    Head for Monopod with a Nikon 600MM F/4

    If I were to get a monopod tilt head for something that heavy, I'd go with a Desmond DMH-2. Last fall I was searching for an Arca Swiss ball head and found stellar reviews for the Desmond Demon DB-44 ball head. It is just as rock solid as the reviews indicate. So based on its quality, that's...

    The other day I posted this image for the weekly challenge of Converging Lines. Since we are expecting more rain, I didn't think I'd have enough time to find a different subject. But this afternoon there was a short break. So I set out to find a different subject. After walking on this...

    Weekly Challenge May 11 - 17: Converging Lines

    I deleted my first submission because there was a short break in the rain and saw this as a much better opportunity.

    I decided to go back today and capture the building from its corner. 16mm really shows perspective distortion! ;) Keep in mind, the building isn't rectangular and has unusual angles for its walls.

    While out searching for a this week's challenge (converging lines), I came across this interesting building. I want to look into its history - if it even has one. These train tracks aren't part of the commuter rail lines although commuter tracks aren't too far behind the building. I'm wondering...

    Hilarious Wedding Photography Fail

    This happened in my extended regional area. A bride received her images only to find some had blinking eyes horribly Photoshopped. Supposedly those blinking eyes images were outsourced. It doesn't sound as though the photographer looked at any before sending the photos to the bride...

    D7000 f-- blinking

    It sounds like there is a communication issue between the camera and lens. As Sparky mentioned, when using a lens with an aperture ring, that ring needs to be set to the smallest aperture (usually f/22 or higher depending on the lens). You control/change the aperture only through the camera...

    I finally gave in and now have doubts about my decision...

    I have both the D750 and D500. For wildlife and when the extra reach is needed, I choose the D500 first. For everything else, I go with the D750. Both are excellent, and both have their advantages. The low light capabilities of the D750 are a little better than the D500 - but it definitely isn't...

    Yesterday I posted in a different thread showing results from my 300mm f/4 PF and Nikon 1.7x TC combo. Here are a couple more from today. When this pair works well, the results can be stellar. I believe this was a very young Robin. It didn't fly away like they normally do. But with the effective...

    Nikon NY Repair Center

    Since I didn't have time to recalibrate the Autofocus before leaving today, I simply set the Auto Fine Tune value to zero. Here is an image from today. It was overcast. At times the lens locked focus, but other times it couldn't achieve focus at all. And I switched between single point focus as...

    Nikon NY Repair Center

    I swear I have a love/hate relationship with this Nikon 300mm f/4 PF lens. Sometimes it can be stellar while many times it just hasn't worked properly. Based on images I sent to Nikon repair, they said the lens was fine. Then for some reason it would barely focus - it would start to focus then...
