Recreation- Marcel's Choice DO NOT SHOOT OR POST IMAGES UNTIL WEDNESDAY SEPTEMBER 3 0:00 UTC This early announcement of the topic is to give a little think time, before the challenge begins. Photos must be taken and submitted between 00:00 UTC of the start date and 00:00 UTC of the end date...

Hopefully not the wrong sub-forum, but looking for some input regarding graduated ND filters. While getting some test shots with the 10-24mm over the weekend, the 77mm Polariod adjustable ND filter was providing some distortion of vignetting when I tried to use most of the darker settings. It...

Here's a couple images from my first hands-on with the 10-24mm... @Bill16, this guy asked me if you could give him some guitar lessons? He's hoping to get his hands on a Gibson SG sometime soon. :) It was so hot, people were reflective outside... Coming or going, the DART rail station in...

Weekly Challenge July 30-5: "Stuck Indoors" Stuck Indoors July 31 - Aug 5 This week's photo challenge is "Stuck Indoors". All bets are off, the sky's the limit (figuratively), and the topic can be anything you want it to be ... as long as it is inside your house. Like last week, color, B&W...

Not sure this is the best sub-forum, so no worries if this thread needs to be moved somewhere else. These pictures weren't taken with my Nikon, so just looking more for composition input/feedback/suggestions than anything. These were taken with my iPhone, but I figure when the urge strikes, use...

I guess it had to come eventually. I noticed when I got into this almost two months ago, all of the books and learning materials for Aperture seemed to be a bit dated. I wasn't real sure why the version info seemed to relate, but it just seemed that the software had been hanging out there. Not...

I mentioned it in the "Recent Purchases" thread, but after having the night to sleep on it I thought perhaps a blog post (versus a forum post) might be the best place to capture my thoughts. As a bit of background, I have no formal photography training or background. I dabbled with 35mm film...

I'm just getting restarted with photography, but jumped back in with the D5300. I know that I'll start replacing the kit lenses with better glass as funds become available. My question then is this... I'm pretty sure the 5300 will end up becoming my second body that is either the backup body or...

Did a quick forum search and just saw threads referring to tweaking the histogram for a raw picture, but where can I learn the how-to? I haven't spent any time learning a process for post-processing pictures after I've shot them, instead I'm still in the mindset of getting the best picture on...

It's been awhile since I've kept up any kind of predictable blogging. The best I've done was related to motorcycle riding, and I'm currently struggling to keep my tech blog going with content, but digital photography is taking hold so maybe this will be different. Look for more to come as I...

I've been finding a lot of inspiration with the various picture threads on squirrels, flowers, dragonflies, etc ... but figured it was time I start a thread for random images that I've shot that I don't know another thread to put them in. :) Here's a few pics from this weekend's trip down to...

My wife and I are headed to Austin this weekend for a conference she's attending. Since she's stuck in sessions during the day, I was hoping to get some more quality time with the new camera while I can. Any suggestions on locations that would make good photo spots? If it comes down to it, I'll...

This may not be the right sub-forum, in which case my apologies. My wife and I are traveling at the end of the month, which is part of the motivation for gearing up on the photo gear. Planning for the flight ... what has been the general experience when trying to have a tripod as part of your...

Is it just me or does anyone else have a problem using the viewfinder where they keep bumping their nose against the LCD? I'm trying to figure out if it's just how I'm holding the camera or if I've got a bigger than normal nose or what. :cool: Anyway, just curious. Do most of you shoot in Live...

These are some of my very first pics with the D5300, but hoping to get some feedback/input none the less. I haven't done any editing on these, they are straight off the camera. First for the 28-55mm lens: My focal point here was the fountain itself. Versus here trying to focus on the...

Still waiting for the camera body to arrive either today or tomorrow, but got me thinking... Since the 5300 has an embedded GPS for geotagging, does the camera have the ability to set date/time from that GPS signal? Traveling internationally, I'm not always aware of the local timezone, so...

New member here from Dallas Texas! Just getting into digital photography although I do still have my original Nikon 35mm SLR from when I played with film some 15 years ago. Should see the dSLR delivered this week and looking forward to some hands on time while on vacation at the end of this...
