    Odd focus shake - video example inside

    It's not my video but someone else's with the same issue. They put their iPhone up to the viewfinder for the video. Mine just started today when I went to the lake. 55-300 VR on my D5200. Haven't tried my other lense yet (18-55mm) but will tomorrow. Any insight would be greatly appreciated...

    Gallery alternative for iPad

    Can't find a good free app or even paid for the life of me. New to Apple but Android had a lot of good alternatives. I used quickpic on Android. Figure I'd give it a shot and ask here though. Thanks

    Always feel like I need the fastest shutter speed

    When out shooting, I always feel the need to use the fastest shutter speed I can for fear of photos not being sharp. I read about the shutter speed = focal length or more. I know its not necessarily but I feel like I need to unless I'm using a tripod. I mostly like shooting wildlife and...

    Preost-processing to Instagram issue

    @hollow_point_photography Instagram account above if anyone's curious. I have only kept one with this issue on there since its not that bad. The most recent squirrel photo. I have never had this issue before (except Facebook, but not exactly the same) I've used GIMP and Snapseed to edit...

    Preserved spiders and insects

    Something new I am trying. Picked up a few vials at Hobby Lobby cheap. First I tried doing just alcohol to preserve them but they just sank to the bottom and rolled around So I read around and found some people use hand sanitizer to suspend them so I gave that a shot and it worked out...

    Lens Warranty

    So I bought my D5200 kit an 55-300 at the end of Jan. 2015. Lately the 18-55 has been having trouble focusing. It will either search a lot or not try to focus at all (in conditions when it should). It also makes a loud whine/squeal and an occasional rough sound when focusing too. I registered...

    Help identifying car

    First off, Sorry for the bad phone pics Found it in the woods on a piece of property that was apart of a farm that was sold in 1965. The area the car was in was kept as a wildlife Prairie (untouched since 1850 iirc) Car is pretty buried so I could see much. First photo I flipped since the...

    Rifle

    Playing with some stuff I had laying around. Only thing that bothers me is the can is for 7.62 and the gun is a .22 Other than that I'm happy with it.

    Summer shooting

    Just curious, For those of you that live in hot, humid areas, what do you do when shooting outside? I love hiking and shooting landscapes, wildlife, "macro" etc but it becomes unbearable to even venture outside at times. Sweat rolling down onto the viewfinder, being eaten by bugs, and just the...

    First Milky Way attempt

    Have never shot anything sky-wise other than clouds and the moon. I went out and shot the milky way last night and here is what I ended up with. I started getting the ISO dialed in to where I wanted it but the clouds moved in so had to leave. Thinking next time too, I will travel further away...

    Some Jewelry

    They are sitting on black felt. I have bought some black crushed velvet since then however. I don't have any off camera flashes or photography lights yet so what I used here was just a basic ott light (florescent) Photo is cropped too. I'll throw the original in below for comparison. Have...

    Jewelry

    Bought some black fabric (can't remember if it is velvet or fleece) and found some jewelry to play around with. Used my 55-300mm for this along with a florescent ott light. I know the jewelry needs to be cleaned, starting to tarnish etc, I am just unsure how to clean it and I don't want to ruin...

    Focus/quality Issue

    Unsure what would cause this. I have the D5200. I was using both my 55-300mm and the kit 18-55mm today. The 18-55mm has a cheaper Sunpak Polarized filter on it too. To me the images just seems really rough. Almost a sharp blurry. I'm thinking it has to do with the fact that today, I decided to...

    Extra "junk" photos

    Probably has ben posted somewhere already but a brief search didn't find much. I have the problem of hoarding I guess you could say. If you go under any of my photo folders on my laptop I have a lot of bad/duplicate photos. Any day I go out and shoot I put all my photos on my hard drive...

My son is only 4 but I think it may be somthing he'll enjoy a little later on (1-2 years) Just curious if it would better to get a cheap P&S camera or to get a little more expensive "rugged" camera (shock protection...
