    ml-l3 remote settings on D3200 reverts back to Single shot mode after a minute

    That doesn't match up with the menus on my D3200. Menus must be arranged differently on whatever model you have. I went looking for it, and it's right in the Setup Menu on my D3200.

    First try with rear curtain sync

    It seems to miss the point of rear-curtain flash. The idea is to show motion by having something moving in a specific direction, letting it blur in ambient light, and having the flash stop it at the end of the exposure. Here are some examples:

    Post your 70-200mm lens shots. (Any make any model)

    This is a Vivitar 85-205mm ƒ/3.8 “Tele-Zoom” lens, made some time in the late 1960s or early 1970s. I bought it in late 1986, along with a 1972-vintage F2 Photomic and two other lenses. Stopped-down to smaller apertures, it produces nice, sharp images, but at wider apertures, it has some...

    d750 to Instgram

    On my D3200, if I push the “OK” button while displaying a picture, which has been shot in raw, the first item on the resulting menu is “NEF (RAW) processing”. This produces a .JPG image from the raw image. Does the D750 not have this feature?

    Weekly Challenge May 24 - 31: Stairs or Stares

    Seeing the subject, playing on similar words, made me think, for some reason, of set theory, and of the intersection between the two sets of letters represented by those words. What if you take “stairs” and “stares”, and keep only those letters that appear in both? You get a third word...

    Have you been GELDED?

    Thread necromancy… Not completely useless, but not nearly as functional you'd like. The main limitation is that on a camera that isn't set up to control the aperture via the internal link, a G lens will only take pictures at its smallest aperture. This picture is the result of using the...
