    My lovely D800 has returned

    Yay!! She's back home again. Nikon replaced the shutter mechanism and box, adjusted the AF left focus issue (yet to be verified) and cleaned the sensor. Thankfully my dealer made a huge fuss about this camera and after less than 4 months the shutter goes so if anything else occurs during the...

    D7000's tendency to over expose - I see it now

    For nearly a week now I've been using my D7000 while my D800 is visiting its maker and I now see exactly what people were talking about when they claimed the D7000 matrix metering tends to over expose images.

    MCAS Miramar Air show - great show but it killed my D800...

    It was an awesome show but by the end my D800 kicked the bucket after only 3 1/2 months. But at least I got some great images. It started off with the "Patriots" squad in what I believe are F-14's. And then there was a mix of various airplanes and helicopters...
