Surprise, surprise! There was another local car show that I didn't know about, but since I had my macro lens as well as the lens ball, I decided to take a few more pics. I need to remember to stand close enough to the cars. Depending on the angle of the sun to the ball, I could see imperfections...

This afternoon I went to a park simply to take some pics and relax. What I didn't know was they were hosting a Car Show. And guess who was there! :beguiled: The Red Corvette family! ;) They were so nice and quite willing to allow me to get this lens ball image. I could see some of the...

I'm finishing up my car show photos and only have the Corvette's images to edit. I shoot RAW+jpeg fine. These are just the jpeg's resized for the forum. Any editing I do will be on the NEF's. There are 2 different images below that will require Photoshop love. The owner very humbly asked me to...

Here are a few from this afternoon's outing. There is a scarecrow contest at our local park--these are a few of the entries. Under the Lens Ball thread, I compared the Amlong 80mm Ball with the Merry Nine 80mm ball. These are from the Merry Nine ball which is the better ball.

Wait no longer! ;) This Merry Nine ball comes with a small pouch which made it nice to carry while I was out today. The other day I lugged around the box with the Amlong ball. The Amlong has a styrofoam insert inside the box that blew out, and of course I looked rather foolish chasing it. Run...

Not a purchase...it just takes too long to get approval for posts in the Deals subforum. Today only B&H has the Tokina AT-X 116 Pro DX-II 11-16mm f/2.8 lens on sale for $329.00. Is anyone looking to do holiday shopping early? ;)...

I'm curious which ball people purchased off of Amazon. :confused: Yesterday was my first time using it. My first images at the park were fine. Then I went to my church. I will admit I hadn't noticed any imperfections in the ball when I looked it over after getting it. But there they are (this...

It looks like you are using the Nikon 24-120mm lens. Here is an example within Adobe Camera RAW. Sorry...I tried to find my way around Lightroom but couldn't. The same tools are available in ACR as are in LR. It's the layout that is different. You should be able to find the lens profile within...

This possum came back tonight. I'm going to name it Jack. Jack be nimble, Jack be quick.... It barely escaped up the fence after I let our dogs out. I hadn't looked behind the shed. :( The light was even darker than it appears. Any shadows were from the security lights that were shining off to...

This bird feeder isn't all that big. The largest birds I've ever seen on it prior to now were Grackles. And even they don't fit all that well. The pole is leaning because I backed into it with the rider mower and snapped it off close to the ground. It's held well with a clamp. But the pole is...

For those in the greater Philadelphia area or Princeton and surrounding areas, Allen's Camera in Levittown is having their huge annual sale tomorrow, October 13th. This comes from their FB page: https://allenscamera.com/ @jdeg @Eduard @BackdoorHippie (yeah, I know it's kind of far for you!)

These are cross-posted in my thread. Photos from this weekend's car show. This first image blew my mind. Looking at the car with the naked eye, the windows were clear. When I put my camera up to my eye, the windows had a hazy, white chalky appearance. So I rotated my CP filter, and surprisingly...

I am still working on the car show photos. There was a Corvette that received much love in its life. Most of the cars had signs stating Please Do Not Touch. The owner crossed out the Do Not and let people sit in his car. :) When I photographed this car, the owner asked if I could make it look...

A few more from yesterday's car show.

These are a few from today's car show. This was my first attempt at car photos, but I did quite a bit of research to find what I liked. I hadn't taken too many pics when it started to sprinkle. Earlier this morning I picked up a small Think Tank Emergency Rain Cover. It's a brand new product and...

Since I knew I'd be taking photos of the car show, I chose mode of transportation as this week's topic. However, I don't want this (or any photos from the car show) to be considered for this week's challenge. Here I expected this topic would receive several submissions. You don't even need to...

Are you choosing one of the profiles? Some are Adobe Profiles and others are Camera Profiles. For example, the Landscape profiles tend to offer more contrast. The Portrait profiles have much less contrast. Each profile has its own characteristics. You can toggle through them to see how their...

Our township paid to have this fishing pier put in. Many of the people who fish were opposed to it because the water is so shallow where it was built. Plus it's right next to the boat launch. It's kind of a 'T' shape. This is the part that is closest to the boat launch. That means the noise from...
