    Adobe RGB vs. sRGB

    I'd like some input from members here. A while back I changed my camera to shoot as Adobe RGB instead of sRGB. Some of what I shoot gets printed (Adobe RGB is preferred for that), and I found I had less clipping with Adobe RGB instead of sRGB. And I also changed my post processing in ACR and...

    Monitor Calibration

    I use a Spyder Pro to calibrate my monitor, but I'm supposed to start with the monitor at its default brightness and contrast. The thing is before I ever began calibrating my display, I changed the settings. So I don't know what the default brightness/contrast should be. And I can't find...

    File order problem

    Yesterday I took photos during Worship using both my D7200 and D750. My D7200 was on a tripod in the back of the Sanctuary. I used my D750 for a few different types of shots, and this is the body that left me with something unusual. The first images from my D750 were from the front of the...

    B&H Catalog

    So today I received the B&H catalog. Visions of holidays past ran through my mind. Who else remembers the JC Penney, Montgomery Ward, and Sears holiday catalogs? For those who are a little younger, Toys R Us used to insert a huge flyer into the newspapers. There is something about having a...

    "Clean-up in aisle 3"

    I'm finishing up my car show photos and only have the Corvette's images to edit. I shoot RAW+jpeg fine. These are just the jpeg's resized for the forum. Any editing I do will be on the NEF's. There are 2 different images below that will require Photoshop love. The owner very humbly asked me to...

    Camera Bag replacement dividers

    Locally I bought a used Tamrac Pro 12 camera bag, but not all of the padded velcro dividers really fit. A few appear to be from a smaller bag and don't quite reach from side-to-side. Does anyone know where I might be able to find similar dividers to replace the ones I need? :confused: I've been...

    Sigma Lens Compatibility Issues

    I posted this as a response to someone's question but thought it should have its own thread. When searching for info on Sigma's lens compatibility problem, I came across info that explains why the issue exists. It says Tamron and Tokina pay licensing fees to Nikon while Sigma doesn't. Supposedly...

    No memory card, no shutter actuation

    Recently I heard about the ability to set a body to not actuate the shutter when no memory card is inserted and am curious how many people enable this setting? I don't recall seeing it mentioned here although no doubt I could have missed it. I just set my D750 and D7200--both use f7 under the...

    Godox AD200 question

    The Godox AD200 is a popular flash unit, and when the times comes that I need to add any additional flashes, I am interested in it. However, there seems to be a caveat. Since it lacks a hot shoe, it doesn't appear it can sync with any triggers other than one by Godox. So does that mean I...

    Magmod Flash Modifiers

    I read through what forum posts I could find on the Magmod flash modifiers but couldn't find any reviews here. There are a few members who mentioned getting something from the Magmod system, but does anyone have any feedback from using it? Magmod has the Sphere, a grid, a bounce option, gels...

    Rechargeable AA Batteries

    I want to add some rechargeable AA batteries but am looking at something more powerful than the original Eneloop AA batteries. Panasonic Eneloop makes the Eneloop Pro, and there is another company that is rated well called Powerex Pro. No doubt I'll need a new charger for them, too. Between...

    Lighting for outdoor auto shoot?

    With all the photography I've been doing at church, I was asked to take photos of a car show event this fall. It will be held on the church grounds. Most likely the cars won't be near any trees (no lush backgrounds) with cars being parked next to one another. What I am hoping to learn is what...

    F-Stoppers Choice in Tripod

    Curious if anyone has this Benro tripod that F-Stoppers uses. It's 4.5 pounds without a head and looks to be a monster with the width of its legs. https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1157821-REG/benro_tma38cl_mach3_9x_carbon_fiber.html

    How to burn both videos & pics to one disc?

    My church wants to create a disc that contains both a slide show as well as still images, but the person who usually burns the video discs says Windows removed the feature to burn movies. Is there some type of software that will allow both to be burned to one disc at the same time? :confused:

    Swimming pool poses

    For the past couple of years, I've been making wall calendars as a church fund raiser and include a variety of activities. Next Sunday (22nd) the church is hosting a pool party for the kids. I think it will be held at someone's house so there shouldn't be any issue with taking photos of the...

    Iso 5000

    I decided to try out my D7200 with ISO 5000. No flash was used since I wanted to see how the noise would look. I'm definitely much happier with the sensor in this body compared with the sensor of the D7100. There was very little editing done to this image.

    Online Storage

    I'm looking into some type of online storage for my photos and was all set to go with Back Blaze until I read one thing. My whole point of an online storage is the option of storing files that I want to delete from my computer. I realize Back Blaze is a backup of a computer, but what options...
