My wife and I went to the Jersey shore this weekend. And since it was a full moon I decided to do some night scenes. My tripod head has a problem that it still moves some when locked down so some did not turn out. I am guessing the breeze moved it. But a few did. Feedback welcome as it was my...

Hello all, I use a power chair and have struggles using a tripod. So I use a monopod a lot. I had tried a ball head on it and did not like it at all. Then I went without a head and it was OK but not ideal. Tried a one way swivel head made just for monopods and did not like that at all. Then I...

I can not decide which one I prefer. Color or black & white. Mill near Conowingo, MD. This was shot with my old Canon XTi. Before I switched back to Nikon. I just re edited them using Lightroom. Canon XTi. Canon 18-55 IS. ISO 100. F11. 1/30 sec. I need to go back and shoot it with my Nikon and...

Hello all, I was in my neighbors back yard to photograph my grand daughter in there pool so I just grabbed my 70-300 VR lens. I have not used it since I got my 200-500. When I got my 200-500 I knew it was a awesome lens. But until you go back to your older lens do you realize how good it is. I...

Last week I took my Nikon 200-500 lens out of its case. (Ape case. It stands up on its lens cap. But mostly I lay it down.) When I did I noticed the lens cap had come off in the case. I am always careful how I put it on and in the case so this does not happen. But it did. And unfortunately it...

Hello folks, I took my 200-500 out for the first time today. A little puzzled. I was shooting with my D300. My shutter speed was 1/1600 sec. ISO between 320-800. Most with a F stop of F8. I was shooting a Eastern Screech Owl sitting in a tree. Not moving at all. I took about 400 shots between...

I am so excited. I got my new lens today. Sold a bunch of stuff that was sitting around the house not getting used and raised enough for it. I can't wait to try it out. This is the biggest lens I have ever owned. The Nikon 200-500 ED VR. I look forward to sharing pictures with you all. There is...

Hi folks, Here is another which should I buy. I am saving for a long zoom and am not sure which to get. It is between the Sigma Contemporary 150-600, Tamron 150-600 and the Nikon 200-500. I shoot mostly birds, but do all kinds of shooting. Sports included. Which has the edge between the Tamron...

This is my son and his girlfriend. He asked me to take pictures of them I have not done portraits in 8 years and that was just one in 15 years. I shoot mostly critters and landscapes. At first I was very disappointed, but they have grown on me. I am a perfectionist and expect to much from me...

Hi all, Today has been a day where I just feel frustrated. Not one thing. But everything. Where I just want to walk out the front door. Well use my power chair out the back door. But you get my point. Even looking at my photos didn't help, until I came to my first real wild bird shots. And that...

It has become a tradition to take a picture of this church that is across the street from my house whenever I get a new piece of equipment. Finally had decent enough weather to take a shot with my D300 & 18-70G DX ED lens. Not bad for a quick shot. But I froze just taking a few shots of it.

My name is Bill from Denver, PA. My dad got me into photography when i was in high school. After I got married I took NYIP courses and bought my first good camera. A Nikon FE2 and that started it. I was a Nikon nut. Years later I lost all my gear through a unfortunat happenings. Years later I...
