So I think the Camera my gf's ma is giving to us is D80, which is only 10 megapixels, the P510 I have is at 16, and I know megapixels aren't that important but I am interested in large prints, can someone who knows more about specs tell me if its much better than the 510 I currently use?

http://www.nikonusa.com/en/Nikon-Pro...LPIX-P510.html
The P600 has 60x Zoom, the 510 only has 42x Zoom, for some reason I have a strong urge to upgrade to the P600. .Rugby Crew

Trying to read up more on all the technical jargon for cameras, It seems my concern with the D80 being a downgrade from P510 is a silly notion, I will keep both obviously but my hopes were to be able to switch over to a DSLR without having to drop alot of money, taxes this year on my house are like 5 facking grand.
90% of the shots I take if anyone hasn't noticed yet are landscape or wildlife related. Mangelsen makes me as hard as Banan, no homo. The P510 has been perfect so far with the exception of shutter speed, images coming across as washed out (user error probably) and my inability to make the background blurry, with the animal as the main focus.Rugby Crew

Hnng dat 10k reward.
I was going to just buy the book, but the $50 pledge reward seems pretty legit.
So you are working for a goal of 5 grand? To make the e-book official or some chit? Or is that to get it published? I don't get the end goal.
Nm, read it at the end, you just want money you greedy bastard.
Reward tiers seem reasonable to me bro, First tier seems kinda silly, $3 more bucks wouldnt deter someone who legitimately wants to read the book.Rugby Crew

Nice!! I love that pic too
lol yeah it's about funding my expeditions which were the reason I could even make the book in the first place. But you do actually get the e-book for only $2... so it's a reasonable deal all around IMHO. There's no possible way I'll ever break even on this one though. I've spent several tens of thousands of dollars on photography so far. It would be nice to recoup some costs though...All Hail the Ultimate Master, "I Know More Than The Generals Do", Donald Camacho Dr. Pepper X-Ray AR-15 Trump

I'm definetly gonna buy your book when it comes out FRep. Can't wait!
On another note...nikon users...have you ever baught from a not nikon authorized retailer?
I've been looking on newegg, and newegg has their cameras and lenses for quite cheaper (new) for some nikon bodies. I baught from newegg for a computer before with a few problems but at the end of the day its fine...works well now with warranty. Further I also did buy some headphones and stuff there...
Just curious because i'm wondering wether its worth looking into newegg and crutchfield for gear."Learn from Yesterday, Live for Today, Hope for Tomorrow"

Heres where things get tricky.
Doing some research, things are cheaper on newegg but it is sold by a third party retailer then completed by newegg....
I'm not sure if its trustwhile. For example a nikon d800 which still goes for about 3 grand is about 200 bucks cheaper sold from some wierd system:http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16830113362
Further if you google that same product in google shops, you get some other retailers...like this one..http://www.abesofmaine.com/item.do?item=NKD800
I'm not planning on buying anything from anyone anytime soon (unless some ridiculously awesome deal shows up anywhere), but i just find it quite...too good to be true."Learn from Yesterday, Live for Today, Hope for Tomorrow"

As I said Newegg is one of the top 3 online retailers. Meaning they stand behind the products you buy (unless otherwise specified). If you can't buy with confidence from them, then don't buy online.
I purchased product from all of the top 3 (Amazon, Newegg, B&H) as well as Crutchfield which gave me a 30 day money back guarantee which they honored "no questions asked." These are the best there are brah, that's all I can tell you.🎥

Basically. Once your eyes adjusted you see that it's not that dark out. Then once you realize it's actually the stars in the sky lighting everything is when your mind = blown.
Most, if not all DSLRs can leave the shutter open for up to 30s right out of the box. All I do is set it on my tripod, set it for a two second timer (takes the pictures two seconds after I press the shutter), and do a 360 and walk away.

Timer after shutter is clicked, facking genius, I never thought about something like that.
I understand bro, I was just messing with you. If you make it big like Mangelsen however I will be gunning for my 0.5% stock. I am curious how much that guy comes out ahead with, his prints are thousands of dollars, but his gear and trips cant be cheap either, coupled with the fact that I doubt he sells hundreds of prints a day.
Also I will want "BlueFuckingSasquatch" as the name under the e-book Thank you.
I don't want to dig through the last 100 posts for the answer but real quick, what is a dependable travel tripod? I would need it for landscape shots and night sky shots. Ideally compact so I can hike with it. Would rather not spend a ton but I know generally you get what you pay for.Rugby Crew

There are a number of members here that are using MeFoto products. On their recommendation I purchased one myself for hitting the mountains here.
They have several sizes
The BackPacker - ($140)
The Roadtrip ($190)
The Globetrotter. ($210)
I picked up the Roadtrip. It can handle up to 17 lbs, weighs 3.6 lbs and easily fits in my bag.
I am very happy with the performance and the price.

To add, I have a globetrotter (sort of pictured in my avi?). It is slightly heavier but it actually feels like you are carrying something real. I enjoy it...easy to carry around...and even though they specifically say not to walk around with the camera on it...i do it all the time.
Also its quite easy to set up/dislodge."Learn from Yesterday, Live for Today, Hope for Tomorrow"

I love B&H. Infact I drive in sometimes to NYC just to buy there. They are great for everything including computer parts. THey should get more notice outside the photo/video community.
I never knew about the amazon trusted partner stuff...will check out!
Does it seem that nikon authorized dealership titling matters much? It seems it matters for the warranties and thats about it."Learn from Yesterday, Live for Today, Hope for Tomorrow"

Godaddy was going to charge me $90 to renew my domain since it expired (Wife and I combined accounts so payment didn't go through on time) and since a domain is free with hosting most places, I told godaddy to fist themselves.
Go check out my new site brahs, let me know what you think. Kept it simple because that's the style I like.

The sensor from a D4 is pointless without the features of the D4, imo.
It's a novelty item at best for the look at the same cost of the D800 (probably less now that the 810 is here and the used 800s are up for grabs) which I think is an exponentially better camera.*Misc Photography Crew*

I transferred all my domains off of GoDaddy to NameCheap. Easier management, cheaper, and never have to worry about renewing with a promo code just to get good prices. You actually save more if you keep your domain long term with NameCheap. GoDaddy is great for people who buy domains and plan on selling it within the year since new .com registrations can be had for a couple of bucks. Renewal is where they screw you over. WhoIS privacy is also easier to manage through NameCheap and is actually done through the their own control panel and not the Domains By Proxy 3rd-party garbage that GoDaddy pushes on you. I was tired of logging in through a separate account.
As for your site, I like that you kept it simple. The only major nitpick I have is the font selection for headers and body text. Those fonts are nice, but they don't really fit the overall minimalistic, clean style. They are a bit too inappropriately whimsical in the presence of your serious logo and footer font. I feel like they should match your logo's font and footer's font instead.
The navigation links text could use some increased tracking/letter spacing. They look a bit bunched up and hard to read. Some of the letters look like they are colliding into each other. I'm viewing through Mac OSX using Google Chromium, just for your reference.
Lastly, I'm not really a fan of the gray borders in the photography and GFX design pages. I think they just add cluttering to the look and detract from Web 2.0 style. For the photography page, I would do a centerized 2x2 grid to display the images, and use bigger images instead of small thumbnails. Maybe have the category names layered somewhere onto the images instead of floating on the side. For the GFX design page, do the same, but keep it a simple 3x1 grid instead. I think the current layout leaves too much whitespace on the right side, making the left feel a bit too heavy.
Other than that, nice photos and graphic design work, mane.?
