Can anyone recommend software to create a real estate virtual tour? This would be to use still images in a slide show in such a way as the simulate video. I know you can do it in Premier Pro but it is very time consuming. There is lots of related software out there just trying to get ideas on...

Looking for someone with experience using After Effects for video editing. When I import a video into this program and try to add, for example noise reduction to the file, the noise reduction is only applied to the first frame. I can't figure out how to get it applied to the entire video. thanks...

Can any of you recommend video editing programs and noise reduction tools? I know Adobe has them but just looking around for what others might be using. I am doing real estate video and can't use anything but available lighting, which in some cases causes my ISO to jump to 12,800. thanks

I am currently shooting rodeo with the D810 and a 70-200mm f/2.8 lens. My lens is not long enough so I end up heavily cropping most all of my shots. Also, the D810 does not handle noise very well. My question, if I go to the D500 (supposed to be more of a sports camera and handle noise better)...

Okay, I’ve been a still photographer for years and have recently gotten into real estate photography. I was just given a job photographing a listing but was also asked to do a video walk through. I have never used the video function on my D810 and had to get the manual out to learn just the...

I typically save my Lightroom processed photos with the .xmp file. I think I read recently where producing/keeping that file might slow LR down some. Is keeping the .xmp really needed? My catalogue is saved on my computer hard drive and backed up to the cloud each time I exit LR. Thanks!

I am currently shooting night rodeo and most times in poor lighting with a D810. ISOs with a 1/640 shutter speed and an f/2.8 lens are hitting 8,000 plus. I am not happy with the quality, specifically the noise that my D810 creates under these circumstances and am considering a Z6. Does anyone...

Does anyone in this group have experience in rodeo, specifically night rodeo photography? I began shooting rodeos this past year and have done pretty well but am always looking for improvements. I struggle with noise and the balance between having noise and using noise reduction and thereby...

Is there any advantage in using the DX setting in camera vs post process cropping to turn a 200mm lens into 300mm? I would think the resulting IQ would be exactly the same but just want to be sure I am not missing something. I shoot rodeo and crop a lot so just wanted to be sure I am getting the...

I am shooting side by side, same lens, low light, ISO 6400, shutter 1/640, f/4 but get different results between my d810 and D610. The D610 is noticeably darker and underexposed. All settings are manual, WB is the same, etc. Any ideas?

I would like to offer my clients a social media digital download. I want the image to look good online but not good or big enough to print. I’ve read a lot about the right size for Facebook and Instagram but wanted to get some other ideas from this group. I’m using Lightroom and resizing to...

When you take a portrait of a dog and its human, where is your focal point? I am using single point focusing and usually focus on the dog's eyes, however, would it be better to focus on the person's eyes? What about when you have multiple subjects in a shot, where do you focus? I always try and...

I've recently gotten into pet photography and am having issues regarding the proper focus mode for a running dog. I am using a D810 and am shooting in AF-C mode at auto area AF but the camera is not changing focus fast enough as the dog moves. I get one or two decent shots out of 8-10 in a given...

I've recently purchased a D810 and so far am loving it except for and much to my surprise, the fact that it doesn't support a wireless infrared remote. I've looked online and found several options and price points and think I have settled on RFN-4 by SMDV. It is $64. Has anyone used this...

My 28-300 lens, about four years old now when auto-focused at a distance anywhere from 28mm to 75mm will show the focus ring at about 50 feet or less. The photos it takes appear to be sharp but the focus ring has clearly gotten out of whack. At the longer end about 75mm and longer, it properly...
