    Playing with new lens and flashes

    I went out this morning and did a bunch of shots before sunrise with my flashes, I think ill need a third flash, I wasn't able to fill all the dark spots with the 2 I have. I also did a 2 bracket shot without flash and merged them, the sky was a lot brighter then I think with a third light and...

    How do you store your gear?

    I just got a Pelican 1600 case, figured all the money put in the camera and accessories, might as well get something that protects really well. I really don't mind it not being that portable, its only for toting it in the car and to and from places, I have the camera out and in my hands any...

    Traded 18-200mm for 17-55mm

    I read all the great things about the Nikon 17-55mm f/2.8 lens, and found a used one online about the same price I could sell my 18-200 for so I got it right away, its much sharper than the 18-200mm, and quieter, definitely feels a lot sturdier too. My co-worker makes hair bows and I take the...

    Got some wireless flashes

    Started messing with off camera flashes, got 2 SB-600's and a SU-800 commander. I use it a lot for product photos with light stands, but I figured I'd have some fun with them too so I took some pictures out in the parking lot of work this morning. Going to take pictures of my own car by itself...

    My car with software added grad filter

    Had some neat clouds yesterday, and took some more car pictures, I haven't ordered actual filters yet so I used Camera RAW's grad filter to fix the difference between the sky and ground, the darker picture is original exposure. It was a + 2 difference according to the slider, dont know if that...

    Graduated ND filter vs Camera Raw?

    Now that I have my new 18-200mm lens I'm contemplating filters for it since my 52mm filters are too small, I want a graduated ND filter, but does anyone know if there is a huge difference between using the filter, or just applying on digitally in Camera RAW? If someone has both could they do a...

    Star trails!!

    Very excited I finally tried to get some star trails. This was 32min at ISO 100 F/11 and 18mm on 18-200mm The long exposure noise removal feature was off, and no noise removal was done on the computer If you view the full size picture you can even make out the logos on the food exit sign in...

    First Shot with D5100 from Best Buy sell

    Ahhhhh ok How is this They are all about the same diameter, I thought the 18-200mm would be much bigger but it really isnt If the older lenses are half the size that would be pretty small, it would be a very compact camera

    Here are some shots comparing the 18-55 and the 18-200mm at 18 and 55 mm Using the very scientific "Tootsie roll in bubble gum machine" method I hand held it though, so Ill have to test sharpness when I get home and can get my tripod 18-55mm @ 55mm 18-200mm @ 55mm 18-55mm @ 18mm...
