    First Attempt at Fireworks with the D3100

    This was shot with a 200MM lens, F8 at 2 seconds I was 10 miles away so there had to be a good bit of cropping to get a decent picture. The white dome in the lower left of the photo is the State Capital building of the State of Alabama.

    Downtown Wetumpka, AL

    The church is pre Civil War. I had to spend a couple of hours removing all the power poles and other building in order to show it like it had to look in the 20s when this bridge was built.

    Print Size

    I had not really printed anything other than a 8 X 10 so no idea of the true quality. I had only been looking in PhotoShop and anything more than 100% really looked like crap. I ran a few tests this afternoon and using 8 X 10 paper I printed 12 X 18 up through 24 X 36 and at a standard viewing...

    My first D3100 video

    https://www.facebook.com/video/video.php?v=2011335371604 Was at the zoo and heard this sound and had to get it on video. Very hurried because they don't make this noise very often. Glad the video was so easy to get to. I would have hated to miss this.

    Hello From Alabama

    Spent the day in Tuscaloosa and shot many photographs. Sad to see my home town destroyed. Have a couple of shots I will probably share here.

    Focus on infinity.

    I am not setting it on a mark. Back on the old film cameras you could turn it all the way and it would be on infinity made it great when you were shooting long shots. With Auto focus you have to wait on it to work and I do some night shooting with long exposures and it would be great to set it...

    Focus on infinity.

    I am a old 35mm and medium format shooter and have just recently gotten my Nikon D3100 and for the most part love it. Two questions though: 1. In 35mm and medium format you could turn the focus all the way one direction and the focus would be set to infinity. That was a great way to shoot fast...
