Is this going to be the downturn of the f mount for Nikon, or is effort going to be made in development of f mount products ?
Should us dslr users start to make the transition to mirrorless?

I don’t believe this post will answer my questions though as I attempt to work this out in my mind through the next few months my hope is to formulate a plan.

 

 

We're planning on visiting Yellowstone and Glacier National Parks beginning about September 10. Any suggestions re where to stay, what to see, what to avoid?

 

 

For those of you who use lens balls, what size do you have. It looks like something that would be fun to try

 

 

Hi ladies and gents,
First post from a semi-experienced beginner, so please be gentle.😊

While shooting today, I realized that maybe I have been looking at apature settings wrong, in that I always used apature as a way to control the cameras ability to shoot in low/bright lighting situations, understanding depth of field is a function of this setting.

I do understand there are lighting situations where you must compomise, and may have to use a lower/higher f-stop to get the exposure right, while forgoing depth of field considerations.

I quess my question is, do most of you approach apature from a depth of field perspective FIRST, and then s. speed and ISO second, if possible, to provide proper exposure while in apature priority? ...

 

 

This may have been debated ad noseum here but I just watched a "so called" professional wildlife photographer extolling the virtues of his Canon 7D over his 5D explaining to all of us peons that his 7d, because it is a crop sensor, gives him more REACH.
Well I am a professional photographer and have been since the first slr's came out. I have yet to see a 200 mm or a 400 mm lens magically transform into a 320mm or a 640 mm lens.
You DO NOT get more reach. You merely get a smaller FOV (field of view) from a crop sensor using full frame, (based on old 35 mm film) lens. The frame or picture is effectively cropped. You do not get more magnification. It only appears closer because the picture has been cropped down in the sensor.

 

 

Someone made a comment a while back about having the camera set to BBF and trying to explain to someone else how to take a picture of you with your camera.... Right?

A recent question about BBF finally prompted me to check, as my wife would not understand the BBF/spot metering process if I gave her the camera.

SO. On MY camera, a Canon T1i, if I set the mode to the green rectangle (full auto) the focus reverts back to 1/2 shutter press for that mode.
Boy am I happy!
Now I can use the camera the way I want and hand it to someone to take a picture for me without having to explain a lot of stuff! Whoo-hoo!

If you use BBF, check your camera. Maybe it too reverts to a PHD camera when you need it to.

 

 

I recently upgraded from a Sony Nex 6 to an A7ii. I never had any issues with motion blur shooting the Nex 6 in Aperture Priority Mode with an adapted 50mm Leica Summicron-M, with or without the in-body flash. My son ordered a Godox speedlight for the A7ii, but since it would not arrive until today, I used an old Olympus FL-36 in manual mode at 1/8 power (bounced at 45 degrees) to shoot indoor Christmas photos. The pictures taken in Aperture Priority Mode were fine, unless someone was moving. Those shots were blurry. I thought the A7ii would be better than the Nex-6. Can someone please tell me what I did wrong? Thank you.

 

 

Seven years ago I bought a Canon SX20 "bridge" camera with a built in 560mm lens. With it, backyard bird pictures has become my favorite hobby.
(These made with SX20)

Last month I was given a Canon EOS Rebel 1000D with a 55mm lens. This camera has several advantages over the SX20. Focus is better, remote capable, etc. To continue my hobby with the 1000D I feel I need a 500mm lens.

I am now 82 years old on a fixed income. I can't afford a really nice telescopic lens for my "fun time". I am hoping I can find something for a lot less money, cosmetic damages is not important.

My problem, what is my best choice lens that fits the 1000D. There are lots of lenses online, however, I know little about what fits the 1000D. Do I need moun...

 

 

Remember Ektachrome?

As I recall, this slide film was recommended for underwater photography because it reduced the "blue" hues that are so prevalent underwater. The attached "guide" was included with each role of Ektachrome film and I thought it was quite helpful in setting up a manual film camera. Ah, the good-old-days!

I stumbled across this document recently while organizing my film cameras for sale on eBay and thought it may be of interest to some folks on UHH.

Hi & Happy New Year to all. I've been studying aspects of photography & my D7200 for 2 months, though not shooting much - too cold & and all my shots since going to Manual have been awful - so much to learn (& I get the idea of starting in Aperture Priority & I will use that when the situation dictates, but right now I want to get one good shot in manual - on purpose!!). So since I'm in study mode I wondered whether someone has done a guide / post on lenses that a novice could follow. I'm aware of the uses of some basic lenses types (fish eye, ultra wide angle, wide angle, medium, macro, telephoto / zooms, etc) & what a lens f-number means in terms of speed & DoF). I also get it that some zooms may not be super sharp at the extremes of ...

 

 

Hi everyone. I’m looking for suggestions on the best way to seriously start to catalog about 14,000 photos that I have been backing up by just transferring from my camera and cards to computers and hard drive over the years. I have adobe photoshop 11 on a iMac. After loading and reloading over the years I have a lot of folders with random numbers and letters. Some have been named but I still have folders with duplicates pics in them. I have to admit my laziness is obvious in my attempt to catalogue so please be “a little kind in your responses”. With that being said I look forward to suggestions for anyone.

 

 

wondering about pictures printed on metal or other type of surface materials vs framing a print. Seems frames cost more than a print.

 

 

I have a 16 year old grandson who is going to the Philippines this summer on a youth service project and he wants a camera to take. Last year he went to Gahana and I got him a pocket camera that he thought was not cool. When he got home it was permanently lost. His mother wants me to find a camera for him in the $250 range. I have always felt it not wise to stand out in a foreign country as a tourist so I like a pocket camera but I'm open to any ideas. Thanks in advance for an thoughts and advice

 

 

I have a fairly new Canon 5D MK iv. When I take a shot, the viewfinder shows a flashing "busy" in the lower left corner. If I try to take another shot, it doesn't respond until the "busy" goes away. It takes 2 or 3 seconds.
It did not do this when I first got the camera, and I have the same cards in it now that I first put in, so it isn't slow cards.
So, either I accidentally set something wrong, or the camera is broken. Does anyone have any thoughts as to what is going on?
Thanks

 

 

headed there on the 5th for a few days; weather reports show rain every day, for at least 10 days; anyone have experience shooting out there;
at this point I am committed to going ( although I still entertain thoughts of cancelling ), but, I am really depressed about the forecast

 

 

Hi my sister in law has a canon t4i or t5i , can any of you canon users tell me where she find information on how to set this up on her camera? i have a nikon d5200 and i downloaded steve perry book on the nikon auto focus system and it has alot of info about my camera but she is having no luck. thank you for any info that may help her

 

 

I put my Nikon d750 in a cheap case and carried it on a plane to our recent vacation. When I bent down to pick something up it slipped off my shoulder and hit the ground (total distance about 6 inches - not a big drop). Later when I tried to take a photo, the image was 2/3 covered with a black shape - rectangular with the corners blocked off. Every. Photo. Sadly, I put the camera away. I was hoping it was the lens (I had my basic nifty 50 on) but upon my return home, I swapped out the lens and had the same issue. Part of the image is visible and is in focus and exposed according to the settings I use but the blocked portion (about 2/3 of the photo) is still there. So it is the camera. Anyone have an idea of what's going on? I imagine I'm go...

 

 

My lens diameter is 62m and I want to connect it to a 72mm filter. Do I use a step up or a step down. It seems that either would work.
Step up to 72mm or step down to 62mm.

 

 

It was very quiet when I was shooting today. I noticed a low noise almost like a fan. It turned out it was coming from the 800mm. It only stopped when I either turned off VR on the lens or the camera shuts off. I just checked and it was the same with the 200 - 500 Nikkor.

Anyone else encounter this.

Hello, after figuring out my Canon's setting for wireless flash, I decided to ask you for help with any tips you can think of for someone like me, who is just strting it. I have Canon 77D, Canon Speedlite 430EX II RT, Canon St-E3-RT trigger and two Yongnuo 600RT Flashes. My hope is to create small studio using all three flashes. I also have two studio stands with black and silver umbrellas, as well small backdrop stand and 10 bnackdrops. Anything you thing I should know, it is welcomed. I know how to setup RT System either on one channel or 3 individual channels. ETTL, Strobe, Power decrese or increase. Thank you. Jack.
