Alpine Lake in Winter. Dedicated to our friend from Denmark.

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...

There always seems to be one more pink rose.

have decided I absolutely need a 300 mm lens. Am torn between a Nikon 70-300vr lens or a Nikon 300mm 4.5 Ais lens. Would welcome imput from anyone with knowledge of these two lenses.:confused:

Whilei thank those who liked my pic " on the road to Foggy Mountain" i must admit I sent the wrong version. Here is the one I meant to send

On the road to Foggy Mountain

Thought I had found my lat rose of summer but then the sad little yellow rose appeared. Oh well " Winter comes, but the Spring is close behind."

Local lake, early autumn

The pink tinge must be due to soil acidity

Recent heavy rain and then this fellow pops up.

Have always printed my own digital prints but always lusted after poster size prints. Was able to get prints as large as 20x30 printed at Sam's Club and I have to say that they were not bad. However, you have to reduce the file to a jpeg, and accept their ink and paper choices. This defeats the...

At Alpine Lake, West Virginia

Just rambling around

" Regrets, I have few, but then too few to mention" So goes the old song and heaven knows I've always done it my way. But one of those regrets is that I did not take up the camera until my 39th year. And I can not for the life of me remember what i was doing that was so important. And even...

Don't know if this is the right forum for this, if not, the moderators can move. I print most of my photos on Ilford Pearl paper. When I first switched to a Canon printer I tried out their paper mostly because they sent free samples. But i've always migrated back to Ilford. Something about the...

:confused: I began to suspect that my auto focus was not spot on on my 16-85 lens. Saw that it could be adjusted and sent several unedited raw files to Nikon for evaluation. But they tell me they can't evaluate them because they were not opened using Nikon software. ​Now I'm sure that NX2 or...

:wink-new: Watched an interesting video the other day about a well known photographer, 77 years old, who has never shot digital. As an experiment he was given digital camera and asked to try it. He was given a mentor to talk him thru the basics and in a week or so, if the photos are...

:concern: Would be photographer goes to eye doctor. Just routine annual exam. But doctor says that the fellow has the beginning of cataracts on both eyes. Surgery is required. Can hardly imagine news that would make a photographer more anxious than possible eye problems...

here are 2 more examples that i promised. One has super tight cropping and 1 has virtually none. I think that it comes down together you like the background or not.

More and more when editing my flower photos I find myself cropping the print to a square aspect. A lot of the surrounding area of a rectangular photo is just extraneous to the central flower. Some time great bokeh will rescue that but otherwise no. How many of you that print your own photos...
