Hi Chuck!  Interested in your enthusiasm for the D7100 and concern for small buffer.  Read your reviews on fast cards.... I'm happy with the SDisk Extreme Pro in my D300s... And i shoot lax with...

Almost like a ghost town! Somedays you can hear yourself thinking out loud. No trolls or fanboys. No anguished waiters for the D400  or taunters of the self acclaimed DX pros.  Just plain folks....

Tommy,   ...appreciated your casting the net for me.... LOL... need some other contributors on the subject of fishing.... or the wild wild action sport of walking the beaches.  Hmmmm. Anyways, I...

Great pics Donald. Thanks.

Can't sit and shoot from one spot for lacrosse unless you are just looking for a couple of key action shots for the news. I run around with my 120-300 hand held and in a rainshield (essentially a...

Bizarre reasoning. You make a prediction  that would seem to follow from your theory (although hardly sufficient to prove the theory of calculated intent on the part of Nikon to deprive us of D400...

I'm sure there are plenty of folks here who can jump in with remarks and suggestions. As others have pointed out, it would help to know the situation you are trying to solve.... i.e. what you...

Yea!  That's fun shooting ....... and we enjoyed your pictures!

The original post concerned shooting in bright sunlight and dealing with shadows.  In such situations there would hardly be any adverse reaction to flash photography  since most  viewers would...

The fill lighting makes a wonderful difference on the woodpecker!  I have seen some sports photographers using that technique to produce better results as well, but rarely if ever for open field...

Very nice shots!  Do you take short bursts or rely on single frames?

Sounds like a plan!  Now get started... there is a great experience ahead of you with folks on this forum to help out.

For open field sports with highly unpredictable action I use AF-C release priority, center sensor on the body. I rarely can frame as I would like and have to crop in post.  I understand the issue...

- I agree with David's sense of "in-focus" and I would say that both of the players in blue are in focus. I certainly wouldn't count on getting multiple players in focus without cranking down the...

Good point Zooming.... was going to say same thing about cropping in post. Almost all sports situations can benefit from composing the scene in your mind before the action occurs, and that is a...

Not sure what you mean by "expose for the highlites".   Sports subjects vary so greatly from shot to shot that being very calculated doesn't work for me. You might not want to actually meter on the...

Robert Goulet singing...

Shoot in RAW rather than jpg and try to deal with it in post processing (advantage in RAW is that you have much more latitude than with a jpg .... but maybe still not enough). Try it if you haven't...

Renato,  Better leave the last of the stalwarts to fade away by themselves than to betray the cause and bring in the D7k + 100i group.  We would feel much better going out that way with our...

Artificial lighting can really play serious head games with you. I used to get shades of red and green on various parts of the ice surface when shooting hockey at the county arena, much more...
