A couple of shots of Mammoth Hot Springs, Yellowstone Park, WY

I'm new at teleconverters so I am wondering if others have noticed play between their TC connection. There's between 1/16 to 1/32 inch worth of play between my camera body and teleconverter (clockwise/counter clockwise). In fact, there's enough play that it will register a bar difference when...

I've been asked to write a review on the Nero Trigger (see NeroTrigger) and it has finally arrived today. But before I get started, I'm wondering if anyone else has had any experience with it (not to mention help if I get stuck). Ideally I'd like to add to the review comments from others here on...

It doesn't look like Nikon is going to get a home run out of this one, either. DxOMark dissects Nikon 1 V3, sees no great improvement from previous generations

Montana clouds

Well, my monster of a lens arrived safely yesterday and today I was able to take her out for a test drive. Unfortunately, it was a bit cloudy here so all these images were taken at ISO 400. I've got them broken down into the whole image followed by a crop. There not much PP on these shots and...

With a little practice you can take very slow images while hand holding your camera. Be sure to have your elbows tucked in to give added support and like shooting a rifle, take a deep breath and slowly let it out as you gently squeeze the shutter release. This image below was shot at 1/30 sec...

Here's an image using my new D800E and 300mm lens w/ 1.7TC (hand held, I've not set up my gimbal yet). I'm loving the bokeh this lens produces, very creamy and smooth

The first real shot from my new D800E. One early observation is the shutter sound is different. There's a subtle noise it makes, almost a very quick whistle, that my 800 does not make. This shot was taken with my 70-300mm wide open at f/5.6 and at only 1/125 sec and I've not yet tuned this lens...

I don't know whether I should feel bad or not for finding this really funny

Ouch.... "The debacle started when the China Central Television show “3.15″ (sort of like 60 minutes) not only accused Nikon of selling a defective product — something the company has pretty much admitted to at this point — but also featured hidden camera footage of employees denying returns...

B&W or color?

(Post attempt #2) I found this small herd of sheep while putzin around the foothills of the Gallatin Nat. Forest. D800; 70-300mm;

It was cloudy so the color version it's all that inspiring but I came back after the clouds went away and took this one.

I received my price increase letter today and not sure what I think. $99 may be near my tipping point. Given that most of my purchases are well over the minimum "free shipping" level, not sure whether this so-called service is cost effective any longer. Yes, the free movies they provide to prime...
