  1. Feels like one at times Trenchy, ha ha.. think Im going to borrow a tripod this year..bad back and old war wounds starting to tell
  2. Speak soon matie..not watching them till Baloteli and Sterling go...
  3. People think you can get miles, the knack is still to get as close as possible..but it dose get you closer :-) stick a converter on and you get even more, stick it on a Nikon V1 and you get 1350mm equivilent.. One taken with that lens.
  4. Hi Matie.. long time no see..have you still got that parking permit for me when I come to Anfield..hows your lass keeping
  5. Back to lenses.. try hand holding this baby..
  6. These can make good bedding, ha ha
  7. Would rather have the limitations of a d3 than the limitations of the d300 paddy :-)
  8. Alan and Heidie Charles, not sure of their contact details, but they were running the Scottish deerhound club in Ireland at one point.. Gilbertstown Castle Pollard, Westmeath, Ireland some of his dogs;
  9. Sort of corrrrrrrrrectttttttttt 300mm = 420mm There's a lot to learn matie I still find settings on my camera that I didn't know ex sisters Ha ha
  10. Been involved in breeding stock for many years, but the term "family" isnt one Ive heard of...interesting, very interesting
  11. Read an article ones where someone had sripped a long tailed tits nest and it contained hundreds of feathers, cant exactly remeber the number but it was massive.. go out now and try and find some feathers, see how many you get... Found three ltt nest last year, everyone fell foul to magpies
  12. This thread was originally about lenses, has any nikon users had the Nikon -400mm? This was my main lens a few years back, cracking quality, but a tad slow focussing, but did get some good images on my Fuji s2 pro, d200, d300 and d700
  13. The d300 is a really good camera, and a lot of pros using d3 used it as their second camera, some used it as their first.... Had I not squashed mine I would probably still have it now, as my second camera.. I have friends with d7000 and d7100 and these seem to manage low light well, and are sensiblypriced..might also be worth a look at, as the d700 is now obsolete
  14. Full frame has the same dimesions as 35mm camera format. these might help, so you can see how the d700 and d300 do not have the same sensor The only other thing that I miss with the dx sensor is that extra reach, which is especially useful with wildlife. My 300mm lens on the d700 stays at 300mm, but as most people will already know, on the d300 it becomes a 420mm Its all a matter of whats best for you as the photographer, I much prefer the full frame now, but hey ho thats my preference.... Its not a case of buying the lastest camera and getting the best results..
  15. Another friend of mine has replaced his 7d for the 7d mark 2 and he says its much better where noise is concerned..
  16. same story with the 5Dmkiii and the 7D in the canon range Probably Paulus, but Im not up with canon gear A friend of mine came to photograph ospreys with me with his 7D and the images were poor because of the high iso we needed to use, early morning, low light He bought another camera Im sure it was the 5D for the next time he went..
  17. Same sensor ???? The d700 is full frame the d300 is crop señor Yes they have the same megapixels but not the same sensor, the d700 has the same sensor as the d3 The physical size of the pixels are larger on the d700 hence it's low light capabilities I shoot at times In low light with iso settings of 6400 sometimes more, I could never do that with the d300 The d300 is a good camera, if you have the light Back to your question..At iso 400 there is little difference in image quality Above that the d700 leaves the d300 and most other cameras for dead Hope this helps a bit on my site that mig
  18. Good attempt with a phone.... But get the camera working on them, if you can get that close you would get cracking images with a decent camera
  19. Season starts November 5th matie..ha ha
