I'm shooting with a D850 and since I started shooting more landscapes I've also been bracketing my shots (usually a group of 5) for HDR stacking in post. However, I'm also shooting single shots interspersed with the brackets. Can the D850 rename a bracket series to make them obvious (eg...

Here are some shots from my trip to Alaska a couple of months ago. The birds and otter were taken at Resurrection Bay, the rest were at the Alaska Conservation Center. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9.

After reading the manual and doing some online research into Nikon's IR and RF triggers I'm left a little confused. Is it really true that the D850 has no *built-in* remote trigger receiver; neither IR nor RF? Thanks!

So my wife and I will be in Anchorage, AK between 4/29 - 5/4. I'm looking for specific photography location suggestions (glaciers, wildlife, landscape, auroa borealis, etc [but frankly this is probably once in a lifetime so I'll shoot damn near anything]) within a 2-3 hour drive or so. Also...

While learning about shooting video with my D7200, I'd read lens focus noise was a pretty typical issue with the on camera mics. So I decided to buy one of these: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B015R0IQGW/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 Unfortunately, I still get lens focus...

Has anyone used the Tamron TAP-In Console? Among other things, it indicates you can fine tune the focus lenses. But presumably you'd have to do this in conjunction with some sort of lens focus chart? Or does it have some other internal method of determining focus? Any ideas? Thanks!

So, this may be a silly question (and possibly in the wrong place). What are people filling the sand bags used to weight lighting and backdrop stands? It seems to me that if you were to use beach or traction sand in them it'd find it's way out through the weave of the bag and maybe even cause...

Do flash specifics ever get saved anywhere in EXIF or IPTC? Now that I'm starting to work with OCF it'd be awesome to go back and see what the flash settings were.

I'm looking into purchasing a "Super Zoom" (yes I know about their IQ issues) and have seen the Tamron 16-300mm lens. And while I currently have a D7200 I'm looking for one that is actually an FX lens since I plan to move to full frame in the future. However, I'm having problems finding a...

First let me say that I totally understand that culling photos is ultimately a personal decision. But since I've started shooting sports (roller derby to be precise) my total yearly shots have gone from roughly 2,500/yr to 10,500+ so far this year. Yes, I ditch all the "bad" (out of focus...

One of my friends recently purchased a D5300 bundle from someone who decided not to become a wedding photographer (yea!). What was included in the bundle looks suspiciously like an Amazon bundle that's listed as an "Import Model". What's the easiest way to determine if the d5300 is actually a...

Does anyone know if there's any appreciable speed difference if you choose to duplicate or split jpg/raw files vs setting the dual slots as overflow? Basically I'm wondering if using the 2 slots concurrently is slower than using them sequentially. Thanks!

Recently I've been shooting more action shots and I've come up against an irksome issue. Basically, after 7 seconds the camera goes into a "sleep" mode. And while any of the buttons will "wake" the camera up automatically the command dials and the 4-way multi selector do not. So this means I can...

Although I've shot quite a bit I don't do a whole lot with flash, but I've just started shooting Roller Derby and would like some help with an idea I'm trying to suss out. Typically I shoot bouts at 1/320 or higher as this seems to freeze the action nicely. However, some venues are poorly lit...

I'm playing around with a couple of ideas for shoot that would take place at night in a cemetery. But since most of them are closed/off limits at night, I was thinking of taking the shot in daylight and PP'ing them to look as if they were night shots. Is there a convincing way to take photos in...

Recently I purchased a Nikkor 85mm f1.8 lens and have been getting some blurry results. Although I must say it's happened with other lenses as well (50mm f1.8 [film era] & less frequently 70-200mm VR1). So I'm hoping that some one here can shed some light as to why this happens. Both the photos...

So I've been playing around with the DSLR Remote app (android) and its got the a timer capability so that I can take a sequence of photos at whatever interval I want. The problem I'm running into is that the D90 reverts from IR Remote mode to regular shooting mode "in about a minute" (quote from...

Every now and then I stumble upon mention of a lower priced 85mm 1.8 that is comparable or out performs the Nikon. But for the life of me I can't remember the manufacturer nor have I been successful with a forum/google search. Does anyone have any ideas? Or maybe I'm just mis-remembering? Thanks!

I've run across an interesting situation and I was wondering if others have come across it as well. If I have a flash in the hot-shoe and I turn it off I can take a single photo and that's it, after that no response. In order to continue taking pics I have to turn the flash back on or remove it...
