    Aurora Borealis alert: evening of October 30, 2021

    Terrible in NY but getting back to normal. We live on a lake so I'm used to our 'regulars'. Mid to late summer we got crazy with what I think are Asian Tiger mosquitoes. They have been around for a few years now but not like this year. Smaller, aggressive, and they feed in the daylight too. If...

    AF question on the D500

    unfortunately r+f and f+r don't work with bbf, only shutter button mode. I think Cindy switches between shutter and bb but I get myself all confused, lol. I have to stick with bbf full time. @hark , something else to play with is menu a4. The purpose of this setting is to decide how long the...

    Tamron SP AF 70-300mm f/4.0-5.6 Di VC USD got 2 questions

    The moon is sunlit and it moves pretty quickly so you don't want to go too slow on the shutter or it will blur. A tripod helps but you should be able to get a decent handheld shot. Manual mode of course. I took this a long time ago with the SP 70-300. It is cropped quite a bit and taken on a...

    User Banks

    Cindy @hark , well I ended up getting a d500. A few things I've learned. You asked above about how to get out of a memory bank and back to regular. You probably figured it out by now, but you can't. You are always in a bank. One video suggested thinking of them as 'cameras'. Camera A, Camera B...

    Tutorial - How to post images inside your post

    @hark , I agree with Fred. No adjustments by isp or connection equipment. I'm joining in late here, but I have some thoughts. @Skwaz I have a right click photo analyzer on my browser. When I check the image right above as it is in your post, I get 400x600. When I click the image to get the full...

    Sugared up

    @Dangerspouse , where were you? Wife and I stopped in real quick and got 8 boxes of windmill cookies for gifts and a bag of stuffed donuts for the ride home. For everyone, this is a locally famous family owned Dutch bakery in Dangerspouse's stomping grounds around Sussex, New Jersey. About a 40...

    Transit of Mercury, anyone?

    Great work Jake! Of course it was cloudy up here in NY. I got 3 shots through thinner cloud moments. Not even worth putting them together. Without a good series, they could pass for sensor dust. I don't have the right filter. I used an n400, set focus for infinity, 1/8000, f32 and quickly...

    Adorama D7200 Refurbs $549

    Just noticed this morning, August 21 2019, that Adorama has D7200 Nikon refurbished cameras for $549! That is $145 cheaper than B&H's current refurb price of $694. I jumped on a Adorama refurb deal like this a few years ago for a d7200 and I got an unusual higher shutter count of around 2k...

    Problem exporting in Lightroom.

    Some more thoughts.... Try a jpg export. Try opening the tiff file in photoshop Check the folder where you exported the tiff to. Are there any .xmp files in the folder? I don't use them and don't know a lot about them, but just wondering if their presence could mess you up. Check catalog...
