First let me say that I totally understand that culling photos is ultimately a personal decision. But since I've started shooting sports (roller derby to be precise) my total yearly shots have gone from roughly 2,500/yr to 10,500+ so far this year. Yes, I ditch all the "bad" (out of focus...

One of my friends recently purchased a D5300 bundle from someone who decided not to become a wedding photographer (yea!). What was included in the bundle looks suspiciously like an Amazon bundle that's listed as an "Import Model". What's the easiest way to determine if the d5300 is actually a...

Does anyone know if there's any appreciable speed difference if you choose to duplicate or split jpg/raw files vs setting the dual slots as overflow? Basically I'm wondering if using the 2 slots concurrently is slower than using them sequentially. Thanks!

Recently I've been shooting more action shots and I've come up against an irksome issue. Basically, after 7 seconds the camera goes into a "sleep" mode. And while any of the buttons will "wake" the camera up automatically the command dials and the 4-way multi selector do not. So this means I can...

Although I've shot quite a bit I don't do a whole lot with flash, but I've just started shooting Roller Derby and would like some help with an idea I'm trying to suss out. Typically I shoot bouts at 1/320 or higher as this seems to freeze the action nicely. However, some venues are poorly lit...

I'm playing around with a couple of ideas for shoot that would take place at night in a cemetery. But since most of them are closed/off limits at night, I was thinking of taking the shot in daylight and PP'ing them to look as if they were night shots. Is there a convincing way to take photos in...

Recently I purchased a Nikkor 85mm f1.8 lens and have been getting some blurry results. Although I must say it's happened with other lenses as well (50mm f1.8 [film era] & less frequently 70-200mm VR1). So I'm hoping that some one here can shed some light as to why this happens. Both the photos...

So I've been playing around with the DSLR Remote app (android) and its got the a timer capability so that I can take a sequence of photos at whatever interval I want. The problem I'm running into is that the D90 reverts from IR Remote mode to regular shooting mode "in about a minute" (quote from...

Every now and then I stumble upon mention of a lower priced 85mm 1.8 that is comparable or out performs the Nikon. But for the life of me I can't remember the manufacturer nor have I been successful with a forum/google search. Does anyone have any ideas? Or maybe I'm just mis-remembering? Thanks!

I've run across an interesting situation and I was wondering if others have come across it as well. If I have a flash in the hot-shoe and I turn it off I can take a single photo and that's it, after that no response. In order to continue taking pics I have to turn the flash back on or remove it...

To keep a long story short, I've got to replace a damaged Nikkor 18-55mm VR kit lens. But after reading some reviews I'm still unclear if it's worth the money to get the VR-II version of this lens. Is the VR-II that much better to warrant spending an extra $70 (used)?

I think I understand the other 2 metering modes (matrix and spot) that my d90 can do well enough. But I'm trying to envision a scenario where center-weight metering would be used. It seems like a hybrid between matrix and spot and therefore why not just pick whichever of those two the situation...

Does anyone have any experience attaching the RapidStrap system to the Vello BG-N2 battery grip? Although the battery grip seems nice and rugged (in fact the mount is reinforced inside) I was just wondering if there were any negative experiences stacking all this stuff on the D90's tripod mount?
