My daughter's kitten Beauchamp de Miragerie is now 4 months old. He's wild! :p:D:cool: D3S + 400/2.8VR. Obviously 400 mm is a bit tight indoors but anything shorter and the little fellow would be licking and playing with the lens leaving no portrait options. 20190708-_D3S3016b by foppa2011, on...

TL;DR see link at the end. Nikonrumors posted a rumor about DSLR lines that will not see an upgrade. It is a rumor not a fact, but rapidly falling sales means that Nikon cannot continue to do what it has done, because people aren't buying what Nikon is selling. According to the rumor D3000...

Slow obsolete camera, 40 years old manual focus lens, so so eyesight... but it can still be fun. :o This is my part 2 of the "Beach, Lakes, River, Around Water" theme. Part 1 is here: Beach, Lakes, Rivers etc. 20190701-_P3F7990b by foppa2011, on Flickr 20190701-_P3F7991b by foppa2011, on...

I took my daughter to the seaside for a stroll. We had a lot of fun. I took my AI 28/2 with cpol and AF-S 400/2.8VR with cpol and TC-20E III.

I shot an image with an ancient Nikon D1H. The original image is 2.7 mpix. Then I tried the Photoshop CC "Preserve Details 2.0", OnOne Raw 2018 Resize (nee Genuine Fractals) and finally AI Gigapixel. I increased the image size 200% to 10.5 mpix. What is obvious is that none of the resizing...

Ancient gear is perfect for the beach: Nikon D1H + AF 135mm f/2D DC. If I'm clumsy and drop 'em into the sea my day isn't ruined.

Nikkor AI-S 28mm f/2 Bubbly Joy

One of my latest purchases, a first version Nikkor-K 50mm f/1.4 which has been factory converted to AI. I took a short stroll around town with my daughter, she is a wicked street shooter. Unprocessed images, the veiling glare, flaring, vignetting, ghosts, chromatic aberration, spherical...

This is a great page full of examples of how to never make a high dynamic range photograph. Be ready to roll on the floor laughing your socks off :D I think the "education" subforum is the right place for this, one can learn a lot from negative examples too. https://www.reddit.com/r/shittyHDR/

My daughter with her BFF captured by an obsolete D1X.

Straight into sun, almost no flaring or ghosts. 20180725-_DSC1328b by foppa2011, on Flickr Nikon D5, f/5.6, 1/2000s

Nikon released a teaser video: Nikon: "Travel of Light" The Z-mount looks huge, ready for those two new patents: 52mm f/0.9 and 36mm f/1.2 full frame mirrorless lenses. The July 25th coincides with Nikon's 100th birthday, perhaps we'll finally see the real thing in two days. :encouragement:

Too Long, Don't Wanna Read version: 55-300 is optically an okay lens, maybe even good. The VR is excellent. Autofocus is unbearably slow - as in useless. The build quality is unacceptably flimsy. Full version: Yesterday my local pro gear shop had an event (tele lens tour) and they asked me...

My daughter had braids overnight and this is how her hair looked after she opened them. AI 55mm f/1.2 @ f/1.2.

Photographer James Veitch proves it's not the gear. :) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ISdpj_dNSwI
