Hi
I have a nikon 5100 d and just started using a 50 1.8g lens so I could take pictures without a flash, but the pictures all have a yellow hue.
Any suggestions?
I have found that setting your color balance to daylight setting (5000-5500)Kelvin temp. will probably put you in the "ballpark" for normal daylight color balance. Incandecent is around 3500K and Flourescent can range because of both warmer and cooler bulbs.

Quick question. I do not normally have a password to get into my iPhone 4S. Recently I was in a situation that virtually required a password so the device could be protected. Now that I no longer need the password, I would like to eliminate the password, but I have not been able to figure out how to do it. Turning it off would also serve the same purpose, but can't do that either. Any help or direction would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
I had the same problem a week ago. It is probably part of the IOS 7.0.3 upgrade. I went to my local Apple store and they fixed it right in the doorway. I walked in, got fixed up and walked out without SPENDING A CENT.!!!

have no idea how these lens work.can they be used like a telephoto ?I would like to know if I purchased a mirror lens for my 4/3 dmc-5 what type of photos it would be used to shot.any suggestion will be helpful.
After I read this thread I got concerned that the "CAT" lens is getting a bad rap. I have owned a Nikon 500mm f8 CAT since the 1970's and have used it (on special) occasions. Yes, by use of the mirror in construction, it basically is a folded telephoto lens.
Also, it has a "fixed" aperture of of f8 and can be manually focused from 13ft./4m to infinity. By design, when used in areas with a lot of reflective lighting i.e., shiny objects, highlights and other sparkly things it it is noted in the pictures as "round" doughnut holes. Unfortunately, this is a flaw in the basic design.
One Hogger mentioned "no auto-focus". True, if auto-focus was added, the lens would be huge.
This afternoon, I took my CAT lens outside and took several grab shots with my D800 and D7000, with NO appreciable problems. It would be interesting to see how many Hogs are using a Major brand CAT lens compared to off brand (cheap) brands.
BTW, I would send pictures but I have an interface connection problem with pc and UHH.

You may want to look on eBay or on amazon books for a Kodak pocket Photoguide or their Professional Photoguide. They both have spin charts that you can line up with different light conditions and get the shutter speed/aperture that you want. Most of today's cameras have about as good of exposure meters as you can get. The matrix setting is great for most light conditions and if that does not work you can go to the spot meter. The center weighted is a holdover from film days. If your exposures are not right you can use the comp wheel to adjust more or less. You can see right away if the exposure is ok by just looking at the screen and then adjust. If you think the camera exposure meter is fooled take note and when you have the same conditions adjust for them. I have a gray card in my bag and meter off it if i can't geta good reading off the subject. Just My Not so Humble Opinion. - Dave

I forgot the Mercury, I still have one but the outside metal is very corroded. Since you name is Nikonut you must know that Nikon also made a half frame rangefinder?
A few years ago I was reading the history of the NIKON and if I remember (I think) theirs was a rangefinder model. As many HGGr's said about others doing the same, I think it's like "keeping up with the Jones".
My Mercury got lost when I went into the Air Force in March '51.

There were a few of them, Canon, the best known was the Olympus F.
Some of us HOGS that can remember back to the early 1950's might remember the MERCURY 35mm. It had a metal focal plane shutter that rotated thru the film plane. From my memory when using it, it sounded like a Ford Model T on the first crank-up. It used 35mm film, half frame in a portrait format.
I remember the Olympus Pen F. It was a smaller size physically than the other Olys of its time but half frame.

This looks like a MEYER lemon. They are a popular backyard tree. They are sweeter than others and most times have more seeds. Many people eat them as they would an orange. Nice picture.

I am editing, with PSP, some head shots that were not taken under the best of conditions. The location did not have the best of background conditions for what I want to use the photos for. Is there anywhere online that I can download photo's of studio type backdrops that I can use to replace the original background. Thanks in advance, really enjoy the forum.
If you have an iPhone/Pad, go into the Apple Store Apps and do a search of Wallpaper. There are wallpaper apps of every size, shape and topic you can think of. Most of them are free or cost $0.99 cents. I have about 20 apps and many are HD. Just find the right image and save it as a picture, then work with as you would any other background.

I use MetaBrowser. I have several others but I think this one is very good. I use it on my iPhone and iPads.

Thank you for this link. For those who haven't looked (yet), there is a new view here. Photography can really open up the mind. It did mine.

I have a client who wants me to create a photo collage with 30 images and I must admit that I have never made a collage, so this seems pretty daunting to me. I do have Elements 11 and I found that it will make photo collages...but with a limit of 8 photos.
I don't mind buying a special software package, or doing it online..I just need your help / recommendations on how to create a 30 photo collage!
I thank you for any suggestions on how to do this!!
I use various COLLAGE programs on my iPad/Phone/Pod's.
I just looked in the itunes store and there are about 1,013 apps on COLLAGE uses that range from free to a few bucks. I would recommend DIPTIC, FUZEL to name a few. Some of the apps have cameras, frames and text added, also.

You got it just about right. Always have the right lens for the job at hand lol
My reply to the "old lens" did not mean I use it on the D800, it is just part of the group of other lenses. I'm sure you will agree that the 28-300mm Nikkor would be a fitting lens.

Just for grins! How many do you own?
I take my hat off to you. You have a great looking array of lenses. You caused me to look over mine and I just counted 28. My latest and hopefully the "last" one I will get is the Nikkor 28-300. This is my new walkaround/drag-around lens that I will be using on my D800 and D7000. My first was in 1963 when I got my first Nikon FTN from Japan with a 50mm f1.4. I still have that and 2 "newer" old ones.
