Information

Nikon Users Group

For people who own Nikon cameras and lenses. It doesn't matter if it's SLR or point and shoot. This group is for discussion on your experiences with having a Nikon camera.

THE GROUP.

Nikon has been renowned for high-quality optics and camera equipment since they were founded in 1919. The history of Nikon cameras began in 1948, the year that the Nikon I, the company's first camera was released. Today Nikon continues that legacy with an outstanding line of digital SLR (single lens reflex) cameras including the D90, D300, D700, D3 and the new D3x.

This group is a place for users of all Nikon digital SLR and point-and-shoot cameras to share their experiences, demonstrate techniques through example, and discuss Nikon's latest offerings.

CAUTION: Camera brand debates will not be tolerated in this group. Do not post "Canon vs Nikon or Pentax vs Nikon" threads. Do not ask which camera is better (exceptions on Nikon Cameras only). Discussions of this type will be promptly deleted.

Cheers!~
Maeda

No problem Minette.

Thanks James, I'll go check it out.
Mike Noble Comment by Mike Noble on January 27, 2010 at 4:49am
Minette, are you talking about "panoramas" or "multiple exposures"?
James Baker Comment by James Baker on January 27, 2010 at 4:22am
I'm not sure if the camera has a pano mode, but I use a Piece of software called Hugin to do panoramas. It's quite good at matching exposures etc. However, I find it easier to just put the camera in Manual mode. That way the exposures will always match. I usually take a picture in an auto mode to see it's suggestion for exposure. Then I just take a series of shots with about a third of the frame overlapping the last shot.

It's available for Mac, Windows and Linux here: http://hugin.sourceforge.net/download/

I understand that Fred, I have done it in an editing program but sometimes found that the photos brightness and so on differs. Witch makes it difficult to combine these photos. What I am asking is, if the camera has a panorama function? Like the small handheld cameras and cell phone cameras.
Fred Comment by Fred on January 26, 2010 at 11:05pm
Minette

Panorama is where you take numerous pictures of a subject and stitch them together to make one photograph. easily done in Photoshop or another piece of software I cannot remember the name of!

Or do you mean bracketing exposure? If so look in you manual, it will tell you how to do it.
Minette van Heerden Comment by Minette van Heerden on January 26, 2010 at 10:43pm
Hi everyone, I have a D3000 and a question to go with it.... is there a (I think it's called) "panorama" option on this camera? When you can take say 3 photos and the camera puts it into 1….

This is a monthly photo contest group. A different theme will be chosen each month and participants will be allowed to participate and vote. There are no prizes at this time except a lot of recognition... but that could change in the future.
