My audience is not DPR members. The only images in my gallery are those entered in challenges and those used to illustrate a specific point. My web site is in my profile, others add them to their ...

I'm not sure whether you're referring to the same lens. The non-macro version of this lens is quite expensive, but would be massively better than your 55-200. Just not sure whether you're looking ...

... give her a gift card, tell her what it's for, take her to the store, and be patient while she tries every model in her price range. I don't think I would have appreciated someone picking out my ...

I don't use DX for portraits any more, so here's one from when I was...  I'm still trying hard to tame the light with mixed success, but this is from when I really had no idea how to do it. This is ...

Sounds like internal damage to me. I would return it.

I have a D7100 and D610 and I find that while noise levels are similar, the D610 holds more detail. This is most noticeable when post processing shots from low light, but holds true even in good ...

I bought into Nikon for different reasons, but the layout of the three DSLR's I've owned has remained fairly constant, with only minor (annoying) differences. In operation, the general handling is ...

It didn't really work out for me.  Someone here suggested AF-S and AF-ON with "relatively" stationery subjects, and I find that works best for me.  My relatively stationery subjects are mostly ...

Doubt it's a hindrance in the real world for your application, but the XT2 is APSC, not 35mm.

Don't iPeople just think what Apple tell them to?

Yes, I do it manually before I go out with two cameras. I don't sync them with a computer, I just sync one to the other while I'm waiting for the start of a show. Yes and yes. I use an Op/Tech dual ...

Apple holds all the cards.  It is so huge with so many resources, it's not a surprise that it can leapfrog what competitive industries are doing. It's funny to see how much they plow into some ...

What kinds of animals?

Not always, but sometimes. Scenic - normally only carry a DX body with three lenses. Concert - normally carry DX and FX bodies with two lenses.  Use them pretty much equally. Portrait - normally ...

Yes, I think I knew it too.  It just irked me to have such a restrictive policy.  They are the same lenses, coming out of the same factory afterall.  They just put a different sticker on them, and ...

I consider myself a fairly heavy shooter (typically 1000-1500 shots at a three hour concert) and I've never hit the buffer barrier with either my D7100 or my D610. I might have hit it once or twice ...

Like everyone else says, it's up to your own tastes. If you wanted to, you could lighten the mood of the scene a little by upping the vibrance a touch to compensate for the clarity slider ...

I delete the complete unusable (black frames, white frames, completely blurry, accidental shutter presses), but anything that is even remotely okay, I keep.  I do concerts where I take a lot of ...

... when my iPhone 4 dies again. I think its out of warranty now.

It took a village to get me my Tamron 15-30mm f/2.8. I initially purchased this lens directly from Amazon.ca, a known authorized retailer for Tamron. Sadly, what arrived was a US model which I had ...
