You won't get close enough to a hummingbird to use the mini flashes. Here's a shot from my back yard. Heavy crop, D7000 w/80-200 2.8 and 2 SB-800s triggered with SU-800 (part of R1C1), shot at dusk. I'm about 15' from the subject.

Winter here as well, so I did some light painting on some roses my wife brought home..... D600 w/24-70 2.8 f/8 ISO 100 2.5 sec

D600 is back and we went downtown today to take some postcard photos. Excellent day here in St. Louis, after some recent chilly weather. Anywho, cruised down by the Arch and grabbed a few shots of what looks like Lunar Landing Man. Turns out he's Brad, a man of Jesus, flying the Christian...

So here's what it did for me in LR4 on a shot I did last year. Main thing I like is the variety of borders. AND, it gives you layers in Lightroom which is kinda cool.

Here's a shot I did a while back of a 4 pack a Crayons. Nikon D600 with Tokina 100mm macro. ISO 100, f/14, 1/160 sec. Off camera flash - 2 SB-800s; one on each side of glass on manual. Had I not been goofing around, I would have taken more time to eliminate the flash reflection in the water...

I'm going old school. Had a batch of slides from the late 70's scanned and got them back today. This was among the family photos. I was a very bad shot back then with my FM and 50 1.8. But in my defense, EVERYTHING WAS MANUAL. Shot on Kodachrome, with my Nikon camera, I love to take...

Grabbed a shot of my Audi TT plowing through the snow. OK, so it's not my full-sized TT........ D7000 w/24-70 Partial motion blur Layer in CS6

My experience is that you will never get a whole flower or anything to come out sharp taking a single photo. (see focus stacking) I suggest picking a part of the subject that you want in focus and going from there. If you're shooting handheld, shoot a burst of shots while moving the camera...

speaking of f/16, here's a shot I took in late 2012 of a model Porsche, lit by an LED flashlight. 3 sec, ISO 100 and f/16. D7000 w/Tokina 100 2.8 macro

St. Louis was hit with 6-18" of snow yesterday and our dogs (especially Skittles) love to play outdoors. Here's the latest shot from our backyard romp. D7000 w/70-200VRII, ISO 400, f/9, 1/1000 sec. Cropped & edited in LR4

I find that manual focus works best for macro shots. On the rare occasion that I shoot a portrait with my 100 2.8, I will let it auto focus and it seems to work OK. I think most tutorials will suggest using manual focus for macro shooting. Here's one from the Holidays

Nikon D7000 w/ 70-200 2.8VRII ISO 100, f/8, 3 sec. Here's one hand held of the tree at my wife's bar. - D7000 w/ 24-85 VR ISO 100, f/4, 1.3 sec.

If you have a zoom, you can do the usual zoom on lights to give a nice effect. In the shot below, I zoomed a 70-200 lens while tapping on the tripod to get the light painting effect.

I noticed it this past week with my D7000, 24-70 and SB-800, shooting in my wife's bar. I'm using the D7K while my D600 is in the shop. I had much difficulty getting autofocus to work and had many shots with back focus issues. I don't recall having such issues with the D600 and 24-70 (or the...

I joined the D600 version of the Club on 12/12. 24-70 and SB-800. Sitting on top of my backpack/sling and knocked over by an employee.

Since I was goofing around, I tried my 24-70 @ 70 and my 70-200 @200 almost shot the holy trinity for Christmas!

Popped the Tokina 100 2.8 macro on the 7000 (D600 still in shop) and grabbed this. ISO 100, f/7.1, 2 sec., 1 SB-800 shot manual @ 1/16th SOOC Happy Holiday Weekend to all!

From 2004. Merry Christmas.
