These are a few I took during the summer that I just got around to processing... Higher res photos can be viewed here... Nature - Miguel Thompson

Recently I had the opportunity to borrow a Tamron 17-50mm f/2.8 XR Di-II LD Aspherical [IF] and was not impressed by the lack of sharpness when shooting wide open. I could not figure out for the life of me why all of my photos seemed out of focus and then for some reason thought that it might be...

Last week I was looking on Adorama for a 35mm lens. I found one and added it to my cart, but before checking out I decided to continue browsing the used section for something else that I might be able to use. I found an older Nikon 28-85mm AF lens for $15. Their grade for the lens was an A- for...

I've read all of the replies and I will comment on them later today in regards to what I feel... Here is an example of a photo that I took which sort of resembles the type of editing he did vs what i would expect. Here is my original. Here is what his editing looked like. Here is my...

My sister will be getting married in a two months and has already signed a contact with a photographer. I've looked at some of his work online and I (being no expert or professional) feel that his work is on the higher spectrum of average. She recently had her engagement photos taken which he...

I see where the difference lies when comparing the GX1 to the D7100. The only switch I had on the GX1 lenses (if any) was to turn image stabilization on or off. Their camera's must be set to the AF/MF setting (on the body) which overrides the lens in order to pinpoint your focus. I think that...

Unfortunately these photos weren't taken with a Nikon... I used a Panasonic GX1 with a 45-200mm lens (which I recently sold).

Hello, I just joined the site to begin doing research on new equipment. I just sold all of my gear I had in order to help pay for some plane tickets to see my 87 year old grandmother in CA. I'm hoping to figure out a way to buy a D7100 before July. I have two weddings in CA which I will be a...
