    That's the one I use. I prefer to use an $80 external drive to backup and store my pictures, rather than paying an additional $10 a month for a TB of storage.

    Did anyone get some photo related gifts?

    I shot one wedding in my life. It was back in my film days. One of the guys in my squadron was getting married and wanted me to shoot the wedding. I told him I didn't think my skills were up to it. He told me it was either me or someone with an Instamatic. I didn't charge, and gave him the...

    Moon pictures - what went wrong?

    As has been talked around, your image is over exposed. The reason for this is that you are relying on the camera to decide the exposure. The camera is averaging everything. You have a large amount that is completely dark, and the subject is brightly lit by the sun. You are going to have to...

    Did anyone get some photo related gifts?

    Well, I got Lightroom installed, and used it to edit a photo of my other Christmas present. I had to dig out the old D3400 to get a picture without a blank spot in the foam. This thing loaded is heavy enough that I think I will use a small carrier, think a very small folding hand truck, to carry...

    Did anyone get some photo related gifts?

    Mine wasn't strictly photo equipment, but the motivation was related. I've been a little frustrated that my computer was rather slow with Lightroom in certain operations. Topaz hasn't exactly been a speed demon on it either. I worked out a deal with Santa to pick up part of the tab for a...

    Edinburgh City in colour

    I'll bet Tristan Farnon had something to do with it.

    Just to add, if you want to get into mirrorless, but money is really tight, Nikon currently has the Z50 with a 16-50 F4 lens on sale for $900. It is a crop frame sensor with 21 megapixel resolution and 11 fps shutter. I have experience with the entry level crop frame DSLR (D3400 and D5600), and...

    Something else to consider. You are used to a prosumer camera. It sounds like you are going to be making money with your photography. It also sounds like you don't have much in the way of older DX lenses. Assuming that, I would suggest you look at a mirrorless camera in the prosumer line. You...

    I've already posted these elsewhere here, but these were my attempt to do just that.

    Advice on composition

    Just for comparison, here's another of the series that doesn't have the issue with the folks in the chair, or leaning columns. Unfortunately, this car has a bit of a different look, which doesn't appeal to me as much, and the reindeer accouterments are somewhat distracting.

    Heron consuming Rodent

    Judging by the file numbers generated by the camera, the last one was taken before the first two.

    Advice on composition

    Well, Fred, that does help balance out the image. Problem is that I know Magnolia well enough that that big hedge that I know isn't really there doesn't quite set just right in my mind. Was that AI fill? After doing some thinking, and playing around a bit in LR and PS, I came up with this...
