Well, maybe not that spectacular but the 70-300mm VR ED lens is now in my hands! It arrived this afternoon as I sat outside watching for the mail carrier with my binoculars. :emmersed: Man, this thing is a beast. I wasn't expecting it to be this heavy. That is not an issue for me but it is...

At what focal length/angle does a wide angle really start to show the perspective distortion? I want to get a wide angle but I want to keep it not so extreme. In a DX lens I am thinking around 18-35mm in a tele zoom or a 17-55mm tele zoom.

Nikon Nikkor AF-S 18-55mm G DX ED For sale is my Nikon Nikkor AF-S 18-55mm G ED DX lens. It is in immaculate condition and works perfectly. Comes with front and rear Nikon caps and a front clear UV filter as shown. Am asking $80.00 or I will consider best offer. My asking price is about the...

I apologize if this is already here somewhere. I have not yet seen it anywhere and many of you may already know this information. I did not and it particularly interested me as I have the 70-300mm ED VR lens coming soon. It was also interesting that I read to NEVER remove the VR lenses from the...

I posted this question in this section because I didn't mean for it to cover any one lens type in particular. After I receive my 70-300mm ED VR lens soon I will again review my lens collection and determine whether I will sell/add another or not. I was curious to see if there is a good lens...

I was reading something tonight on portrait lenses (after the flurry of portrait lens posts lately) and I saw a brief mention of choosing a portrait lens according to the characteristics of your subject, i.e., age, physical size, other features etc. Why would this matter?

People love to judge what others do. I know I do. It makes me look at my own work more closely. This forum gets very little in the way of replies and actual rated critique. I can't figure it out.

Very disappointed in today's Alabama vs. Auburn game. 'Bama is my team but today they really let me down. I really wanted them to play Florida State and whoop their butts. Not sure that can happen now. :crushed:

Another interactive photo game! Rules are simple. One person posts a photo according to the subject dictated by the previous post. Once you post your photo for that subject you get to name the next subject. For instance, if I post a photo and name the next subject "jelly" then you would post...

Anyone have photos using some of the older Nikon AI-S or AI converted lenses on their DSLR? I am considering a couple just to have for myself and I would like to see some shots using them. I am particularly interested in prime lenses such as the 85mm, 105mm, 135mm and 300mm fixed.

I have posted one of my portraits for critique and here I will post another and just get your general comments. Family comes in for thanksgiving and you have no way or area to set up a portrait area. You snap the best shots you think you can get at the time. This was my first opportunity to...

Thanksgiving brings a lot of my family together every year. Typically they blow in and blow out like the wind so there is little time and absolutely no chance of setting up a small portrait area. Photos are taken on the fly and under much coaxing of the subjects to allow a photo. I guess we...

I am about to try one of these two lenses. I have read pretty good reviews about both but I have learned you cannot trust all online reviews. I would like to hear from some of you who have used both of these preferably. I can get good clean used pieces and either cost about the same. I am...

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?

What is the color temp for LED lights? Are they all in the same general range or do they greatly differ?

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...

I have not seen a real dedicated tutorial on posting pictures/images. Figured I would put one together and if it is worthy of a sticky then maybe it will make it. Here is the proper way to post your images into a thread post or in a reply to someone else' post. Preparing Images for Posting...

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. I wanted to check and see if I could change my posted images to large images instead of thumbnails. I was able to do just that...

I have uploaded to my Gallery but not to an "album". What is the difference in these two areas?
