And these are from a Vietnam Veterans event going on through tomorrow. They planted thousands of small flags as a tribute to those who have died serving our country (not just from the Vietnam War). The flag below is hung under a pavilion. There are several of these silhouettes on display...

Cross-posted from my thread on the Nikon 300mm lens. These were all taken with a Nikon 300mm f/4 AF-S lens coupled with a Nikon 1.4 TC. Am looking forward to more outings with this lens/TC combo! The female mallard duck was raised by someone locally--the duck now resides in a local park. She...

This was taken on a different outing. This is the ramp near the boat dock area of Core Creek Park. Was still trying to find suitable subjects for the fisheye lens.

Must have missed posting a few May photos. Tried out my fisheye lens--this is going to take some getting used to. I need to learn more about the types of subjects that will work best with it. The Delaware River Bridge that connects the New Jersey and Pennsylvania Turnpikes developed a...

For a while I hadn't used my D610 much as the D750 is my main camera. When I go to change the Camera Profile info, I get all these v2 options which don't show up when I edit images taken with my D750 and D7100. Just curious if other people get this. Or possibly it is a computer glitch. There...

Today I picked up my 2 sets of PocketWizard triggers. Each set has 2 triggers, an ACO, and the one set has a mini transmitter. Plus each set has its own padded case. While there, I also bought a Think Tank holster to hold the 300mm f/4 AF-S that I purchased this week along with a BlacRapid strap...

Earlier this week I stopped by Allen's Camera to AB a 300mm f/4 AF (screwdrive) lens against a 300mm f/4 AF-S lens. Initially I purchased the screwdrive but decided I really wanted the faster AF capability of the AF-S lens. They have 2 copies of the screwdrive model although one of them had a...

Years ago I had an arm injury that resulted in surgery but also left me with chronic tendonitis (in both arms from the other arm having to work harder). Usually I would go with a VR lens because I have more difficulty getting sharp images without VR, but the price of a used copy of the newest...

Recently Glenn @gqtuazon said he wanted to sell his Nikon 300mm f/4 AF-S lens. I was interested until I found out the rear end of the lens lacks any type of glass element. The aperture blades are further inside the lens but nothing protects them from dust. This is the way Nikon designed it. So I...

How times flies! Apparently I haven't posted in my own thread in over 2 months. :shame: I've been working on a new wall calendar for my church like I made last year so most of my photos are from there. It was nice to take a break and go elsewhere today. So today I decided to give Auto-ISO a...

Thanks, Don. I will definitely give Auto-ISO a try. When I'm in Aperture Priority, that's when I get the ERR with the very first shot. When I'm in Manual Mode, it hasn't happened. Auto-ISO sounds like changes could be made a little faster since I'd still be able to use the +/- button (which I...

After watching a Scott Kelby video where he showed some impressive results with a 50" Westcott Softbox, I looked up its price. $169. Gulp. :cower: So after checking prices for other comparable size softboxes, I found this 47" Godox on Amazon. Godox has received some very positive reviews here of...

For some reason I've been looking at SLR's...specifically the more mechanical ones as I have an N90s and an N70. There is an FM locally that is in decent cosmetic shape, and the shutter and seals look good. For $50 more, there is an F3 (not the HP) that cosmetically has seen quite a bit of use...

I am still experiencing the shutter error, but it's happening a little differently now. Initially as I started to press the shutter button, I could see the shutter speed jump up to 1/4000" while flashing (meaning the shutter speed is too high). If I stopped and didn't actuate the shutter, the...

Only want to identify this duck--neither photo is good. In the first photo, I literally didn't have anywhere to move to get a better vantage point. In the second photo, it is a heavily cropped iPhone photo. The duck has a green head but a black body with white markings. At this park, I have...

After 18 months of waiting, a pre-owned Nikon 16mm fisheye showed up at a camera store. :cool: One thing I will need to remember is to NOT click on the lens profile in Camera RAW. When I did that, it straightened out the lines. I'm gonna have lots of fun with this! ;) This store employee said...

Curious to hear what others use to help secure their lightstands. Preferably not a DIY as I'd rather get something that is already made. ;)

Aside from a 126 camera when I was a kid and a 110 pocket camera when I was in high school, my first real camera was a Minolta XG-M 35mm film camera. It only had 2 modes: aperture priority and manual modes. The pocket-sized owner's manual was maybe 30 pages in length but effectively taught the...

I'm interested in trying out HSS but need triggers that will allow it. I contacted Vello asking if they have any, and they sent me these links. https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1035988-REG/vello_vcttl_n_captain_ttl_trigger_set.html...

I've wanted to get a second light stand--my first was the Manfrotto 1005BAC (9' tall and is heavier). I just couldn't decide whether I wanted another one just like it or the Manfrotto 1004BAC which is lighter but taller at 12'. So I finally opted to go with the latter figuring I can add a...
