I can't see what I am doing incorrectly.

I created a new topic under the folder 'Picture Gallery' and selected the photograph I wanted to display. Entered a line of text to explain.

But when I came to sending it, along with the photograph, nothing happened. I waited for a good twenty minutes but nothing.

The photograph selected was a Nikon file nnnn.NEF

Yours frustratingly!


Maybe instead of trying to uplift it you should try to upload it.

I just bought a Nikon AF-S 80-400 f4.5-5.6 ED VR lens to replace my original 80-400 AF-D bought in 2000. I use a Nikon D810. I now have a total of three fast Nikon AF-S lenses and a fast 1.4 85mm that is AF-I. I frequently change the aperture/shutter speed combination selected by the software (displayed in the viewfinder) by rotating the command dial on the top right of the camera back in order to get a different combination of aperture and shutter speed. The viewfinder display instantly shows a different correct combination of aperture and shutter speed. All three of my older lenses permit this operation but the new Nikon 80-400 does not. With the lens mounted on the camera and focused on a subject, turning the main command dial does nothing. Any ideas?

We had a small one light studio set up at our last meeting. I recommended a young lady I had worked with once before. I spent most of my time getting props, bits of fabric, and setting up the posing. I shot 7 frames and here are three of them. I spent little time in PP other than removing a couple blemishes on her forehead.


Is it my aging eyes or are these shots a tiny bit out of focus?

You’ve all heard the saying that “the best camera to have is the one that you have at the time”. Even if said camera is the one with your cell phone. Having said that:

I, too, have seen, and have taken, photographs with my iPhone 7 that are difficult for the average person to tell that it was by the cell phone camera and not the DSLR. Of course, I have NOT tired enlarging any images to 8x10 or larger, so I really don’t know how well they would do. But, for the most part, for viewing on the computer, e-mailing or posing on “social media”, the cell phones do a decent job.

With my iPhone 7, I’ve made videos, both during the daytime AND at night, that rival or even surpass those made with my Nikon D7100. Now, there’s a good chance that I don’t have the settings on the D7100 correctly set up for doing video, but the iPhone just “does it” and it’s always a good result.

If you've made images with your iPhone that are superior to images you make with a D7100 then you either need to work on your technique with the DSLR or get yourself some better glass.

Repealed in 1990?? Modified??

The Act was not repealed in 1990, nor at any time since. It was AMENDED 1990 by provisions that merely changed its quotas and procedures.

No, it is not. You are absolutely right.

Alas, that’s a problem with living in a world wide forum. Colloquial, regional, and cultural usages vary. People who seem to be making mistakes are just speaking and writing what they grew up with. It’s correct FOR THEM in their native environments.

I learned “proper” American English from Harbrace 6th Edition Handbook. My wife learned from 7th. We quibble over language often, but heck, they’re up to version 13 now.

As long as I can understand it, I don’t care.

Well, I can't understand it.

Almost the wrong question today here. We are more at discussing DSLR vs MILC quality? For convenience I sometimes use my Samsung Galaxy Note8, but not for quality. I'll leave you with that.


"We are more at discussing DSLR vs MILC quality?" I do not know what this (interrogative) sentence means. I have graduate degrees in English and law and have accepted that younger people are less skilled at English usage, but this sentence completely baffles me. Many people on this forum obviously skip reviewing what they've written before they post it, but I have a hunch that this one would've posted this exactly as it appears.

It is very possible that you could do very well with your Sony but why not take something like the MFT with lenses for a trip that could easily be the trip of a lifetime. I say the same about the full frame.
You seem to be learning your new Sony camera and that is not the way to travel with a new camera. You know your MFT and your full frame cameras better so shooting should be much easier with something you already know.
If I were traveling to Iceland for sure I would take one of my cameras with interchangeable lenses along with my tripod. You could regret not doing so.

I have been to Iceland three times to fish for Atlantic Salmon. Each time was a trip of a lifetime, even the time I caught no fish. Whatever you decide about the camera, be sure to take a lot of money. A whole lot.

I have been looking at older 28-70 F2.8 lenses on eBay. Quite a few of them are being sold As-Is due to non functional AF. Plus many also describe “squeaky “ AF which is indicative of soon to fail AF. This lens was the precursor of the 24-70 F2.8 in Nikons “Holy Trinity” and as such was one of the high end lenses. Most on here seem to be using consumer or entry level lenses though and quite a few of them on eBay seem to be “as-is”. Not like the older manual focus lines, many of which are still delivering.

One of my four lenses is exactly that 28-70 f2.8 AF-S. Pros used to call this lens "the beast." It's big and heavy, built like a Sherman tank, but has superb optics and has never yet failed.

With more electronics, more to fail


I have used four different Nikon high-end lenses since 1999-2000; in all this time I have had only one problem, Nikon fixed for $525 (autofocus on 80-200 2.8 stopped working). I don't know whether Canon lenses have as good a record, but, in any event, I don't think that reliability is much of an issue with pro lenses.

A friend asked if I could photograph some fireworks. I have my Canon 5D MarkIV, a 24mm wide angle and a 28-135 prime zoom lens. The dial set to "B" for Bulb. I have a good shutter range, f/stop choices and phenomenal ISO choices. I have a great tripod and will be weighing it down with my bag. I have my folding chair all dusted off. I will be shooting at Fort Hamilton in Brooklyn. I have two questions. What is an intervalometer?
Do I need it?


A 28-135 isn't a prime lens. I think it's called a short telephoto zoom. Maybe not short.
