    Nikon or Mack Warranty?

    With today's price drop on the D750, at some point I will buy one. In the past I've only bought the Nikon extended warranty. Which type of extended warranty do most people here buy? And why? Nikon vs. Mack.

    Tripod Head vs. Camera/Lens Weight

    I am looking to buy a new tripod head (just bought a new Gitzo aluminum tripod last week). Manfrotto makes a couple I'm interested in, and one is perfect for my needs--except it has a maximum load of 8.8 pounds. I need a pan/tilt head because of forearm tendonitis, and this head is super easy to...

    Flickr Exif Data Question

    You want to make sure you select the BBCode and the Original Size. If you choose any other size, the EXIF will be stripped.

    I've been looking at specs for a new tripod, but it's hard to make a decision based solely on specs. So today I went to my local camera store to see features I do and don't like. Since they didn't have a head like I wanted, I came home and did a little more research then narrowed down my choices...

    To Filter.... or Not To Filter. That is the question.

    Michael, sorry I've been away from the forum for a few weeks. Here is a chart I found online which comes from this web site: Choosing the best ND filter: remember these 4 tips (and save this cheat sheet!) | Digital Camera World Look at the very left-hand column under where it says, FILTER...

    Flash Brackets

    I still use a Stroboframe bracket from my 35mm days when using off-camera flash. It positions the flash above the camera which creates shadows under the chin--certainly not desirable so I'm considering getting a new flash bracket. There are times when I can't bounce the flash because either the...

    This showed up in my Facebook news feed. Since we have been hovering around 0° during the nights, it might be applicable even for this area. :)

    Contributing member renewals

    @jdeg my Paypal account worked differently than your directions. I had to click the 'wheel' near the upper right as there wasn't a Profile tab. Once on that page, look under Payment Settings and click on Preapproved payments. Mine is listed as Sugarman Studios LLC not Nikonites.

    Lawsuit over photo contests

    Has anyone heard about a lawsuit where a photographer is being sued for running online photo contests? It sounds like a company patented photo contests, and that company is now going after other people who run them. @jdeg this is happening around our area. :( Why one photographer decided to...

    Hark's 2015 and 2016

    I posted this earlier this afternoon but needed to lighten it slightly. This shot of the canal is from a completely different vantage point about 1/2 mile away from the first. A little history on the canal: it is man made and covers 60 miles. It runs parallel to the Delaware River and was...

    Automatic sharpening in Photoshop?

    While watching one of the free videos on Lynda.com, she is talks about working in Bridge before sending a file to Photoshop. In this video, when discussing output sharpening, she says not to add any sharpening in Bridge if the file is going to Photoshop because PS automatically sharpens the...

    Nikon 70-300mm VR VS ??

    Here are 3 photos taken with my Nikon 70-300mm f/4.5-5.6 VR. I don't have many photos taken at 300mm; however, this first one is 300mm with my D610--no cropping. This one was taken on the same day with this lens but isn't zoomed all the way out--also taken with my D610. And this last one...

    Post your Photographing the photographer.

    Pulled out a lens originally used for 35mm. It's a Sigma 70-210mm f/3.5-4.5 APO macro. Faster than some of the f/4-5.6 and f/4.5-5.6 lenses. It's not a true macro though. Back then it was a decent lens for the money. (EDIT: that isn't haloing around his hat--he is set up in front of a window...
