All, Been away for quite a while and unfortunately need some assistance as I get back in to digital photography. I'm looking for a fast low light zoom lens... or at least that is what I think I need. My oldest daughter competes on an Elite Cheer Team and the environment the competitions are...

The far left range... I bounced back and forth over. But I'll take the 8.

Anyone able to offer advice on best settings for taking pics of Aircraft and Paratroopers when their background will be bright/cloudy skies? Back Story: On Sunday I am taking my family to watch soldiers in my unit conduct an Airborne operations (Jump from planes) and would like to take...

My three photo hats.

14 Frame Photomatix Only light sources are the candles in the Pumpkins .

I've seen a few posts of others wanting to hook their camera to their telescope. This led me to a few questions and searching the net only added to some of the confusion. I own a Meade EXT-60 telescope (have had for about 10 years) Also own a D5100. 1) Can anyone assist in telling me what I...

Looking at 3 reverse rings and have worked myself into a bit of confusion... actually more than a bit. 1) Understanding that my 18-55mm Kit lens is 52mm I am pretty safe at getting: - Fotodiox 52mm Filter Thread Lens, Macro Reverse Ring Camera Mount Adapter for Nikon SLR Cameras 2) If I...

Ok, Finally gave it a shot. Standard Kit-lense 55-300. I put the Camera in Sport mode... Looks like I got the head in focus but not so much of the rear body.

My pouting baby. Apparently she doesn't like the bath. Which is too bad for her because we didn't like the smell of whatever it is she rolled in.

And another, just for fun. Was given a balloon hat, at the same competition, by a girl getting ready for their skit. Couldn't find the wife to snap a picture and figured.... again.... I would have to take one of myself.

Took this one just after my daughter's cheer leading competition. Was joking with the wife that this would be the only way I would ever be in family portraits. Wasn't until after I got home that I realized it might have been better if I had them standing closer to the glass facing me while I...

Did a few quick shots to hopefully show some difference. Used the 'abandoned swing set' in my back yard. Here is the Base Pic: Here is the In-Camera HDR with a 3 EV difference: Here's a 1 shot that was tone/mapped - batched in Photomatix: Here is a 3 shot bracket (Set at 3EV in camera)...

Airborne Paratrooper Next Letter: R

Anyone else using Windows 8 and Explorer 10? I have lost the ability to hit return in a post and separate the paragraphs. If I jump on to my daughter's computer (WIN 7 & Explorer 9) I have no issues with this. Curious if I am the only one having this issue.

I've read multiple reviews from multiple sources and now come to you for your wisdom and advice. I'm looking at getting an external flash for my D5100. I'm looking at the Sunpak DF3000 ($49.99) I am looking for something that will perform better than the flash on the camera that still allows...
