    Photographer's Rights...

    My photo club recently had a rather spirited discussion on photographer's rights. One thing that was brought up was this site, which I thought I'd share here. It has a single page PDF printout that discusses some key points. Good stuff to know, I learned quite a bit just reading the PDF. I...

    Macro lenses...

    I'm interested in getting a macro lens. I shoot FX and DX, so the DX-only 85mm is out. I'm comparing and contrasting the 60mm and 105mm lens. Either is in my price range. I am not interested in non-Nikkor lenses, so those are the 2 I am interested in. My *current* interests in Macro would be...

    Tablet..

    Do you use a tablet? If so, what brand and model? After attending a Kelby Training event in Covington, KY last Friday, I have decided I should get one.

    My take on Degeneration...

    This week's photo theme reminded me of a photo I shot back in August - too old to fit within the rules of the contest - so I thought I'd post it here for critiquing. Earlier in the summer, my town started road construction, and I had to find an alternate route to get my kids from daycare in the...

    Light meter recommendations?

    Can anyone recommend a digital light meter that won't break the bank? For the sake of the discussion, my budget is $250, give or take. Going to be playing with some strobes in a home studio shortly, and would like to have a meter. I realize I can use the histogram and dial it in that way...

    Any NAPP members here?

    Greetings I got a Cyber Monday ad today from NAPP, saying that if you sign up today, you get 18 months for the price of 12. Are any Nikonites also members of NAPP? Or former members? Is NAPP worth the expense? I am a subscriber of kelbytraining.com and have learned quite a bit from it.. Any...

    Kids

    Curious what the general consensus is on this one. It's one of my wife's favorites - so it's a winner in that aspect. I have a stretched canvas of this on our living room wall, which was my wife's mothers day gift last year. But, technically, it's not a *great* photo. The shadow is kinda out...

    Sunflowers....

    Interesting idea on the crop, I guess I liked the barn so much, I never considered cropping it out. How's that?

    to D90 or not D90?

    Here are some 3200 ISO shots I took on a trip to the aquarium last year. This is with the 18-105 kit lens. Enlarged, you start to see noise, but it could be a lot worse when comparing it to other cameras - if you want a full resolution JPG, just PM me and I'll e-mail it to you, since I can't...

    Backups..

    Backups.. the 'dirty word' :) I'm an IT guy, and have been for going on 15 years now. I realize the importance of a good backup strategy, as I've had to recover my fair share of failed systems. Up until recently, backups hadn't been a huge concern for me - but my recently purchased D700 has...
