I set all 3 of my Nikons with BBF in U1 (Aperture Priority) and BBF U2 (Manual Mode) for the times I want to work with moving subjects. Tried it out this afternoon but didn't have too many chances with my dogs. What few moving images I took tell me this will require some work. This is our new...

Something I just noticed, which happens when using both Chrome and Firefox, is when I go to the Advanced reply option and choose to insert images, the URL indicates the site isn't secure. I can still access the advanced uploader but wonder if this has anything to do with the problem @wev is...

There are many threads discussing how to set up BBF, but I am having trouble understanding how to set it up for U1. Let's say I want BBF set for U1 and possibly have the camera in Aperture Priority. How do I specify Aperture Priority since U1 is a mode just like Aperture Priority? And if I do...

This is the other channel marker that is in the distance in one of the photos above. I don't go down here at night to know whether or not the red lights blink/flash regularly.

I edited a few more that I took the other day, but one big difference is I changed the brightness on my laptop. Although it's been recalibrated regularly (and have done full calibrations over the past several years), I decided to read the directions and do another full calibration. The...

Thank you Charlie and Marilynne. Yes, she totally captured my heart. When it isn't expected and you don't even have a chance to prepare, it is really hard.

Wow, that's crazy Roy! The only time I ever experienced a problem was when I wanted to take a photo of the Trenton Makes Bridge (which has been photographed ad nauseum by so many people). A guy from the Port Authority told me it was against their policy to allow photographs to be taken because...

I haven't been out to shoot in the past 6 weeks with the exception of a few snow church photos (will probably do another wall calendar as a fundraiser). Anyway, after having a water pipe break in December as well as dealing with the passing of my beloved Yorkie Dachshund, I hadn't felt like...

Congrats to everyone! @Marilynne you didn't complete one this year? Roy, awesome accomplishment! FIVE years! Wow!!! :encouragement:

I'm having a hard time narrowing down my favorite. Surprisingly though, these two are the ones I like the best. It's surprising because I favor landscapes over birds or animals. This one is a hybrid male mallard duck. Its body is a very dark grey...almost black color. And I was just having...

Moab Man here is a screen shot which includes the photographer's name. Mods, if this isn't allowed, please delete.

Happy Birthday, Marilynne! :encouragement: You are so good with wishing happy birthdays to others. Here's to wishing your day is filled with love and laughter--and photos! ;)

It's the icon that is next to the image icon. Click that icon, and a box opens up. Insert your URL into the box (I used your link as an example). This screen shot was from the advanced reply option, but it's the same icon used in the quick reply box, too, Roy.

Last year I created a wall calendar as a church fundraiser but wasn't happy with the colors. It was printed by a printing company. This year when I went to look at the proof calendar, once again the colors were off a little. Then the guy said he wondered what color profile I used, and after...

Today when I fed the birds, this squirrel was frozen motionless. I wasn't sure how long he'd stay put but was still there after I grabbed my camera. He let me take this before moving to the other fence. It's a good thing my Australian Shepherd wasn't with me. My Aussie despises the squirrel...

I've been trying out a pre-owned Nikon 28-70mm f/2.8 (wanting something for my Fm2n), but the exposure is inconsistent. I had to keep turning the +/- button up and down trying to nail something usable but am guessing the aperture blades are sticking once in a while. Meh. It will be sent back. I...

I've been asked to take photos of kids playing baseball/T-ball (Little League) next spring and am looking for suggestions on where to stand and ideas on what parents like to see. Whether I will be able to move around or not is something I don't know although I was told I can stand in or near the...

This one is my favorite for the month. It was taken with my very first zoom lens for my Nikon N70. The lens is a Sigma 28-70mm f/2.8 from back in the late 1990's. I wanted to test the lens to decide whether or not to keep it. While I was pleasantly surprised by this image, the overall image...

Black Friday I ordered one of Phlearn's courses as they were advertising a sale. I clicked via the email I received to access their site. Quite often web sites will automatically apply their coupon code so it doesn't need to be entered, but they didn't. And of course I forget to enter it. So I...

I have a Nikon FM2n that I'd like to use, but it takes lenses with aperture rings. Currently I do have a few although my main zoom isn't the greatest. It is a Sigma 28-70mm f/2.8 that was made in the late 1990's. Of all the lenses I've ever owned, it is the least sharp. Granted that can be fixed...
