Here's my daughter today with the ancient D1X and AF 135/2 DC. The soft focus effect is achieved by shooting at f/2 with DC set to R=2.8. The last image is plain vanilla f/2.8 with DC set to neutral.

Which ones of you guys have decided to get the new D5? I will skip it and wait for D5s, and below is my rationalisation: I have become extremely wary about the version-1.0 releases from Nikon. Their track record hasn't been stellar lately. OTOH I never got the first edition of a Nikon body. I...

If it smells like a rose ... Long shadows already at 1 PM Two suns Frigus Arbores

Today air temp fell to -5 F (-20 C), but the local river still has a few open spots. Not for long, though. I wasn't all alone on my stroll, for a short while I had some company. He decided to move to Morocco, though.

I have a small pond in my back yard. Now that the temperatures finally fell below freezing, the pond is covered with ice. My daughter loves it as well as the neighbors.

We decided to pack a little bit of picnic lunch (LOL microwave popcorn, hot chocolate and some cookies) and make a nice hike in the winter forest. My wife and I like the outdoors but more importantly my 6 yo daughter absolutely loves it. Hiking, biking, skiing, skating, roller skating...

I and a friend of mine took out daughters ice skating today. Suddenly a funny figure entered the ice and he immediately gathered a wide fan club. The nice gentleman was just having some fun. Note to everybody: make sure your insurance policy is up to date before going skating with a DSLR. Just...

Santa brought new earrings to my 6 yo daughter and mom helping put them on. D3X + 200VR II + SB-800 with CTO 3/4 warming gel

D3S + Sigma 24 Art. Making preparations for the Finnish independence day festivities that are tomorrow, December 6th. I shot a few frames during the day. My daughter is making cookies (with her pink Santa hat on, of course) for the youngsters, and I have prepared something for the grown ups...

Now it officially happened, during the night between November 21 and 22. I dind't enjoy cleaning the yard quite as much as my 6 yo daughter enjoyed playing in the snow.

SOLVED! Does the HK-26 hood fit the AF-S VR 300/2.8G ? Does the longer HK-26 hood from the AF-S 300/2.8 D II fit the VR I which has the much shorter HK-30 hood meant for only 200 mm? Can anyone give an affirmative answer based on first hand experience. Please no maybes, perhapses, it-shoulds...

I urge anyone who is at Lightroom 6.1 or earlier NOT to upgrade to LR 6.2 until they see a demo of the new Import Dialog. They took away a large number of functions, selections and info that many users find invaluable. Adobe state that they conducted a market research survey that consisted of...

D3S + 85/1.4D _D3S0775b by foppa2011, on Flickr

Didn't have much time to plan this. I saw one last shy sunbeam lighting the lonely leaf and I just shot it. Not more than 15 seconds later the scene was gone. So all I ended up with was this single noisy semi abstract. But the image speaks "autumn" to me loud and clear. DSC_8665c-pien by...

FIF. Fairy in flight (Image quality and noise are meh, but I don't care. My daughter had fun and loves the shots). D3S @ ISO 51k + 35/1.4 & bad tungsten light at night in basement. _D3S2305b by foppa2011, on Flickr _D3S2444b by foppa2011, on Flickr _D3S2306b by foppa2011, on...
