    AF Nikkor 70-300mm D lens vs. Af Nikkor 75-300 D lens

    Anyone optimistic about Comet Ison?

    I am following this comet and am excited and hopeful it will make it around the Sun and give us a good show for December. I just hope, that if it does make it, we will be able to see its display here in North America. What are your thoughts on this comet? Gonna make it or not?

    My bird shots are just horrible! I need some help!

    I had some decent sunlight this afternoon and the little birds were feeding like crazy. I decided to give this another shot. Today, I got much much closer. How I was able to stand, in the open, just 4 feet from the feeder is a mystery to me; but I did. The birds, particularly one little...

    Auto Focus Points, Focus and Depth of Field

    There is already one thread on Focus Distance and DOF and I would like to expand on that a bit with some things I have learned recently while photographing small bodied birds. Focus points are the camera's way of achieving focus on the particular area you have chosen to be sharply in focus...

    How about posting your HDR images?

    Another attempt at an HDR image. Again, the software I am using, Luminance HDR, is totally confusing to me and I am not sure about my results. I get all kinds of results and rarely one I like. I like this one ok but there are some "anomalies" I don't like.

    Another way to make your posted images larger

    I know there are several threads in this area dealing with posting images and why some post as thumbnail size and others as a large or full size image within the post.
