Hi there, Does anyone have any experience of very large format printing? I am looking to print an image on high quality fine art paper (if possible) up to 4x2m in size. Does anyone know of a company that offers this size printing? Thanks in advance. Graham

I have a Nikon D7000 and the Nikon 70-200 F2.8 VR lens. This combination has worked well for me for a number of years, but recetnly I am having focusing issues. When the light is overcast, or in low contrast situations, the lens is hunting excessivly and gives up, and cannot focus. It ends up...

Yes, I saw this, but cannot see anything in that post - it is all grey'd out with adverts. I am also looking for alternative suppliers too - not just one

Can anyone recommend (from personal experience) a good commercial printer for canvases above 20x16". I am looking to print some up to 40"x30" but I am struggling to find a good quality printing company. I like to hear about your own good experience. Thank you Graham

Hi, I'm looking for a good travel insurance that will cover my camera & lenses. Most seem to limit my camera gear to 400 or so & classify ALL the gear under a single item limit! Any recommendations or comments from users of better policies? Tx Graham

Looking for good locations on both. Going to visit Hastings East beach this w/e & then along to Winchelsea/Rye/Camber to see what it's like

I am staying with friends in East Sussex and want to get out & about to see the best east Sussex has to offer. If anyone would like to either a) join me for a walk-about or b) suggest places/locations .... would be great. Thanks Graham

OK, it seems the battery was pushed beyond its limit. After 2 hours, taking almost continuously, it gave up and the time reset. I will use a mains connector next time. Thanks for the feedback everyone.

I have a D7000 and am taking some timelapse astro photography sequences. I setup the intervalometer to take a shot with an interval of 5 secs between shots0, 1 shot per interval, and 999 shots in total. The camera is set to Manual and setting of 30secs exposure. In the middle of the night...

Gnirts, thats great, that comparison is what I needed to understand and see. I thought the 10mm would be the same, but as you have clearly shown, its not. Brilliant.

I have a Nikon D7000 and am looking for a new fisheye lens. Many people are suggesting a 10mm, either from Sigma, Nikon or Tokina (10-17) but as I already have a Sigma 10-20mm for landscape work, I don't see any difference. Am I missing something here? I am presuming to get a real fisheye...

Thanks everyone, given me lots to explore and try out. Much appreciated.

Thanks for the advice here, much appreciated. How do you write 'Droplets'? Not familiar with them and how would you go about creating one that does what Im after?

I have many folders that contain my NEF and PSD files, all together. I want to batch process to open up JUST the PSD files and then save elsewhere as a JPEG. How can I open just the PSD files in an action or using Image Processor Pro? Many thanks in advance for your help. Graham

I am looking for some advice on processing infra-red images. I have a converted Nikon D70 which seems to take some pretty good images. I am shooting in RAW. Does anyone have some tips or guidelines to get the best results from post processing either in ACR or in PS CS5? Look forward to...
