I got my D7100 three weeks ago and until last week, hardly touched it. Well, last week I was able to use it two nights for about 200 shots total, and I was not happy with the results at all. Everything I shot, with both Nikkor 28mm f1.8 (handheld) and Nikkor 70-200 f2.8 VR2 (monopod), was soft...

I'm at my parents' house in central Florida for the evening and they had a July Fourth parade drive through their neighborhood so I took some shots. What says "Happy July Fourth" better than a decked-out pickup truck and a John Deere tractor carrying a stuffed ape in a cage? After the...

I've read that the Nikkor teleconverters do not change the focus on Nikkor lenses, so should I only fine tune my focus for the lenses without the teleconverter attached, or should also do so with the teleconverter attached? WM

On Wednesday, I had the privilege of meeting up with Marilynne at the Wakodahatchee wetlands in Delray Beach. Although it rained on us, it didn't dampen my spirits, and the visit was simply fantastic, and Marilynne was a perfect hostess and guide. These shots are from the following day when...

I just read a review that indicated that this lens is not an FX format lens. I haven't ever read anything that indicated this before, and since it isn't a DX lens, assumed that it is a a full-frame lens. Can anyone here clear this up for me? I've tried the Nikon USA site and did a search here...

What is the technique of blending many small pictures or parts together to make up a much larger image? Does anyone have experience with doing this? What tools are needed to create this? Thanks! WM

Well, I'm out of the task of an entry for every day this year, but I'll try to fill in some of what I've taken, but haven't posted, and at least keep the exercise going. March 30, Day 89, Shot 89 - Some of the azaleas in my front yard.

I had lunch with some co-workers today and the subject of photography came up. Turns out two of the other three were proud Canon owners who proceeded to give me grief about my "inferior Nikon" equipment. I didn't talk back to them at all, since I've learned not to over the years. (Mark Twain...

Like this, maybe? WM

Falcon on a Buckeye KC-135... Taken last week with a borrowed D3. Notice the spots on the image? The date isn't correctly set on the D3, either. WM

Re: Bird in Flight Ospreys from a local nest. We call them George and Gracie. WM

March 29, Day 88, Shot 88 I spent a bit of time with some Ospreys this afternoon. He was working on nest material retrieval as she was on the nest. I was told that she was on the nest fervently this week, which supposedly indicates that there are eggs in the nest. WM

March 28, Day 87, Shot 87 Yesterday we had gale-force winds, which toppled a few trees. Unfortunately for my neighbor, his house was damaged. The tree service businesses were busy all day. WM

Thank you, wud. Here's another... WM
