What lens was that? On  the first image, with the Regus building, focus appears to be on the middle of that building. You are shooting at f/5.6, and because of depth of field, the cars in front ...

Every time you turn on the display, wether to look at images or at the histogram, it eats up the battery. Every time you use the flash, it eats up even more battery. In your case, you are doing ...

Just remember the "Sunny 16" rule, invented before digital and before light meters became common: With 100 ISO film, on a sunny day, expose at 100th and f:/16. With Kodachrome II, 25 ISO, expose at ...

The tiny screen on the back of the camera is no match for what you see on your computer monitor. By experimenting a lot, some might be able to set the camera so OOC (Out of camera) JPG will be to ...

The D300 is the successor to the D200. And the D500 is the successor to the D300. Those are considered the advanced DX line. The D80, D90, D7000, D7100, D7200 and D7500 are the consumer DX series. JC ...

I understand, but for the purpose of exploring a proper exposure, it would be nice to post and discuss some of your results. JC Some cameras, some lenses, some computers

Say, in your original post, you did mention you had a 50mm f/1.8. Have you tried it for those gymnasium explorations?

Aperture f/1.8

After the D300, and after the D400 no-show, most everybody was sure there would never be another top-of-the-line DX body from Nikon, and people started scattering to Sony, Pentax, Canon 7D, Fuji ...

Compared to other DX options from Nikon, the D200/D300/D500 have always had a hefty price ... JC Some cameras, some lenses, some computers

There is no miracles. The image at f/1.8 was dark because htere was not light at that aperture, f/4 is twice less light, f/5.6 is four times less light. This why back in 2007 I bit the bullet and ...

Hi, you already can see that the image if mcuh darker than your reference iPhone image :-) So this image is at 1/800th second, ISO 800, f/1.8. But exposure compensation is set at -1.33? Why? This ...

Shooting modes in the D200 mostly control wether you are getting one shot per shutter button press, or many shots. So far, yo have not even checked what you get with shooting mode S, so why not ...

iPhone tends to do a lot of in camera processing, and DOF is deep due to the sensor size. You may want to repeat the experiment with the D200. Start at ISO 100, f/1.8, 1/30th. JC Some cameras, some ...

You are talking indoor photography. What kind of light do you rely on? What have you tried so far? Just to get a feel of which direction you want to take, try photographing something right now, at ...

Not if you adjust register "a8 AF activation" properly. Register a8 can be set to:  "Shutter/AF-ON", in which case both the AF-ON button and the Shutter button will activate AF but only the Shutter ...

I am not a bird shooter, but from most reports I have looked at, best chances are using AF-ON (back button focus). Theory beeing with use AF-C and keep holding AF-ON button, the camera will keep ...

There is some subtle difference in the two Ryanairs images. Something is different, but what is it? Shutter speed? Aperture? ISO? Difficult to know because of the method ypu used to insert the image ...

There is a difference though between optical zoom and digital zoom. Assume you have a Coolpix 995 with 2048x1536. The optical zoom will use the full sensor resolution, no matter what zoom ratio ...
