On those occasions, when there is a big group posing, I also take at least 3 shots, separated in time by about 1-2 seconds, (and tell them that I will, so they won't move) but then, after picking...

A) SLR days: ONE. B) DSLR days: Two (each exposure-bracketed, so total is 6) C) Phonecam days: Three Reasons: A) film was expensive, pocket was small B) Insurance, in case the auto-thingies in the...

... None of this motordrive mentality, taking loads, bracketting and so forth. All points to lack of technical expertise. There - that should stir up the hornets! Buzz, buzz, :-D I have also been...

In answer to the OP, yes, I have several Nikkor lenses which have the DOF indicator, and have used the feature especially when I must pre-focus within a certain range of distances. Very useful. But...

You wax very eloquently on the subject, DM. I'm glad my little clip gave you the opportunity to launch forth your views and beliefs. I'm sure you enjoyed writing them. Enjoyed it! RUcrAZ

I don't often post here, thus I do not know if it is appropriate - if not, sorry! Not having a star-tracking system, all I could do was to take shots of the sky as the earth rotated. But lots of...

Hoho, thank you, I enjoyed your humorous post. For me, I'd just as soon prefer that the surgeons who must work on my (body part somewhere)  have had at least a modicum of training - and advice! :-D

Too bad this review, while useful, does not compare the cam with....its competitors. Yes, we know it "takes photos," yes, we know it gets grainy at hi-ISO, but...what about a comparison? For...

I agree with you. The more care, the more chance you have of doing a significant crop with adequate quality. It does not change the fundamental fact, however, than on an equal basis, the more...

Been to Disney World in May. No-place to sit, hardly (serious lack of benches, etc.) Since you asked: Advice: (From Godfather): Leave the second cam. Take the widest angle lens/cam combo. (You can...

I just looked at this and there's a whole bunch of posts under that OP's name. Will the real Alotchka Emiliana please stand up?

But if you must: For "protection only" obviously it is a Filter. (I have a perfectly good Digital video-camcorder with a tiny chip, right in the middle of its lens, i.e, the most protruding part....

Oops, I can't follow decimal points any more! (back to slide rules!) The crop shown is only equivalent to a 1 Megapixel camera (For the 16 megapixel D5100) and a 1.44 Megapixel camera (for a 24...

Here is the issue - as I see it. Shot this yesterday with a Nikon D5100, a Nikon 16-85mm "zoom lens" ( a lens capable of changing its effective focal length over a certain range ) at 85mm. The...

Thank you, Russ, for taking the time and explaining (extremely well) the concept behind image stacking and its relation to astro-photography. As you pointed out, there are bad days (or rather,...

Many thanks, narenek, you provided me with precisely the information I needed, to give me a good start, and also explained something that I did not know before: That the program excludes photos (or...

Hello, I'm a newcomer to the concept of image stacking. Downloaded the (latest?) Registax v6.1.08 and shot 24 still .jpg photos, night, the lights across 5 miles of sea. Two second exposures on...

How about upgrading the car? It looks like it will only go up to 160mph. Of course, that photo would more impressive if it was in "D" and the speedo was at least 140. Just kidding.....you never...

How do you-all get such great shots? I have tried, using a Nikon D5100 with a Vivitar 2X telextender behind a Nikkor 200mm f4, careful shooting on a tripod, etc. but this is the best I've done so...

Sorry, but on my monitor there is no portion of the pic that is looks sharp. These lenses (I have a 40-yr old Nikkor 50mm f1.4) are very sharp. Hand held. Manual everything Nikkor 50mm f1.4 on a...
