This is my first attempt at panoramic night photography. I wanted to capture the reflection of the lights on the bay. Personally, I don't like the distance factor and how it makes the skyline seem so small, however, it did achieve the reflections I was looking for. I am planning on taking...

All these photos came straight out of my D7000, no sharpening, no Lightroom, no cropping, no nothing other than converting from 14 bit RAW to JPEG and my 105mm macro.

D7000, 70-300mm Nikkor, ISO 500, f/14 @ the world famous San Diego Zoo, March 2, 2012

I'm more convinced than every these so-called focusing issues are 90% operator error and the normal 10% manufacturer errors. Yes, some camera's may have issues and yes, most, if not all the cheaper Nikon lenses, need focal adjustments but the key is resolution. None of my top tier lenses needed...

Doh!!! Yes, I did mean to say 105mm. I'm quite good at transposing numbers and letters. Seems to run in the family as my kids and grandkids have also mastered the art! LOL!!There's a large planter filled with lavender flowers in the park across the street from my house. So far I've taken well...

150mm F/2.8D, ISO 500, f=13 @ 1/320

I have an opportunity to purchase a beautiful 17-35mm lens that looks like it's never been used at all for $1300 and has approximately 2.5 yrs left on the warranty. It comes with this incredible felt-lined case that looks like it would survive a tactical nuclear strike. There's not a mark or...

So I've been looking into a UV and/or a circular polarizing filter for my new 50mm lens. I've not thought about filters since my B&W days in those were all colored. Anything in front of my lens will reduce the total amount of light getting thru the lens, some more than others, so I would like to...

I love reading books on photography and in my readings I keep coming across this notion of a "native" ISO. I believe in the past Nikon's native (or lowest?) ISO was 200, while Cannon's native ISO was 100. This seems to have changed now as all the newer Nikon's are ISO 100. However, it almost...

I have been looking into battery packs for my D7000 and was surprised to see the giant gap in prices between the Nikon pack and the various non-Nikon packs. Although I would have no problem forking out extra cash for a Nikon/Nikkor lens but is it reasonable that a Nikon battery pack is really 5x...

I've had the same camera strap for well over 20 yrs and looking at it today I realized it's on its last leg and that I should buy one now before anything catastrophic occurs. But when I typed in camera strap there came up hundreds of types and models, etc. I suppose I'm dating myself because...

I can't decide which of these two lenses makes the most sense. The D is a smaller profile lens but the G will give more spherical bokeh relative to the D lens but is there anything more significant that this? The reviews I've read so far would lead me to believe the D is a little faster on the...

Here's a hand held photo from my new D7000. I'm rapidly falling in love with this little honey (but would be willing to dump her when the D800 is released, but don't tell her that!) The small image is a crop of the larger image (105mm f/2.8, ISO 100, F=6.3, 1/640).

36 mega pixel?!? Dang... Nikon D800 rumours intensify | News | TechRadar

I've a question that concerns both RAW data and the "Set Picture Control" option in the D7000 menu. If I set the option to Vivid and bump up the sharping 2 or 3 ticks, does this have any meaning whatsoever if I'm shooting in RAW format? In other words, is the data in anyway tweaked by these...

Hello all. My name is Dave and I've recently (5 days ago) purchased a new D7000 and like many others on various internet sites, I'm having trouble with soft images. I realize this subject is a dead horse for many here and I apologize for revisiting this subject. But I have read and read...
