A while back I asked some questions about tripod plates and was always under the impression there were only 2 styles. Many companies make Arca Swiss compatible plates, but what I didn't know is there are companies that make quick release plates (and heads) that look exactly like the Manfrotto...

Due to chronic tendonitis in my right hand, I am having immense difficulty using my current mouse. It's smaller than normal which of course doesn't help. I'm looking for one that is as wide as possible but don't need any bells and whistles. All I use are the center scroll wheel and the...

Is there any type of alternative to BBF that will allow both the tracking option and shutter actuation when only using the shutter button--and not using the button on the back? I am having a terrible time with trigger finger and trigger thumb in my right hand. Having to keep my thumb on the...

I am working a project for church and am looking for information. My pastor is retiring, and I've asked church members to submit digital images and/or prints to be used in a book covering the church's history during my pastor's time here. The problem is many people don't know how to submit a...

When you use teleconverters with lenses, has anyone ever tried the AF Tuning to see if the tuning is affected by a teleconverter? Is it a separate setting than when using the same lens without a teleconverter? Obviously it isn't something I've tried myself. Just curious if anyone has compared AF...

I decided to switch credit cards for my Adobe Creative Cloud subscription and was immediately charged $1 to the new card. Just wondering if anyone has experienced this? It might be a temporary charge to verify an active card, or it might be some type of convenience fee. I couldn't find any info...

I am interested in shooting some short video segments (D750) during Worship but have no idea what it entails. I know an external microphone would be good, but is there one that isn't overly expensive--no more than $50 if possible. Most likely this isn't something I will do very often. And any...

I'm curious if anyone has compared the new monochrome camera profiles that are available in Camera Raw and possibly compared them to the Nik Collection's Silver Efex Pro? Since I haven't played around with B&W conversions, I have no clue how these might compare. There is definitely noticeable...

I have a couple of questions after updating to Photoshop 2018. First...my color space changed after updating Camera RAW. The default was 8-bits, but I changed that to 16-bits. My question is which color space is better? Adobe RGB or sRGB? :confused: I honestly can't remember how mine was set...

When it comes to monopod heads, there are only a couple of choices for the quick release plates. Either they are Manfrotto or Arca Swiss. I happen to prefer my Manfrotto tripod head, but their monopod head isn't rated for too much weight. When I bought my Manfrotto 234RC Tilt Head, it was...

I've been looking for an easy DoF calculator app and finally found one I really like. Previously I've been using TrueDoF-Pro but much prefer the intuitive and easy layout of Simple DoF. Here is a screen shot from my phone showing how it works. This was set up for a 300mm lens on my D750, f/10...

I set up all my bodies for U1 being BBF, Aperture Priority, AF-C, single point focus, and focus priority (instead of release priority). Today I worked on panning by following the birds. My focus point didn't move. As the birds flew, at times I couldn't keep the focus point on them. Is the focus...

While watching a Steve Perry video on the Nikon 300mm f/4 PF, he mentioned there was a service advisory issued for the early copies of the lens. Supposedly when mounted on the D8xx bodies, there is a problem when the VR is engaged at slower shutter speeds causing the images to be a little...

A short time ago, I received an email from B&H about the rewards I've earned from buying through them. It's been a very long time since I received any rewards from them, and I've bought a lot! I was stoked to see this! Wow! $528. My mind began racing through all the things I'd like to have...

There are many threads discussing how to set up BBF, but I am having trouble understanding how to set it up for U1. Let's say I want BBF set for U1 and possibly have the camera in Aperture Priority. How do I specify Aperture Priority since U1 is a mode just like Aperture Priority? And if I do...

I haven't been out to shoot in the past 6 weeks with the exception of a few snow church photos (will probably do another wall calendar as a fundraiser). Anyway, after having a water pipe break in December as well as dealing with the passing of my beloved Yorkie Dachshund, I hadn't felt like...

Happy Birthday, Marilynne! :encouragement: You are so good with wishing happy birthdays to others. Here's to wishing your day is filled with love and laughter--and photos! ;)

Last year I created a wall calendar as a church fundraiser but wasn't happy with the colors. It was printed by a printing company. This year when I went to look at the proof calendar, once again the colors were off a little. Then the guy said he wondered what color profile I used, and after...

I've been asked to take photos of kids playing baseball/T-ball (Little League) next spring and am looking for suggestions on where to stand and ideas on what parents like to see. Whether I will be able to move around or not is something I don't know although I was told I can stand in or near the...
