After 4 years of use my Tamron 150-600 VC was jumping really badly when activated. I opened a ticket on their website and sent in my lens. They fixed the VC and cleaned the inside of the lens under warranty. Turnaround time in total was about 8 days and all parts and labor were covered. Very...

This is an interesting read about two photographers that took nearly the same picture of crashing waves on a lighthouse and ended up promoting the pictures on social media. This caused a finger pointing argument about stolen images. If you fancy yourself a sleuthing pixel peeper then this is...

The diversity of C@non seems to help their bottom line. If Nikon had a constant downward trend in profits would that prompt anyone to jump ship? Canon sees 2018 profit jumping to decade high on cost cuts, medical unit | One America News Network

Sorry for the ignorance here, our Flickr Group (Nikonites) has a contributor that posts pics that look like they should be viewed with 3D glasses. Is there a set of glasses I should wear to view them? The poster is wim hoppenbrouwers. I'm also curious who that is on our message board.

This sounds intriguing. https://www.coindesk.com/kodak-launching-cryptocurrency-photographers/

I'm seeing that Crashplan is leaving the "home" backup market and concentrating on small business. I'm currently with Crashplan and if I stayed with them during the transition then my fees would be about $70/month. That's more than I want to spend so I'm going to check if there are any other...

Sorry if this was previously posted. It's an interesting video about certain misunderstood aspects of photography. I was only able to watch the first 7 points. It's a LOOONG 45 minute video. Thought some of you would enjoy it. I found the info about the Nikon 70-200mm f2.8 focus breathing...

Sorry if this has been posted. I'm sure it's made the rounds on social media but thought it was very relevant for this forum. It's about portrait work and how photographers looks at the subject when they are told he is an ex-con or a self-made millionaire or an alcoholic or a fisherman, etc...

PBS is launching this blog today and it looks interesting. Do you know who took these photos? It kind of details the story behind a photograph. Could yield some really interesting stories like the one about the photographer that found these film transparencies in a thrift store

This is an interesting idea that I never thought of. Magic Lantern Just Figured Out How to Boot Linux on a DSLR, and That's a Huge Deal An excerpt: Today they released the first hints that they're working on allowing Canon DSLRs to boot into a Linux kernel, essentially turning the camera body...

I sent my D300 off yesterday to Kolari Vision for a 590 IR conversion. I'll post up more info as I go through the process. After doing some research, I decided to go with them instead of LifePixel due to cost and another member (Backdoorhippie) here having used them. Their check out system...

Hello Nikonites, I told a friend that I would help with some work portraits for his website so the eventual pic he uses will be smaller. This is my first time so I did some playing around to try and dial in the settings. I understand I can only display one pic so of the 25 or so test shots I...

Hello Nikonites, I thought maybe someone on this site might have some good suggestions. I'm looking for some kind of software that can blur out faces in videos (to protect their identity). It's for a friend of mine and although he could download freeware he doesn't mind spending a little...

STM's thread about going back in a time machine reminded me of the WayBack Machine that archives old internet sites. It's an interesting historical look at sites around the web. Here's a snapshot of Nikonites in it's growing years (2010). This thread jdeg was asking for moderators and...

Tried my hand at some long exposures using ND filters. The pic below ended up being a 10 stop stacked on a 6 stop for a total of 2min11second exposure. Unfortunately the circumstances were not ideal for framing my pic. My camera was mounted on a gorilla pod which is short so angling up meant...

I just got my Tamron 150-600 and I'm starting to get a feel for it. So far I'm liking what I see. I did some handheld slowish shutter pics this morning (with no coffee) and Vibration Control ON. The VC is pretty active (way more than my old Sigma 150-500) and anticipation is key. These...

I just wanted to pass along a tip that I "fell" into with an online storage vendor (JustCloud). I signed up for a free account some time ago but never did anything with it. JustCloud was pretty aggressive at trying to get me to sign up and use their service. A few days went by and they...

This was a neat video I saw on youtube. A D800E placed in a custom remote control car to get some close ups of lions. "Car-L" meets the lions - YouTube

Once in awhile I check online for camera prices to see what everything is selling for. Invariably the reviews for all cameras are always 4 stars and up. Pretty much the same giddy banter about how great the camera performs, etc. When I came across the D610 I was shocked to see the ratings...

I FINALLY got around to setting up and playing around with the Reikan FoCal program. I tested my 50mm on my D600 and D7100 and came away with some interesting results for aperture sharpness, fine tuning, etc. But since I own a D600 the Dust Analysis in FoCal was another reason I bought the...
