I have two Yongnuo YN560's for Nikon. Excellent value for money at under £50 a pop on eBay. Very straightforward to operate both the power and zoom functions on them. Build quality is as good as if...

The price rise by Nikon I personally doubt was due to an internal error. The rise coincided quite neatly with the release of DXOMarks lab testing of the D800, which gave the camera the highest score...

Lovely shots Garry. I'm a fan of the ring flash adapters as they give a really nice wrapped around light. I've got a "Coco" which is a total knock off of the Rayflash. Its great she's in to...

Hi Jim,

For the party (assuming that's relatively well lit) I'd keep my ISO as low as possible and use bounce flash for pleasing light on your subjects.

When it comes to the disco, I'd suggest...

Hi Donoreo,

I really like this shot. Its quite abstract. It makes the viewer think "are you looking up or are you looking forwards?"

I like the strong lines, the reflections and the symmetry of...

Thanks, Garry! I'm pretty pleased with the results. I really struggled with the group shots though as I'm limited for space and the absence of a wide angle lens is a real nuisance. Think I'm going to...

Thanks OB. I see what you mean about the line around the top of the mouth. I think its marmite, as I'd just made him some toast before taking the photos. I'll have to get the healing brush on that...

A great shot Ariana. Its a very gritty portrait, which is right up my alley. The subject looks quite menacing. I'm guessing the baseball bat and the guy tied to the chair with the broken legs, were...

Hi Anthony,

A very nice composition here on not the easiest of subjects. Kids rarely stay still long enough to rack a decent shot off. Waiting for the candid moments, as you have, always tends to...
