<p>Hi All<br>

I have a manfrotto 074 tripod that has lasted well over the 10 years I have had it, just to many things wrong with it now.<br>

Can some one recommend a good strong tripod (not carbon) I use a d3 with 24-70 lens on it so needs to be sturdy.<br>

Have looked at the Manfrotto 055 but don't think it is sturdy enough for me.</p>

<p>Thanks in advance...</p>

<p>Hi All<br>

I have a shoot in Oslo in a few weeks, and need to hire in a large backdrop and lights.<br>

Can anyone recommend somewhere in Oslo preferably who deliver.<br>

Many thanks</p>

<p>Good morning all.......<br>

When I open an image in photoshop CS (mac) which I have shot jepg as a portrait it opens as a landscape, I then save it as a portrait but when I re-open it it still opens as a landscape, this is driving me mad! their must be a simple solution to this?<br>

Thanks in advance.....</p>

<p>Yes re the VR suggestion think it was more "I am new here at Nikon and don't' really have a clue what I am Talking about"</p>

<p>Have now sent it back to where I bought it with some sample pix, got back to me the next day saying they will put another one in the post, so great service and hopefully the new one will be fine.</p>

<p>The D7000 is a bit light coming from the D3 but is is for backup and video, and for when your out and about and not on a job it should be perfect.<br>

<p>Hi<br>

Glad it's not just me!<br>

I bought a D7000 last month and struggle to get a sharp picture from it, I took it to a Nikon NPS clinic and they made me feel like a complete idiot as if I was imaging it........there answer to leave the VR on!!!<br>

Although I am using it as a back up to my D3, maybe I am expecting to much, but a sharp pic is a must.</p>

<p>Hi All and good afternoon......<br>

I am looking for a 2nd body, currently have a a D3 which is out of this world!<br>

I was looking at a D300s as I also want video. Nikon have just launched the D7000 which is slightly cheaper but looks a better camera in all aspects? Has anyone had hands on experience with any of these cameras, I use high iso a lot so this is important.<br>

Thanks in advance.</p>

Thanks to all who answered.

James , to answer your question if you read my question I am not unfamiliar with

"standard lighting" and as this is my first cover shoot I am keen to get it spot on. How I got

this gig? I have been doing some location fashion and makeovers for about 1 year for said

mag ........and was delighted to be asked to do a cover shot.

As Michael mentioned it is also about being in the right place at the right time and I have

built up a great relationship with them over the past year.Also do not get this out of

proportion this Scotland not NY.

Hopefully I will post a few pix from the shoot in the next few weeks.

Thanks again

Sandy
