Hi folks, I've been hired to take company headshots and was wondering if you had any recommendations on backdrops (portable or canvas). The feeling that I get from traditional headshots are the lightly patterned gray backgrounds which I'd like to replicate. I will be taking these photos on...

And I noticed that you get a visual and audio focus confirmation when manually focusing! The central focus square illuminates red and beeps at you. Having been raised with Nikon cameras since my childhood this seems like an astonishingly wonderful and pleasant tool compared to the "green dot and...

J-see I'm not worried about lights setting the tree on fire lol-- just me and a battery with live wires HAHA! @Eyelight yeah, I was thinking Christmas lights and a star for the top. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Hi guys, I want to try to light an evergreen tree in the middle of a forest however I don't know how I would be able to power the lights when not near any power. Are there any ideas, car battery to AC wall plug jacks or other ideas that I could use to accomplish this? Thanks, ​Pan

Picked up my little sister from the airport today. Decided to hand down my D7000 and 35mm f/1.8 DX to my her for Christmas because she gave me my gift early, socks :) When she got it, she tried it out and noticed there's no zoom. I sat her down excitedly and taught her about the exposure...

I've never posted images here on Nikonites before but I felt like sharing one of my favorite shots. I finally got around to cleaning it in Lightroom.

oes anyone have recommendations for an ultra-wide angle prime well suited for astrophotography? As long as coma is under control and it is 24mm or less? The entire range of Rokinon lenses seem to fair and well but I was wondering about native Nikon alternatives : )

Hi guys, does anyone have and good experiences with Light Meter App vs a Tangible Light Meter? How accurate is the phone app vs a real DSLR's built in lightmeter. Pay or Free I don't really mind. I'll be using Pocket Light Meter for now to see how it goes. I can compare DSLR vs LightMeterApp but...

Hi everyone, I was asked by the CEO of my company to take some photos in order to update the company website. The photos would include some images of the buildings and images of staff working with fake clients inside them. This would include anywhere between 12~20 edited photos. I've...

Hi, If I have a 35mm DX Lens on a DX camera I will have a FoV of 52.5 (~50mm for ease). What are the differences between using a 35mm DX on a crop sensor camera and a 50mm on an FX camera. Are there any differences in the depth of field/bokeh that I will get? Thanks, Pan

Good things come to those who wait. The Sony full-frame E-mount is new but lenses are coming out here and there, but according to Sony it's here to stay. I have an A7 as a walk around / traveling camera and I love it. The Sony Trinity that @sonicbuffalo mentioned is quite brilliant (a trinity...

Hi guys, I have a wedding to shoot this Friday and I'm a bit nervous about making dancing shots look interesting. After the important parts happen (speeches, cake, father daughter dance, etc.) and everyone hits the dance floor I suddenly don't know what to do. The slow structured pace of the...

Hi, I have the 80-200mm f/2.8 d and it has suited me fairly well over the years, but the one thing that it is not is .. well, convenient. I was considering the 85mm f1.8/d as a lightweight alternative for my full frame camera set up or completely replacing it with the 85 f1.4/D which is the same...

Hi guys, I'm a little lost from my experiences this year and appreciate some help. TLDR; When did you start becoming happier with your photography? After how long were you shooting for when you felt this way? I had been shooting with one digital camera for years, then my cellphone camera...

I have 5 bikes, I generally carry my camera only on my single speed road bike, hybrid grocery basket, and cyclocross bikes. I've been using backpacks thus far. : ) I really like @carguy 's set up. My shocks in the hybrid are upfront so it bumps less than in the rear and I never thought of using...

So I'm an avid bicyclist, and I log a couple hundred miles a week. I've carry my D7000 in my backpack when I go cycling for leisure. Today I was a bit more focused on photographing things ... definitely not for the monthly Nikon challenge or anything. 10 miles into the ride, I thought to myself...

Hi everyone, I'm a bit confused at the focal lengths of the 1Nikkor lenses. I've been trying to read reviews and the term "equivalent" pops up often. 10-30mm is equivalent to a 27-82mm. Does this mean that shooting with a a focal length of 10mm on a 1Nikkor camera will feel like shooting at a...

Hello friends, I try to combine two passions at time by shooting what I love. In reverse, I like to ride the cycle to places and shoot what I see. At the moment I take my general camera bag, velcro strap it to the back of my motorcycle and ride on. Haven't had any issues with it going through...

Hello everyone! I'm sorry to bother you all with another one of these silly threads. I've been enjoying photography as a hobbyist for some 4 or more years. Within the past year and a half I've been more invested in photography and find myself attending or being hired to do more events. I think...
