The best way to explain it is to show you. Here is an image that had a great deal of sky in it. No adjustments were made other than to resize for the forum. Since I knew I had to raise my exposure - when it's bright, go brighter - I adjusted in camera for EV +1.3 stops. So I took this same...

I thought I asked this a while back but cannot find my post. If you have a Facebook photography page where you post your photos, and if you would allow the Nikonites Facebook page to share your images, please post your Facebook page link below. It would help keep our Nikonites FB page more...

Today is the second time I've run into something unusual. Looking through the images I shot today, the first one is simply a blurry image that is green. It was taken 2 minutes before I took a photo of a birdhouse. The other day I had a couple images of nothing (blurred pics of nothing) that were...

Cross posted from the ID this Bird thread. I'm trying to identify these two ducks. I really like the sensor of the D500 and notice an improved difference compared with the D7200. This sensor reminds me more of the D610 sensor rather than any DX sensor I've used so far (D7200, D7100, and D90)...

Here are a couple of ducks I'd like to identify. Both are quite tame and appear to approach people for food. They were within 2 feet of people both times I've seen them. With this first duck, my guess is some type of hybrid. In the past, there used to be a white duck and a black duck so it's...

Cross posted from my thread. Great Blue Heron checking me out before going back to what it was doing.

My 1.7x TC still struggles. I shot quite a few frames of the Great Blue Heron yesterday. Most images had to be deleted for either being too soft or simply blurred (as if no VR). Took a few images in Live View (thanks for the heads-up to try that, Jake). :encouragement: It wasn't too easy to see...

I wasn't happy to see these helium balloons released locally. After posting in a Facebook group, someone even said they asked the local parks department about balloons. Sadly there aren't any ordinances against them. :sorrow: Wildlife will ingest the mylar as well as eat or get caught up in the...

I don't use Darktable but have to ask...what caused these light-colored splotches in the sky? Were they in the original images, or did they appear after applying Darktable processing? :confused:

Looks like an upgraded battery, @Woodyg3 although I don't know how much it will be different. Dan, will it have the same processor? I'm not familiar with specs of the mirrorless bodies. But the fact that it will have 2 slots is excellent. :cool:

Admittedly these aren't great photos. My sole purpose was to check the sharpness and details available with just the lens after removing the 1.7x TC. That refurbished TC was incredibly sharp when I first got it. But after the 30 day store warranty was over, its sharpness went downhill. For most...

I removed my 1.7x TC since it's been intermittent with its ability and just used the 300mm lens. Osprey nest on a Delaware River channel marker. The personal watercraft was simply a bonus. ;)

This was from Saturday, July 4th. There is a company that rents kayaks and paddle boards at the park. I was surprised with the low number of people Saturday. Only a couple of fishermen and very few walkers/bicyclists. But there were a few people out on the lake. The flip screen is great! I never...

Congratulations @Needa - nicely done!

How many owners of the D500 make use of the various User Banks? There is a Photo Shooting Bank, a Custom Shooting Bank, and a My Menu. All of these can be configured with various settings to make changes somewhat quick but involve having to go into the menu. But with my other bodies, I make use...

So hot today that there wasn't much of any wildlife anywhere except for some geese.

Tomorrow I am hoping to fulfill a dream by taking pics at a park. Why? Because it's Saturday. In the park. I think it was the 4th of July. The day only falls once every so many years. ;) Sorry for the last minute post. If you live near a park and have access to take pics on July 4th, please...

Creative Live is running a 70% off sale sitewide for all their classes. There is a Ben Willmore class called Photoshop for Photographers: The Essentials that is excellent. If you want to learn about Levels, Curves, Masking, Adjustment Layers, etc, this might be for you. The class is on sale for...

I didn't see too much in the way of wildlife this month - which is what I've been photographing the most these past several months. So I have slim pickings. These are my top two for the month of June. Unfortunately neither is my little buddy Wilson. He hasn't been visible in a long time so I'm...

@nickt I've been wondering about the price. When looking at the camel web site, Amazon has had it listed at this price since June 2019. https://camelcamelcamel.com/product/B01A7Q0J3Y Over the past few days, even B&H listed the price as ending as of today, yet when I looked today, that...
