When dealing with macro/micro, the margin of error can be razor thin, and easily results in a miss! Hopefully, this will return later after a stint in Photoshop. WM

While photographing plants, I noticed this in one of the shots, so my attention shifted from flora to fauna. I really missed the eyes on the second shot, but the first looks as though I missed it all. It was cold and the fly wasn't moving much, but I must have breathed on it enough to...

Ok! I'm back home and no longer have just the 13" laptop to edit photos on. It's time to get serious!! WM

And while out shooting flowers, I couldn't pass this up. WM

While out shooting the cactus, this bugged me for a bit. After reviewing it, I realize I need to go over my autofocus settings and then run a focus calibration with this lens/camera combination. WM

Well, I've finally gotten the camera out for something that I want to do. Although it didn't go as well as I wanted it to, it's a start. My first shot is one of the blooms of my Mother's Christmas Cactus. WM

Went out to shoot a sunset since yesterday's was so beautiful. Only yesterday's sunset ended yesterday...:( So I opted for this, instead. Since I had only 28mm and 50 mm lenses, it figures that I would need something longer. The heron was very willing to put up with my photography of...

It took me a while, but I just finished reading Ayn Rand's Atlas Shrugged. Next up is Scott Kelby's Light it, Shoot It, Retouch It. WM

Last night, our local high school played in round two of the state playoffs. This link is to the band's half-time performance, which they put together in five days and one 2-hour practice. For the performance, my son played the bagpipes. This was only his second bagpipe performance this year...

I've recently received an e-mail advertising processing called Piccure +. I've read a couple of reviews and they were favorable, but I'd prefer to hear about it from anyone on Nikonites. Therefore, I ask, does anyone here use this software or is anyone familiar with it? WM

I ordered this Glow Parapop 38 from Adorama about two weeks ago. It throws a nice soft light, but it has been an adventure with Adorama's customer service department to get there. I tried it out quickly before I ran out the door to a shoot at the school last night, only to have my Pocket...

"Why didn't I ever think of that?" https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=10153064835961786&set=gm.1644533795806630&type=3&pnref=story WM

I picked this up during a recent trip to Orlando. It really is a whole lot faster than the USB 2.0 reader I had been using. WM

Walked into the store to buy another iMac and couldn't believe the price on this brand new 27-inch 5K, so I asked the clerk and got the snotty answer that of course, it's the right price. Are you sure, I again asked. He looked at it again, and his reaction changed drastically. Then he...

My son's high school band just received an invitation to participate in the 2017 Tournament of Roses in Pasadena, California, including marching in the parade on New Years Day of 2017. I'm still waiting on how much it is going to cost for the trip, but since there will be three of us attending...

My latest power trip!!!:rolleyes: 20 new rechargeable batteries, a 4-point charger and cases to carry the batteries in. WM

That at B&H Photo, they indicate the $300 instant saving on the D750 ends today, August 29, 2015. :( Has anyone else heard from any other source that today is the last day where you can buy a retail USA D750 for 1996.95? I've looked around quickly and see no other indications that today is...

After last night's game, I'm realizing that I've got a problem with either my 70-200 mount or my D700 mount. I'll do some work to determine which is more the culprit, and then send the item needing repair to Nikon USA or a service center for repair. Does anyone else have any experience with...

I've had my D7100 for a bit over a year, now. I just got done attempting to get the autofocus fine tuned, and took it out this afternoon and evening for a photo shoot, with my 70-200 AF-S f2.8 VRII. Well, all I have to say upon getting the images loaded to my computer after my return home is...

From my wife's quilter's vacation. For what she spent, I could have two D750s or a D810 and accessories!! :p I'd say I'll be getting that new D750 now, but I can't afford it! :( I'm now rethinking my earlier decision to not take the second shooter jobs at weddings. WM
