    Photo Upload -- Problems & questions

    In the past, I have not had a problem uploading photos to my gallery (actually I did a while back but others were also, so I blew it off). Anyway today, I tried to use the Flash upload, only to get nowhere with multiple photos. Then I tried only one photo. Still no go. Then I cleared all...

    Off Camera Flash--How to

    I found this youtube video while trying to learn some of the ins & outs of using a flash. It's about an hour long, but pointed out some things for me as a beginner that made sense and simplified things for me. It talks about using a meter to your advantage with single off camera flash...

    What is allowed?

    I know that similar topics have come up, but I'm not sure this was covered. Today I had the opportunity to take pictures at a rodeo. It is a community event and is open for all spectators. It was a "ranch" rodeo which has different events from the normal rodeos (no bucking broncs or bulls...

    Ok, last night using NX-D as I have been doing for as long as I have been processing RAW files, I processed a photo and converted it to .jpg. Then I opened it in GIMP as I usually do for additional touch-ups and flares. BUT.......... the image was not the full image that I had processed. It...

    Speed/Fast Illusion

    This is more of an opinion question than anything else, I guess. When looking for the best portrayal of speed in a photo which of the two following methods gives the best illusion? 1. I know that panning with the moving object (car, bike, etc) and done correctly the background is blurred...

    Minimum Shutter Speed Setting ??

    OK, this came up in an Off Topic thread I started. In the ISO menu setting where you select ISO Auto On or Off, there is a minimum shutter speed setting also. If it is set to 1/500s for example, should the shutter speed ever drop below that setting in any modes other than Manual or of course...

    Ever have a day......................

    Today was a day that almost makes me think that photography is not for me. I shot about 40 shots and was so disappointed after downloading them on the computer, they all got trash canned.

    This morning I was out with the dog and the camera. I started to set the CPL for the direction that I would most likely be shooting and noticed some black specks in the view finder. After getting back to the house, I did a little detective work and tried to clean. Lens looked ok, removed it...
