Attended a local Funk Festival and just had to stop and ask this guy if I could take his photo.

Did a maternity shoot this weekend. This is one of my favorites.

My daughter, Drew.

I'm w/ @FredKingston on this one... Although I'm not sure any settings change will fix it. Topaz has a long history of grid artifact issues. This article may help, but it may not get rid of it completely: https://help.topazlabs.com/hc/en-us/articles/360038893192-Artifacting-in-DeNoise-AI

Entry #1: Miss Vivian This is my first (and currently only) grandchild, Vivian. She is a little ray of sunshine, and very much papaw's girl. She will be 2 in mid-October and has a personality as big as all outside. Goes without saying - she makes me happy. Here she is cheesing for the camera...

Your profile indicates that it's okay to edit your images, so I gave it a shot: The eyes should be the brightest and most vibrant part of the image, piercing right through the viewer's soul. A slight crop lines up the eye with one of the points in the Rule of Thirds, further drawing your...

Tomorrow morning I'm going to Raptor, Inc. - a bird preserve in Cincinnati, OH. They have a deal with the local photo club to let small groups come in and photograph the birds once in awhile. $22 fee through the club for the shoot, most is donated to the preserve. No idea what birds will be...

When I had my studio, I used muslin backdrops and they were a pain in the !@#. They're expensive, heavy, and you're constantly editing out wrinkles in post. I have zero experience w/ seamless paper, but I think that's the way I want to go. It appears that 53" (a little more than 4 ft) and 107"...

Anyone else think the forum is looking a bit dated? There are themes out there for vBulletin that have a sleeker interface and are mobile-friendly. It's been what...10 years? Time for a face lift.

This barely qualifies as automotive. Lawn mowers on steroids:

Sort of, yes. The leg profile is actually a weird 6-sided hexagon that reminds me of the Superman emblem. Pardon the crude sketch - I tried to get a couple photos, but it was hard to see all the angles. Looking straight down the tube, this is the leg profile: The short side (bottom) nests...

The local historical society hosted a cruise-in this evening. Here are a few favorites:

Playing with the new D500 and off-camera flash this evening. Also my first time using color gels. I bought a MagMod kit (great system, but expensive) and used a 1/2 CTO gel on this. Had a helluva time color correcting this photo in post because it was way too orange. Still looks a bit orange to...

Full stop. This is the issue right here. Camera auto modes suck. They're designed to get people taking pics quickly and most people just stay in that comfort zone. It's like riding a bike and never taking the training wheels off. If you have any interest in taking your photography to the next...
