I had been thinking of getting a 2nd Speedlight that would function TTL.. The Yongnuo's were getting good reviews.. then I saw a local ad for an SB 700 used. The young lady owned it one year and seldom used it... today she needed the money. I ended up getting it for $210 and it looks...

Driving up to Manchester tonight with both cameras to look at a Sigma 105 Macro. It is the older version, no motor and has been factory rechipped for the newer Nikons. I can get it for $200 so if condition is good, functions on both cameras and the image quality looks good, I am bringing it...

I have a question regarding the "Reply with Quote" feature. I use that often so that the exact item I am replying to is clear. In the past, it displays in either one of 2 ways: 1. All Pictures show in the reply (or) 2. The reply has only links to the pictures.. Personally I much prefer...

After seeing Ted's reports and seeing some of his photos, I decided to go ahead and try the Tokina 12-24. I have been looking for an ultra-wide for my DX. The reviews looked good (yes, the 11-16 had some better slightly) and for the price, I think it is going to be a fine lens for my...

I made a comment about leaving work for a "situation" earlier and did not want to muddle up the photo forums. "Off Topic" is perfect as this is exactly that... We got the call at 4:00am this morning that my wife's mom passed away. Her brother called (they are in Texas). I went into work...

Howdy everyone.. I am looking for 2 lenses, a Macro and an Ultrawide... I am likely purchasing used/refurb and though my prioritywould be the Ultra I have stumbled on a couple available Macro's.. so limiting this to Macro... I am going to spend some time looking at reviews, but was...

WOW!!! Thats the best way to start... It was late when I got the battery charged so I just snapped a few indoor pics as I tried to learn to operate "The Beast" (and I say that in a good way) :) It may not be a big jump form say a D7000, but from a D5100, it is quite huge... Loads of...

I arrived home from work today and found a brand new Nikon D7100 sitting there for me to open!! My wife is a keeper for sure! (of course she was already after 35 years!!) I asked her how come, she answered, "Cuz I wanted to and I could" Tough to beat that... now I can ready and post in the...

To all of the Mother's here at Nikonites! Happy Mother's Day Pat in NH

Good Morning All! I was checking out various settings in my D5100 and noticed two related to NR (Noise Reduction). I was wondering (regarding the LONG EXPOSURE NR & High ISO NR) 1. What do the 0ther 5100 owners have these set at?? 2. Have you adjusted/used them at all??? 3. What...

There has been a lot of chatter recently on straps, Bosstrap, Cotten, Black Rapid and others... One item of contention was using the tripod socket which I had an aversion too. I went with a Black Rapid and the Bos Tail from BosStrap based on recomends of many here at Nikonites. My only...

I am thinking of replacing my 18-55 Kit lens... I am selling my 55-200 (keeping 55-300) and looking for just a bit more reach than the kit 55 provides. I have been pleased with the quality of the 18-55. I have seen several reasonably priced 18-105's (kit for the 7000 I think) and wondering...

This is a general question... (moderators please move if a better spot) I will be looking for a wide angle (10/12mm) for DX use... also be looking for a DX Macro For the cost of renting a couple lens's to try out, thinking it may be a good idea, especially for the WA lens as there are...

Here are a couple I took last night up in Manchester NH... I may try a couple more tonight down in Lowell MA. First real attempt at cityscapes... Both used D5100 & 18-55 Kit at ISO 400 55mm, f/16 @ 10 sec 48mm, f/11 @ 10 sec Added this picture while editing.... same ISO and lens...

Just started today... I have no Carriage Return when in WYSISWYG mode... I can put it in source mode and post fine.. Problem comes when uploading photos... In "source mode" I cannot see the photos... This is what shows "ATTACH=CONFIG]31937[/ATTACH]" makes it near impossible to...

Curious if anyone has tried any of these?? Currently, if I shoot in my "studio", I preview the camera screen, then go in the other room and view on my computer. It is often at this point, I say "close but no cigar" and go shoot a few more. With an EYE-FI card, I could have the photos...

Ok, took a lot of shots last Saturday, posted up a bunch with different lighting and received some creative comments, then came back Sunday with some improvements. The folks here were a great help.. thank you. Anyway, today, I wanted to try a couple things to make a little more...

Well, it was a learning experience... :cool: and I had fun, so thats half the battle.... Gear available... 2 light stands with umbrella's... 1 SB 700 1 Yongnuo 560 II Manual speedlight Obiously my camera, D5100 and for today I had the 35mm f/1.8 on as I was doing several different things...

Ok, it was time to pull the trigger!!! There have been posts and threads regarding lighting, speedlights bouncing, speedlights off camera, continuous lighting for a studio, modifiers etc. I have been taking this all in and trying to decide what I wanted.. (I am looking to learn more) I at...

Hello Fellow Nikonites, Ok, many know I recently bought an SB-700 as my main flash. Currently, my only capability is On Camera. What I did today is to test the unit on camera in various positions to see the effect. No post process except identical crop in LR to each frame. I was using a...
