My new 16-85 turned up today, tested it out while I had a quiet drink. ​

More Rock Wallabies :o. Took a few shots of this young Mother eating my lawn this afternoon. You can see in a couple of the photos that her pouch has a small bulge and the entrance is slightly open. ​Judging by the size of it, the Joey would be still very small and would not have any hair yet...

A Dancing Lady.....

I got a new lens for my birthday the other day, Nikkor afs 35 G f1.8. Had a bit of a play around with it today, this is not a new pen, there are some other photos of it on this thread. Apple Aperture has the RAW update for the D7100, so I am back to taking my pics in RAW. So far I am really...

Here's my 2nd entry. Nikon D7100, Nikkor micro AF55D f2.8, f6.3. 0.5 second, iso100. ​B&W certainly takes a bit more thought than just shooting a colour pic.

For those of us living on the proper end of the World, today is the first day of winter. So flowers are not as plentiful as usual. I spotted a Malaleuca tree in flower on the way home from work, so here is my first attempt at this challenge. D7100, AF Micro Nikkor 55mm f/2.8 . ISO 100, f18...

Been real busy with work lately, so not many photos taken. But my son had some dramas with his car the other day, while helping him get it out of the bog hole, I whipped the camera out and took a few shots. Couldnt waste too much time, as we had to race the incoming tide to get the car out and...

Something that has come up in the garden.....

I converted this raw file in View NX2.

I have had a fair bit going on lately, so not much time for pens. I started on this ballpoint yesterday afternoon, and finished it today. This is the first pen photos I have taken with my new D7100. Took a custom white balance setting, and away I went. These ones are jpegs, I took some raw...

I am looking at getting a guide book for my D7100. There are not too many on the market yet, but I am thinking about downloading this one by Douglas Klosterman. ​Has anyone used this one or any of his other books before ? Buy Nikon D7100 Experience - The Still Photography Guide To Operation...

Another backyard walk this afternoon. Experimenting with different settings for U1/U2 for birds.Found this pair of Red Tailed Black Cockatoo's eating some Gumnuts on a high branch. It wasn't easy getting good clear shots of them as they were high up in the branches, I just had to try and find...

Has anyone tried one of these cheap macro focusing rails ? Are they any good, or just another piece of junk that will make its way to the back of the cupboard ? Macro Focusing Rail Slider Nikon D200 D700 D300 D2X D20 | eBay

Same walkaround, switched to the 70-300VR for these ones. This poor Dove has lost its tailfeathers, there have been a few Hawks around lately after the neighbours killed one of their cattle and dumped the carcass in their quarry, so I am guessing it may have been hit by one of them. It is...

Went for a walk around my backyard this afternoon, these ones were with the 55D micro on the D7100.

Still playing around trying to get familiar with using ViewNX2, I will be glad when there is an update for Aperture so I can process my D7100 raw files. I took this one yesterday with the 55D f2.8. This Buddha is in a part of my pool garden. When I converted this file to jpeg to put on here, I...

I went for a walk this afternoon with my D7100 and 55 f2.8 micro. I have now set the camera to RAW, and it seems the only software I have that can convert the raw files to jpeg, is ViewNX2. I havent used this before so I am not familiar with it. Here is one I fumbled along with, and managed to...

I put on the 70-300VR and went for another walk. A couple of samples, ISO-800, f4.5, 1/400th, @70mm ISO-800, f6.3, 1/40th, @300mm. Think I will spend the rest of the afternoon on the lounge chair with the camera and the manual on my lap and get used to the settings and controls. Its a lot...

Well I am the proud owner of a D7100 as of today. Sold my D3100 and 18-55, 55-200 this morning. I have had a bit of a play with it using an AFS 24-85 (non vr ), I bought this lens a while back in anticipation for a move to a D600, which wont happen now. I was never happy with this lens on my...

Just sold my D3100 and 2 kit lenses to a guy who was buying it for his younger sister. ​So now I can start shopping for a D7100 :D.
