The stuff of nightmares: I'm sure glad these things aren't the size of a pony.

MPB has the 28-105 for $129 in excellent condition. MPB 28-105 Nikkor They also have he 28-85 for the same prince in good condition. MPB 24-85 Nikkor One nice thing about MPB is that the pictures they have are the pictures of the actual item, not a stock image. That gives you a better idea...

That's the way I read it before updating, but I wanted to make sure that Nikon didn't pull an Apple trick and try and brick things when it detects a non OEM component attached.

Another bugs eating bugs image. I found these bees settling down on some thistles for the night.

It depends on the camera. Most, if not all, Nikon Z cameras support charging through USB connection, as do some DSLRs. You should be able to use a standard cell phone backup battery and the appropriate connector cable. Check your model's manual to see if you can charge via USB connection.

The starburst through the window really makes this image. Nice job.

I updated with a Nikon Z lens attached. I then tried using some non Nikon extension tubes. I now have a large crater in my back yard. OK, just kidding, it worked fine. Of course, I'm pretty sure the extension tubes don't have any electronics in them. They do have connections between the lens...

Here is an example: This image was shot in early morning. The light was fairly even, as opposed to harsh daylight. The tree behind the birds is in shadow, this would make the meter try to even things out and expose just a little under for the shadows, and a good bit overexposed on the bright...

Just because the meter says it's the correct exposure, doesn't make right. When you have a scene that has a large difference between the lightest parts of the scene, and the darkest, there will be portions that are either under or overexposed. In this case you have a lot of the scene that is in...

Here's another that I played around with the settings to get what I wanted. It was late afternoon, and the available light was fading. I was checking on the flowers and noticed a dragonfly hanging out on one of the flowers, so I ran grabbed my camera. The first shots had a very dark background...

I've been meaning to try this out of curiosity for a while. I finally decided to go out back and see how well it might work. With my Z5 and Z7ii, AF was a real no go for macro work IME. I was hoping that perhaps the improved AF might actually allow me to use AF. I can manage with MF, but get a...

Snapbridge is widely viewed as a troublesome app. I've gotten it to work on a couple Nikons, but I find that it's usefulness to me is very limited, and not worth the hassles.

30 lashes with a wet cable release.

Are you using Snapbridge? The P1100 is compatible with it.

OK Clovishound Youtube channel

I'll not hold my breath. Slideshows are not exactly a popular type of video. Add to that I won't even begin to comment on whether my images are good enough to attract a lot of interest. I could probably greatly increase my viewership by coming up with eye-catching clickbait titles. My buddy...

I have a small Youtube channel that is basically slideshows with royalty free music using my macro and wildlife images. I started it to be able to post a slideshow here on a slideshow thread, and kept at it so that friends and family could follow my photography, and occasionally add new content...

Well, after over a week I have seen a pattern emerge. In the last 10 days I've been to the gym 7 times. I've spent about 45 minutes each visit on the treadmill, adjusting the speed and incline to the high end of my target heart rate (85% of my max heart rate). I then spend enough time on three...

It's normal to see some camera shake with long focal lengths.
