#65296 Washed out pastels

Posted by Snorky on 12 November 2019 - 07:17 AM

Looks nice. Deep, rich colors... I'd increase the brightness a bit though.




#65294 Help me to decide which lens to use

Posted by Snorky on 12 November 2019 - 07:09 AM

You probably got a lens along with the D7200, so it would be good to know which one it is.
 

That would have been my first question... what lens do you have now?




#64779 Nikon lens query

Posted by Snorky on 10 October 2019 - 06:11 AM

Most likely that will require a special adapter,




#64688 My first camera D3500 - need help

Posted by Snorky on 07 October 2019 - 07:13 AM

Seriously, as long as your camera came with a battery and charger and you bought a card to put the images on, you really don't need anything else.

 

Go out and enjoy using your camera and learn how it functions.  

 

This, for sure.

 

I bought a Nikon D5600 3 months ago with the same lens kit... it's a great range of focal lengths.

 

Yes, the more seasoned photographers will suggest better lenses, but they cost a fortune. Take your time and read the manual, learn your camera's functions and take hundreds of pictures. Print a few of your favorites and share them with family and friends. That's what I've been doing and its great!

For what it's worth, Adobe has been monkeying around with what's included in their Photography Plan lately. 

 

 

Ye$. They have no problem$ taking everyone'$ money. :D

#64135 Lens not Attached

Posted by Snorky on 02 September 2019 - 04:59 AM

Just curious how long you've owned the D5600. It's a newer model and shouldn't have issues with contact corrosion.




#64101 Food Shots for Magazine Ad

Posted by Snorky on 31 August 2019 - 06:00 AM

Great shots. What camera/lens/settings?

 

Also I'm interested in learning about what post editing was used. :)




#63939 International and US Lens

Ah, the perils and pitfalls of "gray market" camera equipment. :wacko:




#63874 Echinacea I Believe, and with a Bonus. :))

Posted by Snorky on 19 August 2019 - 06:20 AM

Nice picture. But a Canon camera on a Nikon forum? Horrors!

 

:D




#63871 Hello from British Columbia, Canada!

Welcome to the forum. 

 

Long-time Nikon user here from back in the ancient film days. Really enjoying digital photography. :)




#63696 Critiquing your own photographs

Posted by Snorky on 05 August 2019 - 07:30 AM

It's important as photographers that we show our best work. Let's use the various tools available to us for straightening crooked horizons, cropping out unwanted and/or distracting subjects, sharpening, adjusting white balance, and giving our photographs some "pop."

 

I've watched excellent tutorials by professional photographers around the world who share their editing secrets. We don't have to run out and buy PhotoShop or Lightroom though... there are many free programs and smartphone apps that will do the job!

 

 




#63486 Pancake Lens

Posted by Snorky on 26 July 2019 - 05:52 AM

A friend of mine just bought a used pancake lens for his D7200. He was wondering... does he have to use genuine maple syrup with it or will Mrs. Butterworth's be OK?

#63254 Saving & backing up RAW images

Posted by Snorky on 09 July 2019 - 03:24 PM

No problems at all, but if your raw converter saves your edits in sidecar files, you will have to take that under consideration so they get copied as well.

 

Did someone say "sidecar?"

#63183 Upgrading from Nikon D5300 to D5600. Is it worth it?

Posted by Snorky on 05 July 2019 - 07:14 AM

I think i will keep the Nikon D5300 and buy the following:

  • High-Power 500mm/1000mm f/8 Manual Telephoto Lens

 

I'd suggest doing a web search for reviews. This is an extremely slow lens with mediocre optics.
