Some notes on Nikon cameras and HDR (I have F-lenses)

Posted by jpluimers on 2026/05/18

Still using Nikon F-mount DSLRs here, though I might upgrade to Nikon Z-mount and appropriate Z-mount adapter to continue using my F-lenses.

Anyway: some links on HDR, as for older bodies that require extra steps.

DPReview archives: how accessible will they be?

Posted by jpluimers on 2023/04/10

There are various posts indicating part or all of DPreview will be archived:

  1. [Wayback/Archive] DPReview closure: an update: Digital Photography Review
  2. [Wayback/Archive] The Wayback Machine on Twitter: “@jpluimers @geerlingguy @internetarchive We are “on it””
  3. [Wayback/Archive] DPReview – Archiveteam
  4. [Wayback/Archive] Digicam Finder · The most complete and accurate digital camera data source on the internet (1994 — 2023)  which is open source at [Wayback/Archive] open-product-data/digital-cameras: The most complete and accurate digital camera* data on the internet, assembled and maintained by the community. (via [Wayback/Archive] Good news — the camera feature search and all data is saved | Migration | DPRevived)

I wonder how accessible each form of archive will be. The last entry in the above list is very accessible, but only has the camera data (which is a very important aspect, but do not underestimate the forum with millions of posts either).

In deze tijden van desinformatie belangrijker dan ooit “Zo check je waar die foto vandaan komt: foto’s controleren met een paar muisklikken.” (Peter Burger op Twitter) #OSINT

Posted by jpluimers on 2022/04/08

(English link for OSINT video/photo checking at the bottom of the post)

[Wayback/Archive] Peter Burger on Twitter: “Zo check je waar die foto vandaan komt: foto’s controleren met een paar muisklikken.”

Met voorbeeld video’s hoe je dit met foto’s kunt doen, en een wat langere YouTube video hoe je dat ook met video kunt doen via [Wayback/Archive] Peter Burger on Twitter: “@ManoelServal Hebben we net een video over gemaakt! …”

[Wayback/Archive] Hoe check je video’s? – YouTube

Soms kom je op internet video’s tegen waarvan je denkt: klopt dat wel? In deze video van Nieuwscheckers zie je hoe je heel simpel kan controleren waar een video vandaan komt. http://www.nieuwscheckers.nl

Verderop in de replies een eenvoudige manier om video’s terug te vinden [Wayback/Archive] Peter Burger on Twitter: “@CarelBrendel Met gewoon screenshots maken en dan reverse image search kom je vaak een heel eind. Wil je meer dan is er speciaal voor video de Amnesty YouTube Data Viewer en vooral de geweldige plugin van Invid: …”:

[Wayback/Archive] InVID Verification Plugin – InVID project

A plugin to debunk fake news and to verify videos and images

It is available on that page for both Firefox and Chrome.

The last link also pointed to a tweet English content on tracing the source of video/photo material [Wayback/Archive] Jan Vergouwe on Twitter: “Ook benieuwd wat je zou kunnen doen om te checken of een foto of video nep of echt is? Een goed te volgen (in Engels wel) introductie…”

[Wayback/Archive] Shayan Sardarizadeh on Twitter: “Are you keen to learn how to use free, open source tools to investigate and verify videos and images online? @_kRaay @BenDoBrown @paulybrown and I have made a video with some tips about how we in @BBCNews verify online content. You might actually like it! …”

For both FX and DX lenses: printable Nikon lens hood templates – via Nikon Rumors

Posted by jpluimers on 2015/03/23

Since I posted In case I ever misplace/break one: Free printable cardboard lens hoods, I found that Nikon Rumours had covered that too.

Now the added even more coverage in Printable Nikon lens hood templates | Nikon Rumors.

Which is kind of neat as now there are two kinds of printable lens hoods: DX (for my D300) and FX (for my D700).

PS: Missed Schedule fired again on this post as it was originally scheduled for 6:00 some European time zone (not sure which, as WordPress.com is unclear about that though).

Some paper tricks for your digital camera (in my case: Nikon D700/D300, SB-900 and various lenses)

Posted by jpluimers on 2014/08/25

Sometimes cheap paper stuff beats having no tools at all.

Two things you can use with your Nikon:

For semi- or professional white balance, you’d probably use the WhiBal from Michael Tapes (the same guys that created LensAlign).

In case I ever misplace/break one: Free printable cardboard lens hoods

Posted by jpluimers on 2014/07/11

Like a lens cap, lens hoods are also easy to misplace, loose or break.

For most DLSR lenses, there are Free printable cardboard lens hoods.
