Assuming aluminum legs, they can be sold as scrap at a scrapyard. Could be worth pennies! The way to maximize the sale amount is to dismantle the tripod to get all the separate metal parts isolated. Then the aluminum gets a higher "clean aluminum" rate. Separating steel, brass, and copper also...

My signature night-day watch photo I'm sort of known for on some collector forums. Needed to make one for this watch anyhow. D750, Tamron 90mm, Manual mode ISO 100, 25sec, f/8 for the night. Aperture-Priority Auto-ISO (320), f/8, 1/100sec for day. Feb 5, 2023

https://www.sco.ca.gov/upd_msg.html The California unclaimed property search is near the top of that web page.

I actually see a listing for my mother's estate (deceased 22 years) but it does not show on the State of Wisconsin official unclaimed property database. So I question the accuracy of the Missing Money site. Might be a lot of obsolete data. The amount of money listed was under $50 anyhow. No hits...

Also be aware that if you set the color preference back to default, it will also take away the Nikonites logo as well as being blue again.

Agree, it is not fully black on my PC and phone. I would have said brown, but dark olive maybe fits the description. If I activate Windows PowerToys color picker, the black lens part of the Nikonites logo reads a proper "000000" hex value for pure black, but the banner is "333300" hex. Different...

Excellent! Feels like we are finally unpacked in a new home now.

Don't feel dirty Fred. I have an older Lumix pocket-sized camera also. The Leica glass is not near the same class as an M-mount lens, but it is still a step-up from the competition's similar cameras.

RawTherapee could use improvement on how the tools are grouped and arranged. It feels like you jump around instead of following a linear workflow. My best advice is to figure out which things you do regularly in the same way nearly every time, set and save that as a profile (in the upper-right...

I had no regrets with upgrading a D7000 to a D750 in 2019. Better detail with the higher resolution sensor, and less noise in the shadows. I have that 24-120mm f/4 lens, it is a great mid-budget lens to have if you don't have money for the f/2.8 Holy Trinity zooms. I can only imagine that the...

My Z5 got a stick-on screen protector right away. But no complaints about the screen from me. I also have similar screen protectors on my D750 and D600-IR conversion. Just this afternoon I had to replace the screen protector on my new-ish Motorola cellphone. It got an impact crack this past...

Yes, if your tripod is that beat-up, I say it's time to buy a new one. What you buy, I cannot advise on. Tripods come in so many designs and flavors that it really comes down to what you personally think is the best configuration. Me personally, I have bought carbon fiber tripods the last 3...

@blackstar I took the liberty to just use one of your silhouetted bird shots and try to adjust in RawTherapee. Keep in mind, I'm using your low-res exported JPG file. I applied the D750 color profile, but to no immediate visible difference. I think it would have changed for the better with a...

I have similar issues with my Z5. The color profile the camera uses is working against you. Are you just processing JPEG files? You need to experiment with custom color profiles in the Z6. You can adjust an existing profile, or just download one. You can put a several profiles on the body and...

Make the effort worth it! Night owls miss out on half of the daily golden hours.

I recognize some of Alyn Wallace's work. I watch his videos often. I am sure some others have been shown on his monthly What's In The Night Sky video astrophotography contests. There are a couple I know I could recreate. But then I would be a simple imitator. They are working above my league.

I didn't know. George also made another video that I did not view yet about the technical stuff for the camera and using a star tracker. Mostly the stuff I learned from Neowise in 2020 I imagine.

It's over 10 years old now and Google no longer has the files to download, but if you find it somewhere else, Picasa photo viewer does work. I believe you will still have to install Nikon's CODEC. Picasa is still installed on my Windows 10 machine just for me to use the photo viewer. The photo...

The current reports are that the comet is now visible through binoculars. There is coma and tail visible in photos done with telescopes. This comet should be just bright enough to try capturing with camera and lens for exposure stacking. The video is a photographer's estimate for best nights...
