NEWSFLASH:

A new App from Apple/Android called 'subbing' which will automatically take care of problems like this:

"A late afternoon panorama from the rooftop of our Seattle offices, shot in...

Hyena, nr. Hoedspruit, S. Africa  V1 + 300mm f4. It's a combination I rate very highly.

Jim, outstanding image of what I gather (from here at the far end of the Southern hemisphere - 34 degrees S.) is a difficult bird at the best of times...let alone in low light. I do think that you...

Hi David I have the Lowepro Toploader 75 - which I bought to use with my D7000 + 300 f4 or 70-200 f2.8 VR II - and I can't recommend it. With lens hood on, and lens cap off, i.e. ready to shoot,...

You echo my thoughts and experience exactly...it's a point in the day for reflection on where one has been, what one has done, and did the camera and its owner behave according to spec? And what...

Thanks, Craig. I think you're right about simplicity, and certainly about the weight of a DSLR. I haven't carried a "big rig" for about five years now when we travel abroad. But, to use the most...

There's no question in my mind that changing lenses on a "holiday-with-partner" kind of trip gets in the way. That's as opposed to a "photo expedition", where I might spend an hour or more working...

An update for those of you who were kind enough to be interested first time round: The lightweight system worked - but not without a couple of glitches. First, backing up to my 32GB iPad was fine -...

I write this almost with tears in my eyes...the Think Tank Retrospective 20 is a gorgeous bag to examine in the shop, to buy and to use over short distances. I've had it for several months and...

Simple answer is stop flying Ryanair. Friends of mine went from London to Cork last weekend - came back to London fuming, talking of "Ryanair Rage". Don't quite know why, but this was said as if...

Shouldn't the headline read "A little paid-for love for the Nikon 1..." This is a Nikon commercial, paid for by Nikon, just like the one I touted some months back from countryman, Danie van Jaarsveld.

Excellent shots and you're documenting your trip well. I hope to do the same in Paris starting Thursday morning. Your comment which stands out - and which matches my own experience, having had a V1...

Nikon Rumors in a 4-month old post, with lots of "I hear this..." and "The theory says that..." Hands up anyone using a 1 Series camera that has actually had significant moire problems?

Titles/captions need care. Venice storm - no. Venice Moments Before the Vampires Invade - well, perhaps. But even vampires need level horizons. (Don't they?)

Thanks all for the input and suggestions. The trip starts today with four days of business in Johannesburg before we head north. If there's anything of significance to report, I'll post when I get...

Thank you very kindly - the weather forecast for Paris looks diabolical, unless you're into noir...and I'll probably jinx myself even further if I buy a CPL, but it's a great reminder....

Typo - 16GB, not MB! But thanks for noticing and pointing it out.

To Paris in a fortnight, for 10 days. Normally, it would be the D7000 + bag of heavy glass + 17" notebook + back-up drives + tripod, etc., etc. This time - Nikon V1, 10mm, 10-30mm, 30-110mm,...

Suddenly Google's purchase of Nik Software looks like very smart business. Of course, they are also "in the cloud"....

I think these machines come with yellow balance or chocolate balance and not much in between, although I hear that Nose balance can vary. Unlike their plastic and metal counterparts, however, High...
