NX Studio and Lightroom
I was looking at NX studio as I recently heard it can show you the point of focus on images. Okay it doesn¡¯t seem to provide that with non Nikon lenses, so far. But I have noticed that I like its

Re: Deepening my dive into macro
Hello Jon, During the time that I was into macro, even before I bought a macro flash system, I used a plate made out of a carton plate with aluminum foil to reflect the light. Like you, I live very

Re: Deepening my dive into macro
I do mostly macro but I use an older D7100 coupled with an older MF Lester Dine 105 F2.8 macro lens along with a Lester Dine ring flash ( of which I have several lenses and ring flashes)?or a

Re: Deepening my dive into macro
There always is the option of using the R1C1 macro flash system, or the R1 macro flash system if your on camera flash can perform in the ¡°commander¡± mode. The usual places have either of these in

Deepening my dive into macro
I hope everyone is doing well. I¡¯ve been playing around with macro as I may have mentioned before. So far I¡¯ve been sticking to my D300s with a Tokina 100mm f/2.8 macro lens. Things I have

Have those periods where some little thing plagues your photography work? For some reason I seemed to miss the depth of field from time to time and it bugged me. With my D700 the screen on the back

Re: D700 repair
Yup, and it all depends if the part is available. The 700s are old now. I'll call Nikon on Long Island and see, but I don't hold much hope in getting information from them as I have not had good

Re: D700 repair
Of Course my comment depends on where you live, but I had the same problem with my D850 (camera bag clip hit it) and I sent it to Peachtree Camera, in Marietta, Georgia (770) 795-8020 - they are

Re: Macro lenses
The 200-500 showed promise. Need to bump the iso up from 800 though and either use a monopod or tripod. VR helps but at the close distance is not as effective. My 70-200 f2/8 also showed promise this

Re: Macro lenses
I can¡¯t imagine using the Nikkor 200-500mm for bees. It¡¯s a great lens, but it practically lives on my heavy duty Gitzo 320 tripod when I¡¯m using it. I did try using it for birds in flight on

Re: Macro lenses
Hi, Jon. Are you using a monopod or tripod to support the 200 - 500? My 200 - 500 is almost permanently attached to my D500, predominanty for reasonably stationary birds, but I doubt that I could hold

Re: Macro lenses
I went a different approach today. I took out my 200-500 and from about 8 feet at f/11 - f/13 was working with about 1/2¡± dof. If I can get out for a break from work in the morning when the suns in

Re: Macro lenses
I am just getting my z8 af set up, but I think I am going to like real well for bumble bees at 1/32000 sec! It should talk the blur out! I will most likely shoot with my Nikkor 105 f2.8. A wonderful
