There's a little pink on the horizon, which seems to suggest that there was still a bit of light in the sky (allowing the trees and rocks to have some depth as well).  You might experiment with a...

I work in theatre. l think these images have a lot going for them, actually.  David is correct: headshots are almost always in color. They're also 8-10 in size, too. These 3 shots are oriented to...

Yeah, I guess I was feeling pretty old when I wrote that.  I believe you're right, though about the boon for wedding and event photography.  I was at a wedding last month where the videographer...

There are, of course, lots of examples of DSLRs being used in "REAL" videos-- the episode of House that was shot using only DSLRs being one of many.  The problem tends to be that consumers don't...

Okay, this just hit me like a thunderbolt out of the blue...  Canon has discounted their flagship 5D Mark III a whopping $900 through some vendors, and the reason is crystal clear.  Now that one...

I'm assuming that's at 400% or greater?  And I'm assuming that it appears regardless of which lens you're using (because it can be a spot on the lens itself; if you have only one lens clean it...

As someone pointed out, 60i is good for creating slow motion clips.  The eye interprets roughly 18fps or so as smooth continuous movement.  So at 30fps you can safely slow your footage down to just...

I used to own a D90, currently have both a D7000 and a D600.  Both the D90 and the D7000 are great cameras.  The D7000 has superior flexibility and quality, but it also comes at a price.  You need...

I actually have the Swivi.  For an external monitor it fits nicely around the D7000, is pretty compact, has great image quality.  It has an issue with not tightening as much as you'd like (the...

Okay, this baffles me.  First, given that these are supposed to be professionals, why didn't they test the d600 against a light meter to establish correct exposure?  Comparing it to other DSLRs is...

I also find this to be a pain, but I believe if you set your preferred exposure while in MOVIE Live view, you can then switch back to Still Mode and re-create it, yes? This type of night shot is a...

First I'd say if you're happy with the results you're getting from the D7000 you should drag your feet and wait for the next generation of cameras.  Simply because you can.  Never let anyone...

I have mine assigned to my preview button: MENU - Custom Settings - F Controls.  It appears in my viewfinder.  I had thought it I could get the full virtual horizon to display in LiveView, but...

I have that grip and yes you can use it with just one battery in the grip. I can't remember if there's a setting in the menu as the previous poster said. One thing I have found, however, is that...

The shots are very interesting and have some pizzaz (particularly the last one in the theatre), but being and actor, director, and producer, I'd have to say they don't focus on the "product." In...

NONE of the buttons working simultaneously doesn't suggest a hardware problem. Sounds more software. I'd try a hard reset. And if that doesn't work, a conversation with Nikon customer service.

Nope, that little arrow isn't about bracketing; yup, that little arrow is telling you your picture is going to be black. It's your light meter in M. If it hasn't given you a problem in A you've...

The hidden message in cman548's reply is that good audio is as complicated as good video. Doing it on the cheap is pretty difficult (though the maxim that "a bad mic well placed is as good as a...

You've got a tough choice here. Personally, I think the 85mm will give your portraits with a little more "pop" to them (I own a 50mm and a 100mm and prefer working with the 100 if I have the space...
