I made one kind of flyer into a different kind of flyer.

Looks to me like it needs more correction. Notice how the fence appears to lean inward, especially as it gets closer. I took that image, and applied a bit of correction with the colinearity function in Zoner Photo Studio, and got this:

The Horsehead Nebula wouldn't be in this shot.

At the top level in WMU, hit the menu button, then select “Exit” in the lower right corner.

There's also, now, AF-P, which is relatively new. The important thing is that it is lenses designated AF-I, AF-S, or AF-P that contain their own focus motors, and which can autofocus on camera bodies that do not have focus motors, as @tea2085's D3300.

I think I found the answer. From How to identify (and misidentify) Brown Widow: And from one of my pictures: It seems that this subtle, continuous lateral stripe across the front of her abdomen identifies this as a western black widow, and not a brown widow.

A Pholcus phalangioides, commonly known as the “Daddy Longlegs” spider, a name that is somewhat confusing as there are at least two other critters also known as “Daddy Longlegs” that are similar in size and appearance, but not related; one is an arachnid, but not a spider, and the other is the...

As others have said, you don't need any adapter to use FX lenses on a DX body. The only difference that FX vs. DX makes is that an FX lens has a large enough field to cover the larger FX-sized sensor, or a standard frame of 35mm film, while a DX lens has a smaller field, to only cover the...

Lots of clutter in the background, but the point of this picture is that, from the camera's point of view, most of it is over [this] fifty.

Oddly, it appears that I fixed the problem by installing the latest Distortion Control Update. That shouldn't be possible, should it? As far as I know, all that that update affects is the camera's ability to compensate for known distortion characteristics of certain lenses, in postprocessing...

Re: View finder dim with some sort of grid @nickt has it backward. Assuming a “G”-type lens, without an aperture ring, the lens should be normally stopped down to its smallest aperture, when not mounted. If it's not a “G” lens, then it will be at whatever aperture is set on the aperture...

Not taken with my Nikon, alas. At the time, I was about thirty miles away from it, on a rooftop, in a mall, in Roseville, helping to install a photovoltaic power system. I happened to look up, and I saw this, a 22° halo: I took this picture using my cell phone. I'm rather surprised...

Along the Ping Yuen block in downtown Sacramento, at night. The appearance of this scene as being brightly-lit is deceptive; in fact, it was very dark, and this was a one-second exposure at ƒ/5.3, ISO 3200.

Third entry: A close-up of the glitter in my wife's fingernail polish.

Second entry. Tonight, my wife and I revisited the same concept that we shot earlier this month—her, in a bubble bath, with glitter sprinkled on top of the bubbles. On the whole, I don't know that we got any better results that before. In some ways, I think this is better than the earlier...

I seem to be occasionally capable of feats of exceptional rock-steadiness in holding my camera. VR certainly helps, though. I don't know, for example, if I would have been able to take this picture without it; most people certainly couldn't. This was at a church Halloween party last year...
