I was going to throw in buying a refurb for $200 and then after using it figure out what you wanted as you save dollars for more, better, bigger, faster (but probably less fruity). But looks like the @Blacktop Laptop Store had a better idea first.:)

Decided to step out last night and look for comet dust. Had a clear sky, but not a very good location. Rather than walk out to a clearing with no man-light, I opted to play with a street lamp, a tree and a constellation. First click was a little overwhelmed by the street lamp, which created a...

Curious @Sandpatch , if your experience with your 5100 is similar to what @algmiyazaki describes, or if when yours does not flash, if covering the lens with hand makes is fire??

I must confess, this is click number two. Somebody forgot to check settings before click #1. But I suppose this was the first click after brain engagement. A reptilian rendezvous.

There's a couple photos in this, but figured it fits here cause it's more to do with the ant than the photographs. I'm watching this little anthill and these little ants zipping up and over the crater edge and into the hole, and back like Flash Gordon. I figure they were moving at a rate of...

Thought this was an interesting shot in that the depth of field is clearly visible on the surface of the concrete. The bug's body is roughly 1/8" wide and barely fits in the depth of field. Cropped view

Note: This post was copied from the topic "What did you learn Today?" in Learning Photography Forum as it seemed more of a bloggy idea. 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...

Note: This post was copied from the topic "What did you learn Today?" in Learning Photography Forum as it seemed more of a bloggy idea. 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...

Note: This post was copied from the topic "What did you learn Today?" in Learning Photography Forum as it seemed more of a bloggy idea. 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...

Note: This post was copied from the topic "What did you learn Today?" in Learning Photography Forum as it seemed more of a bloggy idea. 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...

Mount Kill-a-ant-jar-o Not that exciting, but an acceptable first click. I was attempting to catch an ant at the top edge of the "crater" and he veered right like an over-steered dirt-track race car. These little fellers just fly. Another first as I worked it thru LR5 just to play with the...

Maybe just a tad harsh. Thinking 1932 like this maybe. Sent by Chupa via Tapatalk

@eal1 Since the app is most of the usefulness it would be handy if someone who uses wireless with iPad app(s) wandered by this thread. There is a thread on iPad apps: http://nikonites.com/computers-software/3291-ipad-photography-app-suggestions-needed.html#axzz32Safk1Ho , but I don't know if...

Heard a rumor there was such an app, but had not got around to looking for it. Does not appear to be available for @eal1 's Apple gizmos, but guessing there is an app similar. I'll have to check it out, but even without camera controls, I would buy another WU-1a if/when I lose, break, step on...

But this mightbe the fun part; sharing images straight from the Nikon via the tablet Sent by Chupa via Tapatalk

Slow evening, so decided to play with the WU-1a a little more. Of course, Apple gizmos may be different, but I imagine, since it is a fairly simple app, not much. Basically, using the Wireless Mobile Utility app you can: - Use Live View on a tablet/phone - Actuate the shutter - Download a low...

I heard a bird outside the window this morning that was screaming (chirping) for me to come out and take it's picture. Took me a bit to get out the door and as usual the bird was gone and all the chirps I could hear were too distant for my taste. Shortly though, a flying creature of another...

Re: Eyelight Plays with Depth of Field This may be common knowledge, but something my film camera provided better info than the D3200. So, continuing to deepen my grasp of the way DOF works and perhaps come up with an easier way for my mind to see how DOF changes and determine what aperture to...
