I would like to wish every one a Happy and Healthy New year! I hope 2018 brings you good health, prosperity and time with your camera and those you care about! I have not been on the forum as much as I wanted in 2017, partly due to work, partly do to delving in deeper with my photography though...

As if I needed an excuse to get out and shoot, Happy National Camera Day NATIONAL CAMERA DAY National Camera Day is observed each year on June 29th. This day commemorates photographs, the camera, and their invention. A camera is an irreplaceable tool used to record and replicate memories...

Saturday as I was unpacking my car from a photo trip, I pulled my camera bag out of the trunk and heard the horrible sound of my D7100 and 18-70mm hitting the concrete, I had failed to zip my case. I have now heard that sound a 100 times in my sleep. So the damage report, is :sorrow::sorrow:my...

In early January, I told my coworker that my goal for the year was to get one of my pictures printed in the local paper. I was going to tag the photo on social media, but no soliciting or no other contact other than that. Well Friday I got a call and today my goal was fulfilled. Although this is...

What do you use to clean your sensor. I have a D7100 that needs cleaned! I have run my camera's cleaner and have blown it out, but still lots of dust.

I am thinking of getting a flash for my D7100 where I mainly use my 18-70mm 3.5, but I also use my 55-200mm f4.5. Most of my pictures are outside, but I have done some inside work as well. I purchased my D7100 as a Nikon refurbished, so I was thinking about going the same rout with my flash. My...

Maybe there is a better forum for this (I start 90% of my posts with this statement), but I think this is important. I still continue to see myself as new here, I came on board on Dec 7th of last year while I was still researching my camera. Today I officially financially joined the community...

So I am seeing grain/noise/pixelation in my photos the last two shoots. I was so frustrated with the JPGs, I went back to the RAWs figuring I over-processed but it was there also. I would like some feed-back on what is going on. Camera: D7100 Lens: 18-70mm Nikon I shoot mainly in aperture mode...

OK, so I already had one failed attempt of taking Milky Way pictures. My question is kind of a no brainier, but I have to ask. I live on the north west site of Oklahoma City, so when I go to DarkSky.com to look for a good place to shoot the closest and darkest is further North west, but since...

Ok, I am fairly new, so this question I am sure has been asked already (so you can point me to a thread if you like). My question is should I set my camera to shoot Black and White or convert pictures in Photoshop? Is there a quality difference between shooting in black and white rather than...

I purchased a Hoya Alpha Polarizing filter. I am using it on my Nikon 18-70mm on my D7100. When I put it on it darkens slightly, but I do not notice a difference when I rotate it. I know it works best 90 degrees from the sun. Am I doing something wrong? How can I test it? Please help Thanks.

OK, remember, I am a newbie and learning. So I have been trying to go out and shoot as much as possible, so yesterday, my son and I went out to shoot some train track shots, they came out pretty good, but to my joy a train came by. It was a bright sunny day about 2 in the afternoon. The sun was...

I am a newbie out having fun with my camera. I love taking out door landscapes, sunsets and nature shots. I have a question, what is causing these halo lines in my sunset pictures? Is it my lens? Can I get rid of them in Post production? D7100 Nikon 55-200MM 4-5.6 G VR II Hoya UV Filter Shot...

First let me say that I am never sure if I ma posting my question in the correct area, so if it belongs somewhere else I apologize. OK, I love my new D7100 and I am snapping away pictures and having lots of fun! My question is I started shooting both Raw and JPG. I quickly realized that I was...

I got a D7100 for Christmas and I love it!! I received a Nikon 55-200mm VR II lens to go with it. Problem is I need that short zone covered. Family pictures inside and out, my wife quilts and wants me to take pictures of all of her quilts. My plan was to Start collecting really good...

I just received my new D7100 with my Nikon 55-200M lens. It is in perfect conditions with 1,100 actuation's :(. I was hoping for less, but Oh well that does not remove my excitement for this camera. I took a leap of faith by selling my Nikon L380 and returning to full photography after 25 years...
