Jeff, I'm truly sorry to see this site close down.

I have always recommended this site to anyone who wanted to know about digital photography, and especially those who wanted help in choosing a...

This past Friday evening my trusty D300 started making razor-blades-in-a-blender noise while shooting at 6fps during a prep school football game.

I have replaced the shutter mechanism twice...

Well, I certainly missed a good opportunity to move up from my 252 ranking.

Two weeks ago I had surgery for a torn rotator cuff, and spent an inordinate amount of time online and didn't make a...

After doing a bit more reading on the subject, and reading all the good advice here, I will be getting a new camcorder or two.

I was hoping that DSLR video had progressed enough to just have one...

I'm in the market for a new video camera, and I'm considering going to a DSLR that shoots video. Currently I have a D300 for stills but it's getting a bit worn out, I've had to replace the shutter...

:eek::eek::eek:

Now my brain needs a good bleaching!!

Maybe I'm misunderstanding, but what I want to trigger is the camera shutter, not a flash. Imagine a remote camera set up behind a basketball backboard....that's what I want to trigger.

A question for the techies here...I don't see any mention of a remote socket (10-pin) on the D7000 specs.

I'm about to invest in some Pocket Wizards, so how would I trigger the D7000 if there's no...

Are you using these with speedlights or studio flashes?

I shoot a lot of prep school sports, American football and (soccer) football under lights; volleyball and basketball indoors.

I live at iso 1600 with an occasional trip up to 2500 or 3200.

A bit over 215,000.

A follow up for those that may be interested...

Nikon in El Segundo, California diagnosed a worn-out shutter assembly. The estimate for repair was much less than I had feared - $245.00 U.S.

I...

I would have been happy to post the answer, but your post arrived in the central U.S. at either 3 am Tuesday or the middle of next week; I never can keep the date line stuff straight.

;)

Well, my mirror problem has gotten worse, and I'm having shots blown out by a stuck-open shutter. I'm sending it to Nikon tomorrow for a repair estimate. It's out of warranty.

Anyone ever have a...

Turned out great, except for the weather. Gray and cool, good for racing but some of the pics look subdued as a result. The sun came out the second day. I didn't have track access the second day, so...

Prospero -

I did not get an error message on the LCD panel. The display was normal.

I used the camera for over 2300 shots this past Friday and Saturday, and overall I would say that the mirror...

Well, as I posted in another thread, I was granted a media credential for the big NHRA drag race here in St. Louis this weekend.

Naturally, today my D300 decides to act up on me.

Shooting a...

I work as a part-timer for a community newspaper here, shooting mostly high school sports. I had asked my editor months ago if he would request a credential for me; he isn't a racing fan and had...

Just bought the hearing protection - active noise canceling firing range earmuffs.

...this weekend in St. Louis!!! :D:D

I'll be within 40 feet or so of the Top Fuelers, Funny Cars, etc as they run

One question for the board - I've been told my equipment will get VERY dirty...

I miss the old Power Computing news, too!

On days like this I'm glad I'm not the one that has to deal with this stuff!!

Is he shooting for the newspaper? If so, and they won't let him take company equipment I'd tell them to cram it.

If he's going as a freelance or volunteer, then I could see the paper's position.

First of all, I'm not asking about a Canon camera in my possession!!

I have a co-worker who has been given, through a family member, a Canon A-1 - an old film camera from the late 70's, early...

How about an "I went to something I usually shoot but just watched instead" post?

Last week I attended my daughter's Christmas choir concert and in years past I would be shooting stills and a...
