Hoooorah for Nikon Instruction Manuals... NOT!

Ian, if Nikon instruction manuals were easy to read and understand, there would be no purpose in life. Got it? Nikon has many overqualified and overpaid engineers working on the manual to make it a... Continue

I had some spare time on my hand and decided to go to a small lake at the outskirts of town Bird shooting, action Herons are action Heroes! It seems to be the ‘IN thing’ to shoot a Heron eating a fish, so there was my self-imposed brief. I set the Nikon D300 up as per the bird’s t… Continue

At 2:29pm on August 31st, 2008, Marilyn Flanagan said…: Thank you for your very kind words about my photos. I wish to follow your suggestions regarding luminescence and contrast. Are you suggesting that the photos be lighter or darker in contrast. If you have an opportunity, would you be able to choose one that needs this and show me what you would do with it? Much appreciated. Thank you.
