I splurged and bought a used Nikon 55-300VR lens for my D7200 at MPB. Like new condition for half the price of a new one. Tried it out for a few minutes on the birds in the back yard, and it seems to work well. I will use it to supplement the 18-140VR that came with the camera. I read where...

Stopped by the Don Knotts / Barney Fife memorial in downtown Morgantown WV (his hometown and my current home). It's in front of the old Metropolitan Theater. He always brings a smile to my face. Looks like I need to learn how to use a small bit of fill flash. I think you will have to click...

I stopped to visit my parents today at the West Virginia Veterans' Cemetery in Grafton. Dad served in the US Navy from 1949-1951. Beautiful day, and I had my camera in the car. First time I've had it out in a couple of months. Tried the circular polarized lens that came with it. The cemetery is...

You have to think about this one for a minute. Who is it?

Not really a "purchase", but newly acquired. My mother passed away last month, and I'm cleaning out the house. Down in the basement (dark dungeon) inside one of the many old cabinets filled with "stuff", I found this today - a Brownie Target Six-20. Normally, finding something like this would...

Old truck under a tree in Mount Storm, West Virginia. I was coming home from Petersburg WV to Morgantown WV and this shot begged me to experiment with B&W, which I have done very little of. Cold, blustery day. Nikon D7200 and kit 18X140 VR lens. Converted from color to B&W in Photoshop...

First time I've had the camera out of the case for over 2 months. I was taking care of my mother at home with hospice care, and she lost her battle with cancer 2 weeks ago. As I was coming home yesterday from cleaning out our farmhouse near Petersburg WV, I passed this scene. I missed all of...

Went with my wife to a Mum Festival in Connellsville PA this weekend. Not much there in the way of flowers, mostly vendors with crafts. Found this nice scene walking around the old town. (Click for full size)

Greetings. I'm still working my way through the D7200 book and owner's manual, and thought I had this figured out, but I was wrong. Here's what I would like to do: In "P" setting, I got everything set up to do a 5-shot bracket +-0.7 each shot, on a Self-Timer of 5 seconds (to eliminate...

Here are a couple of photos I took at a nearby flower shop my wife loves to spend hours at. I admit, I like looking around too. This time I brought the camera. Pretending to do macro photography with the kit 18-140. Considering how allergic I am to bees (and that my epi pen was 15 miles away...

My first photo submission to this thread. Bought the D7200 back in April but shoulder surgery sidelined me for awhile. Got it out this morning when a box turtle took a stroll through our back yard. D7200 with Nikon 18-140 lens. Not sure if the data will show up, but it was f/5.6 at...

I had a little time yesterday and today after work to walk around the back yard and take a few photos. Camera is working great now - no "Card Err" messages! (Thanks to all who offered assistance on this thread. Here are a few "first photos" beyond the experimentation stage. State bird of West...

SD Card - Help Please! Noob keeps getting "Card Err" messages on D7200 After 10 years of digital point and shoots, I decided to get back into "serious hobby" photography (had a 8008s years ago) and bought a D7200 last month. Love it. However, from the first day, I have been getting "Card Err"...

First try at posting a couple photos - just experimenting with the new camera on a couple of sparrows by the back porch. Raining hard off and on, so this is all I get to do today before heading to the church after lunch. Both photos shot in P mode with auto settings. The only thing I...

Greetings to all! I am a professional musician (pianist - Bachelor and Master of Music degrees from West Virginia University and a retired pianist in the US Air Force Bands). I first became interesting in moving beyond the "snapshot" level when our son was born while I was stationed in Alaska...
