aperture question

If you will invest in Bryan Peterson's "Understanding Exposure", you might discover a whole new world opened up to you. I was having the same problem as you and now I don't. You can download it from amazon for around $13.00 and it is the best reading investment I have made in a while. Good luck.

I took a photo of a Sanderling. Bright day, Aperture was 5.6, shutter speed 1/1000. Camera was on autofocus. Would the photo have been sharper if I had stopped down to f/8.0? General question is: can aperture improve the sharpness of a photo? This may sound stupid, but I have lapses. I know aperture determines DOF, but sometimes I wonder if it has an effect on sharpness of focus. Enclosing a photo. Thanks in advance.

Battery Grip for Nikon D800E

I did a lot of research when I bought my battery grip. Everything I read made me decide not to venture away from Nikon. My search indicated lots of problems with other brands.

Hmmm... Interesting. It's been so long now I don't even know the brand of the grip I bought, and I just looked at it and found no indication; but I'll keep that in mind. At the moment, I'm mostly trying to figure out why I've held on to the NFG grip. ("NFG" stands for "non-functioning group" of course.)

Your "Must Have Lenses"

I have a Nikon D7100. I have a 35 f1.8, 50 f1.8, 18-200 f3.5,105 f2.8G Macro and a 70-200 f2.8 II. I am expecting to add a Nikon 24-70 f2.8 and a Nikon 14-24 f2.8 to round things out. If I could only pick 3 I would choose the 14-24, 24-70 and the 70-200. Have fun.

I am an amateur, all around photographer, who sees images, not just landscapes or portraits, never dealt with macro, just great images, so I am assuming that many amateur photographers fit this description?? Excluding professionals who have certain needs for certain lenses, what four or five lenses do you recommend for amateurs like me? By the way, is the 70~200 2.8 one of these lenses? Thank you so much for your input.

Battery Grip for Nikon D800E

I bought a MB D-15 for my D7100. It came with 2 battery slides. One for AA and one for my standard Nikon battery. They both work great. I set my camera to use the battery in the grip first.

Thank you. I will have to download it.

That was my aaaha book. I refer to it often. One other book of his you might enjoy is 'Learning to See Creatively'. I have several of his books and they all read the same way.

Would you mind sharing what they are?

I downloaded mine from Amazon to my Kindle.

I agree, it is excellent. Unfortunately, I have not been able to find mine since we moved last year. I am sure as soon as I order another copy, it will appear.

I have learned a lot on UHH and I sincerely appreciate all the help. One person recommended the subject book by Bryan Peterson. Thank you very much because I found it to be outstanding and extremely helpful. If you are a newbie like me I highly suggest you invest in it. He is very clear and easy to understand. I am more excited by photography today than I was 8 months ago when I jumped into dslr. There is hope after all.

Techrific

I don't know about Australia but in the USA that would be a "gray market" deal. I suggest you visit an established photography store and see what they say about warranties.
