Most decent tripods rated for 22 pounds and higher should be able to support the weight of the Sigma lens. If I were to look for another tripod, I wouldn't hesitate to look at Leofoto. I purchased one of their monopods and liked it so much that I purchased a second one. But it has twist locks...

Is there anything on your sensor? If it was cleaned, maybe there's still some residue on it that smeared?

One of these days I will make the trek to the New Jersey shore. It's about a 50 minute drive from where I'm at in Pennsylvania. I miss seeing the ocean. Where were these taken?

I have the Epson Perfection V600 Scanner which I used with my Windows 7 PC. I switched to using a Mac so I'll have to see if I can find drivers for it. Although I never used it to scan slides, I did use it to scan negatives and photos. Plus I loved the option to scan as TIFF files. That allowed...

If I remember correctly, that lens wasn't rated very well. The 24-120mm f/4 is much better.

If you are reading Nikonites with a PC or Mac browser, you might want to consider adding the EXIFY add-on to your browser. When you hover over an image, the EXIF will display. But thank you for mentioning the capture details! And welcome to Nikonites.

I'm interested in learning how to create graphics in Photoshop. Photoshop has a few vector tools such as the text tool and the pen tool. My reason for purchasing Affinity Designer 2 is to pick up anything I might not be able to do in Photoshop. This is just the beginning of my journey, but it's...

It's my understanding that Camera RAW is free to use even without a subscription. It has the same tools as Lightroom but uses a different layout. However, it doesn't have the organizer. So if you only used LR, it would be a viable option. But since you mentioned also using Photoshop, I don't...

However, I don't have the M1 or M2 options as mine is an earlier version. So not sure how the M1 or M2 handle photo editing. Hopefully someone here who has one can offer insight.

I don't have a MacBook - I have an iMac and really prefer it over Windows. My first two PC's were Dell desktops. Neither one held up well at all although an Asus laptop running Windows 7 was excellent. When I purchased this iMac, it came with 16GB Ram. I expected to be able to add Ram on my...

I use Godox (but not the V1), and some of their strobes have issues with overheating. But I haven't used my Godox flashes in conditions where overheating might occur such as HSS or shots taken in quick succession. Wish he would have addressed it though.

If anyone is interested in buying a non-Nikon flash, Fstoppers rates 5 flashes: Neewer, Godox, Westcott, Sony, and Profoto (listed in order of cost). I was surprised at the results.

By any chance did you get that from Allen's Camera? They had one with about that number of shutter actuations, and I remember it was a good price, too. Have fun with it. It's an amazing body!

We are half way through the month. Does anyone have images to submit for this month's assignment?

Definitely a compelling breakdown by Jared Polin pointing out details from these veteran photographers. I also agree the image Jared cited as most likely to receive a Pulitzer will be the one chosen. The video is definitely worthy to be watched.

Welcome!

What an usual looking bird! Nicely captured, Roy.

My area had Mammatus Clouds last week. It's the first I've ever seen or even heard of them. If you aren't familiar with how their name originated, you might want to look it up. 🙃 They went from a grey, to a pale pink, then to various shades of coral and even a vibrant golden orange.
