    a few months back i realized that i lost the front body cap for my D750 so i ordered a replacement through Amazon (rear lens caps were included). it was delivered a couple days ago and i tried the lens cap first with no problems. then i tried the front body cap. it went on with no issues at all...

    prime or zoom?

    my Tokina 16-28 ATX Pro crapped on me and can't be repaired according to the warranty company. since they are reimbursing me i'm in the market for a new wide angle for my full frame D750. however, the only affordable wa lenses i see out there are all prime lenses. the zooms are a bit out of my...

    Topaz change their sales model??

    within the last few years, i bought 3 different plug-ins from Topaz (adjust, simplify, star effects). at that time they were all sold as separate pieces of software that you would download, install and then would be recognized by Photoshop as plug-ins. today i saw a deal on Dehaze (20% off -...

    i have been (sort of) humbled

    like 480Sparky i submitted some pics to the local fair.. the barns pic i submitted under the B&W category and it won 2nd place within that category (not a great achievement if only 2 b&w's were submitted but i really don't know how many there were). the trolley pic won first place in it's...

    thinking about a mirrorless

    anybody have any suggestions a good relatively inexpensive mirrorless camera that's good for starters? doesn't have to be a Nikon - would just need to be able to use my current full frame lenses.. i heard the Sony A7 has the ability to use other manufacturers lenses via an adapter that attaches...

    is Canon better/more popular than Nikon?

    only asking because last week i was on vacation in Boston and i ran into at least 3 other DSLR owners and all of them had a Canon. i come home Fri then today go to a local park today and run into 2 more DSLR owners both of whom had a Canon as well. you would think that with all the photographers...

    how do i get rid of this..

    i like this picture otherwise but that gazebo type thing in the background has got to go. very tough doing a quick select and content aware delete in such a tight spot. things get put there that shouldn't be there. any ideas are welcome..

    shooting through glass..

    maybe from in a hotel room or from a tower overlook (Willis, etc)? is there a trick to preventing reflections of you and your camera or other ambient light from appearing in the image?

    PP workflow and other stuff..

    just curious about the pp methods you guys and gals use and how you keep track of/save the different settings used in tools like NIK Viveza, Topaz Adjust, etc. i actually like the base Nikon tools. i have my PC setup to automatically start Nikon Transfer when i plug in my SDHC card. from there...

    Aperture

    kind of embarrassed to ask this since it seems like a rookie question (who knows, maybe i am) but i've been seeing a lot of beautiful tack-sharp landscapes mostly on this forum but also on others where the aperture was set to f8 or f9. that confuses me because my impression was if you want...

    What effects are these

    these aren't the 2 best examples of what i'm talking about but it gets the point across.. image1 image2 notice how all the proper colors seem to be there but the whole photo looks muted somehow. i've seen a lot of these type of photos around on different sites from better photographers than...

    Fix or buy new?

    just found out on Sun that my Tokina 16-28 f2.8 wide angle suddenly does not autofocus. don't get any focusing when i press the shutter half way and don't get the the readout when pressing the AF button where you normally set the focus mode and focus points. looks like it's broken but i'm...

    What's up with my focus points?

    probably missing something but if i shoot in anything other than Auto or Single under AF-A (d9, d21, group), i get a single rectangle in the middle of the viewfinder with just dots representing the other points. when i take a picture and in playback scroll to the focus point info, i only see the...

    Sort of OT but..

    has anyone seen one of these before.. it's a Carl Zeiss dental microscope that Endodontists use for root canals (yes i had a root canal Fri). anyway when i first sat down in the chair, the microscope was set in it's unused position. looking closely i noticed what looked like a standard camera...

    Why is my bracketing doing this?

    using my D750, i recently took a bunch of 7-exposure bracketed series of photos in AP mode. when i looked at the exposure info in ViewNX 2 for each of the series, they didn't look right. for instance, for 7 exposures i would expect the EV values to be as follows: -3, -2, -1, 0, +1, +2, +3. but...
