I'm hoping I can get some advice here. I'm working with a D7100 / Sigma 17-50mm f/2.8 EX OS DC combination and I'm having difficulty getting sharp images all the time. I was beginning to think it might be the lens, but I know better - because occasionally I get a great shot that's tack sharp...

So for the first time since I got my D7100 I needed to bust out my flash to get a few shots in a bar where our homebrew club was having our annual Christmas party. I put the SB600 on the camera and every time I'd go to take a picture, the flash would seem to fire two or three times at less...

Can anyone recommend a good photo gear bag? My current photo sling is literally falling apart. It's been with me to Jamaica a couple of times and for about 8 years now. Currently my kit consists of: Nikon D7100 Sigma 17-50 f/2.8 Nikon 55-200 VR Nikon 50 f/1.8 Nikon 35 f/1.8 SB-600 A few...

I went downtown Joliet, IL last night to take a few night shots of the area. I came upon this sweet neon sign for a guy who is making a go of a cheesecake store. While I'm composing the picture, at least two couples walked out and said how good the cheesecakes were. Naturally, I go in for a...

There was some high school post season football going on near me this weekend so I went over and took some shots with the 70-200 while I had it. Any feedback appreciated!

I got my hands on the Nikon 70-200 f/2.8 VRII this weekend and found an hour or so to do some portraits. Let me tell you - shooting portraits isn't exactly as easy as I thought. There's about 40 things that have to go on to get a great image - Is the aperture set right? ISO? Shutter Speed high...

I have the 70-200 f/2.8 VR II on rent for next weekend. I just found out the local photo store has gear for rent and at $30 for the weekend I just rented it to play around with - figuring I could line up my niece or a friend or two for some portrait practice. Well, it turns out that my cousin's...

So I'm trying to understand the relationship between DoF, Focal Length, and focus on DoF - not only to expand my knowledge, but for an upcoming photo project I've got brewing. So I've got my wife somewhat on board with doing a private boudoir shoot in the next month or so. As a hobbyist and...

Looking to pick up some new SD cards for my newly acquired D7100. Right now I have a hodgepodge of sizes and speeds that I've acquired over the years - generally with an emphasis on price when buying. I shoot raw, and tend to shoot all types of photos - lots of family stuff and some of my...

Thinking about pulling the trigger on a Sigma 17-50 f/2.8 HSM OS. I'd love to have the Nikkor, but the price swing is just WAY too big for me to justify it as a hobbyist. If I made my income with the lens, maybe.. I see wildly swinging prices on this lens.. like $469 from Amazon, $399 from...

Well, I finally got the D7100 in my hands and it's a hell of a camera. I'm sure I'll spend lots of time getting things tuned just the way I like. Overall, I think it's a superb piece of equipment. This is a quick HDR of some shots took after work today. I really need to get better with...

I took this photo last year as my sister-in-law graduated with her Bachelor's degree in Business. Pretty proud day for her and her daughter. I was pretty green (and still am) with Lightroom at the time. Any feedback / critique appreciated. I can't believe I just found this forum!

After owning a D40 since I believe 2008, I've decided to buy a new body and purchased a D7100 yesterday. After salivating over it at Best Buy for the past few weeks, and countless hours looking at it online, I decided it was time to end the obsession and just get it. Roberts Camera had them...
