So I recently contacted Tamron USA about calibrating the auto-focus on my 24-70mm f/2.8 G2 prior to doing an important shoot out of state. I dutifully packed up the lens along with my D850 and dropped everything off at the UPS hub. A day or so later it dawns on me to consult my calendar; at...

Listen, and understand. Square Photo Studio is out there. It can’t be bargained with. It can’t be reasoned with. It doesn’t feel pity, or remorse, or fear. And it absolutely will not stop, ever, until your product photography business is dead. Square is Offering Professional Product Photography...

As Cindy points out, the .XMP file is the "recipe card" that contains the metadata for its corresponding raw file, which means the edits you've performed in the raw converter. Delete the "recipe card" and you'll have "cookie dough" (your raw file) but no finished "cookie" (the edited image). And...

Not that I'm in the market, but Adorama has D500 (factory!) refurbs selling for $1,250 as of today, 10 July 2019. Nikon D500 DX-format DSLR Body - Refurbished by Nikon U.S.A. .....

Just ordered a Clutch CL-3 hand-strap made by Peak Design. I'm a little unsure about this purchase but I'm willing to see if it works out because the Black Rapid wrist-strap I have now just isn't doing it for me anymore.

Putting more light on the subject is the simple answer bounce flash, for instance. In lieu of that, processing can help: ..... .....

Only because I *really* want to be able to use both slots. Was it was tough to swallow? You betcha. I don't know if I'm more PO'ed at Nikon for incorporating XQD or Sony for jacking the price. ..... .....

Re: ๑۩۩๑ ● Hook, Line and Stinker ::: Fishbowl-O-Rama 2019 ● ๑۩۩๑ What do I do when my D850 is being serviced and the wife is out and about with her D5300? I start by digging out an ancient, credit-card size (literally!), 12MP, Canon Powershot SD780is. Then by charging the tiny battery...

Assuming you mean stars like this... The simple solution is to use a Cross Screen filter (aka "Star Filter"). Though I've never used one, I've seen them in 2x, 4x 6x (less common for some reason) and 8x.

Re: ๑۩۩๑ ● Hook, Line and Stinker ::: Fishbowl-O-Rama 2019 ● ๑۩۩๑ I was recently hired to shoot at a gym for a fundraising event... It's something I've never done before and sounded fun so I took the job. The client is thrilled and it landed me two more jobs, so I'm pretty happy. ..... ...

I have NOT yet pulled the trigger on this particular lens just yet but I'm giving it serious consideration as my day-to-day walkabout. It's relatively light, relatively fast (aperture-wise), has VC, is at least moderately well weather-sealed, accepts the Tap-in Console and uses 77mm filters...

Heh... That "3.0" in the description refers to the filters "Optical Density"; yet another unit of measurement I wasn't going to dive into. I probably should have since some manufacturers use that designation to describe their filters in lieu of the more common ND rating: .....

Were you using an ND8 filter by any chance? I ask because an ND8 filter is actually a three-stop reduction, not eight stops, as the nomenclature might have lead you to believe. To get an eight stop reduction you'd need to be using an ND256 which is a little uncommon, while ND8's are quite...

Using the White Balance tool in Camera Raw returned a much better image but it still didn't look quite right to me. Too blue, too magneta, too... Something. So then I tried using a couple Curves Adjustment layers instead and was much happier with the result. Might be a little too contrast-y...
