Just wanted to give anyone with an Instagram account a heads up that MeFoto has been giving away free stuff every Friday for anyone tagging them in their photos. The current giveaway is for their Sidekick, a tripod attachment to hold a Smartphone. Not sure how often I'll use it, but mine...

I've always been a person who likes a traditional camera strap, and the Domke Gripper is my favorite as it manages to hang onto my shoulder no matter what I'm wearing. But, I do enough tripod and inside stuff where straps can get in the way, swing in the wind, etc., that there are times I want...

(I was tempted to call this, "How I Can Fart Out Edits With Infrared", thanks to a comment that @Pretzel made in another thread, but I decided to be a little less playful. :) I had originally wanted to put this in the tutorial section, but since it requires moderation first, and I need to...

...can we just please just assume that they, by now, fully understand the nightmare that is/was the shutter issue?! Every time someone brings it up it's the same stuff ad nauseum. I know some folks are bitter about it, but enough already, OK?! If someone is seriously considering picking one...

I just created a new thread to post IR shots... http://nikonites.com/learning-photography/21536-post-your-infrared-shots.html#post284311 ...but it did not take the formatting I had in the original post. When I go to edit it, it just waits and I cannot connect. At the same time, the new...

Since there's no IR forum (yet) I thought I'd at least start a thread where anyone shooting IR can post their Infrared shots (I didn't see one already). My hope is that in addition to posting photos folks will also talk a bit about the post-processing applied to each, particularly if it...

If you're in the market for a Nikon, TechRadar has a comparison of 11 current Nikon offerings. Don't know if this helps or not, but it's worth a read if only to bullet the Pros and Cons, pick a couple and then head to the NikonUSA site to click on 3 or 4 and do a complete side by side spec...

I went to do some more chess shots this morning and stumbled upon something very disconcerting. I was shooting with my 24-120mm f/4G and decided I wanted more depth of field, so I grabbed my 85mm f/1.8G. I had been shooting at 120mm on the zoom, so imagine my shock when I put the prime on and...

Seems @hark hasn't posted in 11 days. Anyone heard from her?

This frame game is making me crazy, and I'm enough a DIY-er that I will not pay someone to custom cut mats for me when I suspect I can justify the cost of one just with the framing jobs I want to do for the house. For those of you who do your own framing, what's a good mat cutter to get? I've...

Nasim followed up his D600/610 walkthru with one for the D800, for those so inclined. Always easier than reading the manual ;) Recommended Nikon D800 / D800E Settings

Nasim does a great walkthrough of the settings on his D600/610 in his latest post. I've been shooting with mine for almost 16 months and I still got something out of it. Worth taking the time to read if you have one or are considering getting one. Recommended Nikon D600 / D610 Settings

This popped up among the weekly deals from B&H today. No space for a laptop, but for one camera and a few lenses on a hike this looks pretty ideal. No experience with the brand. Kata Minibee-110 PL Compact Backpack (Black) KT PL-MB-110 B&H

Not my words, but a question asked by author and photographer going by the moniker planetMitch. He's a Canon 5D enthusiast and he asked the question to a bunch of industry insiders and put the responses together in an eBook which is currently available as a name-your-price (i.e. free if you...

Saw on N-Photo that Nikon is replacing Capture NX-2 with an NX-D version that will be free. Capture was a far more powerful RAW editor than ViewNX but came at a price. So the fact that it's free is awesome, because you can't beat that. Unfortunately, likely due to Google now owning the U-point...

Shot this yesterday for my 365. I'm wondering which of these presentations you prefer? I'm waffling (breakfast pun) between the 4x5 and 1x1 for a wall hanging. A friend of mine has a gallery that works with a lot of home remodeling folks (he also does custom furniture, so it's a nice...

Composition should start before you ever raise the camera to your eye, but that said, there are times when you need to square things away after the fact. Sometimes it's simply a matter of straightening a horizon and others it's all about cropping away the extra stuff you planned to crop before...

Just got an email from B&H with some amazing deals, including LR5 for $69. Each email has a single use promo code, so you need to be on their list to get it, but there are some deals in their that don't require one, like... D7100 w/ 18-140mm bundle for $1296.95 Tiffen 77mm ND400 (10 stop) for...

Got notified that there was an update to Creative Cloud this morning. After the update was applied, the first image I opened sat there in Photoshop all by itself - all the toolbars and workspace palates were gone. Thankfully I have my default saved and it was quick enough to get it back, but...

Since I first learned about the differences between DX and FX cameras (which, to my great embarrassment was not until after I purchased my first DSLR) the mathematics explaining the differences between them has always been a little confusing to me. For example, they say the DX sensor has a 1.5X...
