Nikon Experts (Page 2): And we all know where THAT leads to!

But there are those among us that feel insecure in their own choices, so to boost their own egos and reassure themselves, they attack other brands, hoping that reinforcement from comrades will validate their choices.

Leitz gave you the link to where you should post your image for analysis.

You gave little detail, but that does happen sometimes during sharpening.

This is an example of how too many sections can work against the group. I never look at the Analysis section, but I'd be interested in what caused the white line.

I believe this can occur with any digital camera, and is not brand specific.

To restore a Nikon D750 to its factory settings, hold two green buttons (ISO button and +/- Exposure Compensation button) simultaneously, until the control panel turns off briefly while the camera resets itself to the factory default settings.

How did you get those arrows?

Two reasons for having that white border around the edge of the rock, over sharpening or a reflection of the sun over the edge of the subject which is not unusual with backlighted photography.
It has happened to me with many of my backlights and others believed that I oversharpened the file.

I have never owned a Nikon so, I can't say anything negative about that brand. My comment was a joke and I think it hilarious that people get so defensive over such trivial comments - as if I attacked your mother.

Think about it... I realize you don't know me but, does it make sense that if I were anti-Nikon, would I try to help someone who had a problem with theirs?

Well, according to the shooter, it's not the sun. Lots of clouds that day.

Here's a challenge to all the Nikon experts out there.

The attached photo is a crop of an image where the sun was way off to the left so not really in play to cause this issue. These rock formations have a white line along the edge that borders with the sky. After closer examination, we found the entire edge of light to dark had this white line.

Nikon D750.

Anyone know why this happens?

It's a natural phenomenon. You are shooting at a shadow with the bright light on the other side. You can also create these halos with sharpening or other post processing tools. You can remove the halos with Photoshop using the clone stamp tool set to darken. You can find many tutorials online that that teach you how. The term to use is halos. No, this can not be corrected in Lightroom .... another reason why you should learn PS.

It is never a joke...and if you been in these forums you can witness some horrific battles over the subject. Let me tell you why..... many have invested tens of thousands of dollars in their cameras and lenses.

The suggestion that they made a mistake is as offensive as one can get. We are not even even considering the time one has invested in acquiring or using the equipment.

Then you consider that there is no best camera or lens. If there is , it is only for a moment to be displaced by another brand and then another. The real difference isn't the gear at all. It is the photographer. The real distinguishing feature is never the camera but the print and it is all about composition and light. Anyone who suggests differently is simply ignorant and a troll.

BTW, there is nothing wrong with the 750. Re-setting to factory defaults or making any other changes is unnecessary and likely harmful.

You have a serious problem dude!
No one can "joke" about your precious camera brand but it's OK for you to call people ignorant and trolls?

A more mature way of dealing with comments you don't like would be to simply ignore and move on.

No one bashed your precious camera brand. Grow up! Get a life.

My best guess would be sharpening. This generally occurs, at least to this extent, when an image is over sharpened. Sharpening generally is an algorithmic process which increases contrast along edges. The boundary number of pixels involved is usually controlled by the level of sharpness one attempts. Thus, trying to increase sharpness will produce unwanted halos.

Grow up yourself grandpa. You don't like the message, like I care. The forums are filled with dolts like yourself. Read the other posts. They too took exception to the comment. Likely IT IS YOU who has a problem. AND if you have been here long enough you will have noted the rage for brands and those who just troll the rage. As WC Fields used to say, "go away sonny, you bother me" .. or not ... I don't care...

BTW, you're not a photographer either. Your posted images need lots of work and new gear isn't the answer, a complete misunderstanding of light, composition and post processing. Why are you here? Maybe you should just listen and learn or not..

Hahahahaha! We are really grown up, aren't we?

You might call yourself a photographer but, it's clear your primary function/hobby is bitch'n over things that do not matter. Got your panties in a wad, didn't we?

Now that you've hurt my feelings so terribly... my father is stronger than your father! nah, nah, nah!

Sometimes the chromatic aberration created by the lens can cause a slight outline like that at high contrast transitions but it usually has a purplish or greenish color and it's not that wide.

Is this occurring with all of your lenses or only one?

like I care coming from a nondescript. You have no idea and your photography postings reflect exactly that and your questions even less.
