These are a few from today's car show. This was my first attempt at car photos, but I did quite a bit of research to find what I liked. I hadn't taken too many pics when it started to sprinkle. Earlier this morning I picked up a small Think Tank Emergency Rain Cover. It's a brand new product and...

Since I knew I'd be taking photos of the car show, I chose mode of transportation as this week's topic. However, I don't want this (or any photos from the car show) to be considered for this week's challenge. Here I expected this topic would receive several submissions. You don't even need to...

Are you choosing one of the profiles? Some are Adobe Profiles and others are Camera Profiles. For example, the Landscape profiles tend to offer more contrast. The Portrait profiles have much less contrast. Each profile has its own characteristics. You can toggle through them to see how their...

Our township paid to have this fishing pier put in. Many of the people who fish were opposed to it because the water is so shallow where it was built. Plus it's right next to the boat launch. It's kind of a 'T' shape. This is the part that is closest to the boat launch. That means the noise from...

This definitely wasn't planned! My Australian Shepherd almost got a hold of this possum before it reached the top of our 6' fence. It stayed put long enough for me to grab a camera. My D7200 was the easiest one to grab (albeit with a slow lens), and although I wasn't able to remove my CP filter...

These are probably poisonous berries since birds don't appear to be eating them. Does anyone know the name of this plant? :confused:

Locally I bought a used Tamrac Pro 12 camera bag, but not all of the padded velcro dividers really fit. A few appear to be from a smaller bag and don't quite reach from side-to-side. Does anyone know where I might be able to find similar dividers to replace the ones I need? :confused: I've been...

This was taken at one of our local parks. Originally this land was dug/mined for quartz, but since we are so close to sea level, they hit water. Eventually the township got the land and turned it into a park. Last year they added this fishing pier.

Here are a couple more from this afternoon. Both of these and the previous photo were edited in ACR and PCC with Color Efex Pro 4. Both of these were stopped down furtner...the first at f/14 and the second at f/13. Wanted to see how this lens performs at some extremes. I'm very happy with its...

I took it back to the store and tried out two other preowned models. Both were much sharper throughout. This one was their rental lens. There is some play in the manual focus ring. I keep bumping it since the zoom is on the opposite end of the lens than what I'm accustomed to. I'll have to work...

Here are a couple of images from one of our parks. I was trying out a new-to-me recent acquisition. Haven't yet decided whether or not I like this lens. It's a tad soft compared with what I've been using.

Thanks for the info! :encouragement: I looked at my options but a pro plan isn't being offered. I even clicked the link to learn more. Then I added the D500 to my cart to see what you were talking about, and I see they offer both a regular plan as well as a pro plan for that body. I will...

I posted this as a response to someone's question but thought it should have its own thread. When searching for info on Sigma's lens compatibility problem, I came across info that explains why the issue exists. It says Tamron and Tokina pay licensing fees to Nikon while Sigma doesn't. Supposedly...

Recently I heard about the ability to set a body to not actuate the shutter when no memory card is inserted and am curious how many people enable this setting? I don't recall seeing it mentioned here although no doubt I could have missed it. I just set my D750 and D7200--both use f7 under the...

I have both the PF and the AF-S (no VR) versions of the 300mm f/4 prime as well as a 1.4x teleconverter. The difference in IQ with the 1.4x teleconverter is very small. I'm pretty sure both of these were taken with the AF-S (non-VR) lens and 1.4x teleconverter earlier this year. The PF weighs a...

Lol...well...I will also admit buying their Basic Kit after watching their video on changing the Kelvin temperature in camera. The Standard Gel set included in the kit are color correction gels. If the Kelvin temp is changed to be really blue, their CTO gels correct the blue tones on the people...

Several months ago, the lady who asked me to take Tball photos of her son asked if I would take her family photos. I declined since my only real flash experience is with OCF while using a flash bracket (corded). Even though I have triggers, multiple flash units, and light stands, flash simply...

I find that when printing, quite often I have to tweak adjustments to the shadows (raise them). Otherwise, quite often there isn't a lot of detail in the shadows. And that's after making sure I don't have any clipping going on. And as Don mentioned, be sure to calibrate your monitor. If you are...
