Is any of this kit worth anything to anybody? Camera/meter and 55mm Rokkor-PF are from about 1965. Other lens are from a later date, but I don't remember when they were bought. Or should I just donate everything to charity. The marks you see on camera back and lens barrel is where I Dremeled off my ID number that was put on about 30 years ago. Any offers?

This is going to be my method. 3 hours of stop action movie, not pointing at the sun, pointing to the horizon and the sky. I'm interested in the light change. I'll be using the built in setting of the D750. One shot every 5 seconds makes a movie about 1 minute 7 seconds long. I'll watch the coverage on TV while the Nikon takes the pictures outside in the heat

Jules, you need to get an excellent understanding of light, color, composition, post processing (compositing, HDR, color handling, focus stacking, layer blending, frequency separation, cloning, etc, etc, etc) before you consider going down this path. Your 18-140 will give you the width you need, and if not, you can generally do a stitched pano to get wider.

First image - horrible keystoning. poor control over light, not sure what you are wanting a prospective buyer to look at that says "buy me."

Second image - wrong time of day, too much contrast, the hour after sunrise and the hour before sunset would avoid your blown out sky and concrete driveway. Don't need to show the side of the house, it is unattractive. Slight keystoning here is ok, but I would have corrected it.

Third image - window totally blown out, keystoning, barrel distortion correctable in Lightroom, Photoshop PT Lens with the proper lens profile. Doesn't really show the room to it's best advantage.

In smaller rooms you will need to use a wider lens, but carefully, to avoid keystoning, volume anamorphosis, severe extension distortion. Or you can use a longer lens, but you'd have to start being concerned with having adequate depth of field, so you'll have to learn how to do focus stacking. A tripod with a bowl platform (often used in video) and a level will be indispensable.

Take a look at this guy's portfolio. I mentored him a few years ago and his work is really excellent now. You probably don't have the clientele, especially if you are doing MLS RE Agents, but you can certainly learn from his approach.

FYI, he was a Canon 5d Mk III shooter until he found he needed a 14-24mm, at which point he bought a Nikon D800. A comparably wide lens on your camera would be an 8-16mm or a 10-20mm. I think the 12-24 or the 14-24 may not be wide enough for those difficult, tight spaces. But if you understand it and use it appropriately it should be your least used lens.
Jules, you need to get an excellent understanding ... (show quote)

WOW! What a difference from before and after shots. Thank you for sharing the link.

I love shooting airshows, probably my favorite aside from street.


Thank you for posting , is it ok if I save one of your shots on my pc, I would like to keep it for the settings you used. My shots, from the 2017 WWii weekend in Reading, PA, don't show any prop blur. From what I read on this site the props are supposed to show some blur, who knew?!

I use sling strap from Indigo Marble, makes carrying my Nikon D750 with 28-300 lens much easier.

What's the best format to use when emailing multiple pictures to someone? If I use a jpeg format I can only do Two at the most in a single email. If I use a RAW format, I have to use something like One Drive which takes forever to upload to send. I don't want to send so many emails it feels like they are getting spammed. The latest round I'm referring to is sending pictures of our house to our landlord.


use google photos, send link to those you want to share with. upload the photos while you sleep.
