Sorry, but I can't seem to stop myself from being marveled by this new Life coming up from the ground. It's still quite a Mystery to me.

Thanks guys. I had to do some more because these things won't last for long. iso 400 this time.

May 13th. With spring, life's coming up from the ground. To me, just seeing what Mother Earth can bring up makes me believe in a Higher Power. Few macros with the D600 and Sigma 105. Iso 1000.

I think your monitor could use calibration, unless you really wanted to have this strong color cast as an effect. I took the liberty to just use the color balance in PS to get to this:

May 8th I had time to take a slow walk into the woods nearby with my Sigma 105 macro and the D600. Iso was 1250 and aperture around f8. As you can see, this lens is stellar IMHO. 100% crop of the previous

One thing is certain, we will never be able to please everyone. So as much as we will try to make the assignment interesting and stimulate participation, it will never be perfect. Let's just say that it could be work in progress for a while until we do find the magic formula. As much as I...

It's been a while since I posted here. I guess there is a life outside Nikonites. I experimented with slow shutter speeds and intentional motion blur. I find the results to be interesting, not award winning, but interesting stuff happening in this shot. D7000, 300 AF-D f4, 1/8s hand held...

If you've read one of my recent posts, this is what we are trying to do this month. You still can (I hope you can) cast a "like" even if the thread is closed. Now, I would really like someone to try it just to make sure since sometimes I can do things that others can't because of my "Moderator"...

OK, let's say we try something new for last month's Assignment "FLOWERS". I just noticed that even if the thread is closed, people can still input their "likes". So what if we would give all members the possibility to get on that forum, look at all submissions and cast as many "likes" as they...

Maybe what you should all consider is this used to be a challenge and we did change the title to Assignment. All participants are winners as this is not a competition and no prizes are given. All can learn by participating and seeing what others do. Maybe we should just forget the judging and...

May 2014 Monthly Assignment: B & W Night Photography This month's Assignment consist of using your camera to capture night scenes. It can be city lights, urban landscapes, stars, but it has to be taken at low light and has to be processed to B&W. So you will have to concentrate on composition...

Jake, I like your idea as much as I'd hate having to do it. I'll just speak for myself so if other mods want to input their feelings. I can only tell you that it's hard enough to get all moderators to cast their preference when the month ends that it would take years if we'd have to wait for...

For me it would be this one done with my D700 and 55 Ais 1.2.

Congratulations to AxeMan-RickS. BackdoorHippie Pretzel pictaker64 and Marcel for winning the Abstract challenge. The selections was made considering "likes" given and moderators selections. Thanks to all participants for your patience for these results. I hope you did enjoy this...

@RussTnail & @Dooku77, make sure to check your camera "Picture Control" settings in order to have the proper in camera sharpening. The sharpening should be set to 7 or above and some cameras come with a setting of 4. This should give you a sharper shot. Now please note that this setting will...

April 26th, visit to the nursery until spring really springs in.

Third and last entry. Spring is just not here yet so we went to the nursery. D600, 24-70 2.8

If I understand your questions correctly, you are looking to have a different perspective than what you are getting with your present lens. Now there are two avenues you can go with. The super-wide angle (10-20, 8-16 or 12-24) that would give you a much wider field of view, or the telephoto...
