Has anyone here tried using the Sigma Art focus fine-tuning USB dock?

On my D600 and D800, lenses needed fine tuning. With the D850, I tried the auto fine-tune feature. It works very fast, but ALL of my lenses are showing ZERO adjustment. That's hard to believe. And yet, I cannot prove that is wrong based on normal testing for back- and front-focusing. Is the...

Just a quick warning if you try to set up your Custom Settings Bank and your Photo Shooting Menu Bank. This was something I had never used on my D800, essentially shooting in bank A all the time. I had my D850 all set up the way I like it, then I created a Custom Settings Bank B and Shooting...

JPEG (cropped) Straight out of the camera, no noise reduction or any other adjustments. I still have not had enough time to experiment thoroughly with the D850 and do side-by-side comparo shots with the D800. Later. I did spend an hour shooting headshots of a friend, but I made a lot of...

I did all the Adobe updates so ACR and PS could read the new D850 RAW files. Usually, a photo opened in the ACR window will look the same once opened in Photoshop. Not the case here! The way a photo looks in ACR is much different than it looks once opened in Photoshop. The problem is that...

Original RAW untouched: Embedded JPEG... not perfect but better: Final product after ACR, (which looks terrible and grainy shrunk to 72 dpi and uploaded):

I was shooting a bunch of family portraits in the garage studio this weekend in RAW on the D800. I use ACDSee Pro 8 to preview, import, and rate the pictures. The previews of these portraits looked terrific to me and the family as if no post processing was needed, but when I opened the RAW...

I'm trying to be a good guy and buy local, so I called my authorized Nikon camera store here in town. "Can I preorder a Nikon D850 with you guys?" Store: "Well, we'll put your name on an interest list and call you when we get some in. Nobody has really held one of these yet." Me: "Uh...

Someone at Nikon Rumors claims to have confirmation that the new D810 upgrade will be called the D850. https://nikonrumors.com/2017/07/23/confirmed-the-nikon-d810-replacement-will-be-called-nikon-d850.aspx/ I'm hoping the announcement is Tuesday, Nikon's 100th anniversary.

One month from tomorrow, a total eclipse of the sun will pass over a chunk of the USA. I plan to drive a few hours to see it. Anyone planning some special way to shoot it?

It must be the noise, because I put a suction-cup bird feeder on the outside of a window, then set up my old D40x with flash at an angle (to avoid flash reflection). I got some good pics, and was surprised that the birds stayed on the feeder and let me keep taking shots. These were 9 years...

Saw this tip somewhere and it works great for easy and precise sharpening: Make a copy of the background layer (CTRL-J). On the new layer, use the High Pass filter. FILTER -> OTHER -> High Pass. You will see a gray screen and an option menu to set the radius for the filter. Set the radius to...

I'm late to the party, having just discovered the Adjustment Brush in Adobe Camera Raw. Before this, I've done the basic slider adjustments in ACR, then done area specific changes in Photoshop with adjustment layers and masks. Does anyone here use the Adjustment Brush in ACR? I've tried to...

Car show today in San Clemente, CA. Not a classic "HDR", but I love these hyper colors.

Sorry, I forgot that the edits I made would be saved in ACR if I simply reopened the RAW file. This is before the noise reduction in PS.

Best I could get. I had to trick Photoshop to work on your NEF file. PS kept saying "wrong file type", but I was able to see the pic in Bridge, then open in Camera Raw, then to PS.

The D800 has an SD card slot and a CF card slot. I only own one CF card and use it as back up. Now it is getting full, and I have no way to delete the files on it because there is no CF card reader than I can hook to my computer. (I don't have the right cable to hook the D800 directly to the...

I took this with my Note 5, not a Nikon. These locomotives were involved in a derailment the day before near Deming, New Mexico. I was passing through. Notice the damage to the back engine. Further down the line there were crews trying to clear the wrecked freight cars, but I was driving and...

I'm posting this picture to compare how it looks across platforms. Your pictures look good on my Samsung tablet, but on my PC monitor they appear to have a greenish color cast. I tried to remove it in the pic below, so I'm posting both for comparison. I agree with all the other comments on...
