    PhotoShop Elements 11 question

    Good morning. I've been using this software for some time now, and it works well enough. One thing drive me crazy, and I'm wondering if there's an easy fix. When I line up a folder to edit and finish with the picture, I seem to have to go back to that folder and select the next photo in line...

    Would you or would you not ...?

    Awhile back, I picked up a Nikon 18-140mm lens while buying a D7200 body. The camera is terrific, and the lens is proving its usefulness and versatility on various travel junkets. I dropped the telephoto recently while switching out lenses in the Grand Canyon; it didn't fall far, and it was...

    WTB: Sigma 10-20mm wide angle lens (or equivalent)

    A discontinued previous version would work as well; I am open to suggestions. If you have something lying around that you've replaced with something more up to date, give me a shout. Thanks.

    150-600mm telephoto lens: Sigma vs. Tamron?

    Just curious whether anyone has an opinion, considered or otherwise, as to which of the two 150-600mm telephoto lenses that are on the market right now, and for the identical price, apparently, is the better value: the Sigma or the Tamron? I've read some of the online comparisons, of course, and...

    D7200 or D5 ... or hold pat?

    Good morning. I'm currently using a D5500 and appreciate its versatility; it's an excellent camera for the money and serves me well. I do quite a bit of landscape and travel photography, am out on the trails and back country quite a bit, as well as moving about in various ports of call, and am...

I shot Canon equipment for many years (remember film?) and switched over, kicking and screaming, to a Nikon D70 digital camera 15 or so years ago. It took me a year to...
