    The Backdoor Hippie's Ranchopalooza of Inconsistently Posted Images - 2013 Version

    Regular photographers must use back door. (I need to make a sign for that!!) I don't have the ability to commit to a 365, and I don't feel like dumping my occasional stuff into other people's threads, so I'll use this to stick all my non-HDR stuff - and probably the occasional HDR image...

    The new phonebook's here!! The new phonebook's here!!

    Things are going to start happening to me now!! :cool: As cruelty was visited on Navin R. Johnson, my new D800 arrived on the last possible UPS truck yesterday, after I had completed the errand I needed to run to a little town along the Delaware (I had to shoot with my D600 instead). It's...

    D7100 Sample Images

    For the curious, Nikon France has D7100 samples up on Flickr, with viewable/downloadable 6000x4000 jpgs. Nikon D7100 - a set on Flickr Nice, but I don't know that I'm blown away. Definitely doesn't touch the IQ of an FX, but it's at least as good as the D7000 with perhaps a little better...

    Gloves?!

    Winter is almost over, so it may be a little late to ask, but does anyone have any recommendations for gloves that will allow you to retain some feel for the camera (i.e. allow you to get to those buttons and switches by feel while you're looking through the viewfinder) while also protecting...

    Nikon Rumors says D7100 is not positioned to replace the D300

    I posted links to this in the other threads where I'm talking about buying and then not buying a D7100, but thought it might be easier to post a separate thread about it. Good news for the Nikon DX world, though as the Nikon response states, there are no guarantees or timelines for a D300...

    D7100 buffer size - it will fill in one second?!

    Interesting review from nature photographer Jason Odell. In it he manages to expose something that I looked for and couldn't find - one of the things I was sure Nikon would make sure they didn't let happen... Frame Buffer: Ok, I had to dig around to find this, as it isn’t on Nikon USA’s...

    Urban Exploration (Urbex)

    Anyone here venture into the world of urban exploration? I've been absolutely fascinated by some of the photos I've seen on 500px in that category and am feeling a compulsion to give it a try. My biggest stumbling block is that my location gives me far more opportunity to do Rural Exploration...

    Help me, I'm bleeding!!

    Bleeding edge, that is. Did some pondering and cyphering today (just wish it was by a cement pond). There's lots of time for it when you're in a 40 mile funeral procession. With almost $100 in B&H dollars in my account I decided to pull the trigger on a D7100 pre-order. Went back and forth...

    Interesting take on More MP's and why it's valid

    An interesting take on why more megapixels is "better", even if you're not printing big or cropping severely. The Bigger Reason Why Megapixels Matter for Photo Enthusiasts | The Luminescence of Nature Photography Blog

    Vivian Maier - Street Photographer

    A friend of mine sent me this link. Absolutely fascinating photographer, whose work may never have seen the light of day. http://www.messynessychic.com/2013/02/18/found-at-auction-the-unseen-photographs-of-a-legend-that-never-was/ Can't wait to see the documentary.

    Can we get a General Photography or Photography Miscellany forum?

    There's stuff that I find that I think will be of interest related to photography in general, but not to any particular type of photography, and yet it doesn't belong in Off Topic, so I struggle where to put it. Any chance we can get something generic?

    Is adding a D800 to my D600 the right thing to do?

    My experience with shooting my D600 side by side with my D7000 over the past few months has me thinking that abandoning DX for a complete move to FX may be the right thing for me to do. Not that the D7000 is a slouch, but the IQ on the D600 is that much better, and with the D800 I believe I'd...

    Will Yurman - A Day, A Photo

    There are several people here doing 365 projects and the like, so I thought this might interest and inspire some of them, and also inspire those of us who just look for the photos in every day life. About a year ago my brother was telling me about a printing project he was doing for a guy named...

    Sigma 24-70mm f/2.8 IF EX DG HSM AF Zoom

    I purchased this last October with the intention of making it my primary walking around lens for my D7000. Less than a month later the D600 sale had me moving to FX and this lens became redundant. This is an FX lens. That said, if you read reviews if it gets any knocks it's at the corners and...

    Nikon 55-200mm f/4-5.6G ED IF AF-S DX VR Nikkor Zoom Lens

    "As New" 55-200mm zoom. I got this with a D90 in a trade with my Mother In-Law who found that DSLR photography was "not as easy as it looks". To my knowledge this lens was only used in the shop that she purchased it and never again until I tested it yesterday. No scratches of any kind, perfect...

    Nikon 18-105mm f/3.5-5.6 AF-S DX VR ED Nikkor Lens

    "Almost New" 18-105mm zoom. I got this with a D90 in a trade with my Mother In-Law who found that DSLR photography was "not as easy as it looks". It's never lived without its UV filter and has probably taken less than 100 photos - a lot less. Comes with everything you see here, including the...

    Nikon 28-300mm f/3.5-5.6G ED VR II AF-S Nikkor Zoom

    Purchased this in early 2011 when I first into DSLR photography. Has served me well but is largely unused two years down the road. Original lens hood cracked when it was dropped (the hood, not the lens) just weeks after I bought it. I repaired it but also purchased a new one, which I never...

    Losing format on edit

    It seems that when I go back into a post to edit it (using Firefox 17 & 18, and Google Chrome) I will lose paragraph formatting. For example, what used to be this... This is sentence one, paragraph one. And this is sentence two. So let's start a new paragraph, shall we?! Will become...

    WiFi SD Cards - What do you know?

    While roaming around and shooting in FL last week, while I was firing away with my camera my wife was often next to me trying to grab stuff with her Android phone and getting frustrated. It was then that I finally realized that I might have a use for a Wifi card, if only to fire off jpgs to my...
