Here is a shot I took last year. I had just stepped outside and saw a heron. I hadn't set the camera yet, but just put the camera up and took a quick shot without thinking. I ended up having a shutter speed way slower than I'm comfortable holding and I had some exposure comp dialed in and ended...

I was going to do this. Either make my own setup or get a thing off ebay. I think it would work. We ended up getting a scanner, so I dropped the idea. This was my quick feasibility test. I held the negative up to a window and took a macro shot hand held with my other hand. I inverted the colors...

I clearly see a difference in Paul's crops. I see no difference in Cindy's original pictures on my laptop screen, they both look like Paul's sRGB crop, neither looks under saturated like the aRGB crop. On my tablet I can zoom in and still see no difference, both look great. I downloaded the two...

This would be hilarious, but it's very insensitive to those of us with H-A-S.;) :cheerful: That short handled one on top is brand new by the way! ...and there is not really a hammeruser dot com forum :(

Brown and White Striped Beetle - aka False Potato Beetle - Leptinotarsa juncta

Vacation pic. Fort Popham, Popham Beach, Maine. A Civil War era coastal defense fortification.

Did you see my posts #6 and 11 above? Pretty much what I have been saying. The lens keeps things "on" until the lens OS times out. Here's what my lens sheet says. This excerpt from my sheet and the thing you found are just horrible translations trying to say the lens OS will keep the camera...

I live on a small lake. This is what I see out my back door. The neighbors that live on the little peninsula across the cove do a small unauthorized fireworks display every 4th of July. Last night was my first serious attempt at trying to capture fireworks. I zoomed out and raised the exposure...

I went through my old pics and found this taken with the Tamron 70-300 SP lens. Not my best but shows what you could expect with a 300. This is cropped and processed. Looking back, maybe too much. This is the untouched original:

New York in quiet lake area. Some kind of grebe?

When I shoot that lens, I don't limit the iso. Its a personal choice though. If I get a crappy picture, oh well. It would have been worse if iso was limited since I am in manual and already at minimum settings. Sometimes I'll shoot animals in the back yard. In that case I often use flash and I...

Ah, yes I forgot. That is a downside, you need to hit 'something' to exit the feature. For me, I just tap my bbf or 1/2 shutter. Its become habit. Yes, @Vixen , it is on the d7100.

I'd crop something like this: If the bird is looking left or right, I like him looking into the frame. In other words, if your bird is looking to your right, place him in the left 1/3 of the frame. I have the sigma lens. I usually shoot it in manual mode with auto iso. I lock in at 1/1250...

I like blasting the birds at my maximum sync speed and not 'fill' flash. I set my d7200 at 1/320 and f8. Iso anywhere from 100 to 400. I prefer gloomy days because I can get blurry images from bright ambient light exposure at 1/320. On sunny days, I have to up the shutter speed but then you are...

Good glass is certainly worth having. A newer body will also do better in low light. I think D200 is max iso 1600. I took this shot the other day with my d7100. I knew it was getting dark, but just clicked a shot off to work on my raw possessing. I actually had my camera set wrong, I would not...

I have been seeing a notice on Amazon listings for cameras and lenses: What you need to know – This product has a serial number that uniquely identifies the item. When your order ships, Amazon will scan the serial number and add it to the history of this order. Should the item go missing before...

Needle and thread

Not sure what I have here. Small duck in New York area. Hanging near a flock of ringed neck ducks. Only two of these hanging together. Head looks like a black duck or mallard. It just seemed very compact though, short neck and low floating. Tail looks odd too. Smaller body, not as big as the...
