This monthly assignment has started. Let's see your flying birds.

I watched a couple of YouTube videos. The Image Trace tool doesn't have as many options as the one in Inkscape (which is also a free vector program) and certainly not as good as the one in Illustrator. As for Discord, I'm not too thrilled using it for its community. At least I'm in a couple of...

Yes, there are bugs getting identified. Hopefully they will be able to resolve them quickly.

It's my understanding that files from versions 1 & 2 work fine in the new version, but files from the new version aren't backwards compatible. Image trace is a new added feature but doesn't offer too many setting options.

Glad to hear you decided not to trespass. There are people who don't have any second thoughts about doing so. But with today's cameras, you just never know. Looks like it would have been a terrific scene. Maybe consider asking them for permission sometime?

Is the name of the company listed on that head? Sometimes quick release plates need to be made by the manufacturer. It definitely doesn't take an Arca Swiss plate and doesn't look like a Manfrotto plate either.

In the past, I used Cokin filters with my 35mm Nikon film body. No issues with it. Although I still have them, I never used them on any DSLR. For Cokin, you can purchase the filter rings to match the size threads on your lenses (no step up or step down rings needed but costs more due to buying...

At the end of the 1990's, I took a B&W adult photography class at my local high school. They offer adult education in a variety of fields. I found I preferred T-Max much more than Tri-X. For those who aren't aware, T-Max has more contrast than Tri-X. Lots of fun memories printing B&W images in...

Hello and welcome to Nikonites! Glad to hear you are going to pursue your love of photographing the stars! The D850 is a fantastic camera. Have fun and enjoy your new journey.

That is absolutely adorable!

Does the lens have any hyperfocal distance markings on it? If so, there is a way to manually focus using that gauge on the lens. Most manufacturers removed the hyperfocal markings when AF DSLR lenses emerged. But on many older manual focus lenses, you will see the marks.

Although I have a few different ND filters, including one that is a variable ND filter, the only one at hand when I took these was a 10-stop. So I chose to use it anyway. However, I do want to find my 3-stop, 6-stop, and variable ND filters. The nice thing with most screw on filters is if you...

That 'fan' display on the top didn't go over well with a lot of owners. I had to sit down with the owner's manual to figure it out.
