    Autofocus Question

    I get very confused with the autofocus choices so want to know if I am doing it right With my Tamron 150-600mm (shooting birds) I usually use shutter priority as I want a fastish shutter speed. I set my focus to "focus tracking with lock-on" and then leave it at "normal" when the next menu...

    Create a panorama in Photoshop CS6/CC

    Someone suggested I do a tutorial on creating a panorama and as I recently learnt how to fill edges rather than crop, I thought I'd share how it is done Create a Panorama in Photoshop CS6/CC This is purely the creating of the panorama. No editing included as we all have our individual editing...

    Lens/Body dilemma

    I have a D80 and a D7100 I have a Tamron 18-270mm zoom and the Tamron 150-600mm zoom I am going whale watching on Friday. I'd like to try the 150-600mm zoom out but want to take the 18-270mm zoom as back up in case I find I can't handle the weight against boat movement with the 150-600 lens...

    Focal Point

    OK...I seem to have inadvertently changed some setting that controls the focal point. In autofocus, if I hold the button half way down, the focal point jumps all about. It has never done this before. So what might I have changed do you think? It's just that I find it a bit disconcerting.

    Nikkor 105mm macro lens and extension rings

    I did this to see what extra I could get by putting extension rings behind my 105mm macro lens I had to do it handheld as I don't have a fine adjustment setup for my tripod so the focus is not fantastic, but looking at how much of the coin is visible, you can see how much closer you can get to...

    Manual Focus

    Can any of you D7100 users give me some tips on manual focus with my camera please? I have found great articles etc on using the auto focus but I am now trying to manually focus all the time, and am finding that the focus point gets in the way of good vision for focusing. How do the rest of you...
