I don't know. Been reading about a few and looking on ebay for some, and most sellers say they won't auto focus with some of the entry level bodies like the 3100, 5000, 5100 etc

This taken from the review that I linked to in my earlier post ...

"The Nikon AF-S 50mm f1.8G lens features a Silent Wave Motor (SWM) that allows near-silent auto-focusing on all Nikon DSLR cameras."

European Griffon Vulture (Amsterdam zoo).

Went to see McFly at Leeds Academy on Wednesday night, no professional cameras allowed, but hate going to live gigs and not having a record of the event, so I decided to take along my old Minolta Dimage Z2 that I bought off ebay about 7 years ago and haven't used for quite a while. Was up on the balcony at the back, so wasn't holding out too much hope of any decent shots, but I think the Minolta did okay really, especially given the low light conditions

Nice shots as usual Trace, not sure about your taste though

Thank you. Expected the comments, but seen them live four times now and they've put on a fantastic show every time, they play their instruments and do it very well live

great shots Trace, but I think a high velocity rifle would have done the world a good deed.

Thanks Standee, but that is mean, come on humour me, they make an old(ish) woman very happy

so do Valium and chocolate!!!

If an old(er) bloke went to see a teen girl band they'd be called perverts !!!!

My reputation preceeds me, this is the mortonstalker you're talking to!!





I just like music and rugby

Anyway, back on topic, I did B & W conversions on a couple, think they work, give them a more 'rocky' look

anyone know the best place to order decent A3 size prints online?

I haven't used them (yet) myself, but this company come highly recommended ...

Was working over in Crosby for two days so I thought I'd take my camera kit to do some of Anthony Gormley's 'another place', fancied some nice sunsets and morning ones. Pissed down and overcast the whole time, went at 9am today and it was high tide. Hopefully next time.

What a difference a logo can make ...

National Geographic $78 (I paid about £80 3 or 4 years ago - I know: mug!)

[urlhttp://shop.nationalgeographic.com/ngs/product/photography/photography-gear-and-bags/national-geographic-explorer-shoulder-gear-bags[/url

7DayShop £22.49 (different colour, same bag)

[urlhttp://www.7dayshop.com/7dayshop-canvas-photo-messenger-shoulder-bag?backUrl=L3Bob3RvLXZpZGVvLXN1cHBsaWVzL2dhZGdldC1iYWdzLWNhbWVyYS1jYXNlcw==[/url

I watched the 7DayShop video demo; it is EXACTLY the same bag.

Good bag, though.

Thats a bargain, might invest.

I was walking through Liverpool some time back and ventured into a Jessops where they were having a sale on Lowepro bags. I saw one I had been looking at online (listed at £120), but was on offer for £59.99, I began to look at it and the manager said to me 'it's the last one, if you want it I will go to £39.99'

Well, a man can never have too many bag's' to paraphrase the wife

I hope you moved fast; they sold out on the first day.

I'm not overly surprised, they were a real bargain at that price.

A few from London Zoo last weekend:

The "new" Flickr has been around for a couple of days, what do people think?

I like it.

Although, TBH, I've never been a big fan of the way that Flickr "dumps" everything into the so-called Photostream, where it remains even after being sorted into a Set and/or Collection.

The new Flickr continues to do this and I would have liked the option to alter this default.

Missed out, but got a nice canvas rucksack which is ideal for carrying my camera without being as bulky as my Lowepro.
