    Creative Live will no longer allow new members to sign up for an account starting May 8th. The company changed hands a while back but is supposed to allow current members full access to the classes they purchased. And new content will only be available to those with an account. I've learned a...

    ChatGPT Action Figures

    Did you have to reedit the images it produced? That's what caused problems for me. It wound up changing my face so much from its original creation. These look good!

    ChatGPT Action Figures

    AI definitely seems to be making improvements. I remember when 6 fingers was the norm with AI.

    ChatGPT Action Figures

    I jumped on the bandwagon to create an action figure of myself. This was the first result it created. Although I tried to go in and make a few changes (all of these tend to yield rather chonky bodies), it completely changed the face/hair and wound up with a less desirable action figure. The...

    Z6III Autofocus Failure

    I don't have a Z6iii, but did you look in the menu under the pencil icon – 'a' might be for Focus options. Check to see how it is set.

    I have the Nikon 16-35mm f/4 VR and really need to make more use of it. My Nikon 18-35mm f/3.5-4.5G lacks VR but is incredibly lightweight with tack sharp images. But it isn't weather sealed. I don't think I've used it since getting the 16-35mm. The extra 2mm on the wide end does make a difference.

    Godox V860II-N TTL Flash

    In the past, @Scott Murray posted a macro flash diffuser he made. I don't have time to look for the posts right now, but hopefully I'll have time later today or tomorrow. The examples he shared while using it turned out amazing.

    Godox V860II-N TTL Flash

    As with any flash units, try to allow time between flashes so the unit doesn't overheat. But macro shouldn't take full power flashes so you should be fine. Repeated full power flashes is another way to overheat a unit. If you are able to learn manual flash, that will be the most consistent...

    Godox V860II-N TTL Flash

    I have that one as well as the one Clovishound mentioned. The V860II-N works great, but its battery swelled which made me have to buy a replacement at $39. That flash hadn't been used a lot either; however, I was told swelling is caused by humidity. The thing is I run the AC during the summer so...

    Newbie question

    Check out the Nikon Teleconverter Compatibility Chart. According to this, there are limitations with that lens when coupled with the TC-14EIII. https://www.graysofwestminster.co.uk/pdf/products/AF-S-teleconverter-compatibility.pdf

    My long exposure really captured my interest. I am looking to take more long exposure images but for longer lengths of time than just 1-second. I used a 10-stop Neutral Density filter for this so have a lot of leeway to lower my ISO and increase my shutter speed. This was taken during an...

    W O W! This is absolutely gorgeous, Peter! How does the DX Tokina lens perform on the D610? Other than some vignetting, do you find the images are really nice? I remember Don Kuykendall used to say how much he liked using Tokina lenses.

    Hark's 2025

    The Burges-Lippincott house in Fallsington was built around 1808 for the Lippincott family. One of the family members was a doctor who addressed the needs of families living nearby. Last I knew (several years ago), I'm pretty sure someone was renting part of the house.

    Hark's 2025

    Today once again I set out for Tyler State Park after seeing someone on Facebook post a photo of Mill Dam ... the same dam that was supposed to be removed back in 2023 (I made reference to that in one of my previous posts). Although I was able to see the dam from an elevated level, I couldn't...

    Sunday I headed to Summerseat in Morrisville, a building filled with rich history going back to the days of General George Washington. During the Revolutionary War, General George Washington used this building as his headquarters prior to the infamous crossing of the Delaware River. Last year...

    Hark's 2025

    After reading info on reddit about cliffs in Bucks County, PA, I decided to go in search of some. Unfortunately there were so many fallen leaves, tree branches, and brush obscuring any view of the cliffs that I opted instead to once again photograph Neshaminy Creek (same creek mentioned in my...

    Hark's 2025

    The other day I went to Tyler State Park. Initially I wanted to find Mill Dam which is located on Neshaminy Creek that runs through the park, but before I left the house, I read an article that said the dam was to be removed in 2024 – due to issues it created with the ecosystem. So instead I...
