2012 Images finished

I have now just finished processing the last of my images from 2012. This is a vast improvement from last year, when I finished my 2011 images in December of 2012. The reason for this tardiness on my part is the amount of time that doing my photography degree with the OCA takes. During 2012 … Continue reading 2012 Images finished →

Battery Grip: continued

Well, I realised after I went out shooting with the d800 last weekend that I really do prefer to have a vertical grip on my cameras.

So I was very retiscent to order another Nikon grip. … Continue reading Battery Grip: continued →

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 →

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 →
