This is just a test.

Do images need to be 1024 x 1024 for a jpeg, or is that the maximum size?

I was thinking about making the 2 hour drive down to cruise the trail, has anyone been there lately? Are there many birds currently there? Thank you!

Hey there! Does anyone have a strong opinion as to which external hard drives they will entrust their digital files too? We have had them crash in the past and right now are using a Western Digital version. I need to purchase another one and am wondering what others are using successfully...

Hey everyone! As an amateur, do any of you insure your gear? A homeowner's rider will not work at this point. Who insures this stuff if you are not a professional? Thank you for your help!

Hey everyone, I am sorry that I have not yet been able to get any recent pictures from my wife up yet. That said, I recently purchased (awaiting delivery) of a Nikon 600MM F/4 VR lens, not the newest one but the one just before Nikon's latest version. My wife has a Nikon D850, and I purchased a...

We gave this a try last night without success. Just ended up with some pinpricks of light. Using a D850 and a Nikon 14-24 2.8 on a tripod. Set at infinity and various ISO setting ranging from 800-3200 and about 36 seconds on the shutter "speed".

Is it true that Nikon has proprietary software to convert RAW Files to JPEG? Is this a step that must be taken before utilizing Photoshop to ensure true color transfer? In RAW on her MacBookPro the colors look vibrant and rich, however when we send them off in JPEG to print the colors and...
