On a whim, I submitted this image in the DPReview World Photography Day mini photo challenge and it was chosen as a winner! The funny thing is that it was a gray overcast day and I was stuck at home with a new camera and lens. How fun!

Great idea for a thread! My favorite image was taken in March of 1984 shortly after I purchased my first 35mm SLR while stationed in Korea. It was snowing like crazy. Someone was walking down the road right outside my barracks. This is a scan of a print. Pentax Super Program with the legendary...

I know that fixed lens cameras are fashion statements, but I was seriously considering one as an every day carry for my retirements walks. Fortunately, Fuji announced the X-E5 and 35mm equivalent pancake which is a rangefinder ILC version of the X100VI. The X-E5 was released last Thursday...

Wow, that's awesome! I purchased two 128GB cards when we went to the Netherlands in April for tulip season. I thought those were huge! Biggest cards I ever used. The latest Fuji bodies are 40mp resulting in 80mb uncompressed RAW images.

I'm a native Chicagoan and still have family there. @Clovishound Chicago has actually had population growth the last two years with the building trend accelerating. My oldest bought a condo (for way too much money IMO) literally in the center of the Loop, wound up getting a job offer to relocate...

You shoot jpegs? 😜

Newegg is running a special for an annual subscription for the Creative Cloud 1TB package for US$94.99. Use code FTTEU7578 to get the lower price. Link here.

I shoot JPEG+RAW. That lets me easily share a JPEG reflecting a recipe via the X App. I have LrC setup to import without processing and the previews also reflect the recipe. Here is an admittedly crappy set of images in LrC where I was trying 3 different recipes. It is one reason why I have the...

@crashton and I are in a similar situation. I was a long time user of Nikon's and bought my first Fuji in 2015 to have a small travel camera. Ultimately I wound up selling my D800e and settling on Fuji. @Browncoat is spot on with the Picture Controls in Nikon. It takes more work with how Nikon...

B&H has a 6TB Crucial X10 portable SSD on sale for $138 off. Great deal on a portable drive. If I hadn't purchased a 4TB Samsung T9 a couple months ago, I'd be all over it. Link here.

Are you using the "Photo Merge > HDR" option in LrC with bracketed images? If so, make sure that you select “Alignment”. This will low Lightroom to automatically align the images during the merge process, but you can fine-tune the alignment if necessary. The other thing is to try to ensure you...

Last month, Laurie and I were fortunate to go back to the Netherlands during peak tulip season. It was my retirement trip and our second (and third) visit to the famous Keukenhof Gardens. For those who may not be familiar with Keukenhof, each year they hand plant and remove approximately 7...

Thank you!! I'm going to have to share this with Laurie. She is a decedent of William Penn.
