Thank you....that makes sense now.

Hi again, following on from a previous question re lightroom and raw:-
I have a k3, lightroom 6 and ps elements 14. Should i be using PEF or DNG for raw?
If its DNG, when i transfer my card contents onto hard drive, then into lightroom, do i click "copy", or "copy as DNG" (if they are already dng?).
Bit confused!!!!!

Another vote for Mike Browne, his videos are excellent.
I know its not really a "dslr for beginners" type book, but "Understanding Exposure" by Bryan Peterson is an excellent book on, err, understanding exposure!
Stick with it....it will be worth it.

Hi all.
When copying my sd card raw images into lightroom on laptop, should i "copy", "move", or "import".....should i keep the originals on the sd card, or should i clear the card?
And, should i be converting to DNG on import?
Got lightroom 6 last year, and have just never got round to learning it....
Any advice would be appreciated.

As per title, if anyone has one for sale give me a shout.

I have a 67mm haida nd3.0 filter which has a 67mm thread. It came with a 67 to 62mm ring which i use on my 18-135 lens. I have a sigma 10-20mm lens which has a 77mm thread. Could i use a couple of rings (77 to 72 and 72 to 67) to make a 67mm filter fit a 77mm lens?
Would the lower diameter filter affect the image on a larger diameter lens...ie vignetting?
Or should i be looking to get a 77mm filter, and use step down rings to fit all my lower diameter lenses.
Cheers,
Simon.

I have the peak design "leash" and wrist strap. I dont like the wrist strap very much....it ties up the hand you have it attached to. Try getting something out your pocket with it on.
I like the leash better, quite comfortable. The connectors are a good idea....but, and i mean a BIG but.....the first one i got, one of the connectors came apart on its first use, as in attaching it to the camera!! It literally fell apart!!
I bought it from premier inks, who were great, and sent out a replacement.
There is some info of the net about them coming apart, and how to check if you have a dodgy one....i knew straight away there was something wrong with one of mine.
The replacement has been fine though.

Great day out.....i love the Big Meeting.
The Crookhall banner will be in attendace again, and on its return paraded through the village, before the brass band play for an hour or so. Been going for years, but im off up to Brighouse Bay, near Kirkcudbright in Scotland on Saturday.

I have the HD 55 - 300 WR....I think its a great lens.
I paid £200 for it second hand (Mint, as new, in box) about a year ago, so at the time wasn't that much more than the standard 55 - 300 used price.
personally, if i had the standard one, and a decent WR one came up, at a decent price, i would go for it purely for the WR, for what would be a relatively small outlay.
i must say as well mind, it "seems to me" that it performs better (definitely hunts less) on the K3 rather my previous k5.

Same here.
