The issue is that the lens is of the type that needs an autofocus motor in the camera body in order to use the AF mode. A D3000 is one of the low-end bodies that saves on cost and size by omitting that motor. The higher-end bodies starting about the D7000 range (or D70/D80/D90 before it) have...

It is Thanksgiving and I am running a little behind in my annual calendar creation. My Christmas gifts every year for family and coworkers is my own photo calendar. I did a quick search and I see @hark mentions having made custom calendars. I have used 4 different printers since 2010 for doing...

Hi Frank, and welcome. Clovis gave a good answer about RAW. I like to think of shooting JPEG as being like shooting Polaroids. You can take some nice photos, but you are limited on making adjustments with processing. RAW files are more like working with print negatives. You would not really show...

Only had a minute before the defrosters ruined the photo, so Samsung work-issued phone had to take the pic. I had used windshield washer fluid to clear the overnight frost, and it then flash-froze to this pattern.

Brent I use firefox mostly exclusively. I had no real issues. You may want to empty your cache if not tried already. I tried adding a post to the iPhone thread with a picture of my frosty windshield. Might still be awaiting moderator approval. And yes that site search module will be wanted...

If there is a "to do" list in progress, I hope adding a search module is on that. Been trying to search for the old thread with cellphone images.:)

It even looks nice on my phone. Can't wait to check it out on a computer browser tonight. After 2 days of 404 errors, I had feared the worst and almost given up.

Along the Wisconsin River at Sauk City, WI

Infrared-converted Nikon Coolpix 995.

Here is M42 Orion Nebula and Triangulum Galaxy which I photographed in 2020. I cannot recall the entire exposure time, but I am sure I was shooting less than 60 images at 45 seconds each or perhaps a bit longer. I think I had things dialed in so well on the night of Triangulum that I was...

Nice job working at 3 hours of exposure data. There are a few threads with m42, Andromeda Galaxy, Triangullum Galaxy, and some others. I know I started a couple, but none have DSO or deep space in the text to search. Just go back 2-4 pages in this subject area. @blackstar : his telescope was a...

My new Nikonmobile. Closed on it Wednesday. Low-mile 2020 Hyundai Santa Fe. Replaced a 2001 Buick LeSabre. It died 140 miles from home after bleeding out all of it's brake fluid, and being towed to a dishonest auto repairer. Too much money required with getting the car moved to home area...

@blackstar : It is even more important to be able to balance the lens on a longer size Arca plate when using any sort of gimbal head. You are going to find out quickly that the lens foot will still want to twist free from that Arca plate because there is only one possible place to attach a...

How about a beetle in infrared?

I have to admit I struggle still with some things with this camera. Two weeks ago I tried taking Milky Way photos, but rediscovered that you cannot use the intervalometer in manual mode. It rudely reminded me I needed to be in A or P mode to use the feature. I started a sequence in A mode as I...

This one taken shooting in the direction of light pollution. Over the elevation rise on the lower right corner the Sun Prairie Corn Festival is going on with the Sunday night midget car racing right then. It was an experiment for the location, I have a December photo in mind of the Orion segment...

My mother picked up a Kodak Bulls-Eye that shot medium-format 620 film from a rummage sale for me to use. I think I was in 4th grade at the time. My parents did not really put limits on me other than only sending the film to be processed in lab about 2-3 times a year. I took photography class...

River by a wayside. Between Portage and Baraboo, WI

A couple of honeybees and a beetle.

I just want to resurrect this one for future research purposes. I took out 2 cameras last night to a spot on the edge of my hometown. I shot into a light polluted area. The Milky Way was positioned south where there was a neighborhood on the other side of some higher ground. With my D750 +...
