    Bracketed shooting and Auto ISO

    I don't shoot bracketed that much any more, so this may be old news to many but it's something I've not noticed before. As I shot a 3 image sequence yesterday (+/-3 EV) my camera was in Aperture priority mode with Auto ISO on. Auto ISO was set so that the shutter speed was at the "FASTER" end...

    Depth of Field and Sensor Size - Another Good Article

    This subject comes up rather often and almost always sparks some misunderstanding regarding terminology or something minor. So, before you ask again, read this... Understanding Full-Frame vs Crop-Sensor Impacts on Depth-Of-Field And Perspective - DIY Photography

    My Yongnuos Failed Me In The Worst Possible Way

    I've been in Florida for the last 10 days. Part of the trip, and the real reason we went when we did, was to celebrate my in-law's 50th wedding anniversary. Elsewhere on this forum you'll find a post about how a wedding photographer utterly failed at my nephew's wedding and lost a major block...

    Circular Polarizers and Rainbows - Just Say No

    I recently started using a CPF outdoors. Never did before, but everyone swears by them for landscapes and I do notice that I can get better skies for sure. So, I'm down in FL visiting my Mom and she's yelling at me to come outside and take a photo of this rainbow. I grab my camera, go out...

    Shots from a Bike Run

    Was at the Easton Farmers' Market last week and they had more streets shut down than usual. It seems there was a motorcycle rally to raise money for the families of cops who were killed in the line of duty, with 2 local officers named specifically. So, I got diverted from my normal shooting...

    Comparison of ALL Nikon Camera Buffer Capacities

    If you shoot in Continuous mode this is one of your important numbers to know watch. What struck me here is that the D600 and D610 are different (looking at 14-bit), with the D610 being lower. I suspect it's because in the 2.x seconds it takes to fill the buffer, the 5.5fps D600 fills it...

    The D750 vs. the D610

    Rather than post this in one of the various "Should I buy/preorder/upgrade to the D750?" threads I thought that this comparison from the folks at Photography Life deserved a thread of its own (and maybe a sticky?). Nikon D750 vs D610 The only thing I didn't see that I'd want to see was...

    Be Careful How You Set The Function Of Slot 2

    I asked about this in another thread, but I've since done some investigation and come to the bottom of what I see as a flaw in the firmware of Nikons with 2 SD slots. I did some internet searching and I could not find anything on this specifically other than to give a recommended setting for...

    Buffer Clear Rate Differs By Slot 2 Function

    OK, folks, I've not experienced this before, and I can't seem to find if this is normal. I've replicated this for both the D600 and D610, but haven't checked it for other cameras yet. Camera is set up to shoot RAW images only, not RAW plus JPEG. Slot 1 has a 92Mbs Sandisk Extreme Pro card...

    Strange Buffer Clearing Issue Last Night

    After an exhausting day at work I was happy to grab my D610 and head out to see a free concert with Coco Montoya in Bethlehem last night. I brought the D610 (w/grip) and 70-200mm f/4, and stuck the EyeFi card in there to possibly upload jpegs to Facebook during the evening. After originally...

    How about an actual Education section under Learning Photography?

    When I look under Learning Photography I really don't see any subforum that has anything to do with actual learning, it's just a list of styles. And while I realize that there are methods and techniques specific to each type, it seems that the parent forum is a catch-all for everything and...

    Before You Hurt Yourself...

    ...reaching around to pat yourself on the back, take note. Every once in a while, after more than your share of compliments, you stumble onto a page where someone is shooting pretty much the same thing you are shoot, and what they are producing not only blows your work away, but it does it...

    Adding Attachments to PMs

    I'm sure we've all run into this before, but in PM'ing someone is there a reason we can't attach a photo? I can link to something in the gallery, so why can't I at least link to something I've already attached in a previous post the same way I would using the Manage Attachments button on the Go...

    Respecting The Location

    Read this today and decided to pass it on. I'm generally not the kind of person, let alone photographer, that can imagine themselves walking onto a site or into an area that is privately owned, and then act like I own the place. Heck, I've actually had people thank me for asking about...
