After many years of wanting to create a calendar solely of architecture, I will be donating my time and images to create a calendar of local historical buildings. Their organization will be the ones selling the calendars to fund their non-profit dedicated to preserving the village's history. And...

This guy was a little further in the distance - and that's where the sharpness seems to take a hit. The uncropped original was a little soft though. However, this is cropped about 50% from the original and the highest amount of shake reduction I've ever used was applied (somewhere around 81 is...

First I performed a new AF fine tune with the 300mm f/4 PF coupled with the 1.7x refurbished TC. Came up with a value of +4 vs the previous value of +7. Armed with that, I went in search of some subjects. Here is one - although this duck was very close, and close subjects haven't been an issue...

Here are a couple more from today. This first one is partially user error. No cropping was done so I filled the frame. In hindsight, being that close, I should have upped my shutter speed to freeze the action a little better. I'm pretty sure I was using Dynamic 153 so had to rely on the D500 to...

I had a chance to test out this lens a little more today - coupled with the 1.7x TC. I followed some advice by @BackdoorArts on when to switch between Single Point and Dynamic 153. There are still some slightly soft images so I will continue to put this lens through its paces. But overall some...

I've been testing this lens since getting it back from Nikon. When photographing a robin in the distance (with only the 300mm lens attached), every image was out of focus - possibly because of lack of contrast. All those images appeared to back focus. With the 1.4x TC, still not great results...

Next Wednesday, March 24th from 7-8:30pm Eastern Daylight Savings Time, Allen's Camera is sponsoring a free Nikon Backyard Birds Webinar. From their Facebook page: From a small pond in Stony Brook Long Island to his own backyard, Michael Corrado has found his peace, tranquility and passion...

How are you accessing the forum when you upload your photos - are you using a browser or a phone? The EXIF is still being retained in your images so it seems as though it might have more to do with the upload process.

What size are your using when you upload your images, Peter? I downloaded your image. The EXIF is definitely there. Try to aim for 1024 pixels on the long or tall side before you upload to Nikonites and see if that helps. If Nikonites is resizing your images to make them fit, perhaps that might...

Echoing what Fred mentioned about a current AF zoom, have you considered the zoom lens made by Tokina? It's the Tokina 11-16mm f/2.8. They came out with a new version of the lens in case you decide to go with a preowned copy. Our former moderator, Don Kuykendall who has since passed, raved about...

I don't know anything about videos, but the speed of the drone is incredible. Not sure how they accomplished its speed though - it isn't like they just speeded up the video.

I haven't seen nearly as much wildlife this winter as I have during the past couple of winters. Fortunately today I saw this Red-Tailed Hawk. Both images are cropped quite a bit since this is the longest reach I've got right now.

I'm wondering how it ended. Did they both leave each other alone @wev ?

Walt, I went from the D7100 to the D7200 then to the D500. Both the D7200 and D500 have better sensors than the D7100, but the D500's sensor is even better than the D7200. The configuration of the top panel is different than what you have on the D7100 though. It lacks the mode dial for A, S, M...

Thank you, Jake. Here is an unedited jpeg (only lens profile, straighten, default sharpening & noise reduction in Camera RAW). Even though I overexposed by +0.3 stop, this image is still underexposed. So are you saying everything above and below the horizon line is haze? And what I'm seeing...

I know that option is there, but it just makes the photo look hazy rather than like fog. I didn't add any dehaze to mine - the fog in the background was present. It's just that all my legit fog photos look hazy. There has got to be something that can make fog look more wispy (if that's the term...

"Bokeh" - a creamy or blurred background You don't need any type of special lens to create bokeh (an out of focus background). You have a few options to accomplish this. Macro lens - taken with a 105mm, f/10, 1/1000", ISO 800 No macro lens? No problem Just get close to your subject with...
