Not great photos, but I wanted to share with other wildlife enthusiasts an event that occurred yesterday. We were driving along a local road on our way to spend a gift card or two, when I looked out my side window and was astounded at what I saw in the sky. Thousands upon thousands of Snow...

As I've mentioned, my brother is a Canon shooter and 25 year pro news photographer. We celebrated Christmas together at our house yesterday, and as the kids were watching "Elf" for the umteenth time I asked him, "Wanna check out my new camera?" After asking me, "You mind if I mess with some of...

Spent a chilly night finishing our Christmas shopping in Bethlehem (PA) last night. Lovely old town that is having a bit of a renaissance in recent years. While the wife was ducking into and out of shops I was on the street with my new D600 and a tripod. Moravian Chapel Main Street at...

Went out and did some shooting on a cold, dreary day in Bethlehem, PA whilst simultaneously finishing some Christmas shopping. I've had literally no real opportunities to get out and test my new D600 since its arrival on Monday, so I grabbed this opportunity. As I started reviewing the images...

If the site of several dozen Black Vultures gathered together in a tree by the side of the road isn't ominous enough, this is what I encountered today - two days before the supposed 12-21-12 apocalypse. If the buzzards are gathering could the Mayans be right?!

It would seem that the world's largest stock photo library just opened. Instagram says it now has the right to sell your photos | Politics and Law - CNET News I am quite the fan of iPhoneography, and am greatly lamenting this move by the Facebook enterprise. I am in the process of removing...

Dear Nikon, Why did you see fit to reverse the image zoom buttons from model to model? My D90 and D7000 were absolutely consistent. But after shooting my first frame with the D600 I excitedly pressed the review button and as I went to zoom in it went in the wrong direction. At first I...

I've found I am much better at resisting temptation, and far less impulsive, later in the day than first thing in the morning. This has proven out tremendously today as I awoke to read about the price reductions on the D600 kit and D800. I've thought I would want the D800 and was going to save...

Our church platform needed rearranging for a kids' Christmas program on Friday, so when I was done I decided to take advantage of the opportunity to try some large room, natural light interiors. Each of these are 3 exposure +/-2 bracketed HDR's merged in HDR Efex Pro 2. Room was too dark to...

When Long Exposure NR is "On", according to everything I've read about the D7000, impacts all exposures of 8 seconds and longer. The process involves delaying the write to disc as NR is applied, with the process taking an equal amount of time as the original exposure. So an 8 second exposure...

I managed to go a good year before seeing some of the "oil spot" / dirty sensor issues that I've read some people complain about with the D7000, requiring something other than the bulb-blow that has worked those far. What I've noticed lately is that the rubber flap at the base of the trigger...

I shared this link in a separate thread, and as I did I thought others might benefit from bookmarking it. If you've ever tried to remember where the heck a setting is buried in the D7000's Custom Menus, this page just might come in handy.

I love taking walks in the woods early in the morning and will always have a camera with me. I used to bring a monopod as a walking stick in case I needed something to help stabilize the camera for a bird in a tree or anything else that required a long lens in low light conditions. There were...

I've noticed that all of my exif data is being tossed when I load a photo into the Gallery. Am I doing something incorrectly? There's no setting I can find in the upload screens that would allow me to choose, and the data exists in the original image on my computer? I've been to other...

I do a lot of nature photography and am slightly near-sighted with an astigmatism. I can see OK without glasses, but definitely need them to spot birds in tree limbs. My issue is that with both my D7000 and D90 the standard rubber eyecup prevents me from seeing the entire viewfinder with my...

(pulling up a stool to the counter...) Hi, everyone! My name is Jake and I'm from northwest New Jersey - the beautiful part of the state that no one ever sees from Newark airport and that most assume is some other state when they're flying over. I am a long time "picture taker" who finally...
