Thought I would try some sort of a regular photo post, to encourage myself to learn something new. So, these pics won't necessarily be the best shot, but the shot that I gave a little thought before clicking. I do plan to post only the first shot of the day, though may not post every day's...

You can search member galleries, which works pretty good, but I could not figure out how to search for photos that were included in posts. 500px.com might be the best for what @grandpaw is looking for, as their platform shows what is most popular on the site. Another option is Google or Bing...

It's been a photographically eventful day. Started out working on a shortcut method of keeping track of DOF, but was sidetracked by focusing issues. The initial subject was a pair of concrete blocks. Several sessions and 52 photos later I had determined I cannot hold a camera as steady as I...

Was out in the yard earlier practice focusing and keeping the camera steady at 200mm when I spied this little furry, slow moving critter. I circled around, keeping what I thought was a safe distance. Managed to get a few decent shots, before it raised up on it's hind legs and bared it's teeth...

My feet get heavy at times. Could that be a symptom? As @grandpaw said, we trade comfort for results. The advantage pf DX cameras is they are lighter and smaller, but if you want/need the advantages of FX, then you trade the comfort to get it. It will get better. In the old days, they used a...

You know. I like the lines. The title for this work is "The hippie against the squares." My first attempt at an eye transplant. Actually the first was when I flipped the eye, but that made her look for the bug on her nose again. The result you see was: - reflection removal in left eye with...

I don't know if it needs to be cropped. It's one of those shots that says, "I'm different". I thought seeng both eyes would be good. Same here if you prefer, I can remove.

My eye see this.

Read something the other day that I'd never heard; the idea that depth of field would remain constant as focal length changes provided the subject occupies the same portion of the image. So, set about using the tape measure to replicate the thought into reality. The application would be that...

My general thoughts are a lens designed for the shot is going to perform better than one modified, i.e. extension tubes. However, many an excellent photo has been made with less than ideal. The direction I was interested in moving from the D3200 Kit lenses was macro and I opted for the Micro...

This is what I learned today. Trying to come up with an easy way to explore the depth of field on the 55-200mm, so I set up the D3200 on a tripod aimed at the 10' mark on a tape measure. Using mode A and taking a shot at each aperture setting. Rotated and cropped each shot and added the...

Eyelight Plays with Depth of Field Been too long away from creative photography and trying to refresh the old knowledge and learn about new equipment. Basic idea is to plan a shot, take the shot and learn. Plan was to make the toaster the subject and remove the bananas as subject by...

I mentioned using Live View in post #30 to avoid the mirror movement and @aroy pointed out the mirror does not stay up on the D3200. Reference posts #30, #32 & #33. It puzzled me that the viewfinder stays dark, so I put the question to Nikon. Received a response that answered half my...

@Dave_W makes perfect sense, but only after reading @WayneF to a clueless one such as I.

Was playing around with Elements Organizer 11 and think I may have found the lost spirit of an ancestor or maybe just a cow.

Here is one app for Windows Phone called Photo Caddie, but I'm thinking it is also available on the Fruit & Robot phones. It has more features than the DOF calc. Seems decent, but I have not punched all the buttons yet. Basically you select a camera, add the various inputs and then flick to...

All the little Nikonites combined is like The Great Photographer of the Mountain. So, one of the things I have learned in my short visit to the Mountain is the value of post processing the average image. I have used PS Elements 11 mostly for cleaning up scans of film, but sitting at the feet of...

Epson seems to have a good handle on film scanning. I have an older Epson RX625 that scans amazingly well. Takes a long time, so I'm working on a setup like @BackdoorHippie mentions, figuring it to be a lot faster. Also figured buying a micro lens was a better investment, if it can do the...

I’m kind of doing this backwards, but in my defense, this is the first online community I have found that New Folk Introductions seem to mean much of anything, so I had not even looked at it until this evening/morning. Along the same lines, it is one of the better operated forums of the...

It usually takes a moment for the camera to appear in the Transfer window at location indicated by the red mark in screen capture below. Click on the camera and the images on the camera will show in the lower window where the blue mark is in image below.
