Not for nothing, but the D500 and 500mm f5.6 PF is a pretty fine combination as well. And I don't have to join Crossfit in order to lug it around for a day. :)

About 80% of what I shoot is birds with the D500. I find that 4000 is about the limit where an all dark background can become a little too noisy to deal with. That said, I've grown accustomed to using the brush tool in Camera Raw to apply both noise reduction and a lowering of Texture to the...

Had I known about it ahead of time I would have at least purchased the step down ($25 from B&H), plus I originally thought it was Sunday and I was away. Got lucky. @nickt yeah that's my usual experience. There were strong clouds and branches across the sun in the first couple (nowhere else to...

When astronomical or atmospheric events occur around here it's a better than even money bet that my corner of NJ will be clouded over. Somehow yesterday it was not, so I found myself climbing down and back up the flight of steps from my home office to the front yard every 10 minutes. These old...

Hmmm, for me the photo in the above post isn't displaying inline. Is that true for the rest of you? I'll try again. Here's another from yesterday, "Contentious Waxwings".

Will do some more shooting and "testing" today, but I figured I'd share this one. It's from the row of trees at the intersection of our and our neighbor's properties. These berries are about 60 feet out and another 30-40 feet up. With the 500mm I managed to salvage a 2000px crop on the long side...

Hey all. I'm getting an error in Lightroom saying that I cannot move some images to the Trash (on a Mac). The images in question were all "locked" on my D500 after shooting (press the key button during review), something I almost never do but I was doing a lot of large burst shooting at a...

I shoot a whole lot of wildlife, and then there's an utter hodge-podge in my portfolio. At this point my "business" is a hobby and my website gallery is set up to allow folks to look through everything and choose photos they'd like prints of. The plan is to focus it more, which may mean putting...

I've been using Lightroom since early 2013. I am a little OCD in my organizing so I don't have a single Lightroom catalog with everything, I have yearly catalogs to organize my shoots by year (though I am currently rethinking this), and separate catalogs for the Infrared and Drone work I do. In...

@hark Nothing to add that hasn't been said already. If you're applying edits in Lightroom and then exporting from Lightroom then the edits applied to the Raw file should be applied in the export. I see nothing in the export presets that would allow you to ignore them. As has been mentioned, I...

My D7000 was my first Nikon purchased in early 2011. In 2014 or so I had it converted to an IR camera since I had upgraded to other bodies. The on/off switch has always been tight, but after not shooting with it for about 2 years when I picked it up yesterday the switch was impossibly tight. By...

I just saw this article linked on the Nikon Rumors FB page... https://photorumors.com/2019/05/13/adobe-sent-emails-to-customers-warning-them-about-potential-legal-actions-for-using-older-versions-of-creative-cloud-apps/ I have no idea how valid the rumor is, but I do know that I have at least...

??? Are you talking about an articulating back screen?

I'm participating in a musical event on Sunday that I want to record. I'll be using my D610 with the newer generation EN-EL15 batteries, one in the camera and one in the grip. The camera will be on a tripod with a remote that will allow me to stop and restart recording so I don't run into the...

Nikon Customer Service Story (Updated) NOTE: I've left the original post as is and added an update that changes everything as a separate post down the thread. I'd share this here for anyone wondering about Nikon Customer Service. A good friend of mine just moved from the Northeast to Florida...

Eagle looking at me sideways... ;) Nice shot.

I've stopped using shutter count websites and just check the number in Photoshop. Just choose File Info from the File menu and go to the Raw Data section... Reminds me, I've been meaning to send mine in.

I was wondering how many people here enter the odd photography contest, particularly if you otherwise market your photography for licensing, purchase, etc.? The reason I ask is that I have recently gotten into drone photography and am studying for me FAA credentials, and after posting some work...

If you're like I was 4 months ago then when you reformat your memory card to clean it up you go into the menus and scroll around to Format Memory Card and have at it, and more times than not you're not in the right menu bank. No, it's not a lot of trouble, but in case you didn't know there's a...

Taking a long weekend with the Mrs and decided to just bring the D500 to remind me that it's a great camera - period - not just a great sports and wildlife camera.
