I would like to share my site with others to enjoy. How can this be done without others uploading or down loading to my site? It seems if I send them a link they can make changes if they want? I would like to list on my RV's card for others to share.

<p><strong>No focus and no shutter release and flash ON camera not as slave. The focus or illumination light comes on and I can see deer or wahtever in this light, but 0 response by camera. Bill</strong></p>

<p>I have a Nikon D7000 which is really great, I have Sb600 flash and a Nissen flash of the same caliber. We have lots of wildlife passing behind our home and I have a motion sensor with soft yellow lights. When the animal passses by the lights come on and the wildlife pay little attention to it. I slip out the back door to take photo of Deer,racoon,opossum etc. but i cannot get my flash to work in the near darkness?? What can I do to force my flash to work. I have tried the P and S click and many of the manual and A and S clicks, but none work. I never had that problem with my D90?? What the heck is going on here. What am I missing? Bill</p>

<p>I am having the same problem on my D90 with the 18/105 3.5vr and the 70/200 2.8 vr. The focus will be clear for an instant then will blur. I can touch the focus ring just a little and it will clear up. Cannot take a candid action photo because of this. I have cleaned contacts also.<br>

I am just learning to use mine and there is alot to learn in the switch to digital. The people on this forum have really helped a lot. Not sure what to say other than try single point focus. I have tried all kinds of "stuff" and found out a lot of good info. In sports there is a place for single point, dynamic and 3D. Try center focus or wide zone also. I also found that if you disable the VR when on tripod it does better. I followed one suggestion and disabled the VR while shooting sports and that worked better in "some" cases.<br>

<p>Richard, I will try them all next game VR turned OFF ??</p>

<p>Thanks all;<br>
I do need a newer version of Elements, but can't quite do it now. I had very good sucess with the Football game and did find out about the "center point" and Dynamic area. There are times for both depending on what you want from the photograph. It is only a guess what the next play will be as which to use. Learned a LOT!! I used 1/1000 down to 1/500 as the daylight faded. 1/400 was a little slow for some runs. This is a great site. When one switchs from 35MM film to digital it is like starting all over again. I have finally decided to sell ALL my 35MM stuff.<br>

<p>Have you ever thought of getting a Shutterfly Web site for your family?<br>
Very nice site to share with your family and to order great prints from. Look into it. You build the site yourself and that is quite easy with their ready made formats and templates. Might check our family site out. Just "Google" mountainanddesertadventures (all one word)<br>

<p>Having lived in Deming, NM. for awhile, it really opened our eyes to the dangers of crossing the Border. BE VERY CAREFUL!!! and that may not be enough.<br>

<p>Thanks Dave<br>
I was only thinking ahead to the winter season when we go to NM. for the season and spend a lot of time in the mountains doing composition and was looking for more to work with. You are correct that the sports photographs do very well in Fine JPEG. I have considered the upgrade, but must wait till a better time. I thought that the Nikon software with camera would do this, but was unable to find anything in it to work.<br>
Bill<br>
PS my web site is; just Google mountainanddesertadventures (all one word)</p>

<p>Thank you Dave , I will try that. Maybe some help on opening my RAW images in Photoshop Element 5. don't seem to open the RAW (NEC) Nikon??<br>

<p><a href="/sports-photography-forum/00UNCY">D90 with Zoom-NIKKOR 70-200mm f/2.8G IF-ED</a><br>
I have had excellent response from Matt, Richard and Elliot so here is another group of questions. You all have been of great help. As I said before, I am used to setting up compostion stuff in the mountains and other areas.<br>
Shooting on Shutter priority 1000 to 320 from sunlight to stadium lighting; <br>
use 3D or other ??<br>
center point focus normal or wide?? <br>
focus point wrap around??<br>
AF or AF-C??<br>
EV setting auto or ??<br>
I will be shooting again Monday night from synlight to twilight to stadium lights, should be a learning experience.<br>
Bill</p>
-
<p>Also what about AF as to AF-C ???</p>
-
<p>Matt, Richard , Elliot<br>
things are really doing better, but do have some other thoughts to do better?<br>
Set up; AF to 3D or other??<br>
center focus; normal or wide???<br>
focus point; wrap around off or off??<br>
or any other ideas for crisper photographs.<br>
I shot 461 last night and most were not too bad. saved 107 good ones. the other ones were not necessarily bad. about 100 were not good quality.<br>

<p>Thanks to all<br>
Used the 200MM at local Pep Rally in Fieldhouse and it did pretty good. I need to work on my Techniques as this seems to be be my main problem now. I used my monopod, but still TOO much lateral movement. Practice makes for better photo's Everyone enjoy the Labor Day weekend.<br>

<p>Matt, thanks again for the help. By the way my photo is kind of misleading as my kids would say. I don't smoke or drink!!! I just did this one for a little joke one day. Got to have a little fun time.<br>

Real photo this time</p><div>

<p><strong>Sounds like good advice!!!!</strong><br>

<p>I used with VR on normal and with VR OFF, no diff.<br>
<strong>BUT Revelation!!! I had just gotten an inexpensive polarization filter. I took it off and guess what, this seemed to correct the blur problem?? I need to understand more about filters I guess. DSC8205 with 1/1000, VR on, AF on , F6.3 ISO400, Dynamic ON TRIPOD, same 100' distance. I have been beating on the wrong cow!!! Looks like <em>I need lots of help????</em></strong><br>

<p>DSC8197 back yard trial ON TRIPOD <br>
200MM, 1/1000, F4, ISO400, VR on, focus FA, 3D , on Tripod, used timer for no shake.<br>
I also tried the same without VR on and little difference, plain poor quality stuff<br>
Bill</p><div>
</div> -
<p>I would consider ALL to be of poor quality!!!<br>
