I'm not a Nikon shooter and never heard of that for any camera/flash system.
Here's a guess only, it might have something to do with a possible voltage spike hitting the camera circuit.
When I did use a Nikon, I seem to remember turning the flash on and off any time I felt like it, just like you did.

Leaving for Belize for 2 weeks Jan 4. Staying around Belmopan for a week, then to Placencia Peninsula. Suggested photo ops, ruin tours, cave tours and anything else that might be helpful.
Much appreciated.
Much appreciated.
My good friend was born and raised in Belize. He now lives in Michigan a few miles from my house. He used to be with the Belizean Tourest Council, (still might be???).
He keeps telling me about all the wild life and birds, birds, birds!
Plascencia is traditional Creole fishing village and known for sandy beaches, food, and art galleries. You can find boat trips for the Monkey River too.
What are you basically looking for?
*(Most just call it Belmopan but Belmopan City is the correct name if it matters.)

We are talking permanently connecting two pieces of inexpensive foam core.
Yuck!
I read it fast and thought it was on the aluminum pole.

Amen! 50 years ago I bought a sail boat that had the halyards taped to the tapered aluminum mast with duct tape. I never got the residue off. Never!
That stuff got cooked on with the help of the sun. LoL
It will come off but it takes a lot of scraping, sanding, and elbow grease. (Been there, done that!)

I've worked as a Jack of All trades for many years and while there many suitable uses for duct tape i agree that the adhesive can be problematic at times. If thats all you have, one simple trick is to press it against your pant leg or other cloth before applying it to something valuable. It wil usually come off very cleanly and wont make anyone mad. Be aware that it might not hold as well then but it will do in a pinch
Being you referenced my post I think you mixed my post with duct tape. Painters tape is definatly not duct tape.
"Duck Tape" is just a brand name used for home air Ducts although since it was first used for other things, it is now marketed with several adhesive strengths for other uses and that was not the original reason, as noted above.
Painters tape is just as it says, tape used by painters that want to prevent paint from getting on something. It is weak enough to not mess up or pull off paint underneath.
It won't pull paint off unless that paint is about to fall off in the first place. LoL

My son is interested in getting digital camera binoculars for travel. The only comments I have found on this site are several years old. I would be interested if anyone has first hand knowledge of the the current offerings, good or bad. Thanks in advance. Bill
Why not just get one of the telephoto attachments for his cellphone? The end result is just about the same.

I personally have not upgraded to it yet but several have talked about Capture 1 ver. 20 as having the best noise reduction in the world.

Is Gaff Tape interchangeable with duct tape? I am thinking of joining foam core board to make ‘ V-Flats’
If you just want to get the job done, use painters tape which is found all over the place.
Both gaffes tape and painters tape do not leave residue.
Just remember to call it gaffers tape or someone might not consider you a true photographer. LoL

Yes I know dslr's and video cameras can use both round or rectangular lens shades but why are round type basically found on DSLR and rectangular basically found on video cameras?

Please explain how exactly you read flash output from your DSLR metering. You say it can’t read in real-time, but a flash output IS a real-time event.
With lighting that basically doesn't change quickly, everyone can read flash on a dslr.
All you need to do is take a photo, then chimp and make adjustments, then another shot and more chimping more adjustments, then another. If you're lucky good for you, otherwise more chimping etc.
Why not use a light meter once or twice and be done with it?
If you're good and want to repeat it at a later time, get a meter or start fresh each time.
As for "ambient" lighting, I just completed an outdoor family portrait session, (no flashes used), the other day. Took one light meter reading, (Sekonic 478), and was good for a long time.

I'm Happy with slr's with one exception.
Doing freelance work means not disturbing people every-so-often. Mirrorless is totally quiet.
I rest my case.

Ok, I’m heading to Yellowstone this winter and was wondering how to keep the camera and lens from fogging up when I’m in and out of a warm car? I know I should keep as much of a constant temperature as possible. I’m sure my husband will not appreciate the idea of no heat in the car... it is quite cold in Yellowstone.. so do you like wrap it up in a blanket before getting back in or what? We have a Jeep so no trunk.. Thanks for any suggestions!

This makes me wonder about thieves!
Who's to say a thief gets a temporary secure website, copies valid vendor's items, modified the low price, then redirects the payments, then quickly collects all the income?
They would be gone before anyone realised it was a scam.
Just thinking.

It happens both ways, (money talks).
Try going to many sports venues or concerts with a "professional camera", whatever that is nowdays. They often refuse to let you bring them in saying they are a safety hazard to other people. ???
At the same venues it's perfactly fine to bring in a huge pair of binoculars. Even ones with built in cameras.
