On another forum, a picture was posted of a bull snake with what appears to be lightning bolts coming from his tongue. I suggested that it was from the lighting and shutter speed, but the author of the photo says because he used a "speedlight" that it can't be. What do you think? Capture My...

We have the capability to set the EV plus or minus X amount. I have seen some Exif info where some have set the EV to say -1 ro +1, etc. When and why do you choose to set your EV to a plus or minus setting? Is it used to be able to use an aperture settings ie 2.8 to shorten the DOF which...

OK, I have been following the "Print Size" thread and then started playing around to see what cropping would do for sizes for printing and display. In Capture NX-D, cropping has a few options of size ratios ie 16:9, 4:3, 6:6 etc. and free cropping. Now for the question. Some of my pictures...

Any feedback on this will be appreciated. Good or bad...All is OK. Hoping to improve over time with your help. Thanks.

Living in an area where it is usually "Dry Heat", most times we don't have much problem with mosquitoes. This year it is different. We have had lots of rain and now mosquito swarms like never before (Well Korea did have more and bigger when I was there). Trying to take pictures during the...

Not sure if it is OK and if this is the place to post this, but I saw this today. New US Forest Service Fee to take pictures in Wilderness areas. Article is located here Say What? U.S. Government Wants to Charge You $1,500 for Photographing in Wilderness Areas | Shutterbug If this is not...

Last night I was checking out some shots I had taken earlier and seeing which ones I wanted to PP. They were shots using the 70-300mm lense and I had a few of weeds with water droplets shining in the sun. I couldn't seem to figure where I wanted to crop them for the best focus on the drops. I...

In the Learning Photography section each subsection ie "Wildlife", Portraits... have a clickable item "Post Photos Here" or something to that effect. Clicking on it goes to the Blogs. Was that what the original idea was or what. Most of the subsections have the photos posted directly in the...

Three pictures, hand held bracketed. I only used two of the three, the plus & minus exposure. The post processing was done with Gimp. Below you will see the three - 0 + that I started with. All constructive comments will be appreciated. Thanks.

Today I played around with my 70-300mm lens. These two pictures were probably the best of the bunch. Too bad I didn't get them for the "Birds, Birds, Birds" challenge. Ha! All comments and constructive criticisms are welcome. As the thread title says, "Trying to learn." The first is a...

First question: How do you retain or what do you do with your lens caps when they are not on the lens? Such as walking around and taking a picture. Second: This may not be a normal scenario for most of you, but.......... in my location it can get hot, especially inside a vehicle. Vehicle...

Thanks for providing this site. It has already answered a few of my questions. I am new to Nikon, but have been a snapshot junky for years. Ha! After looking at many of the photos posted here, I am very much a beginner. How you guys can see what you do in objects, etc and capture them in...

In a few places, I have read to prevent camera movement for long shutter speeds ie for smoothing out water to lock the mirror up. This is to avoid any movement of the camera by the mirror moving. Is this process the same mirror lock function as is used for cleaning in the menu? Or is there...

New to the D5300 (Nikon also). In the viewfinder display in the position which displays the number of exposures remaining, when I push the shutter release 1/2 way the display changes to r09 from the 1.0k. I have looked through the manual (printed and CD version) and can't seem to find what the...
