    <p>Nikon announced a firmware update for the D810 today - now C 1.10 <a href="http://downloadcenter.nikonimglib.com/en/download/fw/156.html" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">http://downloadcenter.nikonimglib.com/en/download/fw/156.html</a></p>

    <p>This article: http://www.imagen-estilo.com/Articles/Flash/flash-photography-basics.html</p> <p>may help, particularly the figure of the exposure triangle.</p>

    <blockquote> <p>My 200-500 order from B&H has finally shipped yesterday. Just thought I would post that for anyone else who may have an order pending. My order was entered on 9-30 and shipped 10-21.</p> </blockquote> <p>Mine was ordered from B&H on Oct 8, and was shipped Oct 21. It'll get to me on Oct 26 when I'm out of town for a week :(<br /> Fortunately my wife will be home on Monday.</p>

    <p>Funny thing is, I looked straight at the same pictures and also overlooked the tags.<br> I blindly followed the link, and assumed they were all taken with the 200-500, and said to myself, how on earth did Jerry manage to take these with a 200-500. :)</p>

    <p>I've used the infamous "black foamie thing" http://neilvn.com/tangents/the-black-foamie-thing/ when working in forest underbrush etc. You can shape it ever which way you want, from a flag to a snoot. Costs a couple of bucks and weighs less than paper.<br> More here: http://neilvn.com/tangents/video-using-the-black-foamie-thing/</p>

    <p>Well, I learned a few things new too! </p>

    <p>Right you are Shun. That's what happens when I try and multi-task at work! The screen you are in is C2 (on my 810) which is the standby timer.</p>
  9. Palouse
    <p>RJ is right. You are at the exposure delay mode--it sets a short delay between pressing the shutter release button and actually opening the shutter. You need the self timer control (C3 on my 810) along with setting the shooting mode wheel on self timer (it's on the top plate left).</p>

    <p>Street walker is also slang for prostitute.</p>

    <p>This is a clear and convincing case of the VW effect: when a camera senses that it is being used by an incompetent journalist it automatically enters idiot mode and takes bad pictures.</p>

    <blockquote> <p>However, I kind of doubt that Nikon enforces that registration. If you read the previous thread, some people think that is merely Nikon's way to get your name and e-mail address so that they can spam you with further e-mail advertisements.</p> </blockquote> <p>Interesting. I've been buying and registering new Nikon gear since the early 1980s and have never received any spam mail--snail or e- from Nikon. </p>

    <blockquote> <p>The exposure in image 1 is EV 10.3. Sunny 16 is EV 15 so it's exposed 4.77 stop under sunny 16.</p> </blockquote> <p>But yet you say it is perfectly exposed? I'm confused. Looking at a histogram of picture 1, I see a left-skewed distribution tight to the left edge of the frame. Clipping?</p>

    <blockquote> <p>Check you haven't got a WB shift set by accident BeBu.</p> </blockquote> <p>This something that I have done-accidentally on a couple of occasions simply by scrolling through menus and using the wring button to exit from a choice. And WB can also be accidentally changed by a couple of finger slips while trying to do other tasks. </p>

    <p>Edward's suggestion of using MS Office Pro's database, 'Access' is a sound one. Many years ago (as in the end of the last century) I used Access to create and manage a huge state-wide natural resource data base for Idaho. It included pictures, maps, quantitative data and text comments.<br> I've not used Access for many years, but I'm sure it is even better.</p>

    <p>Nicely put Matt! I think we've both experienced the same bunch of tourons! :)</p>

    <p>"with some bias for what's under the active AF points. . ."<br />I've played around with it on D810 and I agree that Sem's observation is an important one. Once you get the hang of this "bias" HHM can be handy in some situations. </p>

    <p>My landscape arsenal currently includes a24-120 and an 80-200. Most of my shots are in the 85-200 range. I shoot predominantly landscapes in the western US.</p>

    <p>The Phottix Cleon comes with one cable (and you can add the other for about $20. N8 for the D810 and N10 for D600).</p>
  23. Palouse
    <p>I've been using the Phottix Cleon II remote shutter release for a year or so. Does everything it is supposed to do, reliably. http://www.phottix.com/index.php/en/remotes/phottixr-cleon-ii.html?options=cart<br> It's about $50, and you'd need the NB cable I believe. </p> <p> </p>

    <p>As with a stuck filter, a very light hand is usually more effective than brute force.</p>
