    Hark's 2025

    When I was a kid, there used to be a retired plane called the Super Constellation that became a restaurant in Penndel, PA. Eventually in 1997, the plane was dismantled and taken to the Air Mobility Command Museum at Dover Air Force Base in Delaware. The property where the plane used to be...

    Hark's 2025

    Thanks, @BF Hammer – no leaves to speak of yet. I'm located in the northeastern part of the US where we have lots of deciduous trees. A few people have posted photos of crocuses starting to bloom. That's usually the first sign of spring.

    Post your favorite February 2025 shot

    @Robin W just don't set your exposure for too long because your stars will turn into star trails (which is a great effect in itself but might not be what you desire). Since you mentioned having a 50mm lens, doing the calculation below, you'd want keep your shutter speed at 10 seconds or less.

    One short stretch of the Delaware Canal. This canal runs from Easton to Bristol, PA and spans about 60 miles in length. It runs near the Delaware River along the east coast of Pennsylvania.

    Hark's 2025

    On Monday I stopped to see the Hulmeville, PA waterfalls but didn't take a tripod or ND filter so decided to go back Wednesday. I really wanted the long exposure effect. Although I have a few different ND filters, including one that is a variable ND filter, the only one at hand was a 10-stop. So...

    Lightroom vs Snapseed – Which One Do You Prefer and Why?

    Adobe Camera RAW is free to use – not sure if it is available for mobile devices though. It has the same tools as Lightroom although with a different layout.

    I have a sharp 45mm... should I get a wide angle (24mm) or improve my portraiture with a sharper 85?

    Are you using an FX or DX body? A wide angle lens is great when used correctly. If you get too close to your subject, it will produce perspective distortion. Sometimes that is a desired outcome. Other times not so much especialy if someone misuses the lens causing unwanted distortion. Wide...

    I'm glad you took a chance on it since online reports were questionable about whether or not it was compatible. Glad to know it fits!

    Wireless remote flash trigger recommendations

    You will need some type of remote as well as a matching receiver (to place beneath the flash unit). Cactus was a brand that was popular here on Nikonites many years ago. No clue whether those are still available. Personally I have a Vello remote and flash trigger (they also make one that is a...

    Woody's Hermosa Luz 2025

    I had no idea crows were carnivorous but sadly found out when they raided birds' nests nearby. I found a couple of newborn baby birds in my yard – both having been killed. One was left in the bird bath. :mad: I guess it is part of their nature, but what a terrible way to find out.

    Since the AD Pro II is the updated version that I don't own, I don't know if what I say will be applicable to the newest body. But if you are looking to transport these strobes with the bulbs attached, Godox makes a separate bulb protector for transporting while the bulb is still mounted. I just...

    Hark's 2025

    Thanks! I've been searching for new subjects and locations especially with things that are historic. Coming up in April, there should be a Native American event that they hold every year. However, I never knew about it before. Last year I caught it close to the end. But when some of them saw the...

    That's a great question! I dunno but I hope you find one. Wouldn't a rear gel have to be sized specifically for that lens though? I'd think rear lenses would come in a variety of sizes depending on how the lens manufacturer made the lens.

    Congratulations, @Robin W – I especially like the reflection! That really adds to the composition.

    Nice acquisition! Does it allow a front filter, or is it too bulbous? I have the Nikon 14mm f/2.8 prime lens. It is so bulbous that is has a leatherette pouch that covers the front element, not a lens cap.

    Feedback appreciated

    This looks less saturated than the original. If you used the slider in LR/Camera RAW, I hope you chose the correct one. The saturation slider is right next to the luminance slider.
