    Weekly Challenge June 5 - 11: Glass/Glasses

    A pair of my prescription sunglasses that have a mirror coating. Tried out several benches to get a decent view from the lake's reflection.

    Resetting File Sequence # to Match Shutter Count

    When I took some photos with my D7100, I noticed the file sequence number and the shutter count didn't match. Thanks to @nickt for a link that explained the process, I was able to match them up. In the shooting menu of the D7100 (and no doubt a menu option for other bodies), d7 gave me the...

    Hark 2019

    Here's one taken with my D7100 at a park event yesterday. This is the only one I had time to edit so far.

    Opions thoughts wanted

    @arshuter I am going to suggest you check out the other two options you had if they are still available. I'm going to be totally honest here. I need to call Nikon to find out about my shutter count. Apparently it is off by 495 from the file number sequence. I purchased it refurbished directly...

    Hark 2019

    There is a Veterans Flag Display at a park this weekend, and I knew I wanted to take photos. All of these were with my D750 - didn't even take a DX body because there were specific shots I really wanted to get. The event really starts tomorrow which means many people will be present. That's why...

    Using ND filters on D5500

    Not to throw a wrench into the discussion, but according to B&H's link for the ICE 10-stop ND filter, it's listed as a Neutral Density 3.0 filter as well as a 1000x filter factor. :eyetwitch: https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1191690-REG/ice_ice_nd1000_77_77mm_ice_nd1000_solid.html

    Hark 2019

    Yesterday I went to the usual spot looking for the Green Heron. Instead there was a dog running around the cove chasing the birds. The dog was just having a little fun. ;) So I decided to make a photo op out of it. The dog's owner was going to call it, but when he saw me taking pics, he resumed...

    Post your favorite May shot 2019

    Once again I'm torn between 2 images for different reasons. The first (Green Heron) is my favorite simply based on how it looks. The second is also a favorite because it took me a while to identify the bird (female Red-Winged Blackbird). Between here and a couple Facebook groups, I finally...

    The Green Heron didn't seem to mind being my main subject this afternoon.

    These have a little of the ick factor going on. Green Heron - reminds me of the toast, 'Through the lips, past the gums, look out stomach, here it comes!' ;)

    Tamron 150-600mm G1 vs. G2

    @wev and @Woodyg3 might be able to give you opinions on both. If I remember correctly, the first version had a lot of issues. I think both members used both versions. However, Woody has been encountering a recurring issue with the second version.

    'Blend If' sliders

    Last week I purchased a course from Creative Live called The Absolute Power of Blend If and wondered if anyone has ever used those sliders for tweaking edits? https://www.creativelive.com/class/the-absolute-power-of-blend-if-blake-rudis?via=site-header_0 It's a different way of masking - and...

    Green Heron at the park. It's surprising a bird that doesn't appear to have much of a neck can extend it so far.

    A few of the Green Heron from yesterday. The heron had just swallowed a very small fish - the Red-Winged Blackbird must have noticed and flew right down.

    Tripod

    I just tried adding the video link, Roy. What I noticed is if I'm in the Quick Reply box, it won't hyperlink the video. I had to go to the Advanced Reply to get it to work. The video is at the end of my post below. This is the carbon fiber tripod shown in the FStoppers video...

    Hark 2019

    I was out looking for something to shoot for the Diagonal weekly theme. Since the instructions said to use diagonal lines to bring the eye into the subject, this is the one I chose for the challenge. Stairway to a Train Station. These other two were contenders. In hindsight, the last one...

    Weekly Challenge May 8 - 14: Diagonals

    Due to the rain, I had to improvise and came up with a different idea. Stairway to a train station.
