This is the inside roof of a small pavilion. The eerie glow was from light reflecting off of ice on the ground. I could have removed the glow during post processing but decided it adds an element of weirdness. And I noticed a new memorial bench. The person chose a fantastic place--right...

Took this the other day. I turned my car around and went back to ask if the flag could be taken down. The person was very humble, and despite the freezing temps while they were dressed in a Hawaiian shirt, shorts, and bare feet, he/she went right over and took it down. It's not the kind of thing...

Seeing this today bothered me so much that I turned my car around and went back. After asking the person if it could please be taken down, he/she immediately removed it. I also gave the location of the only flag collection box that I knew of. The person nodded in agreement. No attitude. No...

Wow, the Nikon D7200 has been lowered to $696.95 for a new body. ::what:: For anyone who is sitting on the fence, this body is supposed to be discontinued. It's a dual card slot DX body whereas the D7500 has a single slot. There might be other dealers offering the same price as B&H for a new...

I'm on a computer so I had to scroll down to see the entire pic. As I got to the bottom, my head turned sideways looking at it's foot. I swear it reminds me of a yellow Mickey Mouse glove! Web image:

Has anyone ever gotten frames for Photoshop that can be used for holiday images? For example, I'm looking for a PCC frame of a holiday wreath where I can insert a photo in the middle. But I'm not just looking for holiday frames. There must be some web site that offers PCC frames either for free...

This is my folder of images. When my D7200 was in Aperture Priority, I changed the _DSC to _72D (7200 DX abbreviated). I wanted a letter to be the last assigned value. Below is the folder of images. All the ones shot as _72D were taken while I was in Aperture Priority. The others were taken...

If your subject is located beneath trees, the camera might focus on the leaf reflections instead of your subject. I had that happen with one particular bench that was sitting beneath 2 trees. I could see the bench in the ball with my naked eye, but the camera almost always focused on the leaves...

Eventually I want to photograph all of the memorial benches at a local park. So today I used my lens ball. These are just a couple of the images from today's outing.

I have two that are favorites...for different reasons. One thing I noticed while going back through this year's images is that my style has changed/evolved as I continue to grow in my knowledge. This first one was edited with Color Efex Pro 4. Although I dabbled with this plug in previously...

Here are a few more memorial bench photos taken the other afternoon. I was hoping to get photos of other benches, but the light wasn't reflecting in the right place. So I wound up taking additional photos of the same benches I photographed earlier this month. I didn't add any sunbursts to these...

This was taken yesterday afternoon--he is a 92-year old WWII Veteran (Marines). What an amazing gentleman. I asked permission to photograph him from behind and let him know he'd appear as a silhouette against the water. I wanted to enhance the sun's rays a little. This is a screen shot of the...

There isn't anything on my list (yet) for 2019 with the exception of a Think Tank Emergency Cover in a medium size. I bought the small size back in October and decided to also get the medium. My local store was out of them so I'm waiting to hear when it's back in stock...

92 year old WWII Veteran who served in the Marines.

Here are a couple from last night's Christmas Eve Candlelight Service. My D750 with my 70-200mm f/2.8 zoom was mounted on a tripod so I put my 24-120mm f/4 VR on my D610. I haven't used the D610 for quite a while but was pleasantly surprised to be able to handhold this combo in such low light...

Here are a couple from yesterday. I was able to take the Advent Wreath photo with the candles lit. :) Decades ago there was a Men's Steel Choir that performed at a variety of places. It is now called the Men of Harmony. One of the choir members asked if I could take some pics when they...

If you are editing your NEF's in either Lightroom or Adobe Camera RAW, then you should choose a Profile from the options given. This is an old screen shot from a previous version of ACR, but the principle is the same. You should find choices such as Adobe Landscape, Adobe Color, Camera Standard...

Yesterday I stopped by my church scoping out different perspectives than I normally shoot. I am hoping to retake this Advent Wreath on Sunday with the candles lit. No doubt the lit candles would adversely affect the metering so I put this on my phone for quick access.

Not sure how Nikon will progress with their entry level models. The D7200 *might* be the last of the dual-slot lower end bodies. https://nikonrumors.com/2018/12/18/nikon-d5500-and-d7200-dslr-cameras-officially-discontinued.aspx/

Some of these are cross-posted in my regular thread. They are all from a park where people can get memorial benches for loved ones who are no longer with us. The photos without benches were taken from the same area. It's only the 3rd time I've had the opportunity to take photos with a mackerel...
