Sunrise on Casco Bay this past summer. Looks like a nuclear blast. The atmosphere is like a lens and can introduce all sorts of distortion.
The 2nd shot is a little later

When a full frame DSLR camera 'shifts gears' into crop frame mode, how does the through the lens view finder show the reduced - cropped - field of view?
Thanks
Edit: I realize that the smaller image circle would show with the FF area vignetted.

On the D810, there are two ways it will appear in the view finder. A boxed outline showing the size of the image or the area outside the boxed area is greyed out to help visualize what you see.

Nikon D810, 24-70mm ISO 125, F22 at 59 seconds. I used a B+W ND filter (6 stops) to get this image.
Thanks for looking.

I really love this photo. It looks like a painting. Very nicely done.
I have a technical question. With the long exposure and high f/stop, on the D810, why not use ISO 64?

Yes. I believe that you should start out with an entry level camera to make sure it is something that you'll like. The entry cameras are cheap enough that you don't have to put out a lot of money to begin the exploration process. If you find that photography is your thing, then upgrading will help you appreciate the better build quality and function of a better camera. At least it worked that way for me. I started with the D3000, moved up to a D7100 and eventually purchased a D810. If I started with the D810, I would have been lost. But that's me.

Hi all, new to the group. Have a quick questions for you all. I am shopping for a new laptop and have heard pros and cons of both pc's and mac's for photo editing. I have been using lightroom for my photo editing and wondering if anyone has any strong thoughts either way..... which is easier/better for using lightroom. Thanks in advance.
Get a MAC and maximize the memory. The more memory, the better performance for editing large photo files. You can then install Fusion on it and run Windows at the same time. This will give you the best of both worlds. I've been running MAC OS and Windows 10 with very good results.

I'm thinking about buying a like new camera from mpb.com. Comments?
Both are good cameras. The D810 has the pixel density to do some serious cropping without losing detail. It all depends on what you want to do.

Okay, all you square-format shooters ... this, clearly, isn't one for you ... so, you can skip it ... unless, you have some really positive remark!
I haven't gone through the posts to read all the replies, so excuse me if I'm repeating what has been said.
It all depends on what I'm shooting, but I typically do landscape. It looks much better on my 16:9 tv screen when I'm displaying the photos. Having said that, I would use portrait depending on the composition. For instance, most wildlife shots are landscape. But there are shots I take in portrait position if I have something tall or thin that I want in the photo. Almost all head shots are portrait. But if it is a group of people, typically landscape works better to get everyone in the photo.
that's my 2 cents....

Has anyone dealt with Roberts in Indiana?
I went on the net and they seem to have a decent reputation. However, I value your input and appreciate if you'd share your experience with me.

Roberts is about 4 miles from my house. Very good shop and knowledgable folks. They have a great reputation.

A hood on the lens would help reduce the sun glare. Most photo software can remove the glare as has been demonstrated.

Don't see many photos with watermarks on them on this site. It's distracting. I understand the reasoning....
