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...

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...

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...

I just don't understand what it is I am doing wrong. I got really close to these birds. They are regulars at my work because we have a large fresh water pond stocked with fish. They are mostly accustomed to people so I can get really close. Through my viewfinder I saw good sharp eyeballs on...

In another post I made in another forum I was told that CD/DVD was not the best medium on which to store images. If not on those two choices, what is the best way to store them other than on the computer hard drive? If I were mailing images to someone, other than using email, what would be...

I read that it was out of production now. I guess it will get added to the "out of production" area?

Are the challenges and assignments still happening? I have read the rules and have been looking for the new challenge to come out and I have not seen one. Did I miss out?

I currently work part time at a local animal boarding kennel. It is a private kennel on a gorgeous piece of property and not ran or owned by any city or county entity. Most of the clients that board there aren't exactly poor folk but some aren't as well off and I expect I wouldn't get 100%...

I told myself, when I got this D90, that I was not gonna be a lens collector and was gonna stick with three lenses max. Well, I can't seem to do it. I currently have the 50mm AF Nikkor f1.8 D, the 18-55mm AF-s f3.5 DX ED SWM, 28-80mm AF Nikkor f3.5 D and the 55-200mm AF-s DX ED VR SWM. I was...

I like using fill flash for outdoor photos but I have a question about what it changes. If I pop up my flash, and it is set to TTL, does it change my shutter speed automatically? What is the proper way to set the flash to get fill flash and keep a higher shutter speed?

This seems to be popular here so I figured I would start mine. As stated, in my intro, I am a newbie to digital SLR's and digital photography in general. Here I will post my photos as I progress and learn. My main intitial goal is to get comfortable with my camera and its settings and not the...

What I see in my viewfinder is not the result I am getting with my images. Here are a few I shot today that are the best of the bunch but need something. Tell me what you see, what you think I am doing wrong and how these could be greatly improved. I think it is camera shake. They look sharp...

Seems as if I get logged out after just a couple minutes of inactivity. I have not experienced that anywhere else so I am not sure how to fix it. I don't want to be logged out automatically. Also, when posting images, do I need to include the EXIF data or will that be available from the image...

Just a quick hello and intro here. I just purchased my first digital SLR last week. After research I decided I wanted the D90. I got is used with two lenses at, what I feel, was a good price. Camera is gorgeous and works perfectly. I have always shot Nikon gear but, coming from film, I am...
