    Largely undecided about the D7K...still..

    I've been on the fence about this camera for a long time now. Owning a D7000 already, I've been put off by the seemingly small viewfinder AF points, the max shutter speed, the max flash speed and some other niggly things. On the plus side, it would get me at the FX level, something I've been...

    Should I?

    So I've had my Sigma 50mm 1.4 for awhile now and like it well enough. It still has AF issues however.. Problem is, it weighs about 1.1lbs and that's simply getting pretty weighty.. So I was thinking about getting a 50mm 1.8g for general walkaround purposes. I do feel like I'd be double-dipping...

    Best micro four thirds cameras out there?

    I am not sure if discussing non-nikon cameras are an acceptable point of talking on the site.. But I'm interested very much in the micro four thirds format for taking with me on backpacking expeditions and around town when I don't feel like hauling a freakin' d600 around with me and some huge...

    Having trouble with flash sync above 320..

    So I'm trying to unlock the secret to syncing my SB6oo at over 320 on my D7k. I can't seem to make it go over 320. I'm pretty sure I'm not seeing something as it should obviously be working.. I have my e1 Flash Sync Speed set to 1/320* (Auto FP) and my e2 Flash Shutter Speed set to 1/60th. e3...

    LR4 creating folders with copies of pictures on desktop?

    I never had this issue before, but all of a sudden LR decided that it would be fun to mess with me and start creating folders with dates of import with all the photos in them right on my desktop. Where is the option to turn this off in the program, and how did it even get activated??

    Post your 1.8 shots!

    Thought I'd make a thread about the beauty of 1.4. Post your shots @ 1.4 for all to see if you have them!

    ND filters. A little confused regarding what I need..

    I've been wanting to grab an ND filter but I don't know which darkness to get. They come with numbers like .06 or .09. I just want one that I can use for general stuff like waterfalls in daylight and daylight portraits at fast apertures, not interested in stacking in the slightest. Don't know...

    Pricing a wedding shoot. Questions galore!

    I'm prepping for a wedding shoot in a few months time and the bride is hell bent on hiring me. She likes my style a whole lot. The wedding is quite unconventional, with everything made by the groom and bride as far as decorations, food etc. They're trying to save money, but spending where it...

    $275 for a D200? Good deal?

    I have an opportunity to grab a D200 for $275 or $250. Shutter count yet unknown.. I already have a D7000, but am looking for a decent backup. I have some pro glass to throw on it but I'm wondering if in today's market I should just invest in a more modern camera. Help appreciated :)

    Automotive photography is boring me

    Lately, I've been seeing lots of pictures from people that have cameras that think they're photographers. Mostly at car meets and such. I look at their pics and it's just all the same angles and all the same lines and it all bores me to death. I want to get inspired again! What are some of the...

    To sell the 16-85 or not...?

    That is the question.. Basically, I can't get over the constant slow aperture of the glass. I love the lens, dont get me wrong, but find myself limited when I want to blow out the background in a bad way. I think I'll really miss the 16-24mm range and at the moment, only have money to plunk...

    Sigma customer support

    After spending some time with my lens (50mm 1.4) I came to the conclusion that it has some of the fabled focus issues. I called Sigma asking them how to send the lens in for calibration and the initial lady that answered the phone was either out to lunch mentally, or distracted by her cellular...

    What exactly happens when raw files overflow on SD card...

    The question is a bit more convoluted than you think.. Let's give an example to make it easier to understand. Let's say you're shooting a surfer in Hawaii and you're shooting RAW on your first memory card and jpg fine on your second. Both cards are 8GB and you shoot continuous bursts for like...

    Hm. Seems like my 50mm 1.4 is a weird one..

    So my Sigma 40mm 1.4 is lovely. I really do love it. It's awesome in the daylight, even at 1.4 all the way up to wherever I wish to use it.. But it seems that at night, it doesn't like focusing on what I want it to. It'll wander around, grabbing what seems to be random things and choosing to...

    Merry christmas! Free battery grip!

    Astrophotography questions

    So as many of you may know by some of my pictures, I'm an avid backpacker. I hate bringing my gear with me on account of the extreme added weight, but when you can't shoot these things living near D.C, when you get the opportunity you take it:) On Friday morning, I'm leaving for a 4 day in the...

    Viewing lots and lots of raw files..

    I use LR4 and I now need a program that will allow viewing of all the files on my card. The problem with importing into LR is that the pictures preview gets grainy when enlarged. I just want to be able to decipher which pictures are the best/in focus/sharpest so that I can then import them into...

    Stroboscopic mode

    I've searched around on our friend the Google and can't seem to find any real information or tutorial on using the stroboscopic mode on the D7000. Does anyone have experience with this? Ideally, would like to walk towards the camera and have "ghost" images show up, with the last one being crisp...
