Nikon 18-200mm - simply brilliant!

http://www.kenrockwell.com/nikon/18200.htm

What a wonderful lens this is.  Versatile and opens a lot of doors to photos you would otherwise miss.  When you have to change your lens, you are losing time and could miss photo's.  If you have an 18-55 and 55-200, think how often you have swapped lenses, when this could free up that time.

As always, Ken has a good verdict and some sample photos to check out.

Digital Sports Photography - Wrestling

Some photos I took recently at a wrestling match, I'm pleased with the results - they were taken using a Nikon D5000 with a Sigma external flash and 55-200mm Nikkor VR lens.  The flash was put at 1/2 and on manual because it was coming out too dark and around ISO 800 minimum to capture the action.

Post your comments and thoughts if you like these pics :)

Thanks, Simon.

What about printing?

Many people are happy to take lots of digital photographs, but not many people have them printed and put on the wall - it's not so much the done thing.  If you do have a really nice photo you want printing, yes you can get it done while you shop at your local supermarket all in one machine...  But it lacks that superiority that the "pro's" prints have.

Problem solved...  possibly regarded as the best place to get prints done, and for many years now - Previously known as Colab and now One Vision Imaging, you can get professional printing (not like professional, actually professional) at a reasonable cost.  It doesn't stop at gloss or matte either...  You can get a full blown canvas if you like but check out what they offer if you want something special.
