<p>Happy New Year Everyone :-)</p>

<p>You would probably be better of with a Nikon SB-700 or one of the Nissin Di866 or Di622. These will work with the Nikon CLS flash system that can automatically set the flash intensity for you.</p>

<p>You can use either DX or FX lenses with the D7100. You can also use AF-D or AF-G lenses.</p> <p>The AF-G 50mm f/1.8 is a very nice lens</p>

<p>And the third</p><div></div>

<p>Second one</p><div></div>

<p>I took a few pictures of this guy on Boxing Day</p><div></div>

<p>If you have a newer iMac that supports the Thunderbolt interface you can daisy chain several external drives from 1 thunderbolt port. That is what I do with 4 Raid 1 drives (3 TB usable space each)</p>

<p>Stop down to f/16 or f/22 or f/32 (depending on your lens) at iso 100 and use a flash to light the flower</p>

<p>I think the rules for tripods are<br> <br />Heavy and Stable = low cost<br> Light and Unstable = low cost<br> Light and Stable = high cost</p>

<p>Sounds more like the bicycle manufacturer needs a model release to use the images in their advertising...<br> The manufacturer is spouting nonsense if they think you need a model release from the bicycle manufacturer to use the photos.</p>

<p>Nikon transfer only lets you see thumbnails to select what to transfer, it is not ViewNX2. ViewNX2 is started up after the transfer is complete.<br /> Just transfer them all and then you can see them full screen in ViewNX2</p> <p>Or open the pictures on the card (that is in a card reader ) by starting ViewNX2 directly, navigating to the card and opening the pictures directly from the card.<br> You will have to use a card reader to do this as the Nikon cameras do not let you open the connected camera as a mass storage device (since the D200/D300 era)</p>

<p>They seem to be suggesting that you can use a cellular equipped tablet as a personal hotspot to that your PC and laptop can use it to connect to the internet.<br> <br />Why would you want to use a tablet - that is most likely very underpowered - to do your post processing editing work?<br> <br />I would think that your laptop would be good for an "away from your desk" experience.<br> <br />The viability of a tablet as a hotspot depends on a several things, how well the tablet works in an "always on" configuration, how good its internal WiFi antenna is - which determines the range from your other equipment, and how much a cellular hub will cost to replace, as opposed to how much a cellular equipped tablet will cost.</p>

<p>The 50mm 1.8 D lens will not auto focus on the D3200. You would have to buy the 50mm G lens. The G lens is cheap enough and arguably better enough that you should not bother with the D lens.</p> <p>You can use the dust blowers to remove the large bits, then wipe with lens tissue or a micro fiber cloth. When you get greasy splatters you would need a lens cleaning solution to remove them.</p>

<p>You could always install Nikon's ViewNX2 or NX-D software. These are free downloads. You can use these to convert and adjust the NEF (RAW) files to TIFF for manipulation in Light Room if you need to.</p>

<p>playing with a new lens makes up for that :-)</p><div></div>

<p>It was a cold foggy day but ...</p><div></div>

<p>I got a Rokinon/Samyang Tilt-Shift 24mm f/3.5 lens for a birthday present</p><div></div>

<p>the actual second shot</p><div></div>

<p>second shot</p>

<p>A small owl decided to pose for me on Sunday</p><div></div>

<p>I use 32 GB and 64 GB cards in my D800 and find the 64 GB cards more convenient.<br> Just make sure you have a spare card or two :-)</p>

<p>Well, the D800 is a terrific camera, so it may be well worth it to get a used one.</p>
