New Nikon lens?

02 March 2019 - 02:16 AM

Hello guys. I’ve got a Nikon d7500 camera body and a Sigma 17-70mm lens. There’s nothing wrong the with the lens but with some images at times I thought I’d get better quality images, especially with the camera I have. If I swapped the lens for a Nikon lens, would it give me better images with the camera settings being the same? Not any specific images but generally.

Thank you.

Hello. Can anyone please help with this?

 

I'm trying to get my camera (d7500) to do bracketed shots but I'm failing. Am I right in thinking that once set up right the camera should take the amount of selected shots and the selected exposure levels without me touching the camera? Eg, 5 shots at 0.5 EV exposure difference.

 

I'm trying to set it up right but it still aint happening. I'm sticking to the manual like glue but nothing works. I put the camera in aperture mode and follow the instructions but still only one shot is taken.

 

Any help appreciated.

 

Cheers.


Moon photography

Hello. Can anyone help with this.

 

I have a d7500 and I'm very happy with it. However, for some reason I cannot take a decent photograph of the moon!! What I mean is, when in live view and magnifying (poor choice of words) in on the moon, all I get is a white blob! I've tried changing the white balance, the ISO, the aperture, shutter speed, manual and automatic focus, changing to different effects but it still ends up the same. I've been on several web sites and tried their suggested settings but nothing seems to work.

 

I've had a d5300 previously and could easily tale a decent photograph with that. I'm using the same lens that I had with the 5300 which is a Sigma 70-300. Every other photo is fine but I cannot nail a photo of the moon!!

 

Can anyone help???

 

Thanks in advance.
