I was having a look through some wedding photographers web sites the other day and I noticed how just how nice the skin tones were in a lot of the photos. Some of the photo were taken in contrasting lighting conditions - I mean on sunny days and in some photos in particular the bride and groom were in a shady spot but I noticed how well exposed the photo was and the skin tones looked spot on, and

The Canon PowerShot A720 IS is powered by 2 AA size batteries. You can use standard alkaline batteries, rechargeable NiMH rechargeable batteries (the higher the mAh the longer the batteries should last) or you could use AA Lithium batteries which are good for use in colder weather. To save battery power you can switch off the 2.5" LCD display and use the viewfinder to focus your shots.

I found myself, once again, in a dark hall taking some pictures with my Nikon D40x. I knew I was going to find myself in the situation, taking pictures of a fiends wedding cake it a dark hall, so before I left the house I packed a stand fitted with a flash head attachment and my trusty old Nikon SB-26 Speedlite. I was going to take my even older Metz Megablitz 45CT4 but I could not find my flash

Hi all,I was using my Nikon D40x to take some pictures of a happy couple cutting a wedding cake. The wedding reception was taken place in a poorly lit club.As the man with a camera I was faced with the decision whether to use the camera on auto, or program, whether to crank up the ISO or not an whether to use the pop-up flash or the SB400.Firstly my instincts told me to use the SB400 as it's

My daughter was having a bad hair day. This image was taking using the Nikon D40x and the SB400 for fill-in flash. No flash compensation was used for this shot. With other shots I took I dialed down the flash. I found if I reduce the flash by 1/3 of a stop it's not so overpowering/harsh.The flash compensation can be done via the menus or by pressing the flash button, the compensation button and

Thanks for asking for some pictures from my Nikon D40x. As of yet I have only taken some snaps and playing around with the settings. I will be taking it out for a spin soon around Snodonia shortly. I just hope the weather holds out.I bought a SB400 flash just to add a bit more punch if I needed it, or to use the bounce. When indoors, the bounce from the SB400 is very nice especially when mixed

Well I've finally took the plunge and bought myself a Nikon D40x! Yes! So far, I'm very happy with the pictures. My main concern, as you may have read in the previous posts was the lack of a flash pc socket, but Nikon have an adaptor to fit on the hot-shoe for this. I successfully bid on one on eBay. I will also be fitting my new camera with a SanDisk Extreme III 2GB SD card so I won't have to

My friend just bought himself a new Canon EOS 5D digital SLR and I've just had a shot of it. He has fitted an optional battery grip, BG-E4, and it's quite a handful. My hands aren't all that big so I found it a bit too much to get to grips with. Weight wise, it was not too bad though. This is his first DSLR and he hasn't got use to using it yet. In fact, he finds it quite confusing. He already

The time is getting closer for me not to bite the bullet and actually buy a digital SLR. I like the Nikon cameras, and I suppose I'm a bit loyal too as I am the proud owner of a Nikon F90x, which I bought many moons ago and it has served me very well.I don't take a many pictures as I use to these days (but that may change when I get my hands on a DSLR), so I can't see the point in me opting for a

I haven't added any exciting or useful digital camera info in the blog lately. This is because I have been working hard on several other websites.

It meets my like, such as my insistence that the flash sync should be no less the 1/500sec which gives you more of an aperture choice, and amazingly rear curtain sync - vital for a more natural

Hi photographers. I was approached the other day by an acquaintance who had just bought himself a new Fujifilm FinePix S5600 digital camera. (Why do some people think that when they have a problem grasping how something works they should give that thing, plus the manual to someone else to read for them? Shouldn't they sit down and study their new thing themselves?) Anyway, it gave me the

Nikon D80 Review: 1. Introduction: Digital Photography Review This is a very good review and rundown of the D80 features and spec with a side-by-side comparison of the larger Nikon D70.  It's more compact than the D70 and packs a more powerful built-in flash. The let-down for me is the shutter type and speeds along with the slower flash sync. Click on the link above to read the full review.
