In October I will be able to switch to a different cell phone carrier. When I switched to Verizon for the plan I now have, they made sure I didn't have anything in writing until after the 10-day cancellation period. When I finally received info on my plan, I was told I'd get more data than what...

B&H has a network extender as their deal of the day today, but since I don't know anything about them, can anyone tell me if this one is decent? I need better reception upstairs which is the furthest location from my router. Or are there other features available in other network extenders that...

This showed up in my Facebook news feed today. The Facebook video is far funnier than the YouTube version because someone edited it and added closed captioning. Just wondering if she will become as famous as Chewbacca Mom. If you aren't on FB, sorry, as the link will take you there...

Yesterday while at a park, I took a number of photos that contain a variety of shades of green. Unfortunately many of the shades are hideous and I'm having trouble adjusting them. I believe the problem may be due to the CP filter I'm using. I tend to watch the blues more than the greens which...

Horoscope Fish my local school is offering a class on Blown Glass Ornaments for adults in the community. Since I've seen your photos of blown glass, is it difficult to do? I'm interested in taking the class. It's 2 hours per night for 2 nights and supposedly allows people to create 10 ornaments...

Sorry if this was previously posted--this happened a while back but is an updated story. A photographer was being sued by Getty for copyright infringement of her own image after she posted it on her web site--and also after she released some of her own images to the public domain. Photographer...

I've never photographed fireworks, but a neighbor said he gets a permit every year and sets them off in his backyard. These properties aren't all that big. For example, some homes have no more than 12 feet between them (side-by-side), and the backyards aren't huge by any means either. Since...

While reading through my Facebook news feed, this image showed up. Initially it was claimed to be taken by the Hubble Telescope but was later found out to be false. In reality, it is an image created using Pixel Sorting. Just wondering if anyone has ever tried pixel sorting. The image has been...

I've had my SB-910 for a few years now although it's seldom been used (bought it new). Not long after I bought it, I left the batteries in it for a few weeks. Unfortunately the Duracell AA batteries leaked causing corrosion on both ends of the terminals. :( After cleaning the terminals, the...

B&H has a few Nikon lenses on sale--not the same sale that was on within the past month. No info on when these prices expire. NikonLensSaleJuly

Yesterday I updated PCC so I could use some of the new features. Unfortunately I believe I've encountered a bug that I can't seem to fix. I've made many collage posters over the past few years so am knowledgeable about how to set them up. In the middle of cropping some photos down to 2x2.5...

Yesterday I took a few photos after church of a family who had a baby baptized. I've never really given much thought to cropping, but what ratios and/or sizes do you use for different types of photos? I will give them a disc of the images--only took 4 photos. These will be the extended family...

For those of you who use a telephoto zoom with a teleconverter, do you notice any play between the teleconverter and the body or the teleconverter and lens? Today I used my Nikon 70-200mm f/2.8 with the used Nikon Teleconverter TC-14E II, and I noticed a little play after I snugged everything...

How many people download fonts other than what is installed on your computer or via Photoshop? This article showed up through Bryan Peterson's Facebook page: Using Custom Fonts for Special Projects - Online Photography School There is a video on the page which tells about a web site called...

For those who own the Nikon 70-200mm f/2.8 VRii lens and a Nikon teleconverter, what are your thoughts? I'm most interested in either the 1.4 or 1.7 teleconverter but don't know much about either one. Which one will work best with this lens? I don't use my D7100 for much of anything, but...

I am working on a fund raising project for church and would like to create a wall calendar. Initially I was going to use Costco, but after reading some of their reviews, the main photos are @ 6x9 inches after factoring in the templates. They don't appear to offer calendars without templates. The...

Have any of you ever used sky overlays, and if so, what ones can you suggest? Or do you only use your own? I always have photos that can benefit from them.

PCC will be adding a new feature at some point in the future. It's called Content-Aware Crop, and you can see how it automatically fills in the edges after straightening.

I went to the SanDisk web site looking for SDHC info. On their home page, it mentions Western Digital Welcomes SanDisk to its Family of Brands and links this article...

I am finishing up the last two drama production photos that I will photograph for my local high school's drama department. Since it takes a lot of time and commitment to do it, I won't be involved with them anymore. They have been an absolutely stellar organization, and it was my involvement...
