Tiberman Sajiwan Ramyead replied to Tiberman Sajiwan Ramyead's discussion Hyperfocal distance - see my photo '18th century anchorage point'"Charles, Keith, Supriya - thanks for your constructive comments on my 19th anchorage shot. I have been struggling with that shot for several months; it is dictated by low tide early morning or low tide at sunset. But I'll persevere and put up…"
Charles Mercer replied to Tiberman Sajiwan Ramyead's discussion Hyperfocal distance - see my photo '18th century anchorage point'"Your photo looks fine to me and it's a nice example of a landscape. I've tried to upload a photo here taken with a Canon 5dMark11 20mm f2.8 handheld ISO400 at 1/125 f8, flash on foreground (on camera with reflector). This will be used in a…"
Keith Walker replied to Tiberman Sajiwan Ramyead's discussion Hyperfocal distance - see my photo '18th century anchorage point'"Full size on my monitior the far shore and the mast is out of focus. You really need to use a smaller aperure, say f/16 to increase the depth of field. You could use 200 ISO which would have no effect on the results and would keep the shutter speed…"
Tiberman Sajiwan Ramyead replied to Cliff Briggin's discussion Nikon Nx2"Fred - thanks. I downloaded the update from Nikon USA and its now 2.3.0, and working fine - the NEF files open OK. There is more inside that software than I thought. I'll be poring over the user's manual for months to come, I suppose.…"
Tiberman Sajiwan Ramyead replied to Cliff Briggin's discussion Nikon Nx2"I bought the Nikon Capture NX 2 CD, or rather my son sent it over from London.It won't open NEF. Tried uninstalling it, downloaded the trial version and then put in my product key no, and it still won't take in NEF. Help."

Thanks for the spontanoeus and candid advice. That shot is meant for my book; and it must be re-taken and re-re-taken. I am reverting back on this HD subject very shortly; as soon as I get pressing contracts out of…"
Supriya Mukherjee replied to Tiberman Sajiwan Ramyead's discussion Hyperfocal distance - see my photo '18th century anchorage point'"yes sir, you are very correct. the dof calculators never works well on dx body though d7000 is d best dx in nikon's lineup. but i think adjusting the focus while looking at the display & zooming the display for checking the sharpest point…"
CameraClicker replied to Tiberman Sajiwan Ramyead's discussion Hyperfocal distance - see my photo '18th century anchorage point'"I found your photo. It looks pretty good, perhaps you focused slightly further away than the HFD but everything looks in good focus. Here is your image with a bit of sharpening.
This is the full sized file that was originally posted then…"
CameraClicker replied to Tiberman Sajiwan Ramyead's discussion Hyperfocal distance - see my photo '18th century anchorage point'"I don't see a photo in this thread. Camera movement will introduce blur. Usually, but not always, the difference is apparent in the photo if you can examine it full size.
If you shoot a landscape at 18 mm, you can get very good…"
Supriya Mukherjee replied to Tiberman Sajiwan Ramyead's discussion Hyperfocal distance - see my photo '18th century anchorage point'"I blv u will get a better result with your prime or a good wide angel, or u can use a zoom so dat u can capture from little far . . . ya the perspective will be changed, but at least u can make yourself comfortable & can see the difference.…"
Tiberman Sajiwan Ramyead replied to Tiberman Sajiwan Ramyead's discussion Hyperfocal distance - see my photo '18th century anchorage point'"Hi Supriya - believe you me, I have tried the manual with tighter f too. It must have been camera shake - what with waves crashing over the place every few minutes (even at low tide) and I had too stand up VERY QUICKLY.But I'll try with my…"

its my very humble suggestion to move from the kit lense . . .. & hyperfocal focusing is not dat easy to achieve as it seems,, it needs lot of practice . . . . u can use smaller 'f' &…"

18th century anchorage point - Souillac village, extreme south of Mauritius
If you open my heart you'll find Souillac written inside - my birthplace. The anchorage point is at the hyperfocal distance; f/8.0, 18mm, certre weighted, -0.7 exposure, bean bag, AE-AF lock and recompose. I lay flat on wet rocks, to say the least.…

Ryan said… - No problem Tiberman :-) Moon shots you mean? Bring your longest lens, if you have tele converter then use that. Set your camera to manual mode (M) then set the shutter speed to a number higher than the effective length of your lens. Spot or center weighted metering usually work best. I usually do f5.6 with ISO 400 and 1/640-ish seconds. Adjust your ISO until satisfactory then you'll have no problem ;-)

Welcome to PictureSocial
I use Nikon Capture NX2 and it is great. You can download the latest version from your Local Nikon site.
To use it, I have created a discussion group on this site, on there is some basic ideas on how to use it.
Now you mentioned Lightroom, version three is great as well, again you can download a trial version from your adobe site.
Any more info, get in touch
Fred

DJK left a comment for Ron Bird"Hey Ron,
Saw your note in the friend request, but can't seem to find it again. I think it was along the lines of gear unique to night photography. A solid, stable tripod is critical. A remote shutter and a flashlight so that you can see in the…"
