Nikon SLR Cameras

Does anyone have any set of interesting Picture Controls to share for a Nikon?

Was just wondering if I could get some. For better colors or something. Or anything that's different from what's preset in the camera.

Yes - here's a link to download some which emulate film stock;

This is the Flickr thread from the author of the controls;

just a bit down the page it tells you how to install these onto the camera and how to use them with Capture NX.

Edit: These are for a Nikon D300 which is what I use - I have no idea if they work with a D5100 or if the procedure is the same for installation.

The absolute best "Picture Control" is learning about light, composition and exposure. With good lighting, good exposure and good composition your pictures will be much better. I'm a "True Believer" in these two sayings:

"It isn't the camera its the photographer."

"Get it right in the camera."

When photographing outdoors on a nice day use a Circular Polarizer. It will darken a blue sky, enhance colors, remove/reduce glare/reflections from water, sand, glass, snow and painted metal.
