I am about to purchase a 50mm 1.8 lens and am looking at both the AF-S version and the older "D" version. Since I use the D90 either lens will work with my camera. What are some recommendations between the two? The AF-S is a little more expensive used, new it is considerably more money. I do...

Looking for one or two VP-1 Vari Power module for the old Vivitar 283's Have a bid on the only one I found on eBay but I may not win it.

Looking for one, or preferably two, SB-4 AC adapters for the old 283/285 flash units

I looked around and could not find a specific area in which to post favorite links to wonderful tutorials and information regarding Lighting and Portraits. I spologize inadvance if these are a recent repeat of links already posted. Here are some I read a lot: Scroll down to the bottom of...

Little story here although I am missing one shot to tell it. Went out in this terrible cold (I know, I am in Florida though) this morning to my new spot for birding. The usual guys were there, Gulls, Egrets, Osprey and the Bald Eagle eventually. The Osprey was very active today. There were...

Well dang! Those famous Whooping Cranes that are led through migration by ultra-light aircraft (Operation Migration) landed in my home county December 31st. They will not disclose the location though and the cranes are not available for public viewing at this site. Their last stop is 28 miles...

As mentioned in another post I made I am giving a tribute to Marilynne whose photos of seagulls inspired me to try them. I feel lucky that I found them without having to drive an hour and a half to the coast to see them. There was a whole bunch at the walking park today. There were birds of...

Ohhh boy. What have I gotten myself into! Gonna give this a shot. I start tomorrow (I am in the USA time zone) and I have the day off work so at least my first day will bring some photos!

I would like to add a really good, not top of the line, low light lens to my set so I can occasionally practice indoor low light photography for when that day comes that I decide it is time to actually do the real work. I have been reading for hours about low light lenses and I still have not...

What I want your smart ass to do is find where I said my image was as good as anyone's image. Find it, please. Your mouth is writing checks your ass can't cash. I will kiss your 'Nadian ass over an over if you can find that I said anything even close. I posted, not threw, my image in...

What is the maximum size of a photo that can be printed in high quality with an uncropped D90 image? I noticed that Zenfolio warns of resolution and print size on some of my images that have been cropped and are of a lower resolution.

I was off work today so I took off this morning to the Tallahassee Museum of History and Natural Science. It is a rather small outdoor type museum with captive animals kept in natural environments. No cages, just fencing. There is an elevated board walk that meanders through the grounds so all...

I have not discussed this here prior to this moment but I am getting to a point where I really think I need to make some kind of change or attempt at making some income with my camera. I am not sure I am ready to jump feet first into "professional" photography but I would like to start doing...

An hour ago this forum was as fast as ever for me. Now, I can make a sandwich in between page transitions. It is horribly slow to make a connection and change pages. Most times I have had to hit the "Stop" icon and then "Refresh" the page to get them to load.

I cannot find how to edit and add to my software capability in my profile. I can add camera, lenses, flash and other but I cannot see where to change the software shown.

The search function here has died. I get an lost local server connection message. connection to localhost:9312 failed (errno=111, msg=Connection refused)

Just spent and hour and 20 minutes downloading LR 5 Trial version. Did not read the system requirements and it won't install because I have Windows XP instead of Windows 7 or higher. Are there free trials of the older version software anywhere?

I ran down to CVS Pharmacy to use their quick print kiosk. I have never printed any of my photos and I wanted to get a feel for how they look in print. I chose four images to print and all of them looked pretty much exactly like what I see on my monitor. Only one had a warmer tint where the...

Finally got a beautiful sun filled morning today. I took this opportunity to get some BIF shots and I was very lucky to have Egrets, Buzzards and Hawks all available today! While I did better than I expected I would my shots leave a lot lacking. They look great as small photos but when I...

I did some Google searching and found we have quite a few nature/birding trails all very close to me here in the Tallahassee area of Florida. So I will be heading out to some of them soon to get some new meat to shoot. Oh, there is one of these parks where the workers will put up life-like...
