Just come back from Brighton Marina. Storm Doris at work.

Fascinating documentary on tv last night. A must watch for photographers. We don't appreciate how easy it is now a days to take photos.

While I'm posting, might as well included this attempt at long exposure using a neutral density filter in daylight.

That's a cracker. It looks like you might need to clean your sensor?

That's a brilliant picture.....

jack have you had success at cleaning a sensor , i have had similar issues and really have not been able to clean it well.

Smirko needs to clean his sensor urgently

Easiest way to do that is with a 'visible dust arctic butterfly'

Plenty available used and new on ebay

Cleaning your sensor is a piece of pee. If I can do, anyone can. Lots of You Tube tutorials. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_5N9Fvep3lM
I bought a kit which included a dust puffer, swabs and cleaning liquid. Quite cheap on-line.

Hopefully just on the lens as it was windy down there, thanks for heads up, have got rid of them in PS!

You might not notice the dust with most photography, but maybe you were using a tiny aperture? Great pic, BTW.

D7500

I expect it will be too heavy and expensive for me? Got to be better bet than my D200 (which I no longer use cause the results are a bit crappy).

Here's a few from me... maybe a little more specialised than General Photography but I hope you like them.. These were all taken on a trip I came back from last week.

Nikon D7500

Has it got Commander and an inbuilt focusing motor?

No mention of what switches/buttons/dials? (instead of the menu system wit the Nikon D3xxx D5xxx series)

I don't think I've contributed on here before, but last November I went on a workshop in Scotland with Colin Prior, the great landscape photographer.

The workshop was followed by a film crew and the resulting programme is being shown on Monday at 8pm on BBC2 Scotland (channel 970 on Sky and FreeSat. It will also be on iPlayer in HD after broadcast. I've seen the programme on a preview channel and it's brilliant (despite me featuring in it!).

Hopefully, this link will take you to the preview on Facebook.

If you watch the programme, I'm interviewed somewhere around 18 minutes in and one of my photos is featured (and is over Adrian Hollister's left shoulder when he's introducing our exhibition).

Enjoy!

Oh. It's called "Colin Prior Mountain Man"
