I have read a several posts where people find the 105mm Micro very loud when VR is turned on, Today I just bought a new 105mm from a local camera shop and it too is loud and noisy - to the point of being annoying. When I push the AF-ON, the motor starts and it will run a couple of seconds AFTER...

I’m headed to the Daytona 500 in February and I am not allowed to bring a Tripod or a Monopod. I have the 200-500 and while I can to pretty good handholding, it would be really nice if I could support it someway - any ideas? Also, if anyone has shot a NASCAR event, I’ll take your tips!

I kayak a lot here in Central Florida and recently opted to take my D500 and 18-300mm (My hiking kit) with me. I am taking all the precautions; dry bag, towel, drip rings, etc. but inadvertently some water does get on the body. A drip here and there or even transfer form my hands, which is no...

I started this project with the idea of shooting inside of a brewery, but getting inside access to the larger breweries was a little more difficult than I was expecting. Access to the local breweries was not too difficult, but while they make awesome craft beers, their “behind-the-scenes” is...

Blooming in January is difficult, but in Colorado everything is either dead or covered in snow. So I headed to Phelan Garden, a nursery in town where I know I can always find something to shoot in the winter time! What cool about this place is the greenhouse roof acts like a giant soft box and...

I started this project with the intent to go down and capture some of the protesters in the park and the “sad” was how our country has turned so soft with “everyone’s a winner” attitude that these folks forgot how to actually lose. When I got to the park where this “huge” protest was supposed to...

The “mine” mentality in the photography world sometimes gets taken way too literally. While, yes, as photographers we “own” all of our images – the images given to a client are “theirs” to use in ANY manner that their license agreement states – period. All too often, I see photographers with...

Rocky Mountain Mule Deer: The Mule Deer gets its named for its ears, which are large like those of the mule. This doe was with a small group - and her buck was not far behind. Unlike the related white-tailed deer, mule deer are generally more associated with the land west of the Missouri River...

I live in Fountain, Colorado - just south of Colorado Springs home of America’s Mountain - Pikes Peak. But for this challenge, I thought I would show you something just a bit different. When most people think of Colorado, they think the Rocky Mountains and for the most part they would be right...

I have created a new group called The 52 Photos Project. The focus of this group is to Inspire and to be Inspired! Each week, you'll have a theme to follow. The idea is to think Out of the Box! If the theme is Weather, that could be a "Storm" or a Weathered Barn; so put some thought into it...

Looking for some real-world experience/advice. I have both a D810, D700 and D500 along with all the Pro Glass from 14mm to 500mm and I do well with them in most all scenarios that I put them - and then... This past year my wife was diagnosed with Breast Cancer and then the threat of Uterine...

Is there a better way of adding IPTC data to the D500, other then using the in-camera menus? It woks of for adding copyright and name - but a pain in the a$$ for IPTC!

So I am a bit confused and I am looking for some insight from those that “actually” know from real world experiences. I understand the difference in Tripods with thicker/stiffer legs will reduce movement and provide a more stable platform - but is that what I really need? I keep...

Learning long lens techniques with the Nikon 200-500mm. This was shot yesterday morning in very low light and my only option was hand-held. This is a young Jake is a little over a year old - but strutting like his poppa Tom would. While not totally happy with the sharpness - I am ok with what I...

For those of you with the Nikon 200-500 & Sigma/Tamron 150-600 lenses, what are you using for stabilization? There is hand-holding, mono pods, traditional tripods with either a ball head or gimbal. What's your flavor, VR on/off type of shooting?
