This might be the sharpest Nikon lens - bar none - that I've used. I also have the 6.7-13mm, 10-30mm and 30-110mm. The 10-30mm is by far the least sharp of any of them. Which lens did you get? There is a 10-100mm f/4.0-5.6 VR and a 10-100mm f/4.5-5.6 VR PD.

It was raining on a recent visit to Porto, Portugal so I only brought my V1 when we visited the port wine tasting rooms. YUM! Oh, right photography. . . the section of Porto near the river is called Gaia. During a break in the rain, I took 4 images resulting in the pano below. I created the...

Okay, yesterday was so much fun with the critique of my V1 image from Plaça de Ramon Berenguer El Gran, I thought we could try again! This image is from earlier the same day of a fountain in the cloister of the Barcelona Cathedral (Catedral de la Santa Cruz y Santa Eulalia). I captured the image...

Great advice. . . I was trying to isolate too much. . . I think keeping the background a bit lighter accomplishes this better. I had another capture that was captured vertically and created this based on your (and Helene's) feedback. I like it! Wow that is waaay outside the box and...

I use the Nikon AH-N1000 with my V1 and am very pleased with it. I purchased it for around US$15 from B&H.

Excellent observation and along the same lines as my concerns. The other crop that I had made (below) is maybe too aggressive?

I also posted the image below in this critique thread.

My wife actually first noticed the reflection caused by the statue lighting in the Plaça de Ramon Berenguer El Gran in Barcelona. I had my V1 with us and tried to capture it. My question for critique is whether the bottom part of the image is too busy and if I should crop? I left it in because I...

I took the Nikon V1 and 1 Nikkor 18.5/f1.8 to the public market in Barcelona known as La Boqueria a couple weeks ago. All images were shot in RAW and post processed in LR4. The 18.5 is the "nifty fifty" equivalent for the Nikon 1 series and fast becoming a favorite lens.

The challenge I see with cropping this image is the brightness of the sun. My first instinct is to crop the top of the clouds off (10-15% of the top of the image). A tough decision is whether the lower right corner stays or goes. I think I would crop for a pano effect. I downloaded the file...

My wife and I were recently in Palma de Mallorca and took the famous electric train to Sóller. As we were in the last downhill tunnel, one of the brakes seized. The conductor came through the cars and said that the repair would take 5-10 minutes but that the electricity would be out. The only...

Re: Stop Action Fountain in Lisbon I wasn't asking you to delete the post and wasn't offended. (Feel free to undelete it.) My view says that editing was NOT ok. Do you see something different?

Not sure if this effect works or not and would appreciate feedback and opinions. I tried to use a fast shutter speed to capture individual water droplets on a fountain in Lisbon while blurring the background as much as possible.

My wife and I made a day trip to the Douro Valley from Porto yesterday. The rain was moving into the valley. This is a 4 image pano made with Autopano Giga, saved as a TIFF, cropped in PS CS6 with color adjustment via Color Efex Pro, imported into LR4 and exported to resize, add frame and...

Another spot to add to your photography bucket list: Catedral de Santa María de Palma de Mallorca (La Seu). The light through the stain glass is awe inspiring. The sunlight is so bright that it creates patterns inside the cathedral. A few images from my wife and I today. The last is a HDR using...

Another example from yesterday in the market in Barcelona. Turning out to be a great walk around lens!

Why not just use Preview!

The 18.5mm is turning out to be a great close-up lens. I was about 12 inches away and slightly cropped the image. I can't see any reason to get the FT1. Similar view stopped down and not so close:
