After about two months of shopping around and comparing prices, I finally pulled the trigger on a new D7200. Selected the camera body only because I already have the two kit lenses from my old camera (18-55mm and 55-200mm) also have 50mm f1.8 and a 105mm f14 Macro. Decided to stretch things...

Well I feel like a Newbie here. Been almost a year since I've been here. I was taken offline due to illness. In simple terms, my lungs have pretty much logged off. As a result, I get pneumonia about 2 times a year, which puts me in the hospital. I'm also on Oxygen any time I'm out and...

I was surfing around lynda.com this morning and stumbled across their Windows 10 videos. It appears that these are open to everyone, member or not. (my membership is currently inactive). If you're thinking about upgrading to windows 10, you might want to check them out.

OK. I'm going to try this, and hope not to be the first to fail. I can't guarantee completing this because of my limited ability to get out and look for this kind of stuff. I will try though. Abandoned Arches Architecture Bark Black and White Broken Chairs and...

Stumbled across this E-Book (Free Download). For a rookie like me, it will be helpful. Sure hope the link works.

I looked for this question in the forum but my search skills stink. I have a Canon Pixma Pro9000 Mark II printer. I've been replacing ink cartridges by ordering from Canon Replacements (online), but I also see numerous third party companies like Innovera who sell "compatible" cartridges for...

I've been offered an interesting proposal and don't know what to do. Some friends of mine participate in Civil War Reenactments on most weekends during the summer. First weekend in August, they will be near Montpelier Va (home of James Madison). On Saturday, there will be Night firing of the...

I finally did it. I've been trying to convince the boss for a new camera for well over a year now. First with the D7000 and then the D7100. Nothing worked so I changed tactics. Instead of asking for $1500, I asked for $250 to buy a lens. She agreed and I placed an order for the 50mm F/1.8G...

I debated over whether to post this. By my standards, I consider it a good effort. Your standards may be different. I'm really not looking for "What's Wrong" with it, I'm looking for suggestions on how to improve on it the next time I try this. It's a 5 shot (focus) stacked photo F9.0...

Decided that since I'll be around all four of my Grandkids plus a niece and a nephew on Easter weekend that I'd try and do some fun photography. Sprung the bucks to "Rent" the Sigma 8-16 wideangle. Should provide for some interesting effects. I rented it for a week starting next wednesday, so...

My wife is a habitual QVC shopper. I try (to no avail) to explain to her that not all QVC deals are that good. Example I used is the D600 http://www.qvc.com/Nikon-D600-SLR-with-24-85mm-VR-Lens-DSRL-Bundle-Search-Results.product.E263925.html BHPhoto for the same rig Nikon D600 Digital Camera...

Normally, I just let winter storm comments slide. Here in my area of western Virginia, we get snow. Sometimes we get a lot of snow. Usually it's here and then gone in a few days. Last Night/Todays storm is no different. What was different is that we lost power for about 15 hours. Our power...

Just thought I'd stir things up a little. Had the wife fix up Dakota for the new year. (Dakota did NOT like it). 2012 started out good for me then turned around. I'm hoping 2013 will be a little easier on me so I can get out more. Perhaps the rest of you would like to share your first shots...

I realize that not many are using Windows 8 right now, but It appears when I make comments or open a post, the "Enter" button is ignored. I just got this laptop (early Christmas present). I was just wondering if anyone else was using Win8 and if they had a similar problem. I also tried...

My three favorite shots of Snowball the Albino Groundhog. Found out today that a neighbor (two houses up) had trapped and got rid of two of Snowball's pups. This evening she trapped Snowball and was going to get rid of her. When we found out, we asked to allow us to get rid of her. Another...

OK... Going to stick my toe in and test the waters. I sure hope I can complete this. This is picture ONE. It was taken yesterday, but posted today. Now I need to go get a shot for today. We had two of our granddaughters (7 & 5) for the weekend. They decided to decorate the hallway with...

Don't know how this happened, but now when I click a link from Outlook, Google Chrome wants to open instead if Internet Explorer. Would be nice to get it back to IE, but it's not that critical a problem, and it's definately not a problem with the forum software. Here are a couple of other...

Now for some long winded questions about something I've never successfully done. Saturday (9/24) I'll be going to an air show at a naval air station about 4 hours drive from here, and would like to get at least a few good shots. I'm nowhere near a busy airport so I have very little experience...

I had about an hour to kill so I stopped at a local cruise in. Weather was really crappy so the selections were very slim. I happened across this 29 Ford and I'm a sucker for old car front ends. (I can almost guess what Pete is going to say about front ends). Not having bracketing available...

I'm trying to figure out if I can upgrade my SD memory card. I'd like to get a Class 10 if the D60 will handle it. I read the manual, and I quote. "The following memory cards have been tested and approved for use in the D60. All cardsof the designated make and capacity can be used, regardless...
