An early attempt on Day 2 with the new (to me) D800. Do you guys see any red lights or reflections in the tree? When I printed this, there was no red in the print, even though I see those reds on my screen.

I'm finally taking the plunge to 36mp, moving up from my D600s to a used D800 from Craigslist. I'll be looking at it later today. Price is $1,500. He's had it on Craigslist for a month, and he finally brought the price down to something I'm willing to pay. Are there any known issues with the...

Yep, all I got was a plane. Maybe my settings didn't allow enough light. I saw a faint meteor with my eyes while setting up. ​

The auto-focus on my AF-S Nikkor 28-70 2.8 (precursor to the modern 24-70) went kaput during a class last week. Nikon estimates $600 to repair the lens. I bought it for $800 in the last year... Ugh. Final decision: buy a new Tamron 24-70 2.8 with VR (VC) to replace it. That done, I decided...

Last night I picked up my D600 to get a few quick shots of some dinner party guests. They were all overexposed, even though the camera's exposure comp was set to 0 and the flash TTL setting was -1/3. I realized after the party that the camera was set to Auto-ISO, which I had been playing with...

My second entry. Shot this today at a class, and the instructor said that anything you shoot with instruction you cannot enter into competition... but I think I just did.

Good find. Here it is without having to click through:

I keep seeing ads for Alien Skin, and the recent ad showing a black-and-white photo looked great. Does anyone here use these plug ins? Are they automatic, like Look Up Tables? Or do you have to adjust a myriad of settings, which you can already do in Photoshop? At the Alien Skin website, it...

The itch to actually print large photographs has been growing lately. Whitewall.com had an ad in the newest Shutterbug, so I decided to give them a shot with a pic of my wife that I really like. My custom sized print was 36" x 20", and I ordered it printed on acrylic. Whitewall puts aluminum...

After months of watching, Craigslist finally yielded a great local deal on the long-coveted Nikkor AF-S 17-35mm 2.8 ED lens. It was only $600 (less than half of new) because the zoom is a little sticky, but the auto focus does not squeak and it seems perfectly sharp in my initial tests today at...

I was playing with some portrait correction software and made this. Hope you don't mind; I just wanted to see what the software could do, and it looks pretty good for 9 minutes work. Added catchlights to the eyes, too. You did a great job, and had a great model.

Nikonpup reminded me of this one:

You're right. Galaxy phones do a great job when nothing else is available. The colors are more saturated than most DSLRs, but that makes them look good on a screen. Lunch break on Tennessee fishing trip Sun hitting my fish eggs... Storm clouds over the theater (and the power did get...

For some reason, reminded me of...

Sorry to cross post, but this is a recent shot of our golden retriever that looks really good when printed at 8.5" x 11".

Shot with new (to me) Nikkor 28-70 2.8 AF-S.

Here's my effort...

Nikkor 70-200 2.8 VRI, shot last Saturday. My daugther and her fiance.
