I would not look towards the 18-105 for better IQ. I have the 17-55 and I am super happy with it. Perhaps over your budget. But razor sharp. I noticed a significant upgrade in quality when I...

This basically just looks like the first photo was a little bit overexposed.The red letters seem washed out. Some negative ev compensation might do the trick. Maybe permanent ev compensation, b5 in...

I agree with the others in this thread. Adjust the picture settings to get where you want. Otherwise get LR4. Correct one image and then sync it to all your images. Or even add a general correction...

Replying to the OP. Didn't want to read 4 pages of posts. I have the 17-55 on my D7000. It more or less equals the 24-70 on a FX sensor. Range wise. I don't miss VR in that range. I can easily...

Thanks again for the all the answers!! I really appreciate you taking the time to help me out.I know a lot about photography, I use LR, I shoot in RAW, I know about exposures, spot metering, matrix...

I guess manual setting with auto ISO could be a way to shoot these types of photos. I actually never print. Pictures pretty much only get sent around via email in my family. We more or less only...

Thanks a bunch to both of you. This has been driving me crazy, and I couldn't find anything in LR preferences.

Hi guysThanks for all the replies. I really appreciate it. I think a flash will be the next move. Or perhaps a D4 :-)I will install a demo version of Topaz Denoise today or tomorrow and see what it...

HiI see that LR3 automatically sets the black slider to 5, when I import picures. Is there anyway to disable this (and perhaps other) setting(s) when I import photos?

Im struggling a bit taking pictures inside with my D7000. Usually at my brothers house and mostly of his children. The problem I have is getting properly exposed images. To my eye the livingroom in...

I have the 17-55 on my D7000, I actually bought the 24-70 as well. But I wound up selling it. Indoors at 70mm I really missed the VR. Sometimes it was so dark shooting pictures of my family, that I...

I used a little ad-on called social fixer to remove my timeline. Had already been given timeline by fb. But managed to remove it with social fixer.

As others said - theres is no one for all correct settings.In your case I would recommend shooting in jpg fine. Adjust the picture settings - from your photos above I would suggest perhaps bump the...

Instead of upgrading to D800, I would maybe start putting some money towards better glas. I did this with my D7000 (17-55 2.8 and 70-200 VRII 2.8). WHAT A DIFFERENCE! The picture quality is just...

Like everybody else said: You have one or two settings wrong so that the camera doesn't get enough light.Here is an idea to see if you camera has a fault: Take a piture in auto mode with no flash...
