    Clovis' Nikon Nuggets

    Well, aforementioned trip was a big disappointment. Extremely high tide kept us from the beach. I saw a break in the tree line that gave a look at the surf. Wind was whipping, and blowing the spray behind the waves. Looked really interesting. I set up the tripod and tried getting some images of...

    Weekly Photo Challenge Feb 7th - 13th "@ F-8"

    I didn't set out to take this one to qualify for the challenge, but I thought I had my camera set to F8 this morning. Checked the EXIF data and it turns out I was correct. Not a very successful outing. Got up at 4:00 and drove an hour and a quarter, braved the cold and wind, only to have an...

    d3300 flash problems

    The first thing that came to my mind is that you are using it to shoot pictures of a roller derby. How far are you from the subject? If the distance is too great, there may not be enough light bouncing back to the flash for it to recognize. Have you tried the same setup at a fairly close...

    Clovis' Nikon Nuggets

    Since there were so few entries in the "Sidewalk" challenge, I decided to take a few pictures of some sidewalk art the next house over. The images weren't as interesting to me as I had envisioned (imagine that!), but I decided to post one anyway to help out the challenge. After posting it I got...

    Anyone making slideshows?

    Yeah, I need to get a little more organized. I thought I had duplicated some of the pictures in the latest 4k I posted, and so I deleted it to rework it. I have since discovered I didn't duplicate anything, I just had a file naming issue. I'm sure that some of the other software is easier to use...

    Anyone making slideshows?

    I have Gigapixel. I don't have an issue with needing to upscale my images. All of them are over 4K of 3840x2160. In fact, I have been having to downsize them to keep PS from running too slow. Batch mode sounds good, if nothing else I might try batching them, but keep the upscale at 1x with a JPG...

    Anyone owned both the D7200 and D7100?

    At first glance, I thought "How did he know I took this at Magnolia Plantation?". Then I realized you were asking if it was a magnolia tree seed pod. Yes, on both the tree and the park.

    Anyone making slideshows?

    I reworked the second swamp wildlife video at 4K. Took quite a while to render, but uploaded faster than I thought. I was a little hesitant to label it as 4K before it went through the system, but it lists 4K as a quality option. You were on point, Fred. The 4K looks much better. I may replace...

    Anyone making slideshows?

    OK, I tried making a higher resolution SS. I thought I might try the full sized TIFs again, but had two problems. One PS was running in syrup, again. Two, all the images were different sizes. I'm sure this is due to differences in cropping of the RAW file during processing. I ended up making a...

    Anyone making slideshows?

    That one I just used the 1500x1000 jpgs I already had and then rendered them at 1080i 29.97. I really didn't feel like going to the trouble of resizing that many photos and then ending up with a really big rendered file. The resolution is fine for someone looking at a laptop screen or smaller...

    Anyone making slideshows?

    I added one more. That will probably be it for a while, although I may continue to explore some options until I crank up taking more pictures once spring rears it's head.

    Anyone making slideshows?

    Well, I tried using the full sized TIF files. My computer wasn't happy with it. I also discovered that there were higher resolution outputs than "high quality". I tried a new SS using my 1500x1000 jpegs and then used 1080i 29.97 for the quality. It rendered a much larger file, and probably took...

    Anyone making slideshows?

    Well, first try. I worked from the jpeg images I save for posting. I was afraid to use the full sized TIF files thinking it make working with, and rendering too slow and an unwieldy mp4 file. I rendered it at the highest quality available in PS, but I suppose the 1500x1000 original images...

    Anyone making slideshows?

    OK, here it is. I didn't realize that there was someone else on Youtube with my user name, only with a capitalization difference.

    FX lens on DX body

    The 70-300 DX kit lens You might consider using manual with auto ISO. That way your shutter speed will remain constant. In aperture preferred, the aperture remains constant and the shutter speed changes. Of course in manual with auto ISO, you still have to keep an eye on your ISO. Still, I'd...

    FX lens on DX body

    Are you keeping an eye on your shutter speeds? I'm sure you know that 300mm on a DX performs like 450mm and needs the corresponding higher shutter speed when hand held.

    FX lens on DX body

    There are a few folks who say that an FX lens on a DX body MAY not be as sharp as a comparable DX lens on the DX body. Most think that because the DX body only uses the central part of the image, which is the sharpest, it will perform even better. I've used several FX lenses on DX bodies, and...

    Anyone making slideshows?

    Well, I downloaded some royalty free music from You Tube, just to be sure there are no copyright issues, and reworked the slideshow. I uploaded it just now. Apparently, I have to wait until midnight before it will magically appear. I'll post a link when it becomes available. The worst thing was...
