    Weekly Photo Challenge Jan 10th - Jan 16th "Bottle(s)"

    I've got lots of great bottles to choose from, but my product photography skills are lacking. Thought about digging out my old SCUBA gear for a still life surrounding this bottle, but didn't have the energy. Found this one on the bottom of the Cooper River over a decade ago. The SC dispensary...

    Post your church shots

    My wife does genealogy. The abundance of child mortality prior to the 20th century is staggering to those of us use to modern medicine and modern sanitation. Very common to see a couple have 8 -10 children and only a couple make it to adulthood. Often some disease going through would take out a...

    Fast Action Settings for D850

    No need to apologize for the D3400. I have one as a backup camera in my bag. I've done almost no automotive photography, and what little I did was static. Anything that will give you fast shutter speeds without going too far with ISO. For birds in flight, I use Manual with auto ISO. I typically...

    ...and here we are

    Welcome. I know what you mean about the learning curve for the new cameras. The options seem endless. Fortunately, there are some very knowledgeable folks here who are willing to share. If you haven't seen it yet, there are subforums for automotive and macro. You can post, and/or ask questions...

    Should I need/get a Z TC1.4 for Z186?

    Well, keep in mind to change a regular lens into a 1:1 macro, you need approximately the same distance as the focal length. So a 50mm lens will require 50mm of extension. That is a little over the 1 1/2" of the extender. It would require over 10 times that length to do the same for a 600mm lens...

    Connecting z lenses to z camera

    My Z5 has a little play. Doesn't seem to affect anything. FYI, it's a rotational play.

    Welcome. Have you looked at the Z cameras. I know that, when on sale, for $2500 the D850 is a real bargain, but, the new mirrorless cameras have lots of great features that the DSLRs don't. I'm thinking you probably have a number of quality FX lenses, and those normally do work well with the...

    Dusted off the 200-500 and went out in the backyard. Dang, I'm getting too old to lie on the ground for 20 minutes, creeping forward.

    Did anyone get some photo related gifts?

    Down here we normally try and cool our homes rather than heat them.

    I have a Mark I target. I bought it new in 1976. It has one of the best triggers I've ever seen.
