    D800 focus - AF button vs. pressing shutter release button

    Has anyone else noticed that using the AF button on the back of the D800 tends to give much better and faster focus than using the shutter release button? I was playing around with it the other day shooting Harbor seals and found that using the AF button was much more reliable in quickly finding...

    Taylor Lake, CA

    Taylor lake is a holding pond off of the Colorado River as it traverses the Sonoran desert near Yuma. The desert on each side of the river/lake area is extremely dry and hot but when you walk near the river/lake the humidity goes from ~5% to 99% in as few as 10 steps. It's unlike anything I've...

    USB Flash drive that fits in the Nikon USB port?

    Does anyone know if there exists a flash drive (ie - thumb drive for old folks like me) that will fit in the Nikon USB port? And if not, might there exist a connector/converter that will allow a flash drive to connect directly to the camera? It would be so darn handing to quickly back up your...

    Photographic styles - what is the "style" of the 2010's?

    Photography seems to go thru clear periods in which there's a certain style that's associated with that age. For instance, in the 1960's it was all about the fish-eye, then in the 1970's it was the "zoomy" effect and nearly everyone was doing the "zoomy" photos. And then in the late 90's- early...
