    And one to add to the really strange critters. This is a squash bug nymph. I have a lot of the adults in the yard, but this is the first nymph I've seen. Had to do some research to find out what it was. For some reason it doesn't really photograph that well. I guess it's too busy to clearly...

    Post Your Automotive Shots!

    The turnaround happened right around the time that "smart" phones hit the market. Coincidence?

    Well, Debby played havoc with my small wildflower plot. Been waiting all week to post this: Things broke for a while today, and the bees were hungry.

    Date/Time Getting reset every time I remove battery

    I don't believe the internal battery is user replaceable.

    Fx and Dx lens conversions

    Check out the link I posted in my last post. It looks exactly like the photo the OP posted. This is the image from that link. Like I said, it's for mounting a Nikon G lens to a Fuji X series body.

    Fx and Dx lens conversions

    I'm afraid there is no way to avoid the vignetting of a DX lens mounted on an FX camera body. The lens simply does not have enough coverage to fully cover a full sized sensor, as they are designed for cameras with a sensor half that size. You can still use a DX lens on an FX camera, it just has...

    When we always said when I used to to dive the rivers here, looking for artifacts, "I'd rather be lucky than good any day.".

    So, were those done with the flash/softbox setup you posted a picture of?

    Feel free to post them. I don't consider it a hijack.

    After hurricane Debby moves on through, I'll have to try some off camera flash macro work. If nothing else, I can try some wildflowers. Occasionally, I get a bug that sits still for quite a while. I do like it when they are still enough that I can set up a tripod. Even though the flash stops...

    Anyone having trouble with checkerboard artifacts in the backgrounds with Topaz AI?

    Just an update. I'm still having this issue. My subscription for updates ran out earlier this year. I am loathe to spend the money for upgrades without knowing that the issue has been resolved. I currently use the standalone for any images that contain significant shadows. That is a majority of...

    Don't look Ethel! I had to brave a light rain to get these. The camera and lens are supposed to be weather sealed. The flash, not so much. I went out to check on things and discovered this pile up. Initially there was a fourth individual that looked like he wanted to join in. By the time I got...

    I am currently shooting macro with the Z7ii and a Godox TT685 on camera. I am also using a homemade swiss style diffuser. I will probably pull the trigger on an AK diffuser in the near future. I would like to explore off camera configurations. The issue with that is that most insects won't stay...

    What lens are trying to mount on which camera body? Also which adapter, specifically, did you get?

    Backpack or shoulder bag?

    Well, I carry enough gear to necessitate a backpack. They are much easier to carry a lot of gear than a shoulder bag. It is, however, more difficult to get to the gear when needed. I switched to a backpack when I got the 200-500 F4. It wouldn't fit in my shoulder bag. I now have two bodies...

    What's up with Youtube?

    That's another sore point. When uploading a video, it gives me a choice of three autogenerated thumbnails from, apparently random, sections of the video, or I can upload my own. I would like to be able to choose which image was used for a thumbnail. Unfortunately, to upload my own image, which...

    Nikon D7500 stuck on "Focus mode/AF-area mode" screen. Any help please.

    Sometimes an issue is simple and can be easily remedied by the user. Sometimes it requires a trip back to the mother ship. Hope you get this sorted without too much of a drain on your wallet.
