Dang... Sony ups XQD write speeds to 168MB/s with new S Series memory cards | The Verge

If you ever needed a reason to buy the new CS6 Photoshop, the "content aware move tool" is it! I was playing around with the image I took a few weeks ago of my grand daughter at her dance class. I didn't like the arm that shows up in the far right side of the image. Via la! Gone! Pretty cool, huh?

Took this a few nights ago to test out the D800's resolution D800; 70-399mm; f5.6; ISO-100; 1/250 sec

I found this website this morning while reading a thread on a photo contest site. A "photographer" posted a beautiful photo of kids playing with a can that ultimately won the contest. Days later it was pointed out the photo was stolen. It's hard to imagine someone entering a contest with a...

Here's an example of the D800 auto-focus on a moving subject. 70-300mm; f-5.6; ISO-100; 1/800 sec ...I love this camera

I have several Nikon digital cameras and have never considered removing the plastic LCD cover, however, it might be nice to have it more usable with less glare than it currently has. Also, as was pointed out to me, on pg 17 of the Nikon D7000 users manual states that the plastic cover is only...

After reviewing the site, I think this where I should be posting images I'd like to share. This was taken in an old mining ghost town on the Colorado river called Picacho. D7000; 14-24mm; f/2.8; ISO-1250; 30 sec

I thought I'd share an image I took of the Venus transit last month. I used a wielding mask and held it in front of my lens. I'm not sure if this is where I'd want to post it or not but it was in very low light (due to the extremely dark glass). The largest dark spot is Venus, the other spots...

My first weekly challenge so it may or may not be appropriate for this challenge (still learning) - I took this image from the Ocean Beach pier D7000; 70-300mm; f/5.6; ISO-100; 1/200 sec

As much as I like my D800, I really wish the shutter wasn't so darn loud and clunky. Even on quiet mode the shutter is overtly loud. While my D7000 was having its mirror box replaced due to oil spots (big thanks to my local Nikon rep for comp'ing me for this work. I've read that Nikon officially...

Well, figured I'd throw my hat into the ring. This is a photo of my 2 1/2 yr old granddaughter at her dance class. Processed w/ Lightroom 4 and Silver Efex pro 2 D7000; Nikkor 85mm f/1.8G; ISO = 800, f-stop = 2, 1/200 sec

Just a quick FYI for those considering picking up a copy of the new 28mm f/1.8G lens, my recommendation is to run, not walk, to the nearest dealer and buy this lens. It's a repeat of the 85mm f/1.4G vs 85mm f/1.8G and the 50mm f/1.4G vs. 50mm f/1.8G, where the cheaper lens is head and shoulders...

Is there any real reason a D800 shooter would prefer a CF card over an SD card? I've a ton of very fast SD cards from owning a D7000 but my CF cards date back to my D70s, which I'm sure are far too slow for the D800. In addition, the CF cards tend to be +2x the price of SD cards. I realize that...

I just gotta say now at day 3 of having a D800 it's official - This is the most amazing camera I have ever shot with. The auto-focus is beyond perfect, the color rendition is phenomenal and it fits perfectly in hand. Clearly the EXPEED 3 is a much better processor than the EXPEED 2. That said, I...

I purchased a used but in excellent condition 60mm micro a few months ago and I've noticed that it does something that my other lenses do not. In either manual or aperture mode I can adjust the f to 2.8 as long as the focus subject is a fair distance away. However if I focus on a close subject...
