    Shadows

    Howdy and welcome to Nikonites! As @Bikerbrent suggested, without seeing example images of what you're getting, it sounds like getting your flash off camera and metering more for fill instead of key lighting from the flash will be your biggest help.

    Weekly Challenge Feb. 15 - 22: MACRO

    Been awhile since I've participated, and while I wasn't really equipped for the subject, this might work for the task at hand. It's interesting what Phoenix landscapes do when they get a little rain...

    Slow buffer on d5500

    First, howdy and welcome to Nikonites!!! Second, i think @nickt is on the right troubleshooting path...have you recently changed setting on the camera that may be contributing to the slower performance? Shooting both raw and jpg is more obvious (because now the camera is writing two tiles...

    Post your Portrait shots!

    Not my typical portrait setup, but I thought it worked pretty well straight off the camera for me. (Edited to add that I did notice I have lens correction applied, but otherwise no post processing)

    Nikon 200-500/5.6 VR Lens....... post your photos!

    Maybe not the typical use of this lens, but the light wasn't working well while testing with the TC14III, so I decided to turn around from the birds and make an image with Lisa and our pup Lily instead.

    struggling to reset diopter?

    @nickt hit it on the head. More importantly, how are your images coming out of the camera? Crisp?

    Shoutbox not loading in some tabs

    Yup, I'm seeing the same behavior as @mikew. On just about every page, it seems to be working. When I jump to New Posts and get redirected to the What's New page, Shoutbox doesn't load. As soon as I navigate back to another page, it loads up.

    What Happens in Vegas ...

    I don't think this is exactly what they meant with that saying, but I will say that food poisoning sucks. Going on my 3rd night in the hospital so that I can recover enough to get back home. How creative can you get with photography while stuck in a bed attached to an IV?

    Nikon 24-120 as wedding lens?

    I agree with @hark. Ultimately, it really depends on the amount of available light. The 24-120 and 16-35 are my go-to travel lenses, but doing night weddings in dark places I'm always going to reach for something faster. If the wedding is outside, during the day, the 24-120 should do fine. For...
