    Feedback on 2 macro images

    The other day a neighbor and her husband gave me some roses for my birthday. Since I recently got an Oben rail, I decided to try it for these. The rail worked flawlessly; however, I should have used some type of remote to fire the shutter. Live and learn as they definitely should have been a...

    Where to sell cameras with bellows?

    Yesterday I had a handyman do some work, and when he was getting ready to leave, he saw my camera birdhouse. He said he has some of these old bellows cameras that belonged to his dad and wondered where the best place to sell them would be. Are there any web sites that are particularly good...

    Epson P400 vs Canon Pro-10

    B&H has a sale on a couple of printers. The Canon Pro-10 would cost $249.99 after the rebate and instant savings. The Epson P400 would be $485.82 after the instant savings. Can anyone shed light on which might be the overall better printer based on its abilities? Currently I have a Canon...

    'Mention' notifications haywire?

    In the past couple of days, I've received 'mention' notifications. When I click to access the info, nothing is there yet when reading through the new posts, I find the mentions. @jdeg can you please look into this? And when I did check on the mentions, the following showed up. What the heck...

    Reflector Boom Arm & possibly a light stand

    I went to my local camera store looking for a boom arm to hold a reflector I already own. I walked out with this kit which has more options for reflectors than what I own; however, the handle that tightens and secures the boom isn't the strongest so I want to return this kit. Westcott 5-in-1...

    Will Nikon continue D610 series?

    With the D610 being offered new for such a low price, has Nikon made any decision whether or not there will be a successor to it? Or will the D750 become the entry level FX body? Has anyone heard? I still use mine even though I have the D750.

    If you use any types of rechargeable C or D batteries, do you use C or D batteries, or do you use the AA eneloop batteries with the C or D spacers?

    PCC -- writing multiple lines on a curved path

    I am trying to create a photo that will be burned onto the top of a music CD and would like to write the song titles on multiple lines with curved text (to follow the curve of the CD). The problem is I can't figure out how to evenly space multiple lines that are curved. Having the lines be...

    Great price: D750 with 24-120mm lens

    Nikon is running a sale on the D750 with the 24-120mm f/4 lens combo--$2296.95. Only $300 more than just the body. If it had been that price when I bought my D750 body, I might have chosen to get the combo instead. Nikon D750 DSLR Camera with 24-120mm Lens 1549 B&H Photo Video

    What causes pixelation?

    Yesterday I took this photo, but no matter how I edit it and upload it to Facebook, the sky gets pixelated. I even uploaded the full size yet still saw the problem. Normally I size the resolution for 240 and set it for 1600 pixels on the long side--which is how I normally resize my images. I'm...

    What might have caused this?

    This afternoon I took several images at a local park with my D750. Slot 1 is NEF and slot 2 is jpeg fine. When it came time to convert the NEF to DNG, this one file cited an error and couldn't be converted. The slot 2 jpeg image doesn't have the banding at the bottom like this NEF image. The NEF...

    Monopod head modification

    After purchasing a Manfrotto monopod, I searched through the various types of heads available. Since I already have 2 Manfrotto tripod heads (one takes a hexagonal plate while the other is a rectangular QR plate), I looked at monopod heads made by them so I can use the same plates. Manfrotto...

    Focus Rails--what to look for

    Since Pretzel wrote about his newly acquired Sigma macro lens, I've been thinking more about macro photography myself. One thing I lack is a focus rail. What are features to consider? And does it matter what type of tripod head is being used? I own 2 different tripods that take completely...

    Walmart frames

    In one of Rick M 's threads, I mentioned how Walmart has some nice frames for decent prices. Walmart's frames may not be conducive for those looking to sell framed photos, but if anyone is looking to give a framed photo as a gift, some of these are a very nice quality. All photos are sooc from...
