I've thought about making different versions for different ratio applications. I usually end up just doing the quick positioning the template in the Epson software when sending the info to the printer. It literally only takes seconds to do. I know what you mean about letting them age. While...

I'm curious as to how everyone deals with the issue of aspect ratios and finished prints. I generally prefer the 4x6 (1.5) ratio that is native to the camera. It is how I compose in the camera, and in Lightroom. The fly in the ointment is when I decide to print them. If I am making larger...

The more I use this lens, the more impressed I am with it. Took these yesterday.

Finally got a chance to go visit the Birds of Prey Center with the Pup. This is one of the better shots.

There will likely be some gems amongst them. I have a couple pictures of my grandfather working as a cowboy just prior to WWI. My wife has many 19th century photos of her family. She has made copies of of them available to one of the local archive organizations. I think preserving old photos is...

When I got into digital photography last year, I tried NX studio. I have since moved on to Lightroom as my daughter decided to work in it. I found NX to have a very similar layout to LR. Now that I have learned more about LR, I'm not sure NX will do everything that LR will do, but it struck me...

Welcome. Hope you enjoy the forum. There are lots of talented folks here that are willing to share their knowledge and enthusiasm. Hope you don't mind a little anecdote from your mention of genealogy. My wife has been into genealogy for many years. Years ago was into photography and did B&W...

I talked with the Pup about this last night. I usually consult her before buying something expensive. She doesn't seem terribly interested in upgrading her normal zoom right now, so I will shelve this idea for now. I appreciate the feedback from all. Now I need to figure out something else to...

They have an 18-200 F3.5-6.3 brand new for $250 at B&H.

While that would normally be my first thought, The issue with that is the wide end would be 36mm equivalent on a DX body, and far short of the 200mm, 300mm equivalent, on the max end. The other issue is the price is approaching twice that of the 18-200, which is more than I was looking to spend...

I'm thinking about getting the Pup an upgrade for her D5600 normal zoom. Looks like everything is older designs. She really likes her 5600 and doesn't really want an upgraded camera body right now. I've gotten her DX upgrades in lenses till now, but for a normal/all in one, a DX is really the...

I'm using Firefox, and having no problems with it displaying.

The first Dr Who convention we went to was all classic Who actors. Including some that went back to the Hartnell years. They lost me with Matt Smith, although Peter Capaldi was pretty good. We saw him and Michelle Gomez at the last one we attended. She was incredibly entertaining. Frazer Hines...

Read the books before seeing the first series. I haven't been able to make myself watch the new series. The picture of Mrs Hall looks like she in in her 30s. :confused: The original was filmed with the assistance of Dr Wight AKA James Herriot. Why they would think they could do a better job...

What? You never watched All Creatures Great and Small?:eek: Tristan was played by Peter Davison, who went on to play Dr Who in the 80s. He was a decent Dr Who, but was absolutely perfect as Tristan in All Creatures. I got a chance to meet him at a Dr Who convention several years ago. My family...

Edinburgh, isn't that where Tristan Farnon was always heading off to vet school? On a side note, I have a picture of him and me taken a few years ago. OK, it was one I paid for at a convention, but it was him standing next to me. Funny thing is, he is purported to be 6' 1". I'm 5' 10" and look...

A lot depends on what you shoot and how you shoot it. I have seldom seen a need for an ND. I have always been able to get what I want by using smaller F stops. Of course, the limitation of that is that you are stuck with a wider depth of field, which for most pictures I want a long shutter...

Well, there are several down sides to RAW. Bigger files is the first, although not such a big deal with high capacity cards these days, as well as faster processors in the cameras. The next is that you will have to convert to JPG for many applications, as things like posting will not support RAW...
