    where is nikon heading?

    looking at the numbers I have to say that nikon is not in a good situation just looking at their last quarterly revenue it paints a very worrying picture. the stock dropped 11% in one day and stock is the lowest in 4 years. and almost every quarter since then has been bearish. this is not...

    You're Using Your Camera Wrong...

    shooting from the hip is a technique not so much a photography rule. a dumb one but a technique. I dont like chicks videos so much only because her videos are dumbed down. I didnt learn anything from the different videos she has and I saw quite a few. but I guess she aims her videos at newbies...

    3rd party gear (grips also) have come a LONG way since the D90 was a mainstream camera. were talking about 7 years ago. quality of the plastics, fit and finish is completely different. look at the flashes in the pic. one from 4 years ago. the one released recently. they are not in the same...

    I own a D750 which prime should I buy.

    you can use a prime but zooms are also good and very flexible as @oldsalt man said. not everything has to be shot at f1.4-2. personally, for 24-50, id use primes then above that, the 70-200 2.8 can handle anything else. yu can do some nice sniping with a 70-200 and be inconspicuous. great...

    cheap chinese extension macro tubes from ebay- $6

    no adjustments, just resized in PS. was at a concert yesterday and tired as hell so have no energy to go out to shoot flowers and such. besides I wanted to shoot familiar things so you can sense size. this is not excessive manification but dof is short (shot at f/8) and very hard to get focus...

    cheap chinese extension macro tubes from ebay- $6

    I have the 105VR but its use in weddings is very small. sniping guests and for makeup/prep shots of the bride. I dont use it often and it sits in my bag a lot. I have a PK11A macro tube but its not enough magnification. I had the kenko extension tubes but have no idea where the heck I placed...

    Doing a wedding under protest.

    you have to decide if you want to keep it simple and focus on getting the shots or you want to take it up a notch and do aesthetics as well. im very surprised you arent able to get proper expsoure with the flash bounced because the ceiling is VERY low. problem is in photos things look different...

    Doing a wedding under protest.

    what gear do u use it with @Bill16 ? was it a bit unnerving at first to have it hanging like that? haha was wondering if I could even go down to the plastic spider black widow vs the spiderpro. or actually I dont know what that AIG holster is in the video, but it looks like an exact clone to...

    export settings for lightroom-QUALITY?

    I did a corporate event and the lighting in one of the rooms were very yellow with windows everywhere and I wanted to fix the white balance. I knew it would be a problem so I shot raw here. I also had to shoot raw so I could pull back some highlight blow out of the papers they were signing. I...

    Color Blind

    no the 2nd pic is very saturated and almost looks like a simpsons show haha mostly it looks like this. similar to the first. but depends on different factors including what the camera picture control was and how it was exposed but the lower one is very saturated.
