I've got nothing to say :^)   It's perfect.

The wildlife refuge is closed owing to congressional idiocy. I went in anyway :^) Hood from WA

You do now :^) http://www.dpreview.com/forums/post/52034247

For some Nikon cameras. ACR is better for the D7100/D800e filterless items. Fewer artifacts, better detail. A/B them and you'll see.

This is a great looking pano.  I tweaked it a bit by changing the WB somewhat from blue to yellow.  The blue seemed a bit heavy and the overall slightly too dark.   I ran it through a couple of...

Cloudy skies are not an issue with any pano program, assuming you locked down exposure and WB.  Blue sky through 180 degrees with the sun in or near the frame, especially using a polarizer is the...

Going off topic, sorry.  Once again, we have here the combo platter of D800 myths.  The D800/e is the easiest camera ever to get a technically excellent picture.  It is child's play compared to the...

If you can only have one pano program, Autopano Pro should be it.  It stitches panels that other programs will not, like my flight of geese below, and rarely if ever asks for control points.  It's...

The fall migration is in full swing along the flats next to the Columbia River in Vancouver.  Too bad we can't get in to the wildlife refuges.  Ten shots horizontal with the D800e and 80-400VR,...

Nice one.  It looks as if you have to get in a boat to get off your boat.  Not too convenient!

And that's the name of that tune.  Brand loyalty can overpower a lot of shortcomings, true enough.

This is where I don't get it.  Sacrifice detail for a little bit more speed?   No thank you.  I'm not sure where you would have gotten that information.  That's why they have a tripod foot on the...

Men, if you can't get a razor sharp bird shot with a Nikon late model body and any telephoto they make from the 80-400VR on up, you have some other issue than the equipment.  Jim, you surprise me,...

Geez, Russell, if we penalized everyone who expressed an opinion without an example, we'd have nobody left in here :^)  I put up way more than my share of examples, not that it does me any good,...

Autopano is very easy to use, PTGui a bit less so, but neither are all that difficult.  Try the demos and see. If you are not prepared to become skilled with control points, do not buy PTGui, as it...

Two stops is fine, four or five isn't.

Sharpness is out of the picture taking equation with the D7100 and just about any lens at its better settings, corners excepted on many. Now you've got only the subject to worry about.

Not going to happen.

All manufacturers will be without AA filters soon enough.  Nothing to see here but more detail.

Lost its direction by bringing out the best lineup of DX and FX cameras on the planet, all at very reasonable prices?  The D7100 even threw in pro grade autofocus and a much sharper picture than...
