I only recently started working with BBF and BIF so am happy with one of my first attempts.

I'm really late with my January photo, but here it is.

@WayneF do you have any idea what might be happening?

I went out yesterday to work more with BBF. For some reason, the dynamic 9 wasn't tracking (even showed dynamic 9 in the top screen of the camera). It wasn't until I got home that I saw I had inadvertently switched out of AF-C and was in AF-A. :unconscious: Must have spun the wrong wheel at some...

Went out to practice BIF the other day but didn't have too many opportunities. A few of these are posted in another thread where I was asking questions on BIF and and the various auto focus settings. These were all taken with the Nikon 300mm f/4 PF although for some reason the EXIF doesn't...

This afternoon I had a chance to work with BBF and 3D AF. I was really looking foward to it! On my way to find some birds, I came across this stream. It was flowing at a pretty good rate of speed. Looking through my viewfinder, the AF dot was racing around faster than a mouse on an exercise...

I'm a little late to the party. ;) Went out to work with BIF and only took my D610, 300mm, and 1.4x teleconverter. This stream ran underneath the roadway. I immediately thought of this thread and wanted to kick myself for not taking my bag with other lenses, a tripod, and an ND filter. But...

Two years ago I posted this thread talking about converting a monopod head. I'm wondering if I find a supportive Arca Swiss monopod head that holds more than 5.5 pounds, would it be able to be converted to a different Manfrotto head...

When it comes to monopod heads, there are only a couple of choices for the quick release plates. Either they are Manfrotto or Arca Swiss. I happen to prefer my Manfrotto tripod head, but their monopod head isn't rated for too much weight. When I bought my Manfrotto 234RC Tilt Head, it was...

They do not come up with the exact measurements. I'm having trouble dialing in exactly 60 feet into TrueDoF-Pro. I either go over by 4" or at least 1" too short. But this is what I came up with as close as I could get to 60 feet: TrueDof-Pro also has a setting to turn on/off factoring in...

I've been looking for an easy DoF calculator app and finally found one I really like. Previously I've been using TrueDoF-Pro but much prefer the intuitive and easy layout of Simple DoF. Here is a screen shot from my phone showing how it works. This was set up for a 300mm lens on my D750, f/10...

Was out the other day working on BIF and found a bunch of seagulls. Up until @Woodyg3 mentioned differences between gulls, I never realized there was more than one variety. So can anyone tell me what the big one is on the right? I am assuming it is some type of gull (and I probably shouldn't...

This afternoon I went to Core Creek Park to shoot birds-in-flight. Since someone asked me to take photos of her son playing T-Ball, I need to work with moving subjects. BIF is easier said than done! :beguiled: Hopefully taking photos of a boy swinging a bat will be a little easier! :eek: These...

I set up all my bodies for U1 being BBF, Aperture Priority, AF-C, single point focus, and focus priority (instead of release priority). Today I worked on panning by following the birds. My focus point didn't move. As the birds flew, at times I couldn't keep the focus point on them. Is the focus...

This is the State Capitol Building in Trenton, New Jersey. There is a levee on the Pennsylvania side. I climbed part way up the levee which is the ground in the foreground.

Decided to upgrade to a 300mm f/4 PF with VR since my 300mm f/4 AF-S is so much heavier (I've been dealing with both trigger finger and trigger thumb in my right hand). I don't know why the EXIF doesn't list the lens as being the PF model. I did set the lens profile with the correct information...

This thread is addicting, isn't it?! ;) Did you come here to see what someone bought or to see whose money got taken? :loyal: Last summer I purchased a Nikon 300mm f/4 AF-S lens which I love; however, I struggle with its weight especially since I have both trigger finger and trigger thumb in my...

Being curious, I looked up info on the Korean Nikon D750. This comes from the following link (you will need to translate the page then click on the tab for product specification): D750 | Nikon Imaging Korea Screen shot from the above link:

While watching a Steve Perry video on the Nikon 300mm f/4 PF, he mentioned there was a service advisory issued for the early copies of the lens. Supposedly when mounted on the D8xx bodies, there is a problem when the VR is engaged at slower shutter speeds causing the images to be a little...
