    Focus Rails--what to look for

    Since Pretzel wrote about his newly acquired Sigma macro lens, I've been thinking more about macro photography myself. One thing I lack is a focus rail. What are features to consider? And does it matter what type of tripod head is being used? I own 2 different tripods that take completely...

    Walmart frames

    In one of Rick M 's threads, I mentioned how Walmart has some nice frames for decent prices. Walmart's frames may not be conducive for those looking to sell framed photos, but if anyone is looking to give a framed photo as a gift, some of these are a very nice quality. All photos are sooc from...

    Returning refurbished D7100

    plastic mount kit lens / repair ??

    @rocketman122 recently wrote a thread on a plastic mount that continually broke. Not sure if he's changed the mounts himself. The metal mounts are the way to go if they make one to fit your lens...

    Shutter Speed for the D750

    I'm having a brain fart. :concern: Do I remember reading you auto-tuned your lenses while they were wide open near the long end? :confused: I wrote a post about that after reading an Amazon review where the guy said to auto-tune that way. Logically it makes sense. Yet I thought @BackdoorHippie...

    Monthly Assignments -- What do you think?

    I'm a little late to the party. ;) As others mentioned, I came here because Nikonites is a Nikon forum. There are scads of photography forums out there as well as scads of photo contests that are open to many manufacturers, but there are few contests dedicated to Nikon cameras. When @jdeg...

    Looking for free non-photography website

    I'd like to set up a free website for my neighborhood watch but have no clue which freebie sites are good. I created a Google web site only to have Google disable it. I tried linking local news articles on the main page, but apparently they don't allow links from other urls to be used. :( In...

    Color help please.

    Be sure to check out the color of the area I circled. The reflection has a greenish color to it which reminds me of mold. I can understand the 2 trees/bushes having a greenish reflection, but not the entire thing. Sorry to post a screen shot but just wanted you to be aware.

    How do you edit fog photos?

    Today I took a few fog photos which, to the best of my knowledge, is the first time I've done so. I shot RAW+jpeg and converted the RAW to DNG. Here is a SOOC jpeg of an image which is quite similar to how the scene looked (resized for the forum was the only post processing done). I used...

    Jeff Cable, a photographer who has shot the Olympics as well as other sporting events--normally a Canon shooter--was asked to come up with some drone footage to be displayed in B&H's store. There are some impressive sights in the video although the music tends to be repetitive.

    18-35mm f/3.5-4.5G Weather Sealing

    I bought the Nikon 18-35mm f/3.5-4.5G lens knowing people said it isn't weather sealed, yet it has the rubber gasket on the rear end, and some online sites state it is weather sealed. So my question is what constitutes a weather sealed lens? Are there also internal areas that need weather...
