    Nikon 14mm f/2.8 prime vs. others

    Just wondering about any comparisons between a Nikon 14mm f/2.8 AF-D prime compared with Rokinon, Sigma, and Tamron prime counterparts. I've read reviews but am not seeing the Nikon coming out way ahead of the Sigma or Rokinon. I'm not interested in a zoom because of price. Between these 3-4...

    Amazon lists some type of a Rokinon fisheye micro 4/3 lens that will be for sale at 11am Eastern time--not sure if the Nikon mount is included. The sale is supposed to be a Lightning Deal.

    SLIDE--a new strap design

    There must be pros and cons about this new design. The connectors certainly are different from anything I've ever seen.

    Steve Urkel moment

    Well...I did it. I had a Steve Urkel moment. For those who aren't familiar with Steve Urkel, he was a character on a TV show and was always doing some dumb thing. His usual response was, Did I do that??? Tonight was the last of the student drama productions for the school year, and I take...

    SDHC memory card case

    Just wondering what type of memory card case others use. I've been using a Case Logic zippered case (it's made out of material rather than plastic or metal). It allows me to keep the SDHC cards in their plastic jewel cases. If you use a case where the card needs to be removed from the plastic...

    Aperture reflection or glare?

    I was looking at this selfie taken last year and noticed an aperture shaped glare on the glass. Why didn't the reflection show up in the photo itself? The image was reflected off of my trike's mirror. I would think there would be an aperture shaped glare larger in the photo somewhere because of...

    Lowepro bag takes a beating and keeps on protecting

    Lowepro tested one of their bags by using a champagne bottle instead of equipment (and a couple of champagne glasses as well). Although the bottle and glasses held up well, I'm not so sure that electronic equipment would come out unscathed under these circumstances. Still...the outside of the...

    Hark's 2014 Occasional Photos

    Unfortunately I don't have as much time to devote to photography as I'd like, but I decided to put all my photos into my own thread rather than to spread them out in various threads. My primary job is a caregiver so everything I do has to fit in around that responsibility. So...the winter of...

    Adobe Creative Cloud problem

    Sounds like Adobe ran into a glitch. For those who log into their accounts to use Adobe CC products, apparently some of them may have trouble accessing Photoshop CC and LR. Adobe Creative Cloud Outage Prevents Users From Accessing Services | Popular Photography On a side note, after I...

    Changed printer cartridge and....

    I have a Canon printer that I've used regularly, and it does a nice job of printing. Tonight I changed one of its cartridges (black ink cartridge made by Canon and it's the correct cartridge like I always use) then printed out a photo. For the first time ever it left black marks along the bottom...

    Editing info

    I am wondering what might be the fastest way to remove the dirt marks from this photo using either Photoshop CC or LR5 (this is a jpeg but I will be working with a DNG file). When I encountered this type of dirt in the bricks of a different photo, I found that lowering my shadows helped, but...

    Did shutter speed affect this?

    During the drama department's production, they showed a video. This is one of the photos I took of the video. It is one of the students standing in the school's hallway. The other photos I shot of the video showed either a little light green or light pink from the hallway's fluorescent lights...

    Display all thread images

    @jdeg, when going to a subforum page such as the 365 day thread category, I'd like to choose the option to Display All Thread Images rather than read through all the pages. If the photos are linked from another site such as Flickr, then they don't show up that way, is that correct? I wanted to...

    Windows XP and Internet Explorer problem

    Best way to remove this

    This is a SOOC unedited jpeg only resized for the forum. I found this piece of debris on my sensor over a week ago and used a rocket blower to try to remove it. Obviously the rocket blower didn't work. I will try it again, but if it doesn't come off, I am hesitant to do a wet cleaning--only...

    Calibration trouble

    Last year when I first calibrated this LCD monitor with my Spyder 4 Pro, the calibration was perfect. Everything I printed looked as it did on my monitor plus when I used Nations for printing, everything printed just as it did with my own printer. The problem started when I didn't recalibrate...

    Do you hear VR motor?

    I have a few lenses with VR (or OS in the case of Sigma). When you engage the VR and press the shutter release halfway to focus, do you hear the VR motor running constantly? Most of my lenses will make a noise as the VR (or OS) engages and when it releases, but I've never heard it between the...
