    June 2018 Theme: Fast

    I took 70+ shots similar to this of both boats and wave runners, and this was literally the very last one. Most of them varied from a little too blurry to WAY too blurry. Entry #1 EDIT: This was with panning. No blur was added in post.

    Quick Release vs. Arca Swiss plates

    Here is something different that is new to me. An Arca Swiss clamp that is also compatible with Manfrotto's quick release plates. Sunwayfoto makes the DT-02 Monopod Head that doesn't come with a clamp (they do make a monopod head that comes with an Arca Swiss clamp though)...

    Nikon 28-105mm f/3.5-4.5D

    Not sure I'm supposed to own this lens. :beguiled: The first one I purchased in EXC+ condition from KEH had a sticking point at 35mm when zooming in and out. I sent it back and ordered one in Like New condition via an Amazon seller. Now let me say this copy looks to be in pristine condition...

    Contract Content & Wording

    I have never done any shoots for payment and have no plans of doing so just yet. However, I have run into a problem where a verbal agreement hasn't been honored. I've been taking photos of people for church. It started out with me taking the photos for a wall calendar to be sold as a fund...

    Post your latest purchases.

    This is a ridiculously great sale price on the Canon Pixma PRO-100 once all the rebates are applied--$59.99 after rebates. Please note there is a mail-in rebate so out-of-pocket cost is higher initially. Looks like the instant saving of $50 ends June 11th, but it seems like the mail-in-rebate...

    Flash Modifiers for Portraits

    Thanks for the info. Guess I need to pull out my white umbrellas and see if they are discolored from almost 2 decades of no use. ;) Here's another question...I have one of these Godox S-Type bracket. Do I need something else to hold the umbrellas? I know I'll need to get more brackets. If this...

    Flash Modifiers for Portraits

    A few of you may remember I was asked to photograph a coach's t-ball team in action. Now the coach asked if I do sessions. ::what:: My response was what type of session? (I can be pretty dense at times)! :shame: Family sessions was the reply. Me: Well...umm...no. I told her I really have no...

    Photoshop CC Brushes--need to fix

    Somehow I altered my Photoshop CC brushes. In the diagram below, when I go to select a brush, I have brushes from the Clone Stamp and the Healing Brush showing up. If I accidentally choose one of them, my tool changes from a brush to either the Clone Stamp or the Healing Brush. How do I get...

    Hark 2018

    Took this one yesterday. Thought the sign was hilarious--made me wonder what happens when dogs use it. ;) Would that be considered an emergency?!! :shame: And this one was taken just a short time ago. This bunny is new to our yard. It was out front when I got home from the store. It allowed...

    Hark 2018

    This was taken a couple of days ago. I posted it in a local group where one guy said I shouldn't take photos of people I don't know and post them online. Well...it was in a public park. Turns out the guy is the president of one of the kids' ball leagues and was getting the field ready for an...

    What to do?? The next lens in the stable.

    Sometimes trying to come up with a decision can be very difficult. There are so many options for you, Walt, that I'm glad you were able to hone on what to get. I've thought about replacing my 70mm-300mm with Nikon's 70-200mm f/4 VR, but after getting the D7200, I have been enjoying the extended...

    Alternative to BBF?

    Last week I received a couple of steroid injections into my hand. This afternoon I went out with my D7200 in hopes of seeing how my hand would hold up. I spotted this guy and thought it would be a good chance to try AF-C without the camera being in BBF. I quickly dialed in the settings and took...

    Tamron 150-600 g1 vs Nikon 200-500

    Is this the same Tamron lens causing problems for some members? @wev is this the lens where you've had more than one mechanical issue and have had to send it back? Although people say Tamron has great customer service, the multiple Tamron problems that have been mentioned here would make me lean...

    Post your Out of the Ordinary

    Haven't we all seen something that makes us do a double-take? :shame: Especially the ones where something really shouldn't be there? Here is mine. What I CAN say is it wasn't there 90 minutes earlier (and yes, the toilet was cleaned within this past week)! Anyway it was dangling above the water...

    What's the BIGGEST mouse available?

    The mouse arrived today, and it's ENORMOUS! Fortunately it is as big as I hoped. The pics don't do it justice. The mouse is slightly larger than my hand (see bottom photo). I should have lowered my hand slightly as the perspective is off a little. I do have very large hands so this allows me to...

    Quick Release vs. Arca Swiss plates

    A while back I asked some questions about tripod plates and was always under the impression there were only 2 styles. Many companies make Arca Swiss compatible plates, but what I didn't know is there are companies that make quick release plates (and heads) that look exactly like the Manfrotto...

    Post Your Favorite May Shot 2018

    There is a new fishing pier at a Community Park Lake which makes it nice to go out over the water. This guy was paddling his kayak. Initially I posted this first image in a local Facebook group where he was tagged by his friend. So I got into a conversation with him and posted this second...

    What's the BIGGEST mouse available?

    Due to chronic tendonitis in my right hand, I am having immense difficulty using my current mouse. It's smaller than normal which of course doesn't help. I'm looking for one that is as wide as possible but don't need any bells and whistles. All I use are the center scroll wheel and the...
