This issue just started happening with my D7200 (haven't used it that much), on all lenses so has to be a camera issue. Have cleaned sensor twice. Not sure what it could be? It behaves opposite of a dust spot. See the different between f/11, f/8, and f/1.8 (it gets much more noticeable BELOW...

More like "fogscape" but might as well be clouds. :) These are from a temp inversion in July after torrential rain storms (we get a lot of temp inversions, but rarely is there enough moisture to produce this much fog; probably only a few times a year).

This morning's sunrise near Santa Fe.

Hello, I'm about to have a couple of photos printed from an online service (Nations Photo to be precise, as I've heard relatively good things about their quality compared to similarly priced sites). I don't really know a whole lot about resizing for printing. This is the first time I've ever...

Just took this one on Monday before work.

There was a lot of great weather here in July (monsoon season). We had a lot of temperature inversions and fog; one morning it was particularly impressive. Hard to choose a specific photo from that morning but this is probably my favorite!

New Mexico sunrise from June.

Not sure if this is the right forum to ask this but I need some advice / outside opinions. I purchased a D7200 from Amazon, 'new' condition, with Amazon LLC as the seller (bought directly from them). When I received it, it was not 'new' but clearly either used, demo, or return. The camera was...

Hello, I'm about to purchase a new camera body. I'm upgrading from my D5100, which I've been using for almost 3 years. I'm on a budget and I'm pretty sure I want either the D7100 or D7200 (have a couple DX lenses and not enough money to replace them with FX, so not getting an FX body yet)...

A vivid sunrise in northern New Mexico. The Desert Southwest has some of the best sunrises in the US, probably due to the clean, dry air.

I need some help with something that has been causing me much frustration. Lately I've been trying to force my flash to go off, no matter what, when I'm taking outdoor macro photos with my D5100. However, I've tried everything and can't get it to work. The only time it will go off is if the...

This one wasn't particularly colorful but the texture of the storm clouds was really neat.

Last November from an overlook in Austin.

Hello, I'm having a tough time deciding between these two lenses. I just do nature photography as a hobby - landscape and macro. Currently I use the kit lens for my landscape shots (18-55) and the 55-200 for some zoomed in shots. I also use some cheap macro filters (+2, +4, +10) attached to my...

1st is without filter, 2nd is with. They have the exact same white balance setting. Maybe I just have the tweak the white balance a lot when I use the filter? I messed around with it a bit and was able to improve it, but there was still a purplish tinge towards the top.
