I completely understand. Thanks for the thought.

The easiest way, IMO, is to use manual then run either the shutter speed, or the Fstop up and down. Alternately, you could use the exposure compensation button to add and subtract exposure regardless of what exposure mode you are in. If you are asking how much to bracket, that is up to you and...

Thanks, Fred BTW his name was Fred also.

One of the fondest memories I have of my father was when I was in my early teens. He had Thursdays off and one day he decided it would be more educational for us to drive down from Daytona to the Cape and watch one of the launches. We were just across the river from the launch pad. He took some...

We have a raptor rescue center in our area. They give demonstrations with their "ambassador birds". It gives a great opportunity for photographing these beautiful animals. While they do have tethers and radio locators on them, you can get close up pictures of them that would be extremely...

Well, even if I couldn't remember which was which, looking through the viewfinder, or the back display, a glance at a key element would tell me which was which. Since there are only 3 on my Z5, I have no trouble keeping them straight in my mind.

Well, for me, it isn't a matter of understanding the settings, it's the fact that sometimes I need a combination of settings quickly, that would take me time to go through the various menus to set. If I'm shooting static birds and a flying bird comes into range unexpectedly, I don't have time to...

#4 definitely for me.

Just for clarity, my comments weren't directed at you, blackstar, but the situation. You made it clear in the first post those weren't your images.

In order to make a fair comparison, I would take at least 4 pictures of the same exact subject, preferably a static one, using a tripod to exclude any camera shake. Two, one at 500mm and maximum aperture and a second stopped down one or two stops. I would then take two more at 600mm, again, one...

I would agree that number 2 looks a little sharper. I would point out that number one is noticeably noisier, which introduces another variable to the mix, unless that was the point of the exercise. Also, these are small images. To adequately determine if an image is really sharp, I normally...

Gigapixel is the least used of the three for me. Much of that is that I don't have a lot of cases where I need what it will do. I would recommend you try it on old photos. Here's a picture of me, my dad and Bossy. I ran it through Gigapixel, which automatically upsized it 2x. I then resized it...

EXIF shows a different time stamp. Not by much, but different.

You could try sending it to me in a personal message. Not sure how large a file you can attach. If all you are looking to do right now is to post it here in Landscape Photos, it won't really matter after it's downsized for posting.

Keep in mind that Topaz is specific editing, versus a general editing program. It is very good at sharpening, upscaling and denoise. You cannot do things like basic adjustments of color, contrast, shadows etc. Most of the good general editing software packages will allow you to do operations...

SPV, if you are looking for some editing software and don't want to buy it right now, you might look at Nikon's NX Studio. It is free and available on their website. NX Studio download page It will not do many of the things that Lightroom, Photoshop, Topaz, and other software will, but it's...

He might have bitten off more than he could chew. I know snakes can get down some amazingly large prey, but that seems a bit extreme. Do you know if he succeeded?
