  1. <p>Hello Nikonites! How does it come that my favourite photos are always taken with equipment I don't own (yet)? I hope it doesn't evolve into a nasty NAS :-)</p>

  2. <p>Happy Wednesday and Happy New Year Nikon folks!</p>

    <p>Nothing serious this week. I've been trying out a very old laptop (Acer Aspire 3000) that I really had no use for, and if it was still fit enough to do some tethered shooting. Too slow for LR but a combination of ViewNX2 and Camera Control seems to have some possibilities. I hope Nikon software is also considered as Nikon gear :-)</p>

  3. <p>I did a shoot today and just did a quick preset in Lightroom of this shot, which actually was not part of the shoot, as the model was still walking to the set, hence the "end" of the backdrop in the middle of her head. But I loved her expression. And we sure did have a lot of fun. Happy New Year to all!</p>

  4. <p>Frank, I'm not suggesting to put a cheapo adapter in between, which would indeed lead to a loss of some (most) of the PW's functions. I only explained how I repaired mine (the cheapo), which was suffering the same problem, and it is now as steady as a rock. Well, as steady as the adapter can possibly get :-)</p>

    <p>I don't know if the same can be done with the PW's, as I don't have them. At least trying this (you can see in a moment if it can be done or not) will be a lot cheaper than buying an SB900 or SU800, which is not really a solution to Ralph's problem... </p>

     

  5. <p>I don't have TT5's, but I had a similar problem on my cheapo flash adapters.</p>

    <p>In my case, there is a peace of bent metal that acts as a spring where the foot slides in. I had to lift this up a bit with a simple screwdriver, so this spring puts more pressure on the flash foot. </p>

    <p>I hope your's can be solved as easily as mine.</p>

  6. <p>Like others I don't need the subscription. I kept mine alive since I got one some years ago from people that followed your brave example. You're too good Patrick. Merry Christmas!</p>

  7. <p>To be able to play in any DVD player, you need a DVD authoring tool. If you're on a PC, you can try <a href="http://www.dvdflick.net/">DVDFlick</a>. It's open source, and it worked for me for the odd video I had to burn to DVD. A normal DVD uses a lower resolution (720 lines) than HD though.</p>

    <p>Is it possible you set your output quality for a USB projector? Most programs would resize the image to 1024 by 800 pixels I believe.</p>

  8. <p>Thanks for opening the thread, Shun! I checked first thing in the morning (Central Europe Time) but it wasn't there yet. Matt must have been letting his dogs out :-)</p>

    <p>Here's mine of a double session we did in my make-shift studio.</p>

    <p>D90 with 55-200 and SB-80DX through 80x80cm softbox.</p>

  9. <p>Last week I forgot to post (still wondering how that was possible), so I kept the pictures for myself :-) This week I've been doing some stuff in a room I sometimes use as a studio.</p>

    <p>Happy Wednesday all! </p>

    <p>D90 w/ 50-200, SB80DX and 80x80cm softbox.<br>

  10. <p>Also consider that the flash needs some time to recycle. When the build-in flash blasts a full pop it might need several seconds until you can take a picture again. Your SB-600 might only need a fraction of its power to make the same picture. </p>

    <p>Then, if your focus setting is on AF-C, your camera might try to refocus and have difficulties in low light. Try the AF-S setting, once the focus is locked and the flash is recycled (watch the flash symbol in the viewfinder) it should fire anytime.</p>
