And here's my Ultimate Solution. Turns out I was overthinking this whole thing and the problem solver was this $7 cold shoe from Amazon. All I had to do was remove the bottom mounting screw from a QD plate and attach the cold shoe to the QD plate using the included short screw from the top. It...

Just what I've been looking for: a cold-shoe with a standard 1/4" x 20TPI screw. These will be used to attach flash units to a couple cheap tripod & ball-head combos I have laying around that aren't being used. I plan to attach a cheap QD plate to the bottom screw and epoxying all the threads so...

Okay, here's a quick and dirty retouch. NO PIXEL PEEPING! . :D Fortunately there wasn't much texture on her face to worry about, which made this easier than expected. I could spend more time on getting the skin looking smoother and more natural but I thought this was a good start. I think the...

Desert Sculptures by Ricardo Breceda. All are handmade from steel plates, wire, natural stone and found objects/materials. There are over 130 sculptures in total scattered about the desert. Unfortunately I wasn't properly prepared for this shoot and I have very few decent photos to show for my...

Okay, this is weird... Earlier this morning I was going through my storage-only camera bag (where I keep less used items I don't want to tote around in my everyday bag) in prep for a shoot tomorrow. Suddenly I find a Nikon 24mm f/2.8D that I swear I've never seen before. I do not remember...

Well it's all personal opinion but here's what I did. Curves Adjustment to up the contrast a bit. Burned the bird's legs, chest and neck a tiny little bit. Burned the edges of the frame, sort of a vignette really, to make yer bird stand out a little better. Removed some of the extraneous...

Hey Cindy... Certainly no need to apologize and condolences on the passing of your neighbor. As for you wanting to learn to Mask your Gaussian Blur filter, it's easy-peasy... Once you know how. :) For me, Masking was One of Those Things that needed to "click", I needed that "ah HA!" moment and...

Well the Exposure Meter is supposed to move toward the left if reducing exposure and to the right if increasing exposure, like you see here: If you have dialed in both your shutter speed and and aperture, then the only way EC can adjust your exposure is by adjusting the ISO. What mode are you...

I wasn't sure if this could be done or not, so I just tried it. What I did was open a .JPG as a Smart Object in Photoshop. From there I duplicated the layer (Ctrl +J). The Copy Layer, it should be noted, opens as a Smart Object; meaning the Smartness carries over, which is nice. I then opened...

I'd be happy to but I'm not terribly conversant with Apple OS's and software. I would *think* that just about any application you would use to view your photos on, say your iPad, can probably (probably!) open your raw files. This is different than importing raw files however because an Import...
