Has anyone ever dealt with Hoya for a broken filter? My Hoya HD Circular Polarizer broke last night. The limted one-year warranty runs out at the end of this month. When I removed it last night, a thin brass ring broke (must have been in between where the filter rotates) which then separated the...

My friend Jack (Jack-Be-Nimble) came back tonight.

I chose this particular image because the original was very dark. I decided not to convert or try to correct the background colors although I dialed down the saturation on their faces. The problem with editing images that are high ISO and underexposed is you can introduce artifacting. That's...

I had a go at this one but also chose a 2nd image that I will edit when I have time. When I raised the exposure, there are multiple colors of light present. The building on the far right is lit with fluorescent light (green color cast), the building behind the couple is tungsten (golden brown...

This first image is from my second slot which is set to jpeg. It's Adobe RGB simply resized for the forum. No editing done. There is clipping of both the whites and blacks. And this is the image converted to sRGB and edited mostly in ACR. I had to lower the red luminance to stop the whites...

These were from 2 weeks ago. Taken on the grounds of my church.

Within the past month, I decided to photograph a local lake but wanted to use a slow shutter speed to smooth out the water. In the back of the car, I carry an old and cheap Velbon. The problem is when I used it, it couldn't quite handle the weight of my gear. So I've been looking for an...

I copied the NEF multiple times and did many edits but kept clipping my blues. When I did it Paul's way, it was fine except for the lack of contrast. But no matter how I tried to add contrast, my blues clipped. :( So I deleted everything--after all, it was getting confusing having so many...

floridafan, this is a 16:9 crop that Woody mentioned. The ratio is closer to a panoramic than either of the ones you posted here. I hope it's okay that I did this for you. If not, let me know and I'll delete it. And as for the watermark, it's always recommended to use one when posting online.

Nikonites t-shirts are on sale for 40% off. It's only for a limited time if anyone is interested. I'm not sure what the one shirt is and just sent jdeg a PM asking about it. The two shirts John has promoted are the aperture blade (choice of black or white tee) and the one with the Nikonites logo...

@jdeg do you have any suggestions to help wordlesstu?

Here are a few from this afternoon. This first one is cross-posted in the weekly challenge for empty road. And below are two others I considered for the challenge. There were too many leaves on the road below which is why I decided against using it for the challenge. The road isn't quite...

Yesterday I was at the King of Prussia Mall where Santa was already greeting the children. I could kick myself for not taking any pics of their set-up/gear. They used some type of Canon body (might have been mirrorless since it was a small body). There was one strobe bounced into a silver...

Here is another comparison. The first image was done as Adobe RGB. The second is sRGB. I have an entire folder of car show photos that will require converting. I did batch processing one time for resizing but haven't ever done it to change my color profile. 126 images is a lot, and I don't want...

Thanks for the info, Paul. After updating Camera RAW on my laptop, that's when I began noticing a much larger issue with clipping. This has been my only workable solution. Moving forward, I think I will simply switch to sRGB at the very end. I haven't had any issues when printing sRGB but also...

I'd like some input from members here. A while back I changed my camera to shoot as Adobe RGB instead of sRGB. Some of what I shoot gets printed (Adobe RGB is preferred for that), and I found I had less clipping with Adobe RGB instead of sRGB. And I also changed my post processing in ACR and...
