These were still from yesterday's outing. It's been so long since I had a great opportunity to photograph moving wildlife - so unfortunately I didn't think to increase my shutter speed for the deer. For what it's worth, I did pan, but the shutter speed wasn't quite slow enough to capture the...

After all the problems I've had trying to get Nikon to repair my 300mm f/4 PF, I decided to look at other telephoto options. So @3 weeks ago I did a 3-day rental of the Nikon 200-500mm f/5.6 VR through Allen's Camera.. Unfortunately it was just too heavy for me to hand hold (tennis elbow and...

Recently I posted about purchasing a Desmond Demon Ball Head. While I haven't yet tried it out, I found one of the Amazon reviews on how to adjust it to be informative. This ball head has a knob for panning and another knob that offers two separate adjustments. If anyone has general tips on...

I've been agonizing over an arca swiss ballhead - although I'm not a big arca swiss fan, there are reasons why one would be beneficial. So after spending a lot of time comparing brands and reading reviews, I settled on the Desmond Demon DB-44 ballhead. Eventually I might swap out the clamp and...

I've been watching some YouTube videos on creating vignettes. There are other more controllable options besides just adding a standard vignette in Lightroom or Camera RAW. This first one is by Anthony Morganti - he uses the radial filter in Camera RAW or Lightroom. But he makes two different...

I seldom ever see a Great Egret.

Once again Adorama has their Evolv XXX lights on sale. These are rebranded Godox AD200/300/400/600 strobes. So B&H counters by putting the Godox strobes on sale. Even the flash units that are comparable in strength to the Nikon SB-910 are on sale. Those 3 are below (just be aware the one unit...

Our water restrictions were removed today so no more having to boil water for washing dishes (used bottled water for drinking, cooking, and brushing teeth during the restrictions). So once again I returned to the area where I took previous photos after the flood. Today that railing along the...

This afternoon I returned to the area where I took the previous river images. At least the height of the water is going down slowly. Although I've never seen a train on these tracks, I think a slow-moving train might make deliveries. For this image, I pulled out the flip screen on my D750, bent...

I am really interested in compositing, but it's more than just pasting images onto a background. The lighting and color temperature have to match along with the correct perspective. After watching a number of videos by Ben Shirk, Joel Grimes, Matt Kloskowski, Phlearn, and others to really grasp...

Fortunately no problems right here. Yesterday morning I attended a viewing then went out to see the devastation. This off ramp from a state road (which exits onto another state road) was a mess with the tree blocking more than half of the exit. Despite reporting it to the state online, it took...

Yesterday's Hurricane Ida left 7 tornadoes in its wake between New Jersey and Pennsylvania. This one crossed over from New Jersey into Pennsylvania right at the Burlington Bristol Bridge. The storm left many roads impassable due to flooding from Philadelphia up into New Jersey. By the time I...

Today only B&H has the Tiffen Variable Neutral Density Filter on sale in 72mm, 77mm, and 82mm sizes. Prices range between $59.99 to $79.99 which is before the $20 mail-in rebate (so $39.99 to $59.99 final cost). The PDF rebate is linked directly on the same page as the filter. The filter rotates...

Since I like to promote focusing on elements of composition, there are a couple different options for this month. Look for either one or more Triangle(s) or Diagonal(s) in your image. These are lines within your frame that allow the viewer's eye to move around. For these options, you are free to...

Tagging is the same thing as a mention, @wev - just put an @ in front of someone's name.

Both B&H and Adorama list the Nikon MB-D16 Multi Battery Power Pack on sale for $136.95 (regular price is $336.95). According to Adorama's listing, the price expires today, August 29, 2021. B&H is sold out of theirs so not sure if it can still be purchased at that price. Considering the D780...

I copied nikonpup's post from another thread to address it here. This is some type of coding issue. I've run into something very similar on another forum and brought it to jdeg's attention again. I'm not sure the issue here on Nikonites is caused by using an apostrophe as it is in the link, but...

Phlearn posted a temporarily free tutorial on removing objects in Photoshop. Supposedly it will be available through August 31, 2021. All three tutorials should be available through the following link. It's broken up into 3 segments: Simple Object Removal - 1.75 hours with 7 videos...
