I combine two hobbies. Wildlife photography and hiking. To my own detriment, I don't have any prime lenses. I do like getting the best quality images I can from my AF Zooms, however. I've read, and agree, that with most 'all in one' zooms, quality will drop off at max telephoto settings. Do any...

Had a question about exposure. All my images were coming out consistently too dark. I'll be brief here. In setting up my D500 for wildlife, I'd gone with aperture priority, auto ISO. I had also checked the exposure setting and selected 'auto on'. I, mistakenly, thought that would take care of...

Unusual for me to see them twice in one week. D500 - Aperature Priority - Auto ISO - F11. Nikkor 28-300mm FX zoom lens.

Several years ago now, I finally saved enough for my very first DSLR. I chose a D5100, mostly because it fit what I could scrape up. Loved that camera. It opened a whole new world. Even with only the 18-55 kit lens it was a step up. A friend upgraded her lens and I was able to purchase her old F...

With my Nikon D7100, when I begin to upload photos from my camera to a folder in my PC, the folder jumps and avoids capture repeatedly!!! I have researched it on Microsoft's website. They do acknowledge the situation with Windows 10. (Never had this problem with Windows 7 or any other Windows...

Could even do a forum like this. Things that we find as odd, unusual or strange. Certainly a first for me, the Abbot's Sphinx Moth Caterpillar. The very detailed 'snake head' is actually on the caterpillar's BUTT ! The caterpillar's head is on the other end. This, in nature, is to make a...

Took this for documentation on my little photo/nature site. Thought I'd share it here. I think the buds already appearing on my Lilac are leaf buds but it's still too early and they will most likely get frozen.

Sorry if this has been put up before. I placed a silicone rubber wrist band on the lens of my camera to show support for the son of a very good friend. I found that it completely stopped lens creep. I now ad a wrist band to every zoom lens. I prefer it to the 'lock' as I can immediately still...

I'll try to be brief. I had a Nikon D750. I shoot mostly wildlife and nature shots. In reading, a lot of folks preferred a D500 for wildlife. I got the opportunity to sell the D750 and buy a D500. I kept the 28 to 300mm zoom I had bought for the D750. In reading, again, consensus was that the FX...

Looking forward to becoming an active part of your community. Seems I share a name with one or more established members so 'wildshots' was the best I could come up with in the middle of the registration. I do like wildlife, nature photography. Sam
