Tested the range of aperture just now. It's hard to guess when they'll appear because through the viewfinder my eyes naturally create sunstars but they wont always appear in the DSLR created image. My previous walk around 35mm Voigtlander created beautiful stars at f/2.8 and f/4.0 with its...

I've been trying to see how I can get the 24-70mm f/2.8G (non VR) to turn light into stars. I know it has 9-rounded aperture blades but on some of my other lenses, with rounded apertures, I can stop down enough and create them. I've been stopping down and testing through the aperture-range but...

I took some engagement photos the other day and processed them. I like how they came out in black and white. This is my first time shooting people like this. 80-200mm f/2.8 AF-D ED Em & Rich - Moment in Time by Pan S, on Flickr Em & Rich - Touch by Pan S, on Flickr Out of all my photos...

So I went to my local camera store and picked one up. Immediately I should've thought -- that it will need to come off and on everytime I put it inside my (rather snug) camera bag. It does seem to block a good amount of the light when shooting. The glasses version is quite large and completely...

How does one go about heading towards this direction. I love the feel of the circular eye cup in the D700 and the D8XX series. it just latches onto my brow and face shape better. I noticed many of the Nikon circular cups aren't compatible with the D750. Any tips or advice? This is the first real...

Pathmaker D750 + 80-200mm f/2.8D f.8.0 shutter speed 1.6/1 iso 100 Headlights of a Ducati Panigale in the dark from an angle I find perplexing. Backside of the motorcycle is lit with an iPhone for continuous lighting. We often neglect to appreciate our own headlights because they are busy...

Something I haven't been able to figure out how to do on the D750 is how to quickly set my WB with a grey card. Ideally I want to take a photo of my Grey Card (with and without flash), then use that to set my WB. How do I do this?

Today I was challenged with a difficult situation (to me). I had my camera on my desk and my co-worker asked me to take a photo of her. She's African-American with a dark skin tone. She stood infront of a bright window and smiled. The camera hunted and struggled to find her face. 3 seconds of...

How do I download full resolution images from my Nikon Camera to my smartphone using the Nikon WMU app? Nikon WMU claims they transfer "optimal resolution" for smartphones "optimized for display" and a VGA sized at 640x480. With my Sony alpha camera I can download from full 6000x4000 JPEG and...

I might as well have a go as well... : ) Edit: Went into General Settings and got my EXIF data to show : )!

Horoscope Fish - One of those, once you go Full-Frame, you don't go back to crop, scenarios? The FX photos and blur ARE what really grabbed me when I first started using FX. Hrm @singlerosa I don't doubt that there are those who manage with Crop. I wonder what difficulties they have. @Daz -...

Tell me your thoughts and honest feelings about this. Would you use a DX camera as your main camera at a wedding? What are the strengths, weaknesses, shortcomings? Does the D500 or specific lenses fix any of those shortcomings?

I could be happier with my 80-200mm f/2.8 ED. I've been waiting quite patiently for Nikon to release an updated version of their f/2.8 telephoto zoom. The telephoto 2.8 zooms are updated about every 5-6 years: 1982 1988 (6 years) 1993 (5 years) 1997 (5 years) 2003 ( 6 years) 2009 (6 years)...

Howdy! I'll be traveling to California to take a great deal of portraits. I've traveled with cameras before, but this time I plan on bringing my strobe kit and I'm unfamiliar with the rules of travel as I know they're getting more strict. I'll be bringing a 500W strobe and a 3' Octabox. I plan...

I have quite sub-par vision and safe to say I'm terribly nearsighted with astigmatism. If I look through an OVF with my glasses off, the image is as blurry as I see the world? If I look through my friend's Coolpix 530 I can look through her EVF without glasses? Can someone explain to me what is...
