I never thought I would ask this, but well here goes. I have read about dust on the sensor and seen videos (you-tube). After submitting the photo for the weekly challenge, I think I am seeing the results of dust that I had missed before. Is what I am seeing probably dust on the sensor of my...

I noticed a recall on the Nikon site when I was looking for other information. Just passing it along as I don't have the battery. Ha http://www.nikonusa.com/en/Service-And-Support/Service-Advisories/h0ndzaip/EN-EL15-Rechargeable-Li-ion-Battery-Pack-Recall.html Here is an excerpt: Nikon Inc...

Ok, last night using NX-D as I have been doing for as long as I have been processing RAW files, I processed a photo and converted it to .jpg. Then I opened it in GIMP as I usually do for additional touch-ups and flares. BUT.......... the image was not the full image that I had processed. It...

This is more of an opinion question than anything else, I guess. When looking for the best portrayal of speed in a photo which of the two following methods gives the best illusion? 1. I know that panning with the moving object (car, bike, etc) and done correctly the background is blurred...

OK, this came up in an Off Topic thread I started. In the ISO menu setting where you select ISO Auto On or Off, there is a minimum shutter speed setting also. If it is set to 1/500s for example, should the shutter speed ever drop below that setting in any modes other than Manual or of course...

Today was a day that almost makes me think that photography is not for me. I shot about 40 shots and was so disappointed after downloading them on the computer, they all got trash canned. It just wasn't my day, well actually it wasn't my subject either. There are two things/subjects that just...

I know, this is a wide open question, but I am going to ask anyway. Ha! In another thread on diffraction, etc I watched the video and then ventured off into the CP-L video by the same guy and I began to wonder about the 70-300mm VRII 4.5-5.6. Of those of you who own or have used the lens...

There are some places, ie certain tourist attractions (movie sets) that have posted signs that photos taken there cannot be sold or posted online without getting a permit. $ for an hour or something similar. I can understand that, but what about private houses or particulars of the house...

The annual Fiesta De Los Vaqueros rodeo is going on in Tucson AZ this past weekend and through to next weekend. A photography class was offered to teach how to take photos of rodeo events. As I understand it the cost was $85, but camera equipment was furnished or available to try out. All of...

This morning I was out with the dog and the camera. I started to set the CPL for the direction that I would most likely be shooting and noticed some black specks in the view finder. After getting back to the house, I did a little detective work and tried to clean. Lens looked ok, removed it...

Ok, I have been playing around. Here is one photo with four different crops. All the same 3-2 ratio, just in different positions. Opinions on which one is preferred and why, or any other crop options you think would work better. Thanks Original Crop 1 Crop 2 Crop 3 Crop 4 Thanks!

Has anyone ever photographed elk like this guy? Wapiti vs Photographe

I have seen Rocket Blowers recommended here in various threads. Those of you who own or have used the Rocket Blower for dust removal for lenses, what is their advantage over other bulb type blowers? Is it just the legs that you can stand it up on? The reason I ask is that I own a bulb blower...

I received a Private message after seeing the notification. I replied to the message. Then I received an email saying that I had a new PM. I read it on the email, original, reply, and answer to the reply. Now the problem. I still have the Notification flag for a private message, however...

I have a feeling I already know the answer to this question, but is there an easy/quick & dirty way to add images that I have posted in threads to my gallery? Something like a click on the image in the thread and then add it to my gallery. I know I can save a link, and then upload... or...

Ok, I do not have a city close by to shoot the weekly challenge this week. I thought I could try a little substitution, but it hasn't worked out. I have a power generating plant about 7 miles away (as the crow flies, but over 20 miles by road. It is lit up and stands out well on most nights...

I am going to try this. I am just learning so all comments and constructive criticism will be appreciated on any photos. 1. I will try to do a photo a week, but may need to fudge on this. 2. List will be completed in ANY order 3, I will take at least 80% of the photos within 100 miles of my...

Probably none of you have the same problem as I have recently discovered that I have. With Scott, STM, being in AZ and seeing his photos, I have realized that familiarity can become a negative factor for the creativity of photographers. I have lived in the same area for the majority of my life...

I had the same problem as others with the greying out when trying to upload a picture to a thread today, but that is not my question. My question is why did I get both an image and a thumbnail posted in the same posting? Here is the example. I don't remember having this happen before...

I have seen some posts that say "Sent from Tapatalk" or something like that. Questions: Those who are using it for following forums, are you using it on your iPhone or iPad? Have you loaded the latest version? If so, do you like the new version ie layout, etc.? Are you having any problems...
