Has anyone ever used fonts available through your Creative Cloud subscription? I was just watching a video where it says they are included. Here is more info on them. It's not clear to me whether or not the fonts get downloaded or how they might otherwise be accessed...

Has anyone ever seen unusual wildlife couples paired up together? Today was the third time I've seen a smaller bird flying with a hawk (leaning towards a Red-Tailed Hawk). All I know is the other bird was quite dark and smaller. And it wasn't a chase. Unfortunately I was driving during every...

Curious if anyone else received the 0% financing offer when using the Amazon Chase card. At first I wondered if it was from another party, but it was legitimately sent by Chase. They are offering 0% financing for 6, 12, 18, 24, 30, 36, 42, and 48 months. They sell Nikon gear and a lot of...

The Nikon 24-70mm f/2.8 VR is on sale at B&H for $1596.95 - and possibly it is on sale elsewhere. Not a bad price since it is the VR model. https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1175033-REG/nikon_af_s_nikkor_24_70mm_f_2_8e.html The non-VR model (the older version) is also on sale for...

Photography Talk posted a video about the app My Sunset and how it factors in weather conditions to possibly come up with better times for sunrise and sunset photo ops. Of course it isn't going to be 100% accurate, but looking at the forecast over the next 6 days, Friday morning at 6:18am might...

Just read this on FB - the Nikon School is offering their online classes for free for the month of April. I attended one in person over 20 years ago and felt it was a valuable learning experience. https://www.theverge.com/2020/4/2/21204243/nikon-free-photography-classes-april

"Composition" Despite our current situation in today's world, this was going to be my topic anyway. You can choose your own genre of photography (macro, landscape, wildlife, etc) and shoot any subject you choose. When you post an image, you MUST state a Rule of Composition you used when...

If your town allows people to get out and walk while maintaining social distancing, here is an interesting project. Taking photos of people on their front steps. This particular group does it for charity although we have a local photographer who is charging for sessions...

If you use the B&H Payboo card for purchases, be sure to check your invoices. The other day they offered the Vello screen protector for sale. I was supposed to save on tax and placed my order with that card. What I noticed is the correct item came with my name on the invoice; however, the order...

Sometimes even I don't understand what the forum expects when it comes to questions and old threads. If someone creates a new thread asking questions when there is a similar old thread buried on the forum, the two threads get merged together. So why shouldn't members raise an old thread to life...
