    Telephoto Upgrade

    When I bought mine, I couldn't find much info on Nikonites about this lens so this video played a big part in my decision. And like @hrstrat57 mentioned, the lens can be a bit soft at 300mm so I tend to keep it at 280mm or less.

    Changing cell phone providers

    In October I will be able to switch to a different cell phone carrier. When I switched to Verizon for the plan I now have, they made sure I didn't have anything in writing until after the 10-day cancellation period. When I finally received info on my plan, I was told I'd get more data than what...

    Cathedral Caverns

    Don, how is the interior lit (the photos without flash)? Is that natural light, or are there small hidden lights installed inside the cave? Maybe @WayneF can give you some pointers.

    Network Extender question

    B&H has a network extender as their deal of the day today, but since I don't know anything about them, can anyone tell me if this one is decent? I need better reception upstairs which is the furthest location from my router. Or are there other features available in other network extenders that...

    Have you seen this video? TJ Maxx lady

    This showed up in my Facebook news feed today. The Facebook video is far funnier than the YouTube version because someone edited it and added closed captioning. Just wondering if she will become as famous as Chewbacca Mom. If you aren't on FB, sorry, as the link will take you there...

    Changing a shade of green

    This evening I had a chance to play around with both types of edits that @nickt and @BackdoorHippie posted. Thank you to both of you--I can see benefits from both methods and appreciate learning new ways to edit. Jake, I have a question...when I went into the yellows, I thought the lightness...

    Changing a shade of green

    This looks very interesting and will take a longer look a little later (have an appointment soon). That isn't anything I've ever done yet. I don't use LR, but Camera RAW offers the same features in a different layout which is what I use. So I did try something new to me. I used an adjustment...

    Post your Moths & Butterflies

    Definitely not my normal subject--in fact, it's probably only my second or third time photographing a moth/butterfly.

    Changing a shade of green

    It's better than what I came up with yesterday which is this after cropping: What did you do to get to that shade? Everything I was coming up with had a green tint to it, but when I moved the tint slider towards the magenta side, then the greens started to take on a pinkish cast.

    Changing a shade of green

    Yesterday while at a park, I took a number of photos that contain a variety of shades of green. Unfortunately many of the shades are hideous and I'm having trouble adjusting them. I believe the problem may be due to the CP filter I'm using. I tend to watch the blues more than the greens which...

    Hark's 2015 and 2016

    One more from yesterday afternoon. I am assuming this is some type of moth as it was quite small and flitted about very quickly. It was difficult to get a good shot because by the time my lens focused, it would move to a new location. That did leave me with a couple of nice flower shots though...

    Hark's 2015 and 2016

    And these were taken this afternoon also at the same park. I was photographing the kayaks when the boat pulled in. They no sooner touched ground when the park employees immediately went over asking if they were fishing (and I have no idea where the park employees came from because they hadn't...

    Hark's 2015 and 2016

    Oops...somehow I skipped uploading photos from 10 days ago. All of these were taken at a local park. The park offers memorials that can be put in the ground or attached to park benches. It was immensely hot this day. In the background below, that isn't haze. There is a quarry where...

    Question for Horoscope Fish

    Horoscope Fish my local school is offering a class on Blown Glass Ornaments for adults in the community. Since I've seen your photos of blown glass, is it difficult to do? I'm interested in taking the class. It's 2 hours per night for 2 nights and supposedly allows people to create 10 ornaments...

    D7200 upgrade to D500

    Jake, I didn't want his question to get buried with all the opinions that came afterwards. @BackdoorHippie

    My SB-910 needs repair

    Made some adjustments to the settings and took a few test shots. Here is my Australian Shepherd, Keilah. The vignette was entirely done in post (in case you think it is too much).

    Merlin Bird App

    @BackdoorHippie gets some hummingbird photos, but whether his are those specific ones, I wouldn't know. I've never seen a hummingbird myself. This will be interesting--I hope some Nikonites will be able to supply photos.

    Better covered?

    Pulling up photos from B&H's web site, it looks like they open in different directions. Sorry I can't be of help to you. I keep the Easy Covers over my Nikon bodies. The silicone wraps around the bottoms slightly--I've never had a problem, but I can't say for sure whether the Easy Cover prevents...
