I have created a new Facebook Group called The 52 Photos Project. The focus of this group is to Inspire and to be Inspired! Each week, you'll have a theme to follow. The idea is to think Out of the Box! If the theme is Weather, that could be a "Storm" or a Weathered Barn; so put some thought...

One thing not mentioned is that the Nikon 200-500mm will accept a 1.4x TC (I have both) for a fixed f8, neither the Sigma nor the Tamron will. The Nikon combo on a DX body (I have the D500) is an extreme amount of reach! I also have a D810 and I have only had one chance to shoot my 200-500...

Looking for some real-world experience/advice. I have both a D810, D700 and D500 along with all the Pro Glass from 14mm to 500mm and I do well with them in most all scenarios that I put them - and then... This past year my wife was diagnosed with Breast Cancer and then the threat of Uterine...

Is there a better way of adding IPTC data to the D500, other then using the in-camera menus? It woks of for adding copyright and name - but a pain in the a$$ for IPTC!

So I am a bit confused and I am looking for some insight from those that “actually” know from real world experiences. I understand the difference in Tripods with thicker/stiffer legs will reduce movement and provide a more stable platform - but is that what I really need? I keep...

Here's a couple more form yesterday with some of your suggestions added!

Learning long lens techniques with the Nikon 200-500mm. This was shot yesterday morning in very low light and my only option was hand-held. This is a young Jake is a little over a year old - but strutting like his poppa Tom would. While not totally happy with the sharpness - I am ok with what I...

For those of you with the Nikon 200-500 & Sigma/Tamron 150-600 lenses, what are you using for stabilization? There is hand-holding, mono pods, traditional tripods with either a ball head or gimbal. What's your flavor, VR on/off type of shooting?

I have been looking at this one: E584 ? XX-Large Lens Pouch I Or their more expensive version: L311 ? Compact Long Lens Case I'll be calling them tomorrow to get some more information.

I know that Nikon was doing everything in their power to keep costs down and compete with Tamron/Sigma - but for such an investment, I would have expected it to come with a padded case of some sort - not just the typical "bag"? And giving it's size, it does not fit into my backpack - so I am...

Ok guys, I finally got a chance to do some side by side compression of a Standard CP and a High Transmission CP. I am using a Nikon D810 with a 70-200mm VRII Lens on a tripod. Both Polarizers are B+W German Glass The Standard CP $70 Amazon.com : B+W 77mm Kaesemann Circular Polarizer with...

Right now I have a 77mm B+W Slim non-HTC and I am losing 1 1/2 stop just putting it on and 2 2/3 stops of light fully polarized! Not cool! While losing that much light is not too difficult for landscapes - it does post a problem when shooting other non-landscape shots like, wildlife, car...

Being new to LR, I just created one catalog and I have everything I have shot since 2000 in there - everything! While I do like the ability to see everything - it is starting to get very cluttered. I do shoot commercially and personally and I am thinking that I should at least separate the...

So I am heading out for a hike this weekend to shoot the fall colors here in Colorado. I have a plethora of lenses to bring as well as other gear. All said it would probably nearly 75 pounds if I took everything and the hike might last all of 15 minutes! So time to trim the fat and scale down...

After some serious online research I found a small shop downtown called EON Screenprinting here in Colorado Springs, CO. This place is awesome. I got my Vest online at Amazon and then Michael only charged me $8 bucks to get the identifying lettering on! The key is to ask for Vinyl - NOT...

More and more I am being stopped and asked to put on a safety vest while shooting. I have always received specific vets at professional sports events and will always have to use theirs for that, but more and more nonprofessional events are requiring vests to separate the working photogs form...

Greed - the death of a photographer! It should be a movie. Shakers718 I totally disagree with Lawrence - you'll lose more clients and opportunities form greed than anything else in this business. Lawrence, as an ex-professional "sponsored" downhill mountain biker (1991-97)- I can tell you there...
