Just some old house I wanted to take a shot of.

Messing with some reverse macro ring mount shots.

I took a couple of long exposures tonight and after transferring the images I formatted the SD card (in camera) and turned the power "Off". The Memory Card Access light continued to blink even with power off. A Google search left me stunned. "Blinking Green Light of Death" is mostly what I...

Not sure I have the hang of this yet. Here are my first "successful" images. Not sure they are though. I am not even sure what I was hoping for. The software is extremely confusing to me.

My entry #3

I wanted to get this shot for veterans Day but I was too late.

These are converted/desaturated post process.

My entry #2

Feeling frustrated with my bird photography I needed to get out and do something different. I assigned myself a photography adventure, "A Country Mile". This will be a series that I will continue and add too occasionally. I took my camera (D90), one lens (Nikkor AF 35-105mm) and a tripod. That...

I am asking for older broken, not working or unwanted/unneeded Vivitar flash units that may or may not work or that are just not used anymore. I also am in need of Vivitar (or off brand compatible) SB-4 and SB-6 AC power adapter cords for the Vivitar 285 and 265 flash units. I am interested...

I won a Vivitar 285HV flash in mint condition (said it was used once and I believe it) as it is extremely clean and still in box. I suppose it has sat for a while without being used. I am trying to "form" the capacitor so it will work again. Will the "AA" batteries do this or will I need the...

And finally this is again the 35-105mm lens at ISO 1600, which is where a lot of my bird shots are due to the low light of the seasonal sun. I think ISO noise is my issue more so than focus. It is either that or I am having to use such a large aperture that my DOF is so thin I cannot focus the...

This next image is using the 35-105mm at ISO 200 as well. Again, sharp through out.

Well, most of the images of birds I see here are much sharper than mine by any standard. I know this is not a proper "scientific" test but I wanted to rule out either camera or lens as a possible culprit as well as my own eyes or mis-adjusted diopter. I shot these just a few minutes ago with...

Certainly helped a little but I am still frustrated with a problem that I think is focus area. I managed to get much better exposure and DOF and lower noise but I cannot for the life of me get tack sharp on the eyes. When I ran these images (below) through ViewNX I checked the focus spot...

Here they are uncropped

Well, lets see if I have learned something. I got a few minutes of half decent sunlight before the clouds came in this morning. It is mostly overcast now. I did some of the adjustments to settings as advised. Here is what I got today. I think it is a drastic improvement over what I had...

Due to financial reasons I cannot afford an upgrade to a newer Photoshop. Stuck with version 7.0 for now. I would like a frame script like Don uses that resizes, adds a frame or border and my name or copy right to the edge of the image. I am sure asking for placement of EXIF data is out of the...
