Anyone able to offer advice on best settings for taking pics of Aircraft and Paratroopers when their background will be bright/cloudy skies? Back Story: On Sunday I am taking my family to watch soldiers in my unit conduct an Airborne operations (Jump from planes) and would like to take...

I've seen a few posts of others wanting to hook their camera to their telescope. This led me to a few questions and searching the net only added to some of the confusion. I own a Meade EXT-60 telescope (have had for about 10 years) Also own a D5100. 1) Can anyone assist in telling me what I...

Anyone else using Windows 8 and Explorer 10? I have lost the ability to hit return in a post and separate the paragraphs. If I jump on to my daughter's computer (WIN 7 & Explorer 9) I have no issues with this. Curious if I am the only one having this issue.

I've read multiple reviews from multiple sources and now come to you for your wisdom and advice. I'm looking at getting an external flash for my D5100. I'm looking at the Sunpak DF3000 ($49.99) I am looking for something that will perform better than the flash on the camera that still allows...

Well. Jinxed myself. All the recent talk of backing up files and extra drives... Last week my 3TB drive arrived in the mail and I had every intent of backing up all my photos to it. My recent hours at work have been crazy and I figured I would wait until the 15th to do this as I will be on...

On the D5100 is there a way to engage the AE-L / AF-L and keep it engaged without having to constantly hold the button?

A simple 'Garden Reflecting Ball' that broke out of its mount. I was trying to capture the contrast of the amber ball and the reflection of the sky above it. .... Wish I has spent a little time 'reflecting' on cleaning the table... :(

About the same time I found this site I found another: Stuck in Customs. Has anyone used Trey's Lightroom presets? Trey’s Lightroom Presets – An awesome collection of 75+ HDR Lightroom 4 Presets Thoughts? Opinions? I know, eventually, with some time/patience/experience a person could make...

I know we have a few more months before the weather turns (at least in the south) but spent the weekend at the lake house prepping things for winter and thought I would capture a pic. It is a bracket of 8 pictures all 1 EV off. I like the way it turned out.

Finally home and with my camera. Figured I'd start one of these 365 threads to force myself into taking pictures and geting better. While I have been experimenting I am still predominately in Auto mode... I'll break out soon though. So here is my 1st 6 SEP 2012:

As I sit here and feel I am trolling the forum; I have a question. Is there a place I can post non-nikon photos? (An internal profile album/Gallery? Non-Nikon Off-topic thread?) Now, now... I know this is a Nikon website and I am not looking to steal the spotlight from the website intent. As I...

Thought I would give this blog thing a shot. “Oh Dang…. The Trees!” This is usually heard within a 50m radius of me on most of my jumps. Obviously not heard too often during a night jump as I don’t see the trees and utter a “Humpf!!! Dang!!” as I plow into the ground at 18-21 feet per...

I will apologize in advance... I acknowledge the fact that this will more than likely disgust many of you as I am asking a question of a low-cost Tripod. While I know there are better Tripods - I’m on a slight budget. The wife was patient enough with the Camera purchase as well as a few other...

Been looking over the site for the last few days and figured I would finaly register. I've purchased a D5100 that came with 2 lenses; 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 AF-S DX VR Nikkor, 55-300mm f/4.5-5.6G ED VR AF-S DX Nikkor. Although they were delivered to my house.... I'm sitting in Afghanistan till the...
