Who was the photographer that was famous for his "decisive moment" approach to shooting? This is an excellent example. I really like this place. The areas allotted to each small pack are large ...

To anyone who has been to the park recently (I.e., in January): Does Is Lake Manley have water? We've had recurring rains, some of them meaningful amounts (I live in Las Vegas), and I suspect ...

StuartAtk, something that isn't clear in your original post:  Are you looking for a "wildlife camera" IN ADDITION TO your D750? Or are you looking for a general purpose camera TO REPLACE your D750 ...

Very nice shot. Who knew Gandalf was taking the bus these days?

Overall, I aim for the most realistic images I can achieve. I subscribe to the Ansel Adams approach. He realized that the human eye can perceive a wider range of brightness than can be recorded by ...

The f4 70-200 would be better for indoor volleyball, and combined with the crop sensor, pretty good for outdoors. Noise from the higher ISO indoors and sharpness in both settings could be nicely ...

I certainly didn't intend to disrupt this thread - it's a good topic and I'd like to see what people hope to be doing this year. I am 75 and have been retired for 10+ years so far. I planned ...

When I saw this thread in the Landscape and Travel menu, my first thought was to post about my fantasy trip. Then I read your post and found that awful word "realistically." Well, that ruined ...

Coffee table books. I have used blurb.com to design and print their 11x13 inch books in landscape orientation. I started in 2007 and have 12 of them so far (with 2 -3 more in process). I also have ...

In addition to food storage containers, I suggest you also look into office supply stores. The ones around here sell a lot of different size and shape containers with lids, and most appear to be ...

What might make this 200k shutter count a non-issue? A new shutter. KEH has a D600 in EX+ condition for $469 - I would regard the 200k body with a new shutter to also be EX+. So what does a new ...

Since you are looking for longer reach while coping with ISO-related noise, moving from the D500 to a D850 is not the solution. Were I in your situation with your hardware, my short term remedy ...

The first one is good, but that second one is really good - that would be a wallhanger in my house.

Excellent photos of a lovely place. I especially like #4, but it needs a small straightening (I doubt the entire town is leaning slightly to the left).

Before you invest in the TC, I suggest you try a free and easy test. Pick a subject with enough detail to allow you to judge image sharpness. Set yourself up at a distance from the subject where ...

First, spots on the sensor will not cause focus problems. Second, have you done a two button reset? It's described in the user manual. If you don't have one, you can download it here: https://downl ...

I have found Topaz Sharpen AI to be a decent diagnostic tool. I've owned my lenses long enough to have test and field experience that tells me how sharp they are. But I am nagged by focus accuracy ...

Excellent set of photos, with good stories to go with them. And if that family shot was mine, it would be a large print hanging in my home. I hope it has such a place in yours.

Las Vegas is a very good choice to fly into because of the large number of flights it gets. Plus there's a great abundance of hotel rooms for arrival and departure days I add my recommendation for ...
