I really like using a Black Rapid Strap (the Cross Shot Breathe which is ambidextrous) when the camera/lens combo is heavy and needs to be attached to the tripod foot. But my biggest concern is if the strap comes loose or breaks at the carabiner. Has anyone used this Black Rapid tether strap...

Both B&H and Adorama started their Black Friday sales. If anyone uses Godox strobes such as the AD200/AD400/AD600 Pro strobes, Adorama rebrands those under the name Flashpoint. And since that is their own brand name, they can sell things for less than Godox MAP. But B&H matches some of those...

Most likely there are very few people who still use Windows 7. But for those who do, has anyone else reached the end of support by Adobe? Supposedly I have 3 days remaining to access Photoshop before I lose its use altogether. This laptop cannot support a Windows 10 upgrade which is what Adobe...

Many years ago there was a discussion of a tabletop type of shooting tent or light box for use in product photography. Unfortunately I cannot find the thread and am having trouble finding something decent but not overly expensive. Neewer has a couple - one is 24"x24" while the other is 32"x32"...

When I use BBF on all my bodies, I have the autofocus set to AF-C with release being the option instead of focus. On the D500, there are two additional options. One is release+focus and the other is focus+release. I am having trouble finding any info that explains how they work. Since I am still...

Several weeks ago I added the Capital One Shopping extension to Chrome but didn't use it until today. While checking out at B&H, I hovered over the prompt that stated it found 10 codes. Most didn't work as it toggled through automatically. Most promos were clearly for sales such as Black Friday...

I'm watching a Creative Live class that explains how to make a variety of special effects for compositing in Photoshop. The instructor went on to say he saves custom brushes and other items he makes in Adobe Library. I guess that would allow all the uploaded items to be available in any version...

Recently I posted about purchasing a Desmond Demon Ball Head. While I haven't yet tried it out, I found one of the Amazon reviews on how to adjust it to be informative. This ball head has a knob for panning and another knob that offers two separate adjustments. If anyone has general tips on...

I've been watching some YouTube videos on creating vignettes. There are other more controllable options besides just adding a standard vignette in Lightroom or Camera RAW. This first one is by Anthony Morganti - he uses the radial filter in Camera RAW or Lightroom. But he makes two different...

Once again Adorama has their Evolv XXX lights on sale. These are rebranded Godox AD200/300/400/600 strobes. So B&H counters by putting the Godox strobes on sale. Even the flash units that are comparable in strength to the Nikon SB-910 are on sale. Those 3 are below (just be aware the one unit...
