    Phottix Triggers

    I have Yong and Phottix triggers. Both triggers have been really good. The downside of the Phottix is they come as one trigger and one receiver and I have wanted one more receiver. So the other day I go into my local camera shop and they have some stuff on clearance - Phottix triggers normally...

    I hate this photography "news" article.

    Came upon this article of a woman who lost her husband and when the photographer was taking photos a rainbow kept appearing in the images. Sure it's a sad story, but your photographer wasn't very good if these "rainbows" kept showing up because she's shooting into the sun...

    Anyone in Alaska? Summer 2019

    A friend of mine, he shoots Canon but he's a good guy otherwise, are planning a trip to Alaska for the summer of 2019. We know this trip is going to be costly, but he's never been to Alaska and I would love to go back. I have hosted couch surfers in the past on their travels in/through Utah and...

    What is your technically hardest photo you have created?

    During the 2017 North American Eclipse I shot my technically hardest photo I had ever shot. While some have oohed and aaahed over different shots I have created in the past no one has ever recognized the most difficult shot I ever created. It made me wonder what others most difficult shot is...

    Shooting jpeg only, that was nerve racking!

    I have always shot raw. From day 1 to now, always raw. Sometimes I will have a combo of raw/jpeg for a quick showing of an image, but raw is always there. So today I was shooting a dance performance and it was going to be fast moving, really fast moving between all the various performers. There...

    Need some input for a huge stitched landscape

    Below is a sample of the lower third of the Goosenecks. The river twist back and forth through the canyons. My shots are composed of 42 images shot vertically. When trying to stitch them together in Photoshop I'm guessing the curvy lines, fall away lines of the canyon walls, and the very content...

    Nikon to focus on medium and high end DSLR's.

    Came upon this article talking about a press release in Japan. The long and short of it is that Nikon plans on focusing on the medium and high end DSLR's, not introducing so many models, and a proper assumption would be I guess thinning out the offerings at the entry level. I'm curious on what...

    Did I get a DEAL!

    It was a matter of the right place at the right time. So I'm helping my sister-in-law move her business into a new building. The prior business owner that was in the building had just bought an inexpensive, price is the entire point, set of studio strobes (220 watt) packaged with backdrops and...

    Finally warrantied it. A question.

    Finally sent it in They sent me the estimated repair bill for "sensor dust" of $0 that I accepted. Are they still trying to repair the D600's or just replacing with the D610? This was my first time sending it in. Thanks

    Do you have a last photo of the year ritual?

    Every year I spend the last 15 minutes of the year photographing this pizza parlor that's located in a historic building on a historic street. In that 15 minutes, everyone that walks through is composited into the photograph making it my last photo I shoot each year. Does anyone else have a last...

    Need DF people to answer quickly, please.

    I have the opportunity to pick up a brand new DF for $1800. I know it sounds too good to be true, and I can't go into the details and it's not stolen either, but I need some info quickly before pulling the trigger. 1. I understand it essentially has the D610 focusing system. Have you found this...

    Added a D750 to the bag.

    I wanted really really bad to get a D500. I had my hands on one, played with it, and was committed. Then, as fate would have it, a coming long term photo gig presented itself and as much as I wanted the D500 with it's really impressive high ISO I ultimately had to pull the trigger and add...

    Impressive high ISO performance

    @Theraphosa I have been waiting to see if the D500 can deliver on it's high ISO performance. Now that a few of them have hit the street we are now seeing real world images. I am very impressed. Using a donated photo I decided to do a quick noise clean, once with Nik Tools Dfine and then a mask...

    Computer monitors and monitors for photography

    @hark requested that I put something together discussing monitors relative to photo editing. This started when another member, MinnBen was having a problem with miss matched colors. First let me say this is can be a very complex discussion with even more opinions. My intention is to keep it...

    How painful jpeg can be.

    A friend of mine is in Alaska. She is taking pictures with her Nikon point and shoot. I'm in no way knocking a person for having a point and shoot or shooting in jpeg, but after years of working with raw it is so DIFFICULT to work with a jpeg image. So much missing due to the compression it...
