With a choice of 11 0r 51 focal points to choose from what is best? It makes sense to use 51 to me purely because they are there (I figure there must be a good reason) ... Does 51 chew up more battery? Does it give sharper focus? Talk to me and advise please. I am sure my mate Don Kuykendall...

Don I have a great camera and this image is so sharp because I spent hours fine-tuning it. ;) @RON I don't have the watermark on when I submit for competitions. Thanks for your great comments. @cwgrizz you make a good point about the water no longer looking like water singlerosas' version...

Being 1 week new to the D7100 I was wondering if I could assign a different button to set ISO. It seems a pain to have to remove my left hand from holding the lens in order to press the current button. I use the AE-L/AF-L button for back button focusing so thought I could use the Fn button. I...

Thought I better just post a photo here to keep things going. I must say not having to shoot every day is allowing me a lot of freedom to pursue other photography related stuff. This photo was a nothing shot but with a bit of a play in LR and PS it pops a bit. It was fun.

I don't think I have ever posted a photo to this thread but i would like feedback on this one. Please be harsh where required. I need both technical and emotional feedback. What is the picture portraying to you when you look at it? My thanks in advance

LOL Thanks @scott

I had an awesome lesson in basic photography with this guy today.

My first portrait with my D7100. The story behind the portrait. The subject is one Kerry Blakeney-Williams who is an international award winning member and a senior member of my local camera club. Kerry is a former university lecturer on photography. I put out a request on the clubs FB page...

I have the Tamron 90mm - the exact one mentioned in your original post and after much struggling (the depth of field is very narrow in macro photography) I am finally getting a handle on it. While it does have AF I find it is easier and better to manually focus (I think Scott will tell you the...

Great info and advice here MM @Chase_ well done on getting a great tutor! :)

Well I never thought or imagined I would be back here with what I got today! In addition to the above I haven't posted the following gear on this thread (D7100 also in this photo) Giotto tripod and ball head, Lowepro Sling Bag, D7100 and Keen Hiking boots

Some of the gear I have bought for this trip so far. From left to right: Giottos Silk Road series tripod with Giottos MH1300 Ball head Lowepro 202AW sling rucksack bag Nikon D7100 - not bought specifically for this trip but the trip was a major influence in my decision to be reckless Keen...

I want to buy a ND filter and have no idea what density to go for. Small window of opportunity to purchase from USA as my flat mate is going over next week. These things cost a fortune over here so I figure to get what I need while she is there. So do I get a 4 stop filter or a 10 stop...

I want to buy a spare battery for an upcoming trip. My preferred supplier would be Adorama but when I did a search for "Nikon Lithium Ion Battery Pack EN-EL14" exactly as on my current battery the results don't show any such battery although there was a Nikon Lithium Ion Battery Pack EN-EL14h...

Now this I enjoyed! Yesterday was a pretty normal day in that I was lazy. Decided very late to go down to the river as the sky looked promising and I thought I might just get something over the water. No such luck so I set the tripod up and took a pretty ordinary set of 3 shots of the park...

There were some cool hats and outfits on display yesterday. I think Kiwis have some sort of affinity with the old Wild West

Not quite sharp enough but I still like this shot. Could have been a really good one if I had a D7100 :) (only kidding)

Went to a Rodeo this morning and overall I am disappointed with my photos as they are not as sharp as I was hoping. Still working my way through them. Here's one for now. And then my usual portrait of an angel. She had the loveliest eyes and big brother was looking after her. I sent him off...

Thanks Brad. Yeah I have learned to step back a bit thanks to all the help from you guys on here. This lens is quite amazing. Here is a shot straight out of camera of the tiniest of spiders. His body is no bigger than a pinhead and I only spotted him because I was zeroing in on a flower...
