FWIW, they say Tamron 150-600mm Nikon is in stock, for regular price, and I just ordered one (B&H still no go at nearly 4 months). Says it will ship today. Tamron SP AF150-600mm F/5-6.3 Di LD IF Telephoto Zoom Lens for Nikon (FREE GROUND SHIPPING) - Monoprice.com Monoprice has toggled in/out...

We hear way too much about NOT using f/16 or f/22 because of diffraction limits due to our sensors pixel size. Sure, f/8 is a great general plan, do it when you can. Nevertheless, there are obviously many times when f/16 or f/22, and maybe f/32, can heroically and drastically help our depth...

Now and then, every couple of weeks maybe, I see something like this here... In main forum menu (where I am currently seeing a BestBuy ad for Sony 4K), and I click a forum link (don't recall which one now- was sort of a surprise) - I get a large popup, this time addressed as ad124m.adk2.net...

Best Lenses For Video - Nikon Cinema Nikon posted this to be about lenses for video, but the groupings seem a good discussion of lenses for general purposes too. It does not mention DX or macro lenses, but the rest are here. I liked the article. Now of course, I do tend to argue with...

Organization of these flash details has always seemed a tough job. There are a few situations to cover. I added this new section to Four Flash Photography Basics we must know - Flash pictures are Double Exposures which I hope covers some high spots briefly. I worry it may be too...

I'm not sure about how the duck colors match up..

FYI: This site: Test your server for Heartbleed (CVE-2014-0160) says nikonites.com is still vulnerable to the heartbleed security bug? Article is here: How to protect yourself from the 'Heartbleed' bug - CNET

I guess this forum must be the place for this... FWIW, I put a short video online about Why Shoot Raw? Because, my own notion is that beginners simply don't have any idea of what Raw can do for their pictures, no clue how they would use Raw. The word EDIT is involved, which scares away...

I've always liked this one

I have posted a "review" of the Yongnuo YN-565EX speedlight at Mini-Review of the Yongnuo YN-565EX Speedlight I like it. Fully featured, fully powered. There are one or two little things (and any warranty seems very unlikely), but it seems impossible for the price. Even if it did not do...

Any ideas about best video focus mode? I'm using the Wide Area AF choice, but panning the camera around is the pits, from all the seeking back and forth. I know all the reasons that is very difficult, but little camcorders do much better. I know their tiny lens and sensor gets near infinite...

Proposal: Nikon seriously needs to make two important flash improvements in the camera firmware. 1. Put the TTL vs TTL BL flash selection choice in the camera firmware. It is a camera function, the camera does this metering. Only one of the current flashes (SB-910) even still offers TTL...

There are always many questions about "Which flash to buy"? This depends of course... Those answering will say "I like this one", or "I have that one", but it seems impossible to answer without knowing how YOU will use YOUR flash? No one ever mentions this when asking. And you may not even...

I have redone an article on Soft Light, at Four Flash Photography Basics we must know - Soft Light I believe it is better now, to show the basic concepts of the lighting we try to do with hot shoe flash.

I offer an article about selecting flash at Beginners Guide to Select a Camera Flash - and Comparing Power Rating of Flash Units with Guide Numbers Not specific, but it includes these things: How much flash and features we may need. Has charts comparing power levels of Nikon flash models...

Nikon iTTL DSLR have used three methods of camera Auto ISO behavior with flash: 1. All those camera models in the D70 to D300 era (2004 to 2009), all left Auto ISO at Minimum value if any TTL flash was present (because we were using flash after all). These would only increase ISO if the TTL...

If interested, I added a very simple demonstration of TTL BL direct flash, showing how it is protected by D lens distance in a good case (meaning, which is sometimes accurate, and sadly sometimes not, sometimes it is worse. Primes are better than zooms). Flash Indoors And also showing...
