I was going through some older photos the other day and saw some I thought might merit some lightroom time. If I remember correctly, I was shooting across a small pond with a 70-300 lens when I took this. I expected that when I zoomed in I would see good detail on the crane and life would be...

And it has to be my brain. I have forgotten how to shoot. I went out yesterday with the new toy just wanting to get used to the new toy and its performance. I am using a Z8 with a 20-120 f4 S. I was toying with different settings and trying out different modes. It was bright with a good breeze...

Hello, I have been doing some shopping lately for a new tripod and have come to the realization that I just do not know enough to make a good decision. From looking at pictures, it is hard to see a valuable difference between the 250 dollars ones and the 50 dollar ones. I even saw one carbon...

I have to learn lenses all over again as well as the camera. I just ordered my Z8 and am casually looking around for Z lenses to replace the F ones. It used to be that I could tell you that this or that was a particularly good lens , but with these new lenses, I know nothing. What would be a...

Well I just bit the bullet and ordered the Z8. I sure hope it is as super duper as I've read. I would complain about the ridiculous amount of money ( at that price it should come with its own driver) I spent to get it, but Nikon has never been the economical choice. I did get the adapter for...

I went back to lightroom classic. As much as I do not like paying for the subscription, I need a program that I am familiar with for a while until I can learn a new one. For some reason my edits are being exported without any exif data and as jpegs of varying sizes. some are a few hundred kb...

and away we go

I have used photoshop and lightroom on my windows computer for quite some time. I recently purchased a new computer and went with a Mac this time. I would not have a problem using the same software again, except that now you can only get LR as a subscription. I like Lr very much, but balk at...

Hello, I bought my GF this camera for Christmas so that she could take and upload product shots for her side business. The salesman assured us that it would connect to the laptop that she purchased at the same time (Win10). Now while trying to accomplish that, I am only seeing how to connect to...

While attempting to edit some shots in light room, I was presented with what you see below. How did it happen and how can I save that rendering? The only thing I did was to click on develop. It is a pretty cool image though. I would love to have a copy just like it.

Hello, I have just received an assignment for work. I need to make a 2 to 3 minute video that displays our sequence of operation during plant production. I have a brand new spiffy D850 to do it with. What I dont have is any idea how to get this done. I've never shot a video before, much less...

Well of course when I called on it I found out that it is a grey market camera. The question becomes "Is it worth the $700 or so savings to have no warranty?" I've never bought grey market before, but this is tempting. Thoughts?

Hello all. What should I be certain to look for when inspecting this item? I was all set to buy a used d810 and new Tamron 24-70mm 2.8, but it all fell apart. I was looking at the Tamron because reviews had said that it was just as sharp as the Nikon but at half the price.. While looking...

Wish I could meld the top half of one with the bottom half of the other!

If I am not doing this correctly please advise of correct method. I just went out and tried some shots in the back yard and now have some questions. D7000 manual mode. 200mm f4 lens. early evening light. f16-f22. 200-250 shutter speed. 1. what is the correct format to include a photo so that...

I need to get some lighting handled. Would R1C1, ring lighting, or something else be better?

Hello, Recently I have gotten interested in the idea of extreme macro. Close up photos of a bug's face or the center of a flower are good examples. There are plenty of cool samples online. I read that you could take a macro lens and a prime lens, connect them together via a step down ring and...

Hello everyone! It has been quite a while since I have logged on.. life has gotten in the way of fun for too long. I am seeking to print large prints of some of my better shots, but have some questions. My normal process is to take the photos in raw, edit them in lightroom, and save as .jpeg for...

Hello all, I know it has been a while, but i am finally getting back around to my photography itch. Spring and summer are super busy in my industry and other projects have eaten up the dollars that i wanted to spend on lenses earlier. Time and money have not been on my side. First, thank you...

Some time ago I posted that I was having a hard time deciding between a D7000 and D800 to replace my D70. The response was not only universal, but rock solid and right on point. Thank you to all who shared your experience. The advice given was to get the D7000 and spend the savings on some nice...
