    Question about Resolution..........

    When you re-size or crop a photo, how do you decide what resolution to use? I understand that most printers are only good for 300 dpi, but why would I ever want to size a photo to 72 pixels per inch? Wouldn't it be best to save the photos at the highest possible density? Thanks. At 300...

    Refurbished D5100 Body Report....

    Well, if there was something "refurbished" on my new refurbished D5100, it must have been internal. The exterior of the camera is pristine and shows no signs of use. If you are thinking about saving some money by buying a refurbished Nikon product, I'd recommend you do it. So far, everything...

    Here we go again……

    I used my D40X for 3-4 years. It was a fine camera and it never faltered. About a month ago, I got the bug for a new upgraded camera. I was really interested in the Canon T3i. After I did my fair share of research, I found that the Nikon D5100 was a better choice. I started looking for a good...

    I'm hooked!

    If it wasn't for Nikonites, I may have never found this new toy! This is really fun.

    Non-Auto Bracketing.... the old fashioned way. Not so good.

    Having been recently introduced to HDR through this forum, I decided to give it a try. Using a D3100 meant I had to use a tripod and shoot a photo, change the exposure compensation, shoot a photo, change the exposure compensation and take the third photo. I understand the process of pluses...

    Finding this Forum has really made a difference. Thanks!

    I have learned more tips in the few weeks I've been on this forum than I had for the years I've been an "enthusiast". I really appreciate reading the various techniques and ideas that you have all posted. These are today's effort. Not prize-winners, but they were most enjoyable in processing...

    Exposure Compenation

    Is there any way that the D3100 will record 3 exposures (-1, 0, +1) with one click? If I want to take 3 different compensated exposures, will I have to use a fixed tripod and take 3 separate frames to use in HDR? Thanks.

    I am REALY looking for advice and tips.

    I am REALLY looking for advice and tips. This example is straight out of the camera, with the exception of being re-sized to fit in the post. My camera is a D3100 and the lens is a 35mm 1:18G Nikon. The area I was in is very shaded and I figured the 35 would be good for the lower light...

    I hiked today. D3100 35mm 1:1.8G

    I just got this lens. I'm getting used to what I can do with it. So, far the D3100/35mm appears to be a good combination.

    Weekly Challenge May 27-June 3: Conceptual Photography

    I'm new and my stuff is different, and I don't know any better. This parking lot used to be packed fence to fence, 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. Now, it's a Ford Plant without cars.

    My D3100 and how I ended up with it.

    I had been using a D40X for a few years and it served me well. I decided that I wanted a video option and image improvement would be a nice bonus. I researched for a while and it came down to three choices: D3100; D5100; or the new D3200. I'm an amateur and I take pictures for fun, so my...
