Re: Post your bokah rich shots! I took this one a few years back in Sainte Mère Eglise, France. I was there visiting the D-Day sites. This is a fence across from where the paratroops landed that was damaged on D-Day. This city was the first one freed on D-Day. (If you saw the movie The Longest...

Adorama has the Nikon 35mm f/1.8G refurb on sale. I don't know how long the sale is but I've never seen a better price.

So you have this spiffy new computer running 64-bit Windows, right? As most Nikonites probably would do, you copy your image library over to the hard drive. Open Windows Explorer and see the folders but not the thumbnail images. Oh, right! You forgot to load the NEF Codec!! Then you read that...

J&R.com is having a labor day sale. The price is $179.99; use the code "geico10" for an additional $10 off. I'm not sure when the deal ends.

I own both a SB-800 and SB-400. I absolutely love my SB-400. I have a D300 and most often have the Nikkor 17-55 attached. The pop-up flash causes a shadow on the image because the lens and shade are too big. Because it is so portable, I'll have the SB-400 with me when the SB-800 will be too...

There hasn't been any sort of announcement or press release, but Nikon has quietly created a Nikon Store website. Personally I'll be watching to see if they stick with list prices or try to compete with the B&H's and Adorama's of the world. Will they have stock when others don't? One notable...

One more thing, I tried a crop on this just to see how it looked. I think it makes the bridge more of a focal point this way. I should get some billable work done now. ;)

I sent you back the file. Let me know if you didn't get it as TIFF files can be big. Since I didn't have a raw file, I took advantage of Photoshop CS5's new feature to open a jpeg as raw. (Once again I relied on a trick from Terry White to show me how.) I selected a spot on the water to set...

Karly: The sky is kind of messed up because I was working from a jpeg, but I used Topaz Adjust's Color Stretch in Photoshop CS5. Interesting effect. What do you think? I also slightly cropped the left side. One comment is that I think you over sharpened the image.

Adobe announced updates to Lightroom and the corresponding Camera Raw plugin for Photoshop CS5. Big news for Nikon mount Lightroom users is the addition of many new lens profiles. I distilled the list from Adobe's Lightroom Journal to be Nikon specific and it is shown below. Adobe also added...

If you are considering purchasing plugins (e.g. Nik Viveza, Topaz Adjust, Alien Skin Bokeh, etc.) for your post processing, check here first. The list is constantly updated with time based codes and offers.

That is simple and sweet!

Nikon Rumors is reporting a rumor that a new flash announcement may be imminent from Nikon. Both the SB-600 and SB-400 are around 6 years old and seem to be targeted.

The main purpose of this update is to add support for the D3100. Official support for Mac OS 10.6.4 is also added. Still no love for native 64-bit versions of Windows. Updates available at your country's Nikon site. U.S. link: http://bit.ly/9Xa52H

GREAT video tutorial and demo on a Donationware product called Enfuse which can create HDR images without leaving Lightroom. I haven't tried it - yet. Here is the link: http://bit.ly/g9RmV

Glad to see this guy got caught. Serves him right! Story: http://gizmo.do/awnyvd

Re: Karlskirche v3 After thinking about Anthony's comments while painting one of the boy's bedrooms this morning, I decided to try Photomatix Pro instead of Photoshop CS5 to generate the HDR. I have to say that I am MUCH happier with the results. Comments and suggestions welcome.

Thanks to the input from Helene and my lingering doubts, I tried a quick crop. It totally changes the "feel" of the image. Thanks for the input!
