I have been using my SB-24 flash a lot quite recently, but thought I’d just do a bit of ambient light photography for a change. The camera seems a lot lighter without the flash and I prefer this. A lot more discreet too. Also have gone back to using View NX2 & Capture NX2. Been [...]

After visiting Uphill Sands I went to the Grand Pier with the intention of having a pint of real ale in the bar at the end of the pier. The problem was that the pier is currently undergoing maintenance meaning that there is no beer being served. Nikon D700 @ 1/250s & ISO200, Nikkor 28mm [...]

Went for a walk along the beach at Uphill Sands today. The weather was actually pretty good. This beach seems very popular with dog walkers as it has on beach parking and there was almost a constant parade of dogs in both directions along the beach. There was a rider with 2 horses who came [...]

Been putting my new 28mm f/3.5 AI lens to the test with a few shots locally in Taunton. Quite like the arches here. Getting a better hang of working with this new fully manual lens. Left the shutter speed “locked” at 1/250s and used the aperture ring to shift between f/8, f/11 & f/16 depending [...]

Another shot from my recent visit to Cothelstone Hill. This was certainly a good test for the D700′s weather sealing as the driving snow on the summit meant that the camera was thickly coated in snow! This was taken on the descent and the wind had died down a bit. I was a bit worried [...]

D700 with 28mm f/3.5 AI lens & SB-24 speedlight @ 1/4 power. 1/125s, f/8, iso200 Another shot from my recent trip to Weymouth. I had only purchased my SB-24 flash the day before so I was trying to put it through its paces in Weymouth as there are so many interesting things to photograph there

D700 with 28mm f/3.5 AI lens & SB-910 speedlight @ 1/32 power. 1/30s, f/16, iso200 I will probably be selling my SB-910 flash as I am finding that the SB-24 provides all the features I actually use. This is a good post about the SB-24 http://strobist.blogspot.com/2006/04/steal-this-flash-nikon-sb-24.html I also prefer the older “screw down” locking mechanism [...]

I have customised the background colour from white to 50% grey [...]
