Hi if I have a cam that can do macro and super macro. What does that mean? is it really macro? or do the pics come out the same. But not to a purist? what would the the pic look like and are these "macros" pseudo macros" aka an illusion?

I don't own this cam anymore. Gave it to a lifelong friend. I have to take pics of a Christening I guess in a church and he told me not to bring my cam. Data card/cable reasons. If anyone can help, what should I do? Keep the presets. I configured it for him beforehand. Go Auto all the...

Howdy, I was thinking about this today. Is it a good idea to buy a lens mountadapter in order to use other manufacturers lens? Do they work? Are there any drawbacks? I was looking at some prices at lens and I see that Sony and Pentax are cheaper overall than Nikon. So if I go out and buy an...

Hi I have a question. Would an a prime at 35mm fixed ap 1.6-8 be better for shooting freedom or a macro at ? be better? Is there such a thing as a "pure" macro lens at that "size" thanks

Good afternoon, it is here anyways lol. This camera is kind of bugging me but I think it's a setting issue. I have the kit lens on 18-55mm and I shoot in P mostly. ISO-A is flashing on my screen. And subject is too dark and the question mark thingy at the bottom left of the screen. I had a...

Hi, I have a Nikon D5000 which I just picked up. I'm having problems with a manual focus lens. The pics are coming out too dark all the time and out of focus. It's a nikkor 75-240mm 4.5-5.6 D aperture set on 32 and locked. I put the camera in Manual and adust aperture in camera and play...

Hi, I just started using this program to edit,pp. The camera saves my jpeg large at 1.5mb. However let's say i do an edit or 2 with fast stone the files are now down to 1.23mb. And I just posted an edited jpeg that is down to 512mb. That's like 2/3's of the file size gone. The saved images with...

This obviously isn't my painting and all credit goes to Leonardo Da Vinci, I asked permission if I could post a picture of someone's work and they said as loing as I give credit. I cropped out the frame and played with saturation and contrast. I used a polarizer and had to shoot off to the left...

too dark? Level?

not my fav, but it's a close second. My fav had issues with the other area of the room showing. I took a bunch and tried a few things

I'm not going away, but some of the responses have been from people in the field and many years of experience etc. I enjoy the board. But it is overwhelming. I didn't say the responses weren't great. But every poster has an opinion and they all count For instance, I put up the second pic to...

Hi Nikonites, I just picked up a camera D50 about 2 months ago. Hardly used and a lens on it at all times. I now see what looks like a piece of carpet fibre through the viewfinder. It's at 5 pm spot if it was a clockface. Can I get that out? Does it affect the picture at all or ignore it...

I hope I did this right, never mind the dust and the speaker wire. Thanks

Hello Nikonites, I have been looking at these 2 lens Tamron AF 70-300MM F4-5.6 DiLD Sigma 70-300mm F4-5.6 SLD DG Does anyone have experience with either of the two? They are almost the same price. I'm going to trade in a couple of oldie lens to make the purchase, and I shoot outdoor/wildlife...

Hi I plan on going to the Zoo in the spring and questions regarding fence/mesh. I've been looking/studying stuff about said issue. Use your smallest aperture and manual focus. Is that the way to go? Any other insights please. And I'm debating raw vs JPEG. I know the benefits of raw and and...

Hi, I have a d50 and new to dslr's. I can't for the hell of me get a picture to focus for real close up's on my camera. I have a tammy lens 24-200mm 3.5-5.6 autofocus. I put something on the floor and put the setting to the "flower" icon. And the camera won't focus, even in auto. My nikkor...
