I have started attempts to use flash and got myself an SB-700 which I am working with on and off camera. The flash comes with a basic diffuser, Green filter and Orange filter but feel if I get more in to portraits I want to get more in to creative lighting. I know in the end I will need 2 or...

I’m on a training course soon and taking my Ultrabook with me for, so looking for some games which are obviously not processor heavy due to its specs. Maybe some sort of FPS if possible or role playing games, anything I can just jump in to at any point (anything along the lines of...

Anyone got a link to windows 7 pro 64bit ISO download? Bit dubious about torrents. I'm sure my digital life had them but can't find them anywhere!

I have a Samsung 500gb HHD installed and want to swap this for a SSD. Laptop has no DVD drive.Laptop has windows 8 installed. No documents or apps or programmes have been added.Any easy way to do this?Or should I ditch 8 and go for 7? This is a non touch screen laptop. If that's the best option...

My old 14" Sony Vaio has finally died. No ide how old it is, but was before the time of HDMI and widescreens lol. After something compact with a nice keyboard and trackpad. It will not be for gaming. Main uses: Internet Photoshop/Bridge etc. See this one in the sale at Tesco...

So I need to replace by black rapid asnthe clip and buckled. Looking at alternatives and was wondering what other people use bar the original neck strap. The new joby sling looks interesting, bit like the BR but with a quick adjust strap. The luma land cinch looks very interesting and...

Made a round trip to Scotland over the weekend to take some snaps of the Christening. Was a chance to get some practice in too as majority of my photography has been horses!

Not everyone's kind of subject matter, but here are some of my recent favorites. All taken with my D600 & Tamron 28-75 & 70-300 VR. Was so surprised how well the 70-300 VR performs on the D600. So starting with one of my favorites taken with the Tamron. The light just made this photo stand...

New Z1 compact looks very impressive on paper. Unlike other mini versions from Htc etc this packs a punch. Specs do not differ much from its bigger brother. Waterproof of too with single piece build. No no idea how Sonys android skin works as never used a moden day sony phone. Price is...

Anybody recommend any clear or front cases that will show the color of the C whilst protecting back and all sides (so notging like the feather). Misses needs one for when out and about and wondering if anyone of them are anygood and fit well. Was looking at one from spec, but any user views...

My old Vaio thing is dying a slow and painful death so needs replacing. I'm not really up to speed on whats utter garbage or decent enough for what I want. Basically need something fairly portable that can run Adobe photoshop/bridge etc and surf the web. Does not need to be fancy, can be a...

I got to see one of these playing when I was in London yesterday. It was quite simply amazing! Quality was beyond anything I could imagine. Looked like you could just step right in to the picture. A snip at £35,000. http://www.homecinemachoice.com/news/article/samsung-ue85s9-review/16514

I have not taken a lot of indoor equestrian stuff before. It's really quite a challenge compared to outdoor stuff due to the lighting etc. Anyway, I had a crack! These were based from the stands, and please bear in mind they were all taken at pretty much the lenses weak point, fully...

Sometimes rather than copyrighting the whole image, I sometimes just want to put a small logo/text in corner which will be my website name. Will so many fonts out there, what would everyone recommend? Want modern, crisp readable font. Thanks!

Hopefully released early next year. Looks to be more powerful than the Xbox and PS4, but at the same price point. Could be an interesting alternative http://www.theregister.co.uk/2013/11/26/ibuypower_steam_console_coming_2014/

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/300997798813?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649 £390 seems cheap for a brand new simfree 5C, am i missing something from the listing? Same price as most iphone 5 replacement handsets from Apple.

Will the arrival of the D610, the D600 has dropped to just over £1000. For a FX camera this is such a good price! Yes, yiu nay encounter oil issues, and if this is the case you can send it in under Nikon warranty - and I believe now, they replace the whole shutter unit (probably one from the...

Was looking at a constant aperture lens on a small budget and this one is within that budget! Anyone used one? It it will be a direct replacement for the 24-85 VR kit lens. I know I will lose VR but with the f2.8 make up for that? iIts for general walk about and portraits and maybe a wedding.

Anyone got one? Had a brief play in the shop but didn't have enough time to drove too deep. Well it's not really 'mini' but it's surprising how much smaller it feels in the hand than the non mini version. Build quality was superb, even with the plastic rim, want to see what the black version...

Branded photo paper is quite expensive so was looking online at paper from other companies. Anyone used alternative brands as below with fairly decent results? Not looking for wedding album quality - just nice clean prints. To me this one looks pretty decent price...

I am selling more and more photos and at present I just pop down to boots and get them printed. It's now getting to the point where I will consider doing them at home. Its no good using online as I print them of in small batches or maybe even 1 at a time so postage costs will add up. Wanted to...

I need a copy of windows 7 64bit and see that there are loads on eBay for around £40 which say dell editions. Will this work on any laptop and will there be any dell specific stuff installed?

Looking for SSD - probably around 128GB for my laptop. It's primary use will be the usual internet use and adobe creative suite. Not a gaming PC in any way. Looking online, there are load to choose from starting at £40 and going up to £100+ Ideally looking for under £100. Any recomendations...

Another trip to Longleat and a few more pics. Weather was lovely, only trouble is, on the Safari the reflections played havoc with the photos. Pesky birds were not easy to photograph either, and I have decided they are by far one of the most difficult things to capture - especially as they...

I have been on Talk Photography for a number of years now, and I would say 50% of FF users describe pictures produced from FF 'magical' and on another level from crop sensors. Out of interest, what is the true benefit of full frame? I understand that at high ISO levels, any FF camera will...

Anyone looking for some new games: All on demand for £8.99 each Assassin Creed 3 saints row the 3rd far cry 3 Max Payne 3 Borderlands 2 think they are doing different games each day.

So apart from a few shots of the wife on holiday etc, I have never done any portraiture work. Our friend asked me to take a couple of shots of her daughter before she headed off to her prom, as all they had were compacts and camera phones. Here are a few of the ones I took. To be honest, for...

A friend has asked if I can take a few prom pics of her daughter. Hopefully these will be outside in the garden. Any tips for decent portraits? Never delved in to this area much! lenses are 50mm, 16-85 and 70-300 and sb400 flash. Need to get some nice shoulder/face shots and full length...

I have always loved the Golden Eagle. It was such a good experience getting so close to such a beautiful bird. I took about 50+ shots of her... these are just 4 of them.

Still learning my way around the D7100 and playing around with various settings. The below images were taken with the 16-85 & 70-300. Although I think the images could be a tad sharper, the 100% crops do show how much detail the camera picks up, and the head shots were taken when I still had...
