    hark 2021

    I shot at f/22 to capture detail in the sun's rays as well as depth of field. Little did I know my sensor was dirty - actually that's an understatement! The right side of the image had more spots than I've ever seen on a sensor. :beguiled:

    Roy's 365 for 2021

    Roy, did you upload these using the Insert Image feature, or did you upload them to the gallery to share? The reason I'm asking is because the EXIF is definitely there but isn't being displayed in the original posts. And what size are you using for the long side? All of these are 999px - but...

    hark 2021

    These are from Saturday, January 30th before this snow storm rolled through. We've had snow for about 2 days now. Frozen surf from a local lake. Canada Goose. When I posted on Facebook, I labeled this as a Canadian Goose. I was corrected by a Canadian friend that these are a Canada Goose. :)

    Macro adventure begins

    I took the liberty of downloading your photo and opened it in Camera RAW (same tools as Lightroom). Take a look at your histogram. That area inside the red circle shows you have a great deal of room to increase your whites which will raise your exposure. If you look on the panel, there is a...

    Macro adventure begins

    For best results, a 4-way focusing rail will yield better images. Those allow you to focus right to left as well as front to back. I believe they also make 2-way rails if cost is a factor. This Cowboy Studio 4-way rail has been recommended by members here. The one I have is made by Oben but is...

    This maybe my first new lens and would like an opinion

    Here are a couple posts that might be helpful for you. @Marcel mentioned using a close up filter here. Maybe he can weigh in on how his works and any pros/cons with using one. Marcel, does the AF work when using your close up filter? The following quote comes from this thread. And here is an...

    Image insert

    Not able to upload more than one when using Chrome. The option to 'allow' flash is no longer present with Chrome. :( So I switched to Firefox. I had to click on a prompt that asked if I wanted to run an outdated version of Flash that would probably affect performance. That's the only way I could...

    Rookie photog looking for advice from fanatics

    Hi and welcome. Off the top of my head, I can't think of any member who has both a z6 and a D750. @Danno has the z6 along with a D700 so hopefully he can help shed some light on your questions. I have a D750 which is an absolutely amazing camera. One of its benefits is having 2 card slots...

    Portable Hard Drives

    Question for those who back up files onto a hard drive - do you leave the hard drive attached to the computer, or do you remove it every time you are finished backing up? In the past I've used smaller portable drives but now have a 5TB drive (and know I should still back up to multiple devices)...

    Any opinions on Nikon 80-200mm f/2.8 vs 70-300mm f/4-5.6 ED?

    I have this lens, BF Hammer. It is quite sharp. Not only were the first and last images taken at 200mm, all of these images were heavily cropped from the originals - and all taken with a D750. As with any lens, there are going to be slight differences in how one performs vs. an identical copy...

    Any opinions on Nikon 80-200mm f/2.8 vs 70-300mm f/4-5.6 ED?

    What about the Nikon 70-200mm f/4 VR? You can add the optional tripod collar which helps balance the weight. It isn't nearly as heavy as the 70-200mm f/2.8 VR. https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/897230-REG/Nikon_2202_NIKKOR_AF_S_70_200mm_f_4_0G.html

    Roy's 365 for 2021

    Roy, I saved your photo and will upload it from my computer. The EXIF is definitely attached to the file. Let's see if it displays correctly for me. If it does, then it has to be something on your end. The only difference is I changed the file name to Roy Raptor so I could find it quickly.

    Members having problems posting pictures

    I tend to watch Comcast Xfinity streaming (internet streaming provider) rather than watching TV. Since I use Chrome, I always have to go in and Allow Flash to run. When I did that just now, this is the prompt I received. Are you using Chrome as your browser, Roy? If so, maybe try Firefox and see...

    Setting F-Stop/aperture manually without sub-commnd dial?Hi All,

    Ugh. I use the +/- button on the top to increase/decrease exposure, but that requires the use of the rear dial. I don't know if there is any way to reprogram the EV compensation to use the front dial instead of the rear. If it's possible, hopefully either @FredKingston or @nickt can explain how...
