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
Gob-Smacked
I'm not a great photographer, I don't think I'm a particularly good photographer, (not false modesty I'm afraid, I always think that there is so much more to learn), but I do try hard at my hobby, and I also like to pass what meagre knowledge I have on to other people. I get a … Continue reading Gob-Smacked

Instead users will have to pay a monthly (or yearly) subscription in order to use the programs on the Adobe Creative Cloud. Once downloaded and installed the program will check and authorise the users subscription every … Continue reading Adobe Creative Cloud
Straps and safety
As some of you know I have been using the Black Rapid straps for about 18 months now and I must admit I like them. I purchased my first one in 2011 (my original Blog post is here). However since I bought the D600 and battery pack,I have felt a little bit uneasy about it dangling … Continue reading Straps and safety
Sensor Cleaning
I have a Nikon D600. I love it. A great camera. But it has oil problems. The shutter is depositing oil on the sensor - or rather the AA filter in front of the sensor. I knew that it would probably have this problem when I purchased the camera, so I can't really moan about … Continue reading Sensor Cleaning
