    Slow connection

    I haven't uploaded much so cannot comment on that, but Woody's thread had images loading slowly over the past couple of days. When looking at that thread now, it seems to be fine. I had even double-checked my download speed (which was fine). I'm not experiencing any issues now though.

    October Monthly: Darkness or A Dark Mood **Top Six**

    I spent time earlier today getting this posted only to be told by Needa and Marilynne that they couldn't see the Top Six thread. They mentioned I hid it so well, they couldn't find it. So I start to create an entirely new thread only to receive a prompt that I have a saved draft. Didn't even...

    It definitely makes it so much easier. There were times I had to back up because I was too close for the minimum focusing distance.

    Why didn't I start using this earlier?

    I use Aperture Priority for most of my photos. U2 is programmed with BBF with Continuous Focus, Manual Mode, and Auto ISO. So when I come across a moving subject, U2 switches me into BBF while Aperture Priority is used with the shutter button focusing.

    Last weekend I tried photographing a falconry session. I've done them in the past (this was my first in 11 months), but with my shoulder issue, I had to use a monopod. That worked fine for stationery images, but when the hawk was flying, it was pretty much impossible to lock focus. NOW I...

    Anyone owned both the D7200 and D7100?

    Oh ... and will add one more comment: I never tried a D8x0 series body, but I do remember hearing that a person's technique has to be really good. Any little movement when pressing the shutter actuation button will show up as a slight image softness. The larger megapixel bodies are great for...

    Anyone owned both the D7200 and D7100?

    I still have my refurbished D7100 and one of my two D7200 bodies. When I first took photos with my D7200, for me there was a noticeable improvement over the D7100. For one thing, the colors straight out of camera were different (I think one as a Toshiba sensor - can't remember what the other one...

    Not a great photo, but I took it to show just how narrow the New Hope Bridge really is (crosses the Delaware River between Pennsylvania and New Jersey). The car on the right stayed put while the opposing traffic passed by slowly. No idea why there is even a traffic light. Obviously it isn't to...

    Wedding Photography a Dying Industry?

    @Dawg Pics - I happen to like seeing *some* images taken with incredible vistas and the subject small, but if the subjects aren't clearly identified because they are too small, then no. But one or two images with a grand background as part of a wedding collection (with small enough people being...

    Primes or Zoom Lenses

    A 24-70mm f/2.8 would be more versatile and prevent having to change lenses so frequently. Just make sure to keep your lens choices to f/2.8 or larger apertures because you will need those in low light. Once the reception starts, that will be a good time to use your 35mm f/1.8. It's lighter in...

    Post your latest purchases.

    That's good to know. I have 2 Godox flashes and several of their strobes although I'm not familiar with this one.

    How do you like the 24-120, Danno? For some reason, I thought you already had a copy of this lens. :unsure:
