    Third stop more, third stop less?

    My vote is for the 50 1.4D. I've had one for years, used it on film and digital (DX and FX) with great results. The first picture I took when my D600 arrived was with the fifty....

    Another goofy selfie.....

    I was too lazy to try this outdoors (in the dark) last night, so I shot it in my dining room. Put camera on tripod, used built in flash as commander to SB-800 (which I'm holding in my hand with umbrella), set timer and acted like I'm reading the manual....... More of a proof of concept than...

    D7000 stolen

    Well, my step-grandson, the heroin addict, did it again. About 4:30 a.m. yesterday, he got in our house for a quick grab and go and grabbed my Tamrac bag and my notebook computer. Luckily (if there was any luck in this) my D600 is off at Nikon for the free shutter service and he didn't have time...

    Ferguson First Hand

    The Ferguson, MO "situation" that I visited yesterday spans several blocks of 5-lane road. I worked in the middle of this back in the 70s, so it was interesting to see it under different circumstances other than the passage of time. Media HQ at the site of massive looting early on in the...

    Sent my problem free D600 off to Nikon today for free shutter service...

    So I have a couple of weeks where my D7000 will do (or I have access to an FX body), so I finally took Nikon up on their offer and sent my D600 off today for free shutter service. I bought it refurbed with 250 clicks and it now has about 13k after about 14 months of trouble-free use (other than...

    Shooting from the pit with a DX Nikon 17-55 or 24-70?

    I've already said that I like the 17-55, but after reviewing a bunch of concert and bar band shots, I find that almost all were taken with my old 80-200 or current 70-200. Very few shot with 17-55 or 24-70. Here's one from last year as an example.

    Post your Insect shots

    Quickie shot from this afternoon while my wife was out front watering some plants. Grabbed my D600, which had the 24-70 on it and rapid fired a half dozen shots of a couple of carpenter bees hanging around our cone flowers. Here's one of the shots, heavily cropped.
