This was taken a couple of days ago. I posted it in a local group where one guy said I shouldn't take photos of people I don't know and post them online. Well...it was in a public park. Turns out the guy is the president of one of the kids' ball leagues and was getting the field ready for an...

Sometimes trying to come up with a decision can be very difficult. There are so many options for you, Walt, that I'm glad you were able to hone on what to get. I've thought about replacing my 70mm-300mm with Nikon's 70-200mm f/4 VR, but after getting the D7200, I have been enjoying the extended...

I just received an email that an updated Nik Collection by DXO is available for an introductory price of $49.99. https://shop.dxo.com/us/photo-software/dxo-nikcollection?utm_source=dxo&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=nik-collection-2018-1&utm_content=customers

Last week I received a couple of steroid injections into my hand. This afternoon I went out with my D7200 in hopes of seeing how my hand would hold up. I spotted this guy and thought it would be a good chance to try AF-C without the camera being in BBF. I quickly dialed in the settings and took...

Is this the same Tamron lens causing problems for some members? @wev is this the lens where you've had more than one mechanical issue and have had to send it back? Although people say Tamron has great customer service, the multiple Tamron problems that have been mentioned here would make me lean...

Haven't we all seen something that makes us do a double-take? :shame: Especially the ones where something really shouldn't be there? Here is mine. What I CAN say is it wasn't there 90 minutes earlier (and yes, the toilet was cleaned within this past week)! Anyway it was dangling above the water...

The mouse arrived today, and it's ENORMOUS! Fortunately it is as big as I hoped. The pics don't do it justice. The mouse is slightly larger than my hand (see bottom photo). I should have lowered my hand slightly as the perspective is off a little. I do have very large hands so this allows me to...

A while back I asked some questions about tripod plates and was always under the impression there were only 2 styles. Many companies make Arca Swiss compatible plates, but what I didn't know is there are companies that make quick release plates (and heads) that look exactly like the Manfrotto...

There is a new fishing pier at a Community Park Lake which makes it nice to go out over the water. This guy was paddling his kayak. Initially I posted this first image in a local Facebook group where he was tagged by his friend. So I got into a conversation with him and posted this second...

Due to chronic tendonitis in my right hand, I am having immense difficulty using my current mouse. It's smaller than normal which of course doesn't help. I'm looking for one that is as wide as possible but don't need any bells and whistles. All I use are the center scroll wheel and the...

Fstoppers partnered up with B&H to offer an engagement ring photo contest for a chance to win either a $1200 or a $300 B&H gift card. The contest ends May 31st at 11:45pm EST. @kevy73 you must have something you could submit. https://fstoppers.com/contest/engagement-ring-photo-win-1200

I went back through the folder of images taken yesterday and edited this one. It is quite a heavy crop from the original image. There is something about the difference in this sensor vs. the sensor of the D7100 that makes me prefer this one. In a couple of reviews, people said the noise from the...

Here's one more of kayakers on the same lake today. By the way, I mentioned seeing a hair or something when looking through the viewfinder of my new D7200. I used a rocketblower on the mirror (without raising it), and whatever it was is gone. Even though I sure tried to be careful mounting a...

I haven't been out shooting for my own pleasure much. My pastor is retiring and am working on putting a book together covering the history of her time there. BUT I did have a chance to get out this afternoon to try out a new D7200. There is a hair or something visible in the viewfinder that...

@Woodyg3 do you own the Tamron 100-400mm?

Is there any type of alternative to BBF that will allow both the tracking option and shutter actuation when only using the shutter button--and not using the button on the back? I am having a terrible time with trigger finger and trigger thumb in my right hand. Having to keep my thumb on the...

Like Marcel said, when focusing with macro work, just moving slightly in and out makes a big difference with focus. The smallest movements can mean a huge difference whether or not something is in focus. Since we all enjoy spending someone else's money, here's a suggestion for down the road...

Walt, I have the Nikon 105mm f/2.8 VR. It's a great lens, and yes it's expensive. The longer the focal length of the lens, the further away you can be from your subject when shooting macro. Typically portrait lenses tend to be in the 85mm to 135mm range although many people use longer focal...

The first thing that came to mind is Michael Jackson during Thriller. :beguiled: Seriously though, great photo, Woody!

I loved the results from this lens but found it too heavy since I'm dealing with trigger finger and trigger thumb. Here are a few photos taken last summer with it. These were from one of the first outings I had with this lens. When the lens is coupled with a Nikon 1.4 teleconverter, the results...
