I am looking for something entry level for Nikon D750, with something like 300mm+ capabilities. Looked at Sigma 150-600, but it is unbearably huge, and I won't have ability to use. So, I wanted to ask, if there is something smaller in bulkiness, but with the super photo range. I look at the Tamron 18-400mm F/3.5-6.3 DI-II But wanted to ask, if there is a problem using it on the full frame D750 ? Is it quick to focus? Anything else, you can recommend? I am OK getting a very old used lens, as long as the autofocus is supported on my camera

I am finding myself more and more running under the weather with my Nikon D750. Wanted to pick your brains on the need to protect it from the elements. I plan to have that camera for a long time to come, and hence shading $20-$40 on protecting it from the weather seems a worthy investment. So, question #1: Is it worthy investment ? Should I even be concerned with it ? Or can I just rely on the weather sealing of the camera ? question #2: So, if I will go with the protection for the camera, should I get a silicon case for it? Or is it better to get a rain cover ? For either case, what are the options anyone can recommend ? Thanks.

Looking for a critique. Anything that can be said about it ? what is to be improved ?

I don't mind spending a lot of time in the car. Don't mind even sleeping it it if night catches me en-route. As I mentioned, I am riding solo, and the point of having a trip is for photo opportunities. I don't get those in my routine day-to-day life

I am planning a trip from NYC to ... - One destination is I want to take a auto-road to Mt. Washington, New Hampshire. It is a road trip, and I am riding solo with my camera, tripod and 3/4 lenses. Planning to make it more of a photo trip I would like to visit other places and need advice, what can I grab on the way there. I have 6-7 full days. I have never been to those parts, and I have never been to Vermont either. So, I would like an advice, on where to go for photo opportunities. My topics of interest are mostly in Nature and wildlife, but also in the general street and event photography as well. So, if anyone knows of any festivals or such going on in those parts, please let me know. Would it be advisable to go visit Rhode Island, or is the time I have is too narrow for that ?

In our times, it seems appropriate to ask such questions before acting. I have few photographs, well a set of photographs that I made on the photographing nature, and the set frankly and openly depicts "Natural selection" in the world of birds. Depiction may be somewhat "very frank" or some would say "graphical". I like to think of photography as an art, and not a form of entertainment, and art has to be honest. So, would it be acceptable to post such photos publicly ? How ca I tell the right from wrong channels through which to display such work ?

So, Yes. It was some settings. I went through all the screens, and reset all the custom menus everywhere. Now, I gut the multiple exposure working. Unfortunately, I still can't tell what caused the problem :( And it is likely i might turn those setting on again, and I won't know what it was

Yes, of course, I tried in all the settings. And I do not use 'Auto' - mostly manual and 'A' and 'S'. However, could it be that some settings, defaults everything to 'Auto' somewhere ?

I am struggling with the problem on my Nikon D750 when trying to enable Multiple Exposure. I used it at some point in the spring, and got to liking it, so trying to do projects with it, but suddenly something happened and it is disabled. Trying to enable it at various settings in a camera, I get the error message like this "This option is not available at current settings or in the camera's current state" I tried at different settings, I did "reset shooting menu" All the different settings are tried are those that I usually / always use. It is very unlikely that when it worked, I was at some setting that I do not use usually. Can anyone help ?

I have participated in a friendly photo shoot. Should I share my photos lower quality with the logo and wait to be contacted for a main - quality ones, or should I share main quality ones and run the risk of not being "needed" anymore? The story: A friend of mine, invited me to take part in photographing a hairstyle model, who is his friend - (not mine). We pooled the photos taken, and the idea of a shoot is that if there are any profit made, either by the model or by the hairstylist or by my friend or myself from these photos, then we split the profits. (We all helped each other with lights and setups and all, so we are not counting - just to split the profits if there are any) Now, my essence of the matter: - My friend is not interested in good and quality photos. And he never strives to get perfectly good ones, He is sort of a hustler, interested in quick money made from those who don't want to pay a lot for good quality photos, but rather pays some change for clicks. - I, on the other hand, would like to earn money, but for me the artistic quality is more important. Both of us have day jobs, so making money from photography is not that main of a concern. The model and the hairstylist are different story - they are both beginners in their respective trade and they do wish to make a career out of it and work toward that goal. So, my friend collected bunch of pictures, unedited, with extra things in a compositions, some cut out heads.. etc... And, I on the other hand, processed mine, and got a very good quality images. I got something, that I am not ashamed to show and give to the model and hair stylist, and that I think they can make good use of. So, I made 2 copies of the final results, one - large JPegs with no logo (of mine) and one smaller resolutions with the logo, to use just to get myself into the door. Which version should I share with the model and hair stylist ? I already gave them few high quality photos. We have nothing signed, no verbal agreements, nothing of sorts. - should I give them the promo ones, and by this make an insinuation that "If you want the better, let's talk" or - give them the higher quality ones, and possibly I will never see them again ? What are the "rules of the game" ?
