Well as I'm writing it's been 2 hours and 15 minutes without a cigarette! I estimate that eguals at least nine cigarettes I haven't smoked! :) But it's hard going, and I have to consciously watch that I don't lite up without thinking about it. I don't know of anything I can do that will help...

OK! I quit smoking with the incouragement of my friends at 7:30 pm eastern time here in the US! The first Ten minutes was done with me constantly glancing over at the clock telling myself "You can do this" over and over like a mantra! The second ten minutes went by painlessly, and I can't...

Ok , to cut right to the point. I'm a smoker and have been for decades, but my wife has quit due to her illness.

I've been thinking of doing a small amount of the business end of photography. No not to make a lot of money really, but maybe to help fund my hobby a bit. I was thinking one of the ways to help fund it would be to write off new gear on my taxes. But I'm wanting to know what I'd need to do to...

Hey all! :D Does anybody have any recommendations for a strap that can be hooked to a blackrapid shoulder strap to support a lens? I have a temporary strap, but I need something made for this purpose that works better. If I have to, I might be able to make something to fill the bill. But I'd...

I'm interested in buying a Nikkor AF 80-400mm d lens, if I can manage the cost. So is anyone here interested in selling one? If so, for how much, and what kind of shape is it in?

Hi all! :) I'm looking into possibly getting into shooting wildlife, but this is not a subject matter I'm experienced with. I've been loving checking out the squirl shots I've seen posted, and we have a bunch of squirls around my area, so this is one type of wildlife subject I'll likely be...

OK, I need a 35mm for my D300 DX camera pretty badly! Here is my delema. I have been trying to stick to FX lenses so my lenses will work on both my D300 and whatever FX camera I end up getting(likely a D700). But it cost twice the price for a used AF-D 35mm than it does for a new AF-S DX 35mm...

Just now I had an idea I'm thinking about. But I won't keep you in suspense while I'm thinking about it. I'm thinking of awarding a prize to the person who can and does help me to get a D700 right away on payments. Sorta like a commission for arranging my getting a good D700!:) I'm considering...

I seem to be drawn to prime lenses. When choosing a lens to use I always seem to lean towards prime lenses. I've heard that zoom lenses can be awesome these days, so why am I stuck on prime lenses? Are my zoom lenses not very good? Or is it just me? I love the idea of zoom lenses but when it...
