    Hark 2018

    This definitely wasn't planned! My Australian Shepherd almost got a hold of this possum before it reached the top of our 6' fence. It stayed put long enough for me to grab a camera. My D7200 was the easiest one to grab (albeit with a slow lens), and although I wasn't able to remove my CP filter...

    Hark 2018

    These are probably poisonous berries since birds don't appear to be eating them. Does anyone know the name of this plant? :confused:

    Camera Bag replacement dividers

    Locally I bought a used Tamrac Pro 12 camera bag, but not all of the padded velcro dividers really fit. A few appear to be from a smaller bag and don't quite reach from side-to-side. Does anyone know where I might be able to find similar dividers to replace the ones I need? :confused: I've been...

    September 2018 Theme: Home City, Town or just Where You Live

    This was taken at one of our local parks. Originally this land was dug/mined for quartz, but since we are so close to sea level, they hit water. Eventually the township got the land and turned it into a park. Last year they added this fishing pier.

    Hark 2018

    Here are a couple more from this afternoon. Both of these and the previous photo were edited in ACR and PCC with Color Efex Pro 4. Both of these were stopped down furtner...the first at f/14 and the second at f/13. Wanted to see how this lens performs at some extremes. I'm very happy with its...

    Hark 2018

    I took it back to the store and tried out two other preowned models. Both were much sharper throughout. This one was their rental lens. There is some play in the manual focus ring. I keep bumping it since the zoom is on the opposite end of the lens than what I'm accustomed to. I'll have to work...

    Hark 2018

    Here are a couple of images from one of our parks. I was trying out a new-to-me recent acquisition. Haven't yet decided whether or not I like this lens. It's a tad soft compared with what I've been using.

    wev's "I can't believe I'm doing this again. . ." 365 for 2018

    Thanks for the info! :encouragement: I looked at my options but a pro plan isn't being offered. I even clicked the link to learn more. Then I added the D500 to my cart to see what you were talking about, and I see they offer both a regular plan as well as a pro plan for that body. I will...

    Sigma Lens Compatibility Issues

    I posted this as a response to someone's question but thought it should have its own thread. When searching for info on Sigma's lens compatibility problem, I came across info that explains why the issue exists. It says Tamron and Tokina pay licensing fees to Nikon while Sigma doesn't. Supposedly...

    No memory card, no shutter actuation

    Recently I heard about the ability to set a body to not actuate the shutter when no memory card is inserted and am curious how many people enable this setting? I don't recall seeing it mentioned here although no doubt I could have missed it. I just set my D750 and D7200--both use f7 under the...

    Primes vs Telephoto lenses

    I have both the PF and the AF-S (no VR) versions of the 300mm f/4 prime as well as a 1.4x teleconverter. The difference in IQ with the 1.4x teleconverter is very small. I'm pretty sure both of these were taken with the AF-S (non-VR) lens and 1.4x teleconverter earlier this year. The PF weighs a...

    Post your latest purchases.

    Lol...well...I will also admit buying their Basic Kit after watching their video on changing the Kelvin temperature in camera. The Standard Gel set included in the kit are color correction gels. If the Kelvin temp is changed to be really blue, their CTO gels correct the blue tones on the people...

    Post your latest purchases.

    Several months ago, the lady who asked me to take Tball photos of her son asked if I would take her family photos. I declined since my only real flash experience is with OCF while using a flash bracket (corded). Even though I have triggers, multiple flash units, and light stands, flash simply...

    Histogram and printing

    I find that when printing, quite often I have to tweak adjustments to the shadows (raise them). Otherwise, quite often there isn't a lot of detail in the shadows. And that's after making sure I don't have any clipping going on. And as Don mentioned, be sure to calibrate your monitor. If you are...

    Godox AD200 question

    I found this by MagMod made specifically to attach triggers to flash units. It's a set of 3 silicone bands. I will have to find out if they will fit on the Godox AD200 since it is a little bigger than a typical flash...

    Godox AD200 question

    The Godox AD200 is a popular flash unit, and when the times comes that I need to add any additional flashes, I am interested in it. However, there seems to be a caveat. Since it lacks a hot shoe, it doesn't appear it can sync with any triggers other than one by Godox. So does that mean I...

    Replace mount ring on Nikon 70-300mm f/4-5.6G AF Zoom Nikkor Lens

    Maybe @rickHo can give you some suggestions on where to look. He repairs some of his own lenses.

    Remote on Duration (ML-L3) Limit too Short

    I was told the wired Phottix TR-90 is also the same thing as the wired Shutterboss.
