D600 and a wait for the D800 →

D600 gone

Today I have completed the first step of part exchanging my Nikon D600 for a Nikon D800. I have been really impressed with the D600. It is a superb camera with great handling and ergonomics and the pictures that come from it are superb. So, why the change? Well, the D800 was always the camera … Continue reading D600 gone →

Flippin’ Flickr

Today Flickr rolled out its 'new-look' picture hosting site. I've got to say. I don't really like it. Perhaps it's just because I've got used to the old one and know where everything is, but this new look does not grab me with its user-friendliness. I seem to be looking all over the screen for … Continue reading Flippin’ Flickr →

DNG Dread

With all the spitting and spite currently being vented upon the devils of Adobe at the moment it's probably only natural that the future of their allegedly open-source file system, DNG (Digital Negative) is now being called into question. DNG has been touted by Adobe as the file system that all the camera manufacturers should … Continue reading DNG Dread →

CC arguments rumble on

Well the vilification of Adobe and their recent Creative Cloud decisions goes on and on. Whatever photography forum you go on seems to have a 'support them or burn them' poll. and the vast majority, at the moment seem all for lynching Adobe. I have already said that I won't be registering for ACC as … Continue reading CC arguments rumble on →
