My little boxer on her way to get an estimate for removing her mast cell tumors. Surgery is set for Monday morning (fingers crossed they're not all spread out in her little boxer body) 50mm f/1.8G

Here's a cool article listing (and showing) the top 19 most expensive photographs. Interesting that Cindy Sherman has 2 on this list. I like Cindy Sherman's story. She's a unique photographer, to say the least. The 19 most expensive photographs ever sold

"Make it so, Number 1" :D

Balboa Park Sunset (3-1-13)

I was doing a wet cleaning on my D800 yesterday and as most of you know you're really not cleaning the senor, per se, and instead are actually cleaning the OLPF (ie - anti-aliasing filter) that's sitting on top of the light sensor. Then it occurred to me that both the D7100 and D800E do not have...

This trial is fascinating.

Here's an example of what I'm talking about. There's a light up on the cliff behind me that gives off an orange hue. So when I adjust the WB to turn the sky to blue the orange changes to a pink-ish color. I took these images this morning before sunup and it's a bummer than the only way I can...

I've been doing a lot of night photography and I keep getting stuck trying to counter the orange hue that comes from the street lights. I'm not sure if it's a tungsten element or ? but they all seem to give off an orange/red hue. It seems there's nothing I can do to remove it short of turning it...

Thanks guys. You guys did so good that I'm going to reward you with another question. Do people still use these? If not, should I just toss them?

In the bag of lenses was the L-shaped thingie. I can guess what it might be used for but I'm hoping someone might recognize it and know exactly what it's used for. TIA

Moonset (last night's full moon was just too tempting not to get up this morning and chase it into the sea). 24-70mm; f-3.5; ISO-100; 30 sec

I've a question for those who use Flickr. Where is the option to keep your images from being right clicked downloaded? I can't seem to find that option. TIA

Dan Aykroyd was holding a bottle signing today at a local BevMo. Although we arrived too late and the line was stretched back behind the building, I did get to see the Ghostbuster car. After Sammy Hagar made a small fortune by putting his name on a tequila brand, it seems all the celebrities...

My neighbor brought over a big bag full of her father's old camera equipment and lenses that she would like to sell. The lenses are in excellent condition but I have to admit, I don't very much about these older lenses and some of them I can't figure out what their focal length is. So I would...

Another moon shot...couldn't resist the temptation to shoot it tonight :D

Spring has sprung! 105mm; f-9; ISO-100

I've decided it's time we start a wish-list thread so that Nikon engineers can stop by and get new ideas for upcoming cameras. So to start it off, I want my next camera to have a wireless "head's up" display that broadcasts to a special set of glasses allowing you to hold the camera out at...

It seems like every other week I read an article like this one. Just 20 yrs ago the thing that distinguished humans from animals were the use of tools, then it was empathy and so on but each time we thought we'd found the line an example showed up that crossed it. Now we learn that dolphins call...

I used SilverEfex to render it B&W and used the blue filter function which gave it a very strange ghostly look. Here's what it looked like before the blue filter was applied

This mornings pre-dawn catch.... D800; 14-24mm; ISO-100 Interestingly, this is the color many of the images taken at the cove came out. This color hue only showed up for about a 20 min period of time. It wasn't there earlier when the skies were pitch black and seemed to leave as the...
