    Server move!

    I didn't like an ad I saw when I first came to the Nikonites home page. It had a huge exclamation point and said something like Please Read--Important Message. It took me to a page that looked like the following. People who aren't familiar with Nikonites might start downloading the file.

    Quotes with photos

    @jdeg, after you finish everything from the server move, would you please consider looking into having all the quoted photos display as photos rather than as Attachment #####. Sometimes I have to go back a page or two to identify the photo that was quoted to understand why some of the replies...

    Separating Like/Thanks

    Re: Contributing members idea I've been mulling this over ever since you posted it and hope @jdeg takes this into consideration. It would be nice to reserve the like feature for photos and a separate feature to thank someone for their input instead of having to write a reply. I use the...

    Jake's Backdoor Hippie-palooza, 2014 Edition

    Here is Jake's IR for comparison between the two since the first one is now on a different page in this thread: In comparison I prefer the IR because there are a little more tones and subtle shading than the BW. They are both awesome, but in comparison, I prefer the first one, Jake! :)...

    LCD screen and cold temps

    Today I spent some time outside (cold temp no higher than 19° to 20°F) with my D610 and had 2 occasions where I didn't see an image display on the LCD immediately after taking a photo. Trying to walk to my destination at the first stop didn't yield any photos because it was way too icy and...

    "Beautiful, Intimate Portrait of Bees" by National Geographic

    First let me say I'm not a fan of creepy, crawly, stinging things, but when this link showed up in my FB news feed, I couldn't resist the urge to take a peek. The US Army got involved using some of their technology to take macro shots of bees. Here are a couple of quotes from the article...

    Wedding Story - Did I Act Wrong?

    By now you probably realize the value of a contract. However, it isn't only for your protection...it's for the client's protection, too. And you can sell the benefits of a contract to them as locking in your low price, being there in a timely fashion and doing all that is required of you, as...

    AF On button

    Nikon Rumors posted this video which explains using the AF On button on the back of the camera rather than holding down the shutter halfway then recomposing. The camera needs to be put into AF-C (continuous) for this to work. Plus the shutter release button has to be set so it no longer controls...

    lens advice for D610

    Re: Advice pls I have the Sigma. It's a great lens, but it does have its drawbacks. In comparison to my Nikon 70-300mm f/4.5-5.6, the Nikon is MUCH better overall. I can definitely see a big difference in image quality when comparing photos from both lenses. Granted, it isn't a fair comparison...

    Caesium to reduce file size

    Has anyone tried Caesium Image Compressor to reduce file size? After each theater production at the local high school, I make a 20"x30" poster to hang in their lobby. Since I know kids that age tend to like posters, I've tried to figure out ways on how to share these large @20MB files. Last...

    Difference of Opinion - Many clicks vs. Few clicks

    Question for you, Jack. How does focusing using that method's AF differ from switching the lens to manual focus and pre-focusing on a select spot? And a question in general for everyone. @BackdoorHippie mentioned using continuous mode. How many of you use continuous mode and possibly 3-D...

    It's time for golf - Post your golf shots here.

    I forgot to mention that I parked in an adjacent parking lot and walked to the above hole which was closest to me. Since the parking lot was so close to the hole, I can understand finding lost golf balls nearby. However, these weren't the kind of balls I expected to see (especially without a...

    Kenko vs. Vello extension tubes

    Someone recently mentioned that Vello makes an extension tube set which appears to be quite similar to the Kenko set (both are listed as Auto Sets). What benefits does the Kenko set offer over Vello? Both have good reviews although I'm sure the Kenko set is well known and trusted. Other than...
