Here are a couple more from the Moon-Williamson Log House. The three chimneys caught my eye. I decided to try out a couple of effects from Color Efex Pro 4. This one uses Tonal Contrast. When I applied a vignette option from within Color Efex Pro 4 to the image below, I couldn't help but be...

I watched a number of video tutorials on sepia conversion and found one that allows me to convert my image to a Smart Object. Then I was able to apply the changes in ACR. This is where I'm at for now. Most likely I will go in and tweak the settings. The nice thing is since it's saved as a Smart...

This is also posted in my regular thread. I keep getting blown away by this body. To me there is a definite difference between this sensor and my D7100. The only thing this camera lacks that I wish it had is a tilt screen. This is an historic building: The Moon-Williamson Log House built in the...

I was inspired by @RockyNH's sepia toned image in this week's challenge for old architecture that I went back to the log cabin to take additional photos. There isn't a vignette on this color image yet as I went from this into a sepia conversion. I like to add my vignette last. So far this is...

Since one of the options is to show an architectural element on an old building's exterior, here is a dovetail joint of a log cabin. This is the Moon-Williamson Log House which was built in the 1760's.

I had to do a lot of digging to find this post by @BackdoorHippie - Jake wrote this several years ago. He shows how to create an HDR effect from one image. This should give you a good starting point to play with. :)...

How many times does God or our gut try to tell us something, but we don't listen? Late Wednesday AND early Thursday morning I was prompted to look up info on a new flash sync cord. I had no intentions of buying one yet something made me peruse the internet looking up options. And I even went as...

Thanks for these, @Marilynne - great assortment of cars at the show. :)

Fstoppers wrote an article about one of Tony Northrup's ebooks being available for a limited time: How to Create Stunning Digital Photography. Within the following link is another link that allows you to choose the file format you'd like to save. Fstoppers says it is Amazon's second best selling...

Etched glass window (and frame) that separates the Narthex from the Sanctuary framing the window frames inside the Sanctuary.

With all the photography I've been doing at church, I was asked to take photos of a car show event this fall. It will be held on the church grounds. Most likely the cars won't be near any trees (no lush backgrounds) with cars being parked next to one another. What I am hoping to learn is what...

Entry #2 - Plastic Sea of Straws

Curious if anyone has this Benro tripod that F-Stoppers uses. It's 4.5 pounds without a head and looks to be a monster with the width of its legs. https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1157821-REG/benro_tma38cl_mach3_9x_carbon_fiber.html

My church wants to create a disc that contains both a slide show as well as still images, but the person who usually burns the video discs says Windows removed the feature to burn movies. Is there some type of software that will allow both to be burned to one disc at the same time? :confused:

Entry #1 - Plastic. I'm just going to leave this here. Sometimes paper is better than plastic. ;)

For the past couple of years, I've been making wall calendars as a church fund raiser and include a variety of activities. Next Sunday (22nd) the church is hosting a pool party for the kids. I think it will be held at someone's house so there shouldn't be any issue with taking photos of the...

Thank you, Marcel, but to be fair, it was @BackdoorHippie who posted the video for me when I was dealing with my D600 oil spot problem. And I think it was Horoscope Fish who posted that loupe. Just want to give credit where credit is due. ;) The sensor cleaning video is amazing. I was petrified...

The video below should give you a good idea of how to use a rocket blower as well as how to wet clean your sensor. They also make pen-type devices to spot clean the sensor. Always use a blower before putting any type of cleaning device (sensor swab or pen) on your sensor. And even if you've used...

Here is another example of Micah the day I shot at ISO 8000. This first image is with minimal editing. Then I went back and added a little Nik Dfine for noise reduction and a touch of high pass sharpening just to the green color of her eyes. Nik Dfine's noise reduction is most noticeable in...

One of my friends didn't realize I had cats, and after posting the above image on Facebook, she asked if I would post a photo of our other cat. Here is Micah. She came up from North Carolina via a rescue organization in that state that partnered with a local shelter. I upped my ISO to 8000 and...
