Hello, I'm sure this has been discussed many times, but I was wondering what the deal is with taking pictures from OUTSIDE of a US military base, of the military planes in the USA. I know that you can get yelled at outside of a civilian airport, and I can only imagine what might happen outside of a ...

RE: Masterclass: Nightspotting/ Nightphotography

I'm more one for long exposures at night (showing a "path" of the plane landing/taking off). For this, I bring my Nikon D90, 24-7mm lens, tripod, and remote release. I'm usually at around f/8 and over 10 seconds, and due to the long exposure, a low ISO works well, making the picture good quality. I ...

RE: Nikon D90 Vs D300

Ok, thanks guys.
I guess my question was, 'is the difference in camera quality worth the difference in price', and I'm pretty sure the answer is yes; the increased price of the D300 is worth it, right?
Thanks for your help.

Nikon D90 Vs D300

Hey guys, For the past couple of years I've been using a Nikon D70, and I've decided that it's time I get myself a new camera.
