So I remember an older thread where someone was asking what this thing did since his lens wouldn't mount quite right due to it being there- I accidentally figured this out the other day and thought I would share- its a trigger made for AI-P/CPU lenses that tells the camera that the lens is...

Shopped- And my full on write-up: First Impressions – Nikkor 45mm f/2.8 AI-P | SKVORA LIMITED

Might see if I can convince one of my friends who's a total beginner to trade bodies (+ lenses and accessories on my end of things): my 5100 for his 7000. Rough market value right now seems to be ~$3-350 apart and it would be a pretty even deal. I feel that it will take him forever to fully...

Friend does mixed media and used 3 of my base shots for his Disco Zoo mini-collection. Had to come out to both support him and have my 15 seconds of fame (and drinks, heh). And, of course, had to ask a friend to take this blurry of both of us. Else, waiting for one guy to maybe send a good...

Only had access to one decent-ish spot, so most shots ended up about the same, but it took me ~15 mins to start nailing bikes. Don't know why some people even ask, "how do you shoot X," in our instant preview era :rolleyes: And full album here.

Started to organize my blog page a bit more and wanted to ask what all of you think thus far. It's no proper website just yet, but I feel it's a good start. Organized simply and to the point, as best as I could (on the free platform). Each pic links to the original album. Freelance Photography...

And my current requirements aren't making the choices any easier. I'm looking for something slim, light, durable and capable- 12-13" in size, at least core i5, as good of GPU as I can get. Must have battery life, must run photoshop smoothly for raw conversions, and be light and mobile enough...

Quite conveniently too since it's really pairs when it will come to taking them out- 18-70 DX, 70-300 VR (latest purchase, way overdue), 35 1.8G, 50 f/2. 18 and 300 can cover everything albeit with vignetting on the 18 wide open; 35 and 300 would probably be my main combo for low-light and far...

Full, big, album: https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.481374945265008.1073741840.434528646616305

Light and running into friends played out perfectly last night, so I got to snap a little bit of blading and do some myself once the sun set. and the rest of the album- https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.475554065847096.1073741834.434528646616305

Had no idea about this one and per steptoe's suggestion checked it out. Really impressed with how well they've done their magazine. Immense amount of great little ideas, tips, highlights of various photographers, gear reviews and suggestions, and most importantly its Nikon-only. I'd say all...

Type of thread I kinda liked at nikoncafe, but seems that we don't have one here. Idea is this- pick a street price level at which and below is considered inexpensive for lenses today and then post what lenses you got that fit this, how you like them, and of course some sample shots. This...

So, since my 8-bit oldie is quite notorious with a good few of you here, I figured I'd try and design something new. This, and its awfully hard to work with given what it was and how it was shot, is my next best bet. Disregard the word placement for now, did it as a test fit. This, jumping...

http://nikonites.com/d5100/12406-nikon-patch-d5100-%96-3rd-party-battery-check-removed.html If any of you brave souls would like to physically test this on a 3100, I'd love to know whether it works for you guys. It does on 5100.

Long story short, come have a little read and watch my lil vid. Nikon-Patch for D5100 – 3rd Party Battery Check Removed! | SKVORA LIMITED

Finally read up on what it really means, and so I want to ask this- if typically 85mm is considered a portrait lens, it is so for the angle of view/distortion it offers. So if a 50mm on a DX sensor offers ~75mm FX equivalent field of view, it might as well be that ~85mm equivalent, correct? And...

After plinking away for about 2 some months with a proper shooter, I definitely see myself starting to improve. I'd say mostly due to getting over the hype of a powerful new toy and focusing back on composition and new ideas. Not sure what my shutter count is up to right now, but I might just...

So far, my only experience regarding wedding snapping, and given that groom works for a wedding photo company the whole thing was more than professionally covered. I didn't want to get in the way, but had front row table seat so I made use of that as best I could. So these don't really really...

I remember watching some youtube video about the fact that regardless of what you set the aperture ring to, when you mount the lens on to the locking position, it opens it all the way up and then nothing budges it. Clearly the body doesn't know what the lens is and how to adjust aperture...

Decided to grab a used one to see how it would stack against the 18-55 VR. The front end doesn't twist when focusing, and auto-focus has manual override which I feel would be a bit nicer than only auto or only full manual. Also 67mm diameter instead of mere 52. And f3.5-4.5 instead of 5.6. Any...
