I just watched the latest Terrence Malick movie "The Tree of Life" and once again I was blown away by the most amazing and beautiful images ever put together in one movie. Terrence Malick has one of the most incredible eyes for images, each one of them would be a prized photograph but they come...

For nearly a week now I've been using my D7000 while my D800 is visiting its maker and I now see exactly what people were talking about when they claimed the D7000 matrix metering tends to over expose images. I've read such claims ever since I started with the D7000 but I wrote them off as being...

Okay, here's my first attempt at a Brenizer method panorama image. D7000; 85mm f/1.8G; ISO-100; f-1.8. A total of 16 images

The D7000 is up and working just fine...

It was an awesome show but by the end my D800 kicked the bucket after only 3 1/2 months. But at least I got some great images. It started off with the "Patriots" squad in what I believe are F-14's. And then there was a mix of various airplanes and helicopters...

Here's a very cool set up with a very nice result. Miniature Liquid Worlds by Markus Reugels | Colossal Wassertropfen in Perfektion!

This weekend is the MCAS Miramar air show featuring the Blue Angles and the F-22 Raptor - Welcome to MCAS Miramar Air Show . This will be my first attempt at shooting an air show and was wondering if anyone had any tips or words of advice. I'm planning on bringing my 70-300mm and 24-70mm but am...

I love his "location, location, location" comment. Spot onGuest Post by Jack Brauer on Landscape Photography and Jack's website with some amazing shots - Mountain Photography by Jack Brauer

I revisited this fountain a little earlier in the evening to get a better moon position relative to the fountain. I think I like this version better than an earlier image. D800; 24-70mm; ISO-800; 1/6 sec

Does anyone know of a program or app that will tell you at what angle the sun and moon will be at any given time on any given day? I'm a big fan of the Photographers Ephemeris but they only give you the direction and not the angle relative to the horizon. TIA

Nice read on the golden hour light - "Capturing Golden Light" by Bob Simpson Capturing Golden Light

These 2 panorama photos of San Diego and Coronado Bridge were taken last night. This was my first attempt at capturing the bridge at night and I'm not too happy with this image. I've got to figure out a way to get more height out of the bridge while keeping the moon in the image. Tonight is the...

D800; 24-70; ISO-100; f-2.8; 4 sec

Does anyone know how LR or PS can be adjusted to give constrained crops? I realize you can crop by dragging the corner at a 45 degree angle but it's less than perfect. I would like to keep my X/Y axis ratio constant but so far I've not figured out how to do this but I've gotta believe it's...

Can some explain in simple terms exactly what tone mapping is, why you would do it and exactly how you go about doing it. I'm reading this HDR book and it keeps talking about the importance of scaling back from 32 bit to 16 bit but doesn't explain how to do it. TIA

There's been a weird change when you go to upload an image. You, or at least I, can no longer see the files that I upload but when I hit the "upload" button hoping it had grabbed the file, it worked, but instead of seeing the files and their individual sizes, I saw nothing. Has there been a...
