Hello, Jeremy, and welcome! You have a nice bunch of gear there.  I'm impressed, as I'm sure others are, in how much you managed to get for $800.  Good going. The equipment you have is capable of ...

I'd say that pretty well sums it up. --------------- Tom B

Oh, niiiiiice!  You've made a bit of magic here.  It deserves to be printed very large. --------------- Tom B

Lovely shots!  Crystal clear, razor sharp, good contrast, great color balance and shadow balance.  The basics are all in place.  But what makes them great to look at is your artistic point of ...

I like that.  It's fun! I like how each of the three people are looking in different directions, while being in line.  That works to my eye. But the color cast is very strong, for me a big ...

It's a very attractive shot. You did a good job. I think your framing is fine as it is, given the nature of the scene. For those who don't know, this "frame" or view is kind of all you get at ...

Yes, wait. For sure! The next big photo gear announcements will be at Photokina, the major industry show, in September. Rumors abound that all sorts of new cameras and other gear will be announced. ...

You've made a pleasing image overall, with the woman peacefully contemplating this beautiful landscape, while gently setting it onto canvas.  It's calming, reassuring, and a break from the daily ...

Beautiful images! I love them. It must have been a real blast being there, waking up to that scene. Wow!  I'm envious, both of your trip, and your gorgeous scenes. And I love your post processing. ...

Impressive shots!  Clean, detailed, very good DR evident.  In the noodles shot, good bokeh with a pleasing falloff.  In the urban shot, there was terrific depth of field and sharpness. I love the ...

I'll second the Nikkor 24-70 2.8.  I used that lens for thousands of pictures on my D200, and now for several thousand on my D750.  The images have all the features you're asking for, on both cameras.

I don't have the time to spend watching a rehash of this tired topic. But I was struck by one thing:   Just LOOK at those guys!  I mean!  You'd never hire any of them as models, that's for sure.  I ...

Good decision!  Used skillfully, that gear can make world class images.  Congratulations on your new camera!  It was a great choice. Here's a suggestion:  Before you buy any more gear, wait till ...

Save 'em all!   Except mistakes. I delete my obvious mistakes, like totally out of focus, totally blown, totally shaken etc. That's usually about 2-3 percent of a vacation shoot, a lot less in a ...

The 355 on APS-C It will indeed show the same barrel distortion as a 50mm FF lens.  Some people like that focal length for portraits.  I do not. Almost anyone I shoot wants to appear lean and ...

This has happened to me, and I used a tip I picked up somewhere: Get two sports/benefit wrist bands, the colored rubbery ones you put around your wrist that you see almost everywhere. You can get ...

Yes, back up the RAW.  That's the full resolution, full data set.  The other file formats are already processed data.  If you keep the RAW, you'll always be able to start again with digital ...

Right, what is "reading mode?" PS, I'm keeping the site dark.  Works much better for me. --------------- Tom B

This is an important topic.  Your post is informative, the pre-shoot agreement.  I wonder if you'd share with us a blank form or boilerplate of the kind of agreement that you use and have people ...
