Happy 4th of July!

I think this qualifies as bottoms up. ;)

For what it's worth, this was my pic at those settings. Not as dark but that could be because of my lighting vs. yours.

@fotojack, I have a technical question about your first posted selfie where you cropped the top of your head out. I'm just trying to understand the thought process when a crop like that is made (rather than just leaving a little space at top). Is it because you want to get tighter on the face...

This is an interesting idea that I never thought of. Magic Lantern Just Figured Out How to Boot Linux on a DSLR, and That's a Huge Deal An excerpt: Today they released the first hints that they're working on allowing Canon DSLRs to boot into a Linux kernel, essentially turning the camera body...

They make several versions. None of them will replace a traditional tripod. But then again, it's not really supposed to. The size and flexibility is all about fitting into tight or awkward spots and just plain getting creative with the legs. It fits in any bag and conforms to just about any...

No worries Bill. The conversion allows your camera to take pics of the Infrared spectrum. You can also achieve this with filters opposed to getting your camera converted for IR, like I did. The filters range in price from $15 to more than $100. I believe when you use an IR filter that you...

I sent my D300 off yesterday to Kolari Vision for a 590 IR conversion. I'll post up more info as I go through the process. After doing some research, I decided to go with them instead of LifePixel due to cost and another member (Backdoorhippie) here having used them. Their check out system...

Grackle Call. This guy has some pipes.

It's pretty beyond me but what about using the Adjustment Brush in LR and knock down the Flow, Feather and Density. Paint the areas and then raise the exposure a tad, raise the shadows, lower contrast and clarity. And perhaps play around with the other settings a bit. Here was a quick go...

I did some "headshots" recently and was in the same boat. I had some muslin backdrops that I didn't like because of the wrinkles. You might find a way to deal with the wrinkles but for me it was a pain in the rear. So I ended up going with something that Eyelight posted. I went with this one...

I try not to drag my knee like PicNewb but I come close sometimes. I enjoy cycling, backpacking, a little running and oh yeah, photography.

Once in awhile, the owner of the Jacksonville Jaguars likes to park his little dingy downtown and show the commoners what you can accomplish by selling a ton of car bumpers. ;) His "hood ornament" is new and yes those are glowing jaguar eyes. Taken with an iPhone 6. Here's more information...

@Browncoat Maybe I'm looking at this too cut and dry. The term "free" is being thrown around and I think that's part of the problem. The Oprah show is not offering monetary compensation for services rendered, that's plain to see. But IMO the Oprah show BELIEVES it is offering some form of...

Hello Nikonites, I told a friend that I would help with some work portraits for his website so the eventual pic he uses will be smaller. This is my first time so I did some playing around to try and dial in the settings. I understand I can only display one pic so of the 25 or so test shots I...

This reminds me of the music medium industry. Arguably the best sound reproduction comes from vinyl records. But the market doesn't care so much about sound quality as they do portability, compression rates and of course cross-platform interchangeability. The iPod help transform the music...

Hello Nikonites, I thought maybe someone on this site might have some good suggestions. I'm looking for some kind of software that can blur out faces in videos (to protect their identity). It's for a friend of mine and although he could download freeware he doesn't mind spending a little...

It piqued my interest so I tried it at 600mm without and with a 36mm extension tube. It does get you closer but the second part of your question I suspect would have to be a trial and error. At 600mm without a tube my focus distance was 7m. With the 36mm tube the distance was about 16-18m...

STM's thread about going back in a time machine reminded me of the WayBack Machine that archives old internet sites. It's an interesting historical look at sites around the web. Here's a snapshot of Nikonites in it's growing years (2010). This thread jdeg was asking for moderators and...

Macro focus stacking is pretty hard. I tried to focus stack this flower using a rail system. I need to learn more about editing my layer masks in PS to try and clean up the blurred areas. straight photo: BM6_3915 by BMalinis, on Flickr here is the focus stack attempt:
