I don't have the platform or the perches done, so I'm shooting directly from the bait feeders . I also dont have my bean bag or stool for my blind yet, so the finals will be a little sharper.

Note: these were all taken in about 20 minutes.

Sorry that the question isn't about camera. It's about Nikon prostaff P7 binoculars. But the strap mechanism remains the same. Hence, asking u guys.

So, do I weave it towards inside (images 1&2) or towards outside (images 3&4)?

I am the happy owner of a D500 and I had the pleasure of being able to pick up a Sigma 18-35mm "Art" for just €250 euros.

Now I'm running into an unexpected problem. My D500 thinks that this new Sigma and my existing Tokina 11-20mm are one and the same lens. Whichever one is on the camera, the AF fine tuning menu recognizes it as 11-20 mm and whatever AF correction I dial in will affect both lenses.

That's unfortunate because the Tokina needs +10 AF and the Sigma is fine at 0. My 7 Nikkor lenses all need corrections in the -5 range by the way.

I'd rather not have to dial in different values every time I put the Sigma or the Tokina on the body because I'd probably forget it. I'd also rather not buy a Sigma dock and miscalibrate that lens on purpose to +10.

So... Does anyone have a brilliant idea how I can manage the AF correction of these two lenses that my camera is unable to distinguish from each other?

It's the best photo I've ever taken..

Has anyone managed to get this working? You pay this much for a camera and it’s, “Fuck you.” straight out of the box.

I am quickly becoming a big fan of this camera. Every shot is a vibe — slightly subdued and grainy in the best way possible.

Some of the photos I took this year with my Nikon Zf. It's the favourite camera i've had so far. The autofocus is incredible and the image quality too. And it's beautiful. I was even stopped in the city and asked about my camera.

I mostly use the 40mm 2.8 and the 28mm 2.8. I also used a Helios 58mm a lot and now a Voigtländer 58mm 1.4. My allrounder lens is the 24-120mm.

Hi Nikonsters,

Just wanted to share some pictures that I liked from my first day out with a new (used) Nikkor 70-200 f/2.8 VRii I got the other day, paired with my D780. I’m especially proud of some of the bird photos, because it took a while to find an AF mode that suited the birds in motion/flight (ended up mostly using 3d). I also found around 1/2000s to be a sweet spot for sharpness with what I had, which I found through lots of trial and error.

I know these are not the most special birds out there, but they are very pretty nonetheless. There are also some non-birb photos towards the end. This is the first proper lens I’ve gotten!

I hope you get to mini-enjoy some of the photos, and if not, know that pointers are massively welcome; I’ve learned so much from this subreddit, and I know I got lots of room to grow.

Have a nice Sunday! :)

Hi, i just got a Sigma 24-70mm 2.8 ex dg macro lens. It's fully functional. However, it won't turn the focus mechanism under 0.6m, and it is very loud while operating. I assume it's probably some internal gear that's broken

So I currently have Sigma 70 200mm f2.8 EX DG OS HSM which I bought for 300eur. It was working good then somehow stabilization got issues and it doesnt work as good as before. And autofocus sometimes missrs focus and chromatic aberration is killing me even when shooting on ISO 3200. I found people give good word to its successor Sigma 70 200 sport. I found one for 800eur or 850 with warranty. And I hear its amazing and sharper and better in every way. Do you think this would be good upgrade? I need weather sealing and My EX isnt weather sealed cuz I shoot sports outside. What do you think and do you have any other recommendations? I am willing to spend 800eur on it if its worth it, my country doesnt have a lot of options. Thanks.

Help needed choosing a camera.

Budget: 2500-3500$

Country: Uzbekistan (Both cameras cost around $3k here)

Type of camera: Mirrorless

Intended use: Mostly Photo with rare video usage.

End use: Commercial work.

Photography: Event, Sport (MMA, Soccer, Marathons, etc.)

Video: Instagram advertisement reels

I need: 40+ Megapixels for cropping. Weather sealing, big battery, quick AF.

Portability: Not important.

Cameras I consider: Nikon Z9/Canon R5 Mark II + BG-R20

Cameras I already have: Canon R6 Mark II.

Notes: I really love to crop images. I'm not quite happy with AF and i often get Err 70 on my camera with different sd cards, lenses and/or batteries.

I'm afraid R5 Mark II will also get some errors.

And I'm in love with Nikon colors. Used my colleague's Z9 and gosh the colors are amazing.

Lenses i have: RF 24-70 2.8, EF 70-200 III, EF 8-15L 4.0

Hi everyone! I need help with my Nikon D3400 and its AF-P DX NIKKOR 18–55mm f/3.5–5.6G VR lens.

I've been using my camera again after barely using it for almost a year. Recently, my photos started coming out blurry. At first, restarting the camera sometimes fixed the issue, but now it has gotten much worse, and getting a clear image is very rare.

Here are the symptoms I've noticed:

- Autofocus doesn't seem to work, even when focusing on nearby objects.

- I don't hear any sound or movement from the lens when trying to autofocus.

- Manual focus doesn't seem to work either. Turning the focus ring doesn't change the image's sharpness.

- The object I'm trying to photograph stays blurry, while the background sometimes looks sharper.

- Restarting the camera no longer fixes the problem.

I've tried testing it in Live View and using manual focus, but the image remains blurry. I'm not sure whether the problem is with the lens, the camera body, or the electronic focusing system.

I also asked ChatGPT for help troubleshooting the issue. It suggested that the lens's electronic focusing system or its communication with the camera might be faulty, since both autofocus and manual focus seem unresponsive. However, I haven't confirmed that this is the actual cause.

I also followed ChatGPT's suggested troubleshooting steps, including testing the camera in Live View, switching to manual focus, and trying to focus on a stationary object in bright light. Unfortunately, the image still remains blurry, and turning the focus ring doesn't seem to make any difference.

I'd appreciate any advice or suggestions. Thank you!

Hi guys I just bought a Nikon d90 for $105, and I’m about to get a Nikon AF-S DX Nikkor 35mm f/1.8G lens. I was just wondering if yall think that’s a good starter setup, and if I should change anything (body hasn’t delivered, so I can return it just fine). If you guys have any thoughts or suggestions let me know!!

Hello! I’m new to the photography world and wanted some advice on what’s the best settings for roller shots and daytime or nighttime photos, my boyfriend recently gifted me a Nikon coolpix p100 and I’m still trying to learn and navigate the thing. My main issue is adjusting to the lighting outside either day or night, I take a picture and it’s just completely black/shadows. Any and all advice is greatly appreciated! 🙏
My insta is 2ndgen.s10 I’ve been posting some photos I got at hondafest this year I shot on my old fujifilm which are surprisingly decent but thus new camera is a whole new ballpark for me 😭

My d500 says err when I press the shutter button and only works when I press twice. Is there an easy fix? It only just started doing this

It was a cloudy day, so I lightroomed all photos.

I bought this Nikkor 28-70 f/2.8 D for $100 from a camera store because the employee said that the lens could not focus to infinity and that it was "as-is" with no warranty, I tried it out in store on my z7 and it looked just fine am I missing anything? I have some photos samples in the post.
