***DSLR/Photography MegaThread***

I do a lot of stuff on the front porch with indirect lighting from the sun and no flash.

I've tried that and just can't seem to get the results I want. End up having to adjust colors and such. I think I just need a consistent set up that I have a little more control over.

You do take a lot of great photos though, so maybe I'll play around with it a little bit more.

She led the pack the entire second race. Fearless!!! Love it!!!

By the way, these are all at ISO 5000, 200mm, f4, and about 1/125th. The D3 may be five years old now, but it ain't no slouch. In fact, I can't think of a reason to replace it since nothing else is really leaps-and-bounds ahead of it, rather only small incremental sensor improvements and feature additions that I don't need.

Here's a couple from Yosemite. I'm in the middle of importing and flagging, but I've processed these two so far.

Nevada Falls from Glacier Point. Uncropped. Taken with the 500mm mirror lens at f/8, 1/1000sec, ISO 1000. The vignetting is natural shadow from the spires of granite on the West end of the Yosemite Valley.
Anyone who says mirror lenses suck for sharpness is full of crap.

Half Dome from Glacier Point. Uncropped. Taken with the 50mm prime at f/8, 1/100sec, ISO 100.
 
Here's a couple more from Yosemite, as I'm processing them today.

Upper Yosemite Falls from the valley floor. 60mm, f/8, 1/160sec, ISO 400.

Half Dome's Eastern slope. You can see hikers hauling themselves up and down the cables if you look closely. This was taken at Olmsted Point using the 70-200 with a 2x teleconverter, and the image is cropped from the full frame. Actual data for the image is 310mm, f/8, 1/400sec, ISO200.

Sunset on the Yosemite Valley from Glacier Point. 35mm, f/8, 1/250sec, ISO 400.

For giggles, I raked in a couple HDR's during my trip to Yosemite. It's been SO LONG since I did any HDR work!!

I looked for images with high contrast or where I could use the sun in-frame to my advantage. Came out with some neat stuff, I think:
