Tried some handheld focus stacking series this morning. Just slowly leaned in while taking shots.

Sorry, didn't read far enough across the chart to see the asterisks.

Disclaimer, I am still fairly new to macro. I am certainly no expert, nor did I stay in a Holiday Inn Express last night. These are some of the things I have learned that may be of help to some of you out there. These things are probably already known by the more experienced. Some of them may be...

All of the limited compatibility listing have a footnote at the bottom. They are either manual focus only, or no TTL metering.

Welcome. There is a lot to consider when buying your first camera. Which brand is a large consideration, as lenses for one brand pretty much cannot be used on another brand of camera. Obviously we are Nikon users here, although there are some who have other brand cameras as well. One suggestion...

Yes, you'll definitely want a full frame (FX) lens for your D750. With a DX lens attached, you will be getting something like 12 MP out of your full frame sensor.

Well, the weather is still fairly nice after the storm, and it's going to be hot again starting tomorrow, so I headed back over to Cypress Gardens this morning to strike while the iron is hot. Glad I did. My guess is this is a male mosquito. Note the feathery antennae. I may need to work on...

Usually I get them when they are green on green. They can change between green and brown, I guess orange is beyond their capability. There are lots of them around, and after taking quite a few pictures of them, I don't get all that excited about shooting them. Also, unlike insects, many of them...

I only post my images here and on another non-photo interest website that has a photography subsection that a few folks there post to. Both this site and the other allow direct upload of images from your computer, so there is no need for a hosting service, unless you just want them out there for...

Thanks, Woody, coming from you that means a lot. For this shoot I used the old 105 Nikon after removing the focus ring. I can manipulate the mechanism directly this way. It's stiff and uneven, but works. I set it to the magnification I think I'll need and focus with camera distance. Even...

Well the Pup made it out with me to the gardens this morning. Weather was really nice for this time of year. Not sure if this is the same frog from last weekend, but he was in the same general location, and posed for us for a while. Lots of dragonflies around, Took some patience to get them...

Well, here's an unplanned focus stack. I was checking the non focusing 105 macro to see if it was still sharp after reassembly. I set the focus on roughly 1:2 before assembly so I can still focus by camera distance. Anyway I found two ladybugs and was taking some pictures of them. I could get...

I don't think it's as a case of people thinking you shouldn't respond to an older thread, just making you aware that it's from a couple years ago and some of the folks in the thread are no longer active, and some issues have different solutions with changes in firmware/software updates, and...

Thanks, I hadn't noticed. Fixed it.

It says free download here: Nikon USA

I saddled up the old Z5 yesterday to try and get a few ladybug pictures in the back yard. When I went to focus, I discovered the EVF (as well as the back display) was extremely dark. I was in manual mode, and had the flash attached. I could get the EVF to brighten, but only by increasing the...

You're not helping any, BF!
