I'm a little late to the party. ;) Went out to work with BIF and only took my D610, 300mm, and 1.4x teleconverter. This stream ran underneath the roadway. I immediately thought of this thread and wanted to kick myself for not taking my bag with other lenses, a tripod, and an ND filter. But...

Two years ago I posted this thread talking about converting a monopod head. I'm wondering if I find a supportive Arca Swiss monopod head that holds more than 5.5 pounds, would it be able to be converted to a different Manfrotto head...

When it comes to monopod heads, there are only a couple of choices for the quick release plates. Either they are Manfrotto or Arca Swiss. I happen to prefer my Manfrotto tripod head, but their monopod head isn't rated for too much weight. When I bought my Manfrotto 234RC Tilt Head, it was...

They do not come up with the exact measurements. I'm having trouble dialing in exactly 60 feet into TrueDoF-Pro. I either go over by 4" or at least 1" too short. But this is what I came up with as close as I could get to 60 feet: TrueDof-Pro also has a setting to turn on/off factoring in...

I've been looking for an easy DoF calculator app and finally found one I really like. Previously I've been using TrueDoF-Pro but much prefer the intuitive and easy layout of Simple DoF. Here is a screen shot from my phone showing how it works. This was set up for a 300mm lens on my D750, f/10...

Was out the other day working on BIF and found a bunch of seagulls. Up until @Woodyg3 mentioned differences between gulls, I never realized there was more than one variety. So can anyone tell me what the big one is on the right? I am assuming it is some type of gull (and I probably shouldn't...

This afternoon I went to Core Creek Park to shoot birds-in-flight. Since someone asked me to take photos of her son playing T-Ball, I need to work with moving subjects. BIF is easier said than done! :beguiled: Hopefully taking photos of a boy swinging a bat will be a little easier! :eek: These...

I set up all my bodies for U1 being BBF, Aperture Priority, AF-C, single point focus, and focus priority (instead of release priority). Today I worked on panning by following the birds. My focus point didn't move. As the birds flew, at times I couldn't keep the focus point on them. Is the focus...

This is the State Capitol Building in Trenton, New Jersey. There is a levee on the Pennsylvania side. I climbed part way up the levee which is the ground in the foreground.

Decided to upgrade to a 300mm f/4 PF with VR since my 300mm f/4 AF-S is so much heavier (I've been dealing with both trigger finger and trigger thumb in my right hand). I don't know why the EXIF doesn't list the lens as being the PF model. I did set the lens profile with the correct information...

This thread is addicting, isn't it?! ;) Did you come here to see what someone bought or to see whose money got taken? :loyal: Last summer I purchased a Nikon 300mm f/4 AF-S lens which I love; however, I struggle with its weight especially since I have both trigger finger and trigger thumb in my...

Being curious, I looked up info on the Korean Nikon D750. This comes from the following link (you will need to translate the page then click on the tab for product specification): D750 | Nikon Imaging Korea Screen shot from the above link:

While watching a Steve Perry video on the Nikon 300mm f/4 PF, he mentioned there was a service advisory issued for the early copies of the lens. Supposedly when mounted on the D8xx bodies, there is a problem when the VR is engaged at slower shutter speeds causing the images to be a little...

A short time ago, I received an email from B&H about the rewards I've earned from buying through them. It's been a very long time since I received any rewards from them, and I've bought a lot! I was stoked to see this! Wow! $528. My mind began racing through all the things I'd like to have...

I hope you don't mind, but I ran this image through PCC. Please understand my intention is only to show you the possibilities with the gear you have. First I went to ACR (Adobe Camera RAW) which uses the same tools as Lightroom. I added a little clarity, sharpening, and noise reduction (both the...

I set all 3 of my Nikons with BBF in U1 (Aperture Priority) and BBF U2 (Manual Mode) for the times I want to work with moving subjects. Tried it out this afternoon but didn't have too many chances with my dogs. What few moving images I took tell me this will require some work. This is our new...

Something I just noticed, which happens when using both Chrome and Firefox, is when I go to the Advanced reply option and choose to insert images, the URL indicates the site isn't secure. I can still access the advanced uploader but wonder if this has anything to do with the problem @wev is...

There are many threads discussing how to set up BBF, but I am having trouble understanding how to set it up for U1. Let's say I want BBF set for U1 and possibly have the camera in Aperture Priority. How do I specify Aperture Priority since U1 is a mode just like Aperture Priority? And if I do...

This is the other channel marker that is in the distance in one of the photos above. I don't go down here at night to know whether or not the red lights blink/flash regularly.
