Congrats! I really hope you enjoy your new toys.

These two shots are single RAW files with shadows pushed and highlights pulled. I get the same thing as you, but I didn't try very hard to get rid of it. I don't really know why it happens.

I understand where you're coming from, because I'd be tempted to do the same, also owning two full-frame and one DX body. :D That being said, I carry around two cameras when I'm shooting ...

Good to hear your positive first impressions! B&H said that mine will be shipping either tomorrow or after tomorrow. Can't wait to have it in my hands. I've been waiting since beginning of May, I ...

As was mentioned earlier, sometimes initial focus acquisition of a subject that comes out of nowhere, can be slower than you'd want. Once locked on, the lens tracks really well however. Max ...

Anytime I see people asking about safari, those who have been always say to pack one wider lens and a longer telephoto. I'd put the Tamron 150-600mm on your D500 for maximum reach, and put ...

No problem! I went to Sammy's Camera. I called to see if they had the lenses I wanted to look at in stock, and they allowed me to switch back and forth until I made a decision. It may mostly be a ...

Very nice colors and composition! They all look pretty sharp. Just one question,...  Why were you using f/7.1? Why not keep it wide open at f/5.6? With the D500 you should have plenty of DOF, and ...

If you're set on continuing to use Tamron, I'd sell the G1 and put the money towards the G2. But that's just me with my gear acquisition syndrome. :D As you already know,..... loved the article. So ...

I highly recommend you go to your local photography store and try both lenses side by side on the camera you plan to use them with. That's what I did when I was trying to decide between the new ...

Full frame cameras like the Nikon D750, D810, D4/s, and D5 are better wedding photography options than the D500. Although arguably you can clean up the D500 images to a more than acceptable level, ...

Thank you! Terns are tough to shoot. They're so fast and hard to predict. It took a lot of practice. The photos I posted earlier were my first time shooting terns with the D500 and 200-500mm. I ...

Thank you! :)

As a serial pixel peeper, I love the Nikon 200-500mm f/5.6E ED VR. I understand it seems too good to be true for under $1,500.00, but it truly delivers. It is pin sharp at 500mm even at f/5.6. I ...

I had a look at your original RAW file in both Capture NX-D and Lightroom CC. It looks to me that the dark area under the sun is part of the original untouched RAW file. It is present in both ...

Can you send me the RAW file? I can try to play with it and see if I can solve your problem. I'll PM you my e-mail address.

I'm very happy it worked out for you! :) I also export some images as 16bit TIFFs, but not as often as I used to. Now I use them only when I need to create multiple shot HDRs or Panoramas. Other ...

No problem! I use highlight-weighed metering 95% of the time. Most people coming from the D300 and D7100 haven't worked with highlight-weighed metering before, so many of them probably didn't know ...

The D500 files require more noise reduction than the D750 files do. The D500 also tends to overexpose while using Auto ISO sometimes, even in highlight-weighed metering mode. It ends up using a ...

I use NX-D for all my RAW processing. The only thing I don't use it for is panorama stitching or multiple shot HDR, because NX-D doesn't have those features. That's when I use Lightroom CC, or ...
