I guess this forum must be the place for this... FWIW, I put a short video online about Why Shoot Raw? Because, my own notion is that beginners simply don't have any idea of what Raw can do for their pictures, no clue how they would use Raw. The word EDIT is involved, which scares away...

I've always liked this one

I have posted a "review" of the Yongnuo YN-565EX speedlight at Mini-Review of the Yongnuo YN-565EX Speedlight I like it. Fully featured, fully powered. There are one or two little things (and any warranty seems very unlikely), but it seems impossible for the price. Even if it did not do...

Any ideas about best video focus mode? I'm using the Wide Area AF choice, but panning the camera around is the pits, from all the seeking back and forth. I know all the reasons that is very difficult, but little camcorders do much better. I know their tiny lens and sensor gets near infinite...

Proposal: Nikon seriously needs to make two important flash improvements in the camera firmware. 1. Put the TTL vs TTL BL flash selection choice in the camera firmware. It is a camera function, the camera does this metering. Only one of the current flashes (SB-910) even still offers TTL...

There are always many questions about "Which flash to buy"? This depends of course... Those answering will say "I like this one", or "I have that one", but it seems impossible to answer without knowing how YOU will use YOUR flash? No one ever mentions this when asking. And you may not even...

I have redone an article on Soft Light, at Four Flash Photography Basics we must know - Soft Light I believe it is better now, to show the basic concepts of the lighting we try to do with hot shoe flash.

I offer an article about selecting flash at Beginners Guide to Select a Camera Flash - and Comparing Power Rating of Flash Units with Guide Numbers Not specific, but it includes these things: How much flash and features we may need. Has charts comparing power levels of Nikon flash models...

Nikon iTTL DSLR have used three methods of camera Auto ISO behavior with flash: 1. All those camera models in the D70 to D300 era (2004 to 2009), all left Auto ISO at Minimum value if any TTL flash was present (because we were using flash after all). These would only increase ISO if the TTL...

If interested, I added a very simple demonstration of TTL BL direct flash, showing how it is protected by D lens distance in a good case (meaning, which is sometimes accurate, and sadly sometimes not, sometimes it is worse. Primes are better than zooms). Flash Indoors And also showing...

Nikon's current CLS iTTL flash system was introduced ten years ago. Since then, there were endless discussions about TTL vs TTL BL flash modes. We pretty much know what these do now, and it's died down somewhat. In fact, the only Nikon flash still in production that even has a TTL menu is the...

I use Photoshop, I have not used Lightroom. ACR is the same module in both, but Lightroom does format the same options differently. a) watermark Sorry, dunno, I don't do that. See at bottom below. b) resample to 72ppi You would NEVER want to resample to 72 dpi, never ever. It is WRONG...
