Black Friday I ordered one of Phlearn's courses as they were advertising a sale. I clicked via the email I received to access their site. Quite often web sites will automatically apply their coupon code so it doesn't need to be entered, but they didn't. And of course I forget to enter it. So I...

I have a Nikon FM2n that I'd like to use, but it takes lenses with aperture rings. Currently I do have a few although my main zoom isn't the greatest. It is a Sigma 28-70mm f/2.8 that was made in the late 1990's. Of all the lenses I've ever owned, it is the least sharp. Granted that can be fixed...

With the holidays fast approaching and cyber Monday literally right around the corner, what items are you hoping to get this year? I've been wanting to upgrade my Nikon 300mm f/4 AF-S to the newest VR version but not sure that will happen yet. Was hoping the 300mm f/4 VR lens would be on sale...

I want to try and create a specific tartan plaid pattern in Photoshop, but after searching through tutorials, they are over my head--I've never created anything with lines before so that is new to me. This is the tutorial I found which appears to have a lot of good info, but it's still a...

EDIT October 31st: Only the rebate is available on this now. The sale price is no longer being offered. Current price is back up to $129.99 after rebate (which is still a great price). B&H has the Canon Pixma PRO 100 on sale. A few of us bought it last year when the final price after rebate was...

Today I read a post from one of the Facebook Photoshop groups I'm in. The person asked if Photoshop was going to release a new mystery like it did last year. When I searched online for info, I came up with this from 2014 (and apparently Photoshop has done it in subsequent years). Has anyone ever...

While reading this article on Nikon's 85mm f/1.8G lens, I read the following quote concerning the 50mm f/1.8G: "Another good news is that the rear element of the lens does not move in and out when focusing, so you do not have to worry about changing the lens focus to infinity when changing...

This segment on Pulitzer Prize winning photographers must have aired yesterday here in the USA. Amid the horror of recent shootings here in the United States, this is a poignant discussion with several of these photographers, many who captured horrors in other countries...

I haven't yet updated my iPhone to iOS 11 yet. Has anyone encountered this problem of the update saving photos as .heic files instead of jpegs? They explain how to make the change back to jpegs--which all of us might want to consider doing before shooting...

One of my high school classmates is being awarded an honor for her gymnastics participation back in the day. She asked me to help get her copies of the yearbook photos. No matter whether the images are scanned or photographed with my macro lens, they show the linen look of the paper. Do any of...

What phone apps do you use that help you with photography? They don't need to specifically be photography apps--just ones you use to help you make decisions. One that @BackdoorHippie mentioned a very long time ago is TrueDoF. Eventually they changed what was available in the free version by...

An Australian company created a business that connects pro-photographers with customers on demand ...they like to think of themselves as the Uber of Photography. Recently they also opened an office in California.

In the wake of Hurricane Harvey, gas prices began to rise immediately. This was taken on Tuesday. By yesterday (Thursday) the price was up to $293.9 per gallon for regular unleaded. Post your prices. It will be interesting to see whose goes up the most and in what areas of the country/world.

This popped up in my Facebook news feed today. Back in the late 1990's, I attended one of the Nikon School one-day seminars in Philadelphia. It was very interesting and informative--and they showed LOTS of magnificent slides! ;) Has anyone taken any of these classes, or are they relatively new...

For those who use Photoshop, when do you convert your layer(s) to smart objects? Every time you make adjustments in Photoshop? I know there is a way to link images together and apply changes to all of them at the same time (which I'm not interested in doing right now). But the idea that the...

CBS in New York is sponsoring a B&H photo contest to win a $2,500 gift card for Canon gear. Nikon owners could always sell the gift card or buy the Canon stuff and sell it. ;) Would be nice if they offered a Nikon contest though.... WCBS 880 Then & Now « CBS New York

This afternoon I took a few photos with my D7100 near the river then transferred them to my computer when I got home. Slot 1 is NEF while slot 2 is jpeg. This is what I saw when looking at large icons in their respective folders: NEF folder jpeg folder Nothing appears out of the ordinary so...

Any idea where to get either a K2 (first choice) or a B2 (second choice) focusing screen for an FM2n? I know some screens will require an exposure adjustment to compensate for being brighter which is why I'm only looking for one of these.

The Today Show posted a video with some unique senior portrait photos that are raising the bar. Quote from the video: Times have changed. Families are now willing to pay $2k to $3k and sometimes more for a stand-out collection.... There are some incredible images shown. :encouragement...

This is not a photography question which is why I'm posting here. In general, are crows predatory birds? I know they will raid trash and eat garbage, but do they customarily kill other birds or break bird eggs? This started out with both of my dogs getting sick and/or eating stuff at one spot...
