Here's an image I captured last night in Hillcrest. Many of the cities surrounding San Diego have these city signs and I'd like to collect night photos of all of them. I started here in Hillcrest which is an area of San Diego similar to the Castro in San Francisco or Dupont Circle in DC - lots...

As those of you know me know my belief on the future of the DX format and as such am not surprised by this latest article by Nasim Mansurov. Why DX has no Future

How many people are fastidious in keeping their Lightroom catalogue(s) properly indexed? And by that I mean are all your images tagged with the appropriate keywording, etc.? And on this same subject, how many photographers here use multiple catalogues? I've not yet started additional catalogues...

It's been about a month since I read anything on post processing photos so I thought I'd bring the topic back up. In the past such threads would quickly break down and the thread would get locked up. But truth be told, I can't understand why. Is there something going on that I'm not aware of...

This may sound funny but this is my first real HDR image. I used Nik HDR efex to render it. So Ted, how am I doing? :)

Are there any former surveyors in the group that can give me tips on how to set my tripod to be flat in less than the 5 to 10 min it seem to take me now? I know there has to be a better way than how I'm doing it now, which is just trial and error. I level the camera on the tripot pointing one...

A little street photography. I captured this yesterday on the Embarcadero. D800; 24-70mm; ISO-110; f-5.6

This is Lana, she's the 32 yr old former matriarch of the Bonobo troop at the SD Zoo. The reason she's now the "former" and not current matriarch is that last year they combined the Bonobo troop from the Wild Animal Park (now called "Safari Park") and the other troop was lead by Lana's 38 yr old...

The last few days I've been out wandering the city with both my D7000 and D800 around my neck. One with a long telephoto and the other with a wide angle to normal zoom (24-70mm). It's been nice having to two cameras with different lenses on, no longer having to stop and swap out lenses. But...

I took this image this afternoon in Balboa Park. It has some interesting lines but I can't decide whether I like it or not. Does this work for anyone? TIA D7000; 70-300mm; f-10;
