While out searching for a this week's challenge (converging lines), I came across this interesting building. I want to look into its history - if it even has one. These train tracks aren't part of the commuter rail lines although commuter tracks aren't too far behind the building. I'm wondering...

This happened in my extended regional area. A bride received her images only to find some had blinking eyes horribly Photoshopped. Supposedly those blinking eyes images were outsourced. It doesn't sound as though the photographer looked at any before sending the photos to the bride...

It sounds like there is a communication issue between the camera and lens. As Sparky mentioned, when using a lens with an aperture ring, that ring needs to be set to the smallest aperture (usually f/22 or higher depending on the lens). You control/change the aperture only through the camera...

I have both the D750 and D500. For wildlife and when the extra reach is needed, I choose the D500 first. For everything else, I go with the D750. Both are excellent, and both have their advantages. The low light capabilities of the D750 are a little better than the D500 - but it definitely isn't...

Yesterday I posted in a different thread showing results from my 300mm f/4 PF and Nikon 1.7x TC combo. Here are a couple more from today. When this pair works well, the results can be stellar. I believe this was a very young Robin. It didn't fly away like they normally do. But with the effective...

A couple more from today.

Since I didn't have time to recalibrate the Autofocus before leaving today, I simply set the Auto Fine Tune value to zero. Here is an image from today. It was overcast. At times the lens locked focus, but other times it couldn't achieve focus at all. And I switched between single point focus as...

I swear I have a love/hate relationship with this Nikon 300mm f/4 PF lens. Sometimes it can be stellar while many times it just hasn't worked properly. Based on images I sent to Nikon repair, they said the lens was fine. Then for some reason it would barely focus - it would start to focus then...

Congratulations @Needa - very well done!

This definitely ISN'T a good image. A local falconer (not the man I know) had a female Harris Hawk go missing. So I spent time searching today. Since my 100-400mm lens isn't long enough, I opted to add my 1.4x TC. With it I knew I'd be able to get a larger view in camera for identification...

As Fred mentioned, what you need is to learn about depth of field. Your aperture controls the depth of field. Other things that factor into depth of field are the focal length used as well as how close you are to your subject. I really like this app called Simple DoF (a paid app) because of...

If you have the full version of Photoshop, there are a variety of free items you can download such as prebuilt design elements like branding layouts, wireframes, charts, vector shapes, patterns, backgrounds, and brushes. The brushes are interesting. You can add fog to a photo using one of the...

I've wanted a slider for a while for multiple uses. This was the last one on Amazon made by Zecti. It is a twin to a Neewer brand slider. Carbon fiber and can hold the weight of a DSLR with a reasonably heavy lens (11 pound weight load). Not sure why the Neewer on Amazon is listed as a 2-pound...

This one is my favorite - not because it's a stellar image but because of the meaning behind it. While doing their job, two Pennsylvania State Police Troopers were killed on I-95 by a drunk driver. This is only a fraction of the police who attended to ride in the funeral procession. It shows...

@Dangerspouse - since you chose the topic, can you help clarify?

On March 21st, two Pennsylvania State Troopers on I-95 were speaking with a pedestrian when they were killed by a drunk driver. Yesterday was the funeral for one of the troopers. It took a coordinated effort by police from multiple municipalities as well as state police to close roads for the...

The first one I posted was from my iPhone. The problem is I wasn't able to completely correct the distortion to the buildings. So here is my RAW edit from my D750. I was able to pull a little more detail from some areas of the clouds, too.
