    D800/E auto-focus issue "press release"

    I wish this were a real press release. Nikon is taking a lot of heat for this problem and the longer they take to come out and say something the worse things will get Nikon D800/D800E Autofocus Issue - USA Press Release

    Swingers (beware - more images of grandkids)

    You all might get the impression that I only take photos of my grandkids since that's about all I post. I do take other photos but for some reason the images I take of these two bring me a lot of happiness. The color effect I'm going for is a Velvia-like look with a soft contrast to it, almost...

    MONSTER heirloom tomato!!

    Finally this gi-huge-ic heirloom tomato is turning red. It's the biggest tomato I think I've ever grown. I put a 25 cent quarter on it to give a little perspective. Man, I can't wait to get this baby in a BLT!!

    D800 battery grip - does anyone have an opinion on MeiKe grips?

    I would really like to get a grip on my D800, both for the extra battery and the additional stability a grip offers when hand shooting (especially with this megapixel beast!) and frankly, the $400+ Nikon wants for their battery grip is extortion, plain and simple. And I won't be a party to it...

    Nice in-depth read on how a camera obtains its focus

    I love reading Mansurov's blog. I'm very much looking forward to his up-coming entry all about the D800 and the AF issue and what Nikon is doing to fix it. In the mean time he's laying the groundwork with blogs leading up to it. How Phase Detection Autofocus Works

    Over 6,000 photographs from all over the world - awesome!

    How cool would it be to follow this guy's lead, buy your plane tickets and grab your backpack and go! I imagine he used the timer function to take these images but how do you think he strung them together into a video style presentation? 17 Countries, 343 Days, 6,237 Photographs: A Five Minute...

    Grand kids at the park (golden triangle study #1)

    I watch these two little monsters every Wed and since I've been pointing a camera at them since they were hours old, they don't pay any attention to me and the camera and go about their normal routines. While my D7000 was in the shop, I used a loaner D3200. It's a nice camera and all but in the...

    Who does their own printing?

    How many people here print out their photographs themselves? About 2 months ago I purchased an Epson R2000. I read a ton of reviews and it became clear that the Epson R2000 was the D7000 of printers. It's right there in the middle, not a consumer printer but not quite a full pro printer but...

    I wonder how many numbers this lens will have on the left hand side of the decimal point? My guess is at least 5.... See here - A new AF-S Nikkor 800mm f/5.6 VR lens is coming soon | Camera News at Cameraegg

    I'd love to learn to make images like these! Any Photoshop gurus in the house?

    How cool is this?!? It seems like it might not be all that hard to replicate but I'm not nearly experienced enough to say exactly how I'd do it. We Are Nature: New Multiple Exposure Portraits by Christoffer Relander | Colossal Anyone willing to type up a tutorial for this?...please? :)

    Why Photography?

    I've often wondered why photography? Why I, and so many like myself, are so attracted to photography. Could it be as simple as the innate desire to make art? Historians mark the emergence of the human mind at the point where art objects enter the fossil record. Endowing a utilitarian object with...

    MC-36 wired remote

    My new MC-36 arrived today. The original plan was to use my inexpensive MC-DC2 that goes with my D7000 but of course it does not work on the D800, nor does the inexpensive wireless ML-L3 (go figure). So I ordered the fairly expensive ($179) 10-pin remote MC-36. And as I'm reading over the...

    Does D7000 mirror box assembly contain the shutter mechanism?

    Does anyone know if the shutter would automatically be replaced if you had your mirror box assembly replaced? Not too long ago I reported to Nikon that my D7000 had oil spots on the OLPF and they replaced my entire mirror box rather than simply cleaning the filter (which it turns out is the...
