    Nikon 200-500mm Case?

    I know that Nikon was doing everything in their power to keep costs down and compete with Tamron/Sigma - but for such an investment, I would have expected it to come with a padded case of some sort - not just the typical "bag"? And giving it's size, it does not fit into my backpack - so I am...

    Circular Polarizer Recommendation?

    Right now I have a 77mm B+W Slim non-HTC and I am losing 1 1/2 stop just putting it on and 2 2/3 stops of light fully polarized! Not cool! While losing that much light is not too difficult for landscapes - it does post a problem when shooting other non-landscape shots like, wildlife, car...

    Adobe Lightroom Catalogs?

    Being new to LR, I just created one catalog and I have everything I have shot since 2000 in there - everything! While I do like the ability to see everything - it is starting to get very cluttered. I do shoot commercially and personally and I am thinking that I should at least separate the...

    What to bring, what to pack?

    So I am heading out for a hike this weekend to shoot the fall colors here in Colorado. I have a plethora of lenses to bring as well as other gear. All said it would probably nearly 75 pounds if I took everything and the hike might last all of 15 minutes! So time to trim the fat and scale down...

    Media?Press?Photo Vests?

    More and more I am being stopped and asked to put on a safety vest while shooting. I have always received specific vets at professional sports events and will always have to use theirs for that, but more and more nonprofessional events are requiring vests to separate the working photogs form...

    The social side of the Photography Business

    In the day of the digital age and the fact that anyone with a cell phone is a photographer, standing out in business is, well a tough challenge! So when I saw an add for "personalized business consulting" I was a bit intrigued...and made the call. Long story short - three things came form this...

    Lightroom Side Car Files?

    So I have a couple of projects and I am noticing a crap load of XMP files with all my RAW files? Seems to me that this is a way bad idea - as in if these two get separated (ever) all my edits are gone? Also, if I edit a few files on my laptop - now I have to move both files to my desktop and...

    Sharpening?

    I am a long time photog changing workflow as NX2 is no longer usable. I have been spending time in LR and I am very comfortable in PS - but compared to NX2, always felt out of place with the Adobe sharpening tools. I'm looking for more advanced and localized sharpening. Are you guys using...

    Matrix Metering underexposing - sometimes?

    I held back posting for a while to get some shooting under my belt before making any comments. And I will say that in a "lot" of cases the meter is getting it correct - but in strange cases it is not. Here are some examples - I shot some real estate photos, outdoors in bright sunlight with...

    Setting ps files.

    I have been an avid D700 shooter for many theaters and today upgraded to the D810 Back in the day, I (we) used to share Settings Files to help new folks get started. While I have gone through and matched the settings from my D700, there are way more settings and newer upgraded settings in the...
