Do you not have mud in Belgium ? ;-) The cyclocross season in Scotland has been one of the best yet - it is one of the fastest growing areas of cycle sport in UK.

I purchased one of those external battery pack for the Nikon SB800 and it doesn't work at all. There is no power even with fresh set of battery in the case and the flash. I have contacted Linkdelight mumerous time without any response and wonder anybody out there having the same similar issue. Any help will be appreciated. Tony

hi thank you for sharing those impressive pictures. a stupid question: is the heat bearable with all that clothes or is it totally horrible? I was just wondering..

I guess it must be perfect! haahhhaha

I stopped the picture download part way through as I haven't got 3 weeks to spare. It looks soft at the edges (no pun intended ;-)) from the part I saw.

What a pity that you don't visit this forum more often and show off some nice stuff. *The boys are great.* Maybe give it a try with some (partial) desaturation on the 2nd one ?

I have encountered the same scenario. I shoot in RAW and the noise on clear bright days seems to always be there with my D300, this was not the case with my D200?

iPhone. :)

If Nikon provides the lenses that Thom mentions I will be a very happy (and poorer) man. The new primes alone would be enough for me and the 100-500 would send many here into ecstasy. Nikon release a couple of DX primes this year and Thom admits he's not plugged into DX at Nikon right now so maybe there is more. He also mentions a new mid-range FX zoom. Maybe it will be the f/4 zoom so many have...

Fletch, I was in a similar situation as you but I had my eye on the 5D II instead, but after reading of all the problems I decided to stay with Nikon. I guess the main issue is if you print large then more MP would suffice but if you only print A4 (8x11) then you won’t see any benefits. The cost of the additional £300.00 to buy the Canon would be the difference to the price of two Nikon lenses...

I don't know of any books but I have learnt heaps off the net and forums like this. Also, it sometimes helps to post your photos on sites where they can be constructively critiqued, as much for the improvement of your photography as what you can learn from what others have posted. I've been doing this for years and it's great for the one on one interaction regarding your own photos. I'm also ...

Chroma noise plus "dirt" as if carbon paper was rubbed over portions of the image; http://a.img-dpreview.com/gallery/nikon_35_1p8_sam ples/originals/dsc_0413_acr.jpg

Keith, I wish Nikon allowed 2 stops bracketing as well, but you can work around it. Shoot 9-bracketed 1.0 EV frames and only keep frame #s 1, 3, 5, 7, and 9 and you'll have 5 frames at 2.0 EV apart.

It looks like it's focused on the little guy's ear, leaving the eyes very soft indeed. Personally, I prefer to use Single Area focus on the closest eye for this kind of shot. And, yes, that's not easy with young, ...
