What settings do you use????

99% of my images are landscape, with a maximum depth of field (3 feet to infinity) shot in RAW with a Nikon D500, which are then cropped to either 5x7 or 8x10, with a resolution 400 or more ppi. I…Continue

Has anyone any experience using this lens? I am giving it consideration for doing hyperfocal landscape photography. I like the fact that it has a distance scale for set up and at 15 mm, good image…Continue

I primarily do landscape photography with a tripod mounted D5000 and a Nikkor 18-105 mm lens. I am looking at several ways ways to obtain the sharpest depth of field from a couple of feet back. The…Continue

Up to now, in order to get the maximum depth of field in landscape photography, I've have been using the hyperfocal method, shooting at 18 mm and f/22. While this produces reasonable results, f/22 is…Continue

Greg Maklae replied to Mary Asher's discussion 'Distance from Subject'"Its called hyperfocal distance. Based on the focal length of the lens, the f/stop, and the sensor size of the camera, it will calculate the distance to focus at. Based of this number, 1/2 this distance, to infinity will be acceptably sharp. For…"
Greg Maklae replied to Jaqueline's discussion 'Which lenses?'"Portraits and 35 mm are not compatable. Look for something in the 60 to 80 mm range."
Greg Maklae replied to Stephanie W's discussion 'Nikon D3000 Issues - Stops Focusing?'"After an experience I had yesterday with my 18-105 mm Nikon, I am convinced your problem is a lack of image contrast/light. When I added a 3 stop graduated neutral density filter, the lens would not autofocus above 70 mm, as the view…"
Greg Maklae replied to Stephanie W's discussion 'Nikon D3000 Issues - Stops Focusing?'"Two thought come to mind. First, lack of contrast in the image, possible from it being too dark. Scroll the focus point around the view finder to see if focusing on a different point helps. Does that camera have live view? If so try focusing with…"

"Like this one the best of you submittals. Would like to see the sky a bit darker. Think what would help you the most is a good processing program. I would suggest Lightroom. It would be very easy to darken the sky and perhaps slightly lighten…"

Rich Blue
"Every thing is too close to the same color, the sky, walls and building. Maybe zoom in on the window to get the contrasts of the dark and light blue."
Greg Maklae replied to Baher WY's discussion 'High in the sky' in the group Photo Criticism"Here you have a definate subject. My only comments are,first, the center of attention of the image, should not be placed in the center of the image (rule of thirds). Possibly lower the shooting angle to include less sky, and more of the foreground…"
Greg Maklae replied to Baher WY's discussion 'I want some opinions' in the group Photo Criticism"What is the purpose of this image?? I have no idea what the main subject is."
Greg Maklae replied to Arnoud's discussion 'Which tripod to buy'"The photos also suffer because of tripod bounce causing blur. This is why it is better to use a remote, as well as a delay on all your shots."
Greg Maklae replied to vasim kakroo's discussion 'Hi every one there!'"Just remember, a good photographer can achieve outstanding results with any camera, but no amount of high end equipment can make up for poor knowledge. Keep Shooting!"
Greg Maklae replied to vasim kakroo's discussion 'Hi every one there!'"Welcome! Just looked at you photos, and am very impressed. You have a good grasp of composition, controlling depth of field and lighting. Looking forward to seeing more of your work."
Greg Maklae replied to Arnoud's discussion 'Which tripod to buy'"First off, the $40 tripod is a waste on money. It will be very unstable, leading to camera shake. I got the SLIK Pro 700DX from Amazon for about $150. Though a bit heavy (7 pounds) it is solid as a rock. I have set it up in streams, on the side of…"
