    50, 85, or 2.8 zoom?

    So here's my potential new predicament- a friend of mine told me that a couple she was referred to as a dancer for their last-minute-planned wedding is looking for a photographer and referred me despite my general lack of experience in this particular field. I talked with the groom and told him...

    Remote Control Stuff

    Heck this reminds me, I gotta re-do some of the little studio ideas I started back when I saw all the oil spots and decided to send the 600 in.... I guess stay tuned, but here's at least one snap

    Post your D600/D610 photos

    Re: D600/D610 photos He let ya in real close.... Else, snap of a mate from last night, going full jpeg and testing the limits once again: @whatever EXIF says, VR on, 1/10, ISO5000, F/4.5, G? lol Know your subject vs shooting at fast enough speed. And well, musicians really don't tend to...

    Which exact AF config do you guys use for wildlife?

    Started playing around with all the options today, but want to get some opinions from all you vets. Clearly only single point is not enough, especially for birds, and the full-on 39 points seems to make it miss the subject if I'm panning through obstacles. Then there's 9 point and 21 (I think)...

    18-55 DX VR II - nice design update!

    Got to see one in person the other day after noticing it online and in N-Photo hand-in-hand with D3300 and I must say, it's probably the best basic kit for the lower end crops across the market as far as design goes. Internal focus? Yes! Retractable for proper compactness? Yes! Else it still...

    The Nikon Camera Book - $29.99

    Stupid me forgot to even take a snap to be sure when I flipped through it at Costco today, but after some digging and lack of the back cover image ANYWHERE online, I do believe this was the one: The Nikon Book Volume 1 Magazine Subscription, 1 Digital Issue*| Zinio - The World's Largest...

    Chat box?

    Would that be too much to mod and handle or somewhat feasible? It most likely wouldn't take away from posting, but would be nice for quick "hey"s and a bit of live chatter besides camping desired forums and posts. So, Mods, thoughts?

    My tiny first steps are now live.

    And it feels really good to have my work be put to its intended use. I've been covering my friend Christian's live painting sessions for about half a year now and my shots finally made it onto his site after a major update. The front page, And the Live Painting events page, And now I...

    Flash commander mode?

    So does 600 have a proper wireless one built-in or just a more formal optical that HAS to use the onboard one to trigger others?

    Post your D600/D610 photos

    Re: D600/D610 photos So nevermind getting awesome straight 24mp jpegs out of slightly tweaked P mode that only weigh 10mb a pop using space-savvy compression settings, but the 25$ Gary Fond noodle bowl I got really does work exactly as intended! Even, soft light exactly as I'd want it to be...

    Didn't realize that Nikon does in fact care about us

    Can't think of a better sub to post this in, but I never realized that crop mode on FF bodies was almost exclusive to Nikon. Such a simple feature that lets you recycle your DX gear even after you make the FF jump, yet Canon totally screws it customers by saying no. That said, well, why do...

    Some inspiration and a reality check

    How I Transitioned from Being a Hobbyist to Being a Pro Photographer Really have to agree with that article, also I got a better idea for a personal goal and seeing exactly how far I am from getting there. Really got to start re-working lots of my stuff and getting my s together or I'll never...

    35 1.8 DX on FX, in FX mode - impressive!

    Absolutely had to try this out since it's sadly my only >f/2 lens in my current lineup, and boy does that help in low light. So how bad is vignetting when using this in straight-up FX mode? Hardly any! And this is with vignetting removal off. This definitely makes my day instead of being...

    Body value depreciation

    Read some guy on DPR board complaining how his D4 lost so much value on the street market in mere 2 years, and it made me remember looking up what used 5100s go for these days (in a mere year of my ownership of a fresh one) - about 50-60% of the original value. Unlike that guy though, I feel...

    Aaand found & bought a decent 600.
