    Review: Peak Design Travel Tripod

    Sort of, yes. The leg profile is actually a weird 6-sided hexagon that reminds me of the Superman emblem. Pardon the crude sketch - I tried to get a couple photos, but it was hard to see all the angles. Looking straight down the tube, this is the leg profile: The short side (bottom) nests...

    Post your Portrait shots!

    Playing with the new D500 and off-camera flash this evening. Also my first time using color gels. I bought a MagMod kit (great system, but expensive) and used a 1/2 CTO gel on this. Had a helluva time color correcting this photo in post because it was way too orange. Still looks a bit orange to...

    Need review on my landscape photo experiment

    Full stop. This is the issue right here. Camera auto modes suck. They're designed to get people taking pics quickly and most people just stay in that comfort zone. It's like riding a bike and never taking the training wheels off. If you have any interest in taking your photography to the next...

    Post your Portrait shots!

    An oldie from 2012. Man, time flies. Found some of these while going through an old Lightroom catalog today. This is when I was experimenting with a dark, edgy look - which is now hip. Guess I was before my time.

    Post your birds (2)

    This is definitely not my thing, as I don't have the gear or the patience for it. But some movement caught my eye this afternoon, and I discovered 4 prairie hawks in one of the maple trees in my front yard. I think there may be a nest up there also, but there's too much foliage to really see it...

    Neewer Slim Fast Battery Charger

    I'm looking for a portable battery charging solution, and this looks like it may fit the bill. If nothing else, it's only $10. No harm, no foul if it turns out to be a piece of junk. Just curious if anyone else has used one of these (or another brand) and what your experiences were.

    Ferguson, MO

    I am strongly considering a road trip to Ferguson, MO after the Thanksgiving holiday. Just curious if anyone else would want to possibly meet up there? No, not to protest or anti-protest. I want to photograph. Yes, I am serious. I shouldn't have to tell you the physical danger you'd be putting...

    16th Century Superheroes

    Sacha Goldberger - Super Flemish You may have seen this floating around the internet today. It's buzzworthy and viral because of the quirkiness, but as photographers, I think we can appreciate a bit more. The lighting in these is phenomenal.

    On Working for Free...

    @PapaST I'm curious to read why you side with Oprah on this? I'm a big fan of the arts for art's sake. That is, local artists showing support for their local communities and performing for free at certain events. Charities, exhibitions, fundraisers and the like. But hell fire, even my small...

    This forum only for Suggestions & Questions regarding Nikonites

    Re: This forum only for Suggestions & Questions on Nikonites This is a common problem with every forum. New people don't read rules, sticky posts, FAQ's, or use the search feature. Blame Al Gore for inventing the internet in the first place. Most people just create an account and dive right...

    They aren't selling many of the regular editions, much less one that is blinged out.
