I've been trying to see how I can get the 24-70mm f/2.8G (non VR) to turn light into stars. I know it has 9-rounded aperture blades but on some of my other lenses, with rounded apertures, I can stop down enough and create them. I've been stopping down and testing through the aperture-range but...

I took some engagement photos the other day and processed them. I like how they came out in black and white. This is my first time shooting people like this. 80-200mm f/2.8 AF-D ED Em & Rich - Moment in Time by Pan S, on Flickr Em & Rich - Touch by Pan S, on Flickr Out of all my photos...

How does one go about heading towards this direction. I love the feel of the circular eye cup in the D700 and the D8XX series. it just latches onto my brow and face shape better. I noticed many of the Nikon circular cups aren't compatible with the D750. Any tips or advice? This is the first real...

Something I haven't been able to figure out how to do on the D750 is how to quickly set my WB with a grey card. Ideally I want to take a photo of my Grey Card (with and without flash), then use that to set my WB. How do I do this?

Today I was challenged with a difficult situation (to me). I had my camera on my desk and my co-worker asked me to take a photo of her. She's African-American with a dark skin tone. She stood infront of a bright window and smiled. The camera hunted and struggled to find her face. 3 seconds of...

How do I download full resolution images from my Nikon Camera to my smartphone using the Nikon WMU app? Nikon WMU claims they transfer "optimal resolution" for smartphones "optimized for display" and a VGA sized at 640x480. With my Sony alpha camera I can download from full 6000x4000 JPEG and...

Tell me your thoughts and honest feelings about this. Would you use a DX camera as your main camera at a wedding? What are the strengths, weaknesses, shortcomings? Does the D500 or specific lenses fix any of those shortcomings?

I could be happier with my 80-200mm f/2.8 ED. I've been waiting quite patiently for Nikon to release an updated version of their f/2.8 telephoto zoom. The telephoto 2.8 zooms are updated about every 5-6 years: 1982 1988 (6 years) 1993 (5 years) 1997 (5 years) 2003 ( 6 years) 2009 (6 years)...

Howdy! I'll be traveling to California to take a great deal of portraits. I've traveled with cameras before, but this time I plan on bringing my strobe kit and I'm unfamiliar with the rules of travel as I know they're getting more strict. I'll be bringing a 500W strobe and a 3' Octabox. I plan...

I have quite sub-par vision and safe to say I'm terribly nearsighted with astigmatism. If I look through an OVF with my glasses off, the image is as blurry as I see the world? If I look through my friend's Coolpix 530 I can look through her EVF without glasses? Can someone explain to me what is...

I've accepted my most unusual request ever and could use extra tips. I've been asked to photograph a friend giving birth because I was the only photographer she felt comfortable asking but still wanted photos of the ordeal. The process is intended for natural birth but we are prepared for a...

Howdy folks, My buddy, the 80-200 f/2.8 has been with me for a long time. I originally got him for panning and long range autophotography (with a monopod) but now I use it more in-hand for portraits and telephoto events. It's about time for me to go VR/VC. My hands just aren't steady enough to...

Hi folks! Thanks for help with the backdrop suggestions, it really came through and I finished the PPE. Clients loved the product and were impressed I did it all on location. :D One thing that I've been planning for a while is to upgrade my key light. I was looking at the Profoto B1 because it...

Hi guys, if you have a D750 you may have noticed that there was no option under the drop down menu to add your D750 as your main or secondary camera in your profile. The option has been added and now you can. Show off your gear proudly Nikonites. :cool:

Hi everyone, I think I might want to try macro photography. It's something completely out of my zone that I've never really considered before until seeing beautiful bokeh macro pictures. I'm a complete noob at macro photography, and I'm scared of insects so I'll avoid that, but I figure a cost...

Hi folks, I've been hired to take company headshots and was wondering if you had any recommendations on backdrops (portable or canvas). The feeling that I get from traditional headshots are the lightly patterned gray backgrounds which I'd like to replicate. I will be taking these photos on...

And I noticed that you get a visual and audio focus confirmation when manually focusing! The central focus square illuminates red and beeps at you. Having been raised with Nikon cameras since my childhood this seems like an astonishingly wonderful and pleasant tool compared to the "green dot and...

Hi guys, I want to try to light an evergreen tree in the middle of a forest however I don't know how I would be able to power the lights when not near any power. Are there any ideas, car battery to AC wall plug jacks or other ideas that I could use to accomplish this? Thanks, ​Pan

Picked up my little sister from the airport today. Decided to hand down my D7000 and 35mm f/1.8 DX to my her for Christmas because she gave me my gift early, socks :) When she got it, she tried it out and noticed there's no zoom. I sat her down excitedly and taught her about the exposure...

I've never posted images here on Nikonites before but I felt like sharing one of my favorite shots. I finally got around to cleaning it in Lightroom.
