@tea2085 You may be too close to your subject to achieve focus. Your lenses have a minimum focus distance.

Thanks @Marcel for moving this. In the back of my mind, I was hoping that would happen. Ha! The "Voting Poll" at the end of the month would be nice, but for now I am happy to leave it with the "Like" system. It is just for fun and hopefully it won't have any conflicts. It's just for fun and...

Week 18 Theme Coiled ​Photos from the Willcox Centennial Celebration Ranch Rodeo A coiled rope is in each photo, thus the theme "Coiled". Catching a ride into the arena End of the ride, I'm getting off here. I see those cows over there, but I really want to find some smaller ones...

How to watch the Eta Aquarids May meteor shower - Business Insider Anyone going to try to capture this event? Those who have done similar before, do you have any hints/setting recommendations?

A little "buckaroo" throwing a loop in hopes of catching one of the goats so his team partners could flank it and do a pseudo branding.

Here is one that just had too many distractions, so they were removed (GIMP). Preprocessed with Capture NX-d (1st Photo shows NX-D results). Second photo is with the distractions removed. Processed with NX-D After removing distractions using GIMP

@Kim20, Congratulations! Well deserved! Now, for those of us who are uninformed, what technique did you use for the effect?

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...

I just tried the crop I suggested and didn't like it, but then cropped it a little differently and did very minor color adjustments. (more for my own learning than to suggest to you. Ha!) Hope it was ok to play with your image.

Week 17 Theme Roadside This week, as the choice for themes dwindles, I had to decide what to post. I had a couple of landscape shots that I was fairly pleased with, but these two shots kept coming back to me just because of the irony I saw. A John Deere dealership is being constructed, but...

I never thought I would ask this, but well here goes. I have read about dust on the sensor and seen videos (you-tube). After submitting the photo for the weekly challenge, I think I am seeing the results of dust that I had missed before. Is what I am seeing probably dust on the sensor of my...

@lucien, your 18-55 lens has the same switches as mine does. See the photos: VR can be switched on or off at will as long as you are not in the process of taking a picture. The larger barrel ring for the "Zoom" can be turned at any time. The small barrel ring at the front of the lens can...

@lucien I think you are confusing Zoom with Auto Focus. Zoom you can only do manually and in any mode, Autofocus or Manual focus. I think this is what you probably heard. The Focus on some lenses should not be done manually when the Auto-focus is set because that can break something inside...

When I ask the question at the beginning of this thread I had an idea and needed to use an older picture that I had taken to get what I wanted, but........... as it turned out I took a few other photos that may have worked out better for this challenge (And they were all shot this week. Ha!)...

I noticed a recall on the Nikon site when I was looking for other information. Just passing it along as I don't have the battery. Ha http://www.nikonusa.com/en/Service-And-Support/Service-Advisories/h0ndzaip/EN-EL15-Rechargeable-Li-ion-Battery-Pack-Recall.html Here is an excerpt: Nikon Inc...

Tried rotating the image so it was in landscape orientation, but that image was also cropped. I realized now however that it is cropped on the right as well as the bottom of the image. The following two photos are the image as seen in Capture NX-D and the image as converted to .jpg or tiff...

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...

Week 16 Theme Motion Another week and what a way to get double duty out of a picture. The weekly challenge and the 52 challenge. So this is your lucky day "One for the price of two" Ha! A day late in posting because, again, internet access was not the best. I did get the photo in the...

I like the way you added clouds to give the photo some more punch and to cover the line in the sky caused by the color difference. Nice job @dickelfan

I have made some from 550 parachute cord for my GPS and other things. You might think about doing something like that. Leather or 550 cord. Wrist Strap Neck Strap
