    Weekly Challenge June 1 - June 8: Product Photography

    Last night, I stacked up a bunch of cans of canned food in various ways,and photographed them, hoping for a good “product” shot,and was dissatisfied with the results. I was going to use one of those shots anyway, if I didn't get a better idea,and I really wasn't optimistic about that better...

    Downloading a sample of one of the OP's images, and checking it locally, it appears that all the EXIF information has been stripped therefrom. Were the pictures resized to 1024 pixels before uploading, or were they uploaded at a larger size, which usually results in the forum resizing them...

    May 2016 Monthly Assignment--READ THE ENTIRE POST FOR THE THEME

    Re: May 2016 Monthly Assignment First Entry: A week ago, I had the honor of serving as the event photographer for the Quinceañera celebration for the daughter of a friend and fellow Campbell's Soup refugee. Part of observance took place in this Catholic church; I think this is the first...

    Advice Needed: Friend's Quinceañera…

    Not really a wedding, but I think the issues involved here are likely to be very similar to those of a wedding, so I figure this is the closest to appropriate category available on this forum. A friend has asked me, on short notice, to photograph his daughter's Quinceañera. I should point...

    Weekly Challenge May 11 - May 18: Vnitage

    Re: Weekly Challenge May 11 - May 18: Vintage Possibly a bit of a stretch. I don't know that this particular toy soldier counts as “vintage”, but it represents a sort of toy that has been around in very similar form since well before I was born. The concept is surely vintage, even if this...

    Computer only reading some photos when I try to upload

    @sarahknj — Have you tried looking at the card under MacOS' Finder, rather than in in any other software? That seems like a vital first step in understanding the problem, to see whether there's an issue with your computer/OS itself reading the card, or just with the particular software that...

    Weekly Challenge May 4 - May 11: Sticky

    Not an entry! I suppose I could take a picture of my screen using my Nikon, rather than doing a screen capture, and then it could be a valid entry. But I think I can come up with a better idea for an entry. Ever since this theme was announced, I keep thinking of this…

    Focus Indicator - Will it work with 50mm 1.8D (manual focus only) lens?

    Also, @Kristin1981, seriously consider replacing the stock focus screen with an aftermarket one. The stock focus screen that came with my D3200, which I assume is the same as in your D3300, is useless for manual focusing. Go to eBay and do a search on the following set of keywords… bresson...

    Post your favorite April shot

    I've recently taken to trying to learn to take flattering boudoir/pinup style pictures of my wife. The vast majority of the pictures that have come of this, including most of the very best ones, I cannot share, but of those that I can, I think this is my favorite so far.

    Weekly Challenge Apr 20 - Apr 27: Shadows

    Doesn't really matter. It was posted more than an hour past the submission deadline, anyway. And according to the Flickr page where it is externally-hosted, it was taken on 01 June 2014. It's ineligible because it was taken nearly two years too early; and because it was posted more than an...

    Boudoir/Pinup Photos of my Wife [Possibly NSFW, but probably not].

    I very much like the lighting that comes in that window during the day. It's very flattering light. But that window also looks out to a public area. Quite understandably, my wife's not OK with that window being uncovered if she's in skimpy lingerie or less, carelessly sharing the unvetted...

    The smaller of these two spheres is .1875 of an inch, or 3/16 of an inch in diameter. The larger one is 0.515 of an inch, or about 33/64 of an inch.

    Boudoir/Pinup Photos of my Wife [Possibly NSFW, but probably not].

    It started several months ago. Unexpectedly, after more than twenty years of marriage, my wife expressed willingness to be photographed while she was bathing, and for me to post such photographs where nobody knows her, as long as they didn't show certain parts that would be covered by a bathing...
