I never print larger than the 13x19 size of my Canon. Now one of my clients wants to do a large photo mural printed on ceramic tile to grace the entry of their business establishment. I took what I feel is a decent shot of downtown Pittsburgh during the golden hour with my D7000. After cropping...

Just viewed a a D600 in stated excellent condition with 4450 actual activations for $350 on local craigslist. Does that sound to good to be true? And, would a camera purchased that way still be eligible for repair if the sensor is defective? Many of you have dealt with these issues and I would...

As I stated earlier in the week I was able to acquire a used one of these lenses and took it on a walkabout today. Like all lenses has a learning curve that I will need to master. But I wanted sharp and i wanted to focus closer to flowers than the nifty 50 would allow me to do and i think it is...

I have just about fixed on the 60mm micro 2.8 d to be my next lens. Would appreciate imput from those who own this lens as to its pros and cons. Have read almost every review I could lay my hands on but still rely on my fellow Nikonites to give me the best advise.

Have been considering switching out my 50 1.8 D for a 50 1.8 G, but i am also considering the Voightlander 58mm 1.4. Anyone out there familiar with these lenses.?. i understand they are incredibly sharp, which is what I am looking for. I can make blurry images on my own and do not need any help...

As I posted recently, this is the year of the accessory for me. Have noticed that my cp filters are a hodge-podge of brands. I could certainly use some advise about which brands are best and why the member thinks so. Thanks

A lot of members have threads here to which they post faithfully. I, on the other hand, promise to post only once in a while. The only thing I will promise is that all my posts will be current photos and they will all be taken with a Nikon camera. I will continue to post photos from my back...

Excellent article in April issue of Outdoor Photographer magazine about telephoto lenses. Might be of interest to many members shooting landscapes. I recommend it.

Do not normally photograph people events but it looks as if I will be photographing a christening. I have a 35mm 2.8 lens a 50mm 1.8 lens and my old faithful, my 16-85 vr lens. Since we will be in a church and I do not want to use a flash what is my best choice of lens? Only have one chance to...

Twice in the last month I have been disturbed by stories posted on this site of newbies being taken advantage of by less than reputable dealers. perhaps we need a tutorial that would cover the need for choosing reliable dealers to buy camera equipment from. I think in this age of the internet...

Been checking out the dialogue on some other photo sites. I know, it is hard to believe but there are other sites. Could not get over how rude and insulting some of the posters get with each other. Not to mention how much bad information and political rants that are allowed. They don't appear...

Following a thread here the other day showing the value of using the 300mm 2.8 in doing portraits. Wow, I want one of those. But will I get one, probably not. After all I don't do portraits. But more importantly I'm remind of a similar situation in my woodworking, where I have acquired more...

Snowy Saturday so I am working on my files, looking for the next photo i will print. I am somewhat amazed by the number of members that do not print their work. I look on this somewhat like big game hunting. The hunt is not really finished until it is bagged, tagged, stuffed and hanging on the...

Finally got the time to take new lens for a test drive. Went to Phipps Conservatory for Orchid Show. It is a little difficult to use in tight quarters but perhaps I just need more practice with it.

Was following a thread on another site where a person was contending that the new cameras are so sophisticated that they produce jpegs so good that there is no need to shoot in raw. Now I have no doubt that the better cameras produce a damn fine jpeg. That being said I still prefer to shoot...

Recently queried Nikon about the country of origin of a given lens. Four exchanges later, they still have not given me an answer, falling back instead on their stock reply that it does not matter where a lens is made. It will still be made to their strict standards. Toward the end of these...
