I have been thinking about getting my daughter a 105mm micro Nikon lens for her birthday. It will currently be used on her D5600. I could save a little money and get the DX model, but I think that it's worth spending a little more and getting FX lenses in case she decides to move to a full frame...

As I have alluded to recently, my wife has had some health issues recently, and right now requires a good bit of care. This has interfered with my daughter and I making photo trips together for the last couple months. My wife is now home from a rehab facility (no, not that kind of rehab)...

I've been looking at different ways of displaying prints. Wondering what everyone else is doing and maybe some unique ideas. This is what I've looked at/done. 1. Mat and frame. This is the definitive method IMO. The biggest down side is cost. Unless you have a business license and can buy from...

This is about the difference between technical knowledge vs having an eye for an image and an ability to translate that to a two dimensional format. Case in point, I am the techie when it comes to photography. I can rattle off info about the mechanics of photography, but sometimes have trouble...

Yes, we all know we need to backup our important files. I'll do that next week. Clovispup had her laptop die on her yesterday. She had bought a large capacity thumbdrive recently and was planning on backing up her photos soon. We have be very busy the last several weeks with a family issue...

What is the experience of folks here about how fast a shutter speed it requires to stop the blur of hummingbird wings? My new Z5 goes to 1/8000 and I'm wondering if that will do it? I know, the tried and true is flash. I was thinking about putting up a feeder and trying to take some photos. I...

Playing around with the new Z5 and I ran across the HDR feature. Clovispup and I are planning on another trip to Boneyard Beach at sunrise tomorrow, and I'm thinking this might be a great candidate for HDR. I discovered that Lightroom has HDR merging using bracketed images. The Z5 has HDR in...

Posted here until admin creates a Z5 subforum. It is a very similar camera to the Z6. I've been lusting after a new camera for a little while now. I would love to have a Z7, but they are a little too much $$$ right now. I decided that the Z5 was a good compromise. Full frame, most of the neat...

For those of you who like to take bird pictures, but don't have the 600mm monster lens, or perhaps the desire to spend a ton of time in the field in the cold and rain, I have an idea for you. OK, some may consider this cheating, I respect that. If nothing else it will give you some nice pictures...

I'm starting to look down the road at upgrades. My daughter and I both are using crop sensor DSLRs. The resolution is decent IMO, but the technology is inexorably moving on. I am considering something with a good bit higher resolution. Not sure that just going to a full frame is that big a bump...

I did a quick intro in the feedback section, and was urged to post here. I started off in photography in my college days. My dad was into it, and gave me an old Argus C4 and a handheld light meter. I got hooked. He and I shared photography as a hobby until his death. It was something that helped...

Just a bit about myself. I was an avid amateur photographer back in the film days. Did a lot of B&W. Eventually lost interest, thinking my images were not up to snuff given the amount of time and effort input into them. Recently my daughter became interested and I ended up getting her a new...
