When I saw the specs of the D7200 I was hoping that it would finally be the wildlife camera I wanted both the D7000 and D7100 to be. Alas, I'll continue limping along with the D7100 for a couple years...

Here's what Mike is asking. Current Nikons are said to be able to center focus at f8. I interpret that to mean that when using the center point of your 51 pt focus system you should be able to focus with a 300mm f4 and a 2X converter, which is effectively f8 at minimum aperture. If, however...

If the implications of this story are true it's both heinous and ridiculous. https://fstoppers.com/news/arkansas-senate-passes-bill-make-street-photography-illegal-state-65704 Imagine the implications not just for street photographers, but for everyone with a Facebook, Instagram or Flickr...

I've been scarce for some time here, but I needed to drop in if only to post this incredibly disturbing story. Controversy over out of state photographers in McDowell Co. - WVVA TV Bluefield Beckley WV News, Weather and Sports It angers me more than normal for very personal reasons. You see...

Making your way in the world today Takes everything you got Taking a break from all your worries It sure would help a lot Wouldn't you like to get away Sometimes you want to go Where everybody knows your name And they're always glad you came You want to be where you can see The...

J-see does that to people. ;) It's a function of having to be right even when what you're saying is technically incorrect. Because we've gone over this ad nauseum in post after post about crop factors, and have documented until the cows come home that there is no "magnification" of images by a...

I just created a 16-bit TIF from D7100 NEF file using ACR and then successfully opened it using PSE 11. If version 11 can handle it then I would assume the latest version should. My understanding is the PSE has allowed you to open 16-bit tiffs for a while now. Some of the Filter effects will...

I was going to say Michael's as well. They have basic 16x20 black wooden frames with a pre-cut mat for an 11x14 photo at around $40 each, and they're almost always on sale at either at 40% off or BOGO. Then, you hit their website and look for a 15-25% off your entire order sale items included...

The good news is that with most of these the spot requiring correction is indistinct enough that you should be able to fix it rather easily. If you have access to Photoshop, Smart Fill gets it done in a jiffy. Pass 1 - select the entire area and fill: Pass 2 - Select the area cloned...

Re: Is crappy my photo ? :( :) Crap? No. Good? No. It's a nice scene and there is lots to shoot here, but the composition here leaves me asking, "What is it you're trying to show me?" I love the deep color of the water and the waterfall, but I have to climb over all that foreground stuff...

I took the day off yesterday, spending it rearranging the office (and the gear in it) rather than shooting. This immediately relieved me of having a 365-challenge sword hanging over my head this year. :sorrow: So, this will be where I share my random shots from this year whenever I feel...

OK, I'm in. I'll do the Nikonite list in reverse alphabetical order of the 3rd letter in the category posting on a day of the week with a prime number date. Or I'll just do it one week at a time, shooting that week for that week, and will try and post the theme I'm shooting for (which does...

(My apologies to Pretzel because I posted the "no comment" thing as an edit and he likely didn't see it - my bad). OK, I'll start... I started 2014 with one goal - Slow down, "see" instead of just "look", be ready to take a photo at any time, and when you see a shot take the shot, even if it...

As I was looking over my Flickr stuff with my sister in-law over the holidays I started thinking about all the shots I've taken this year, and the many ways in which I have grown as a photographer. I started to wonder about the various shots I took and posted this year (and there were a lot of...

The Washington Post website colors your news. No, seriously, it does, and not in the way those of you with certain political leanings might think. I have my monitor calibrated on all my computers so what I see on one is what I see on another. When I go to the Washington Post site all that...

(Just a heads up, this is a lot about me just bitching, so if you don't care to read it feel free to move on) On occasion I get PM's asking my opinion about this and that, or more detailed questions about something I've posted elsewhere. I don't mind answering, though I think that this kind of...

FYI, I've only broken out the Nikon once over the holiday to do a family portrait. All my 50mm stuff has been with the Sony a6000, if only because of the size, weight, convenience, and the fact that I'm not losing all that much in terms of IQ. It's at least as good as my D7100. Here's one at...
