    Going from Dx to FX

    SWMBO has said that I can have an FX for Christmas if I want one:confused::confused::confused: I'm leaning towards the D750 to add to my D7100 but I'm open to suggestions and guidance. I suspect it will almost continuously wear the Tamzooka. Most of my photography is wildlife and scenery so...

    CC rant and some help please.

    I just had a telephone conversation with the people at Adobe, not an easy thing to do since you have to navigate a number of "robots" before getting a real person. I called them because I wished to subscribe to PS CC and pay in Canadian dollars. They won't let me, US dollars or nothing they...

    Learning LR and PS

    My first attempt at this workflow. I opened this in LR, did the Highlights, Shadows, White and Black thresholds, Lens correction and added a little Clarity and Vibrance. Then exported to PS and ran the High Pass filter and the Shake Reduction filter. Then back to LR for fine tuning the White...

    SB600 accessories?

    I just picked up a used SB600 for a very good price, my first and only flash at the moment. What do you guys consider essential accessories and extras to go with this unit? Be gentle with me, my flash photography knowledge is thin and my pockets are shallow!:D

    Hardware upgrade

    I plan on upgrading the RAM and Graphics card on my Windows 8.1 desktop to speed up LR and PS. I know more RAM is better but how much would be sensible for these programs? I would also like some ideas on Graphics cards about which I know very little. So many of the ones I have looked at seem...

    Photoshop CC, Yes or No?

    I have PS Elements 13 and LR 6 and am familiar with both, more so with LR which is my go to software. I am trying to decide whether to bite the bullet and subscribe to PS CC for a year initially but I'm concerned about the degree of difficulty in learning how to use it. I struggled for a long...

    Repair help!

    A member of our club has a Nikon lens with what she describes as a "small split" in the barrel which is slowly getting larger. Apparently, it does not affect the lens i q but she wants to get it fixed. Can any of our Canadian members suggest where she might best achieve this here in Canada?

    Tamzooka AF problems

    I believe I am like many others in that I'm experiencing occasional and erratic AF failure on my big Tamron. Many times a simple power on and off fixes it. Other times it starts to work again by itself after a few seconds. The most recent occurrence lasted several minutes and several power...

    Nik collection

    I'm currently using Lightroom 6 with much satisfaction and pleasure but occasionally I feel the need to do more to a photo. I have read a lot of good things about the Nik collection but I'm not sure I would use all the components?? Those of you that use the collection, what would you say are...

    Particular camera strap?

    I've just seen, in a video, a camera strap the goes from the top of the left shoulder to the right hip and back in a loop with a second strap apparently running from the rear to front under the left shoulder. It appears that the camera slides up the front strap for use and hangs at the right...

    BIF camera settings?

    I am finding it difficult to establish a general camera setup when using the Tamzooka on moving targets such as birds. I use M with BB focus, aperture mostly f6.3 or f8 and shutter speed 1/60 or higher with ISO at 200 or 400. Metering is either Spot or Centre weighted. Ideally I would want...

    Lightroom 6 problems

    My copy of LR 6 was working extremely well until I downloaded and applied the latest update. After the update, in the Library I was unable to upload any files. The upload window would open and show the folders on my drives but, when I selected the appropriate, or any folder it failed to...

    Buffer capacity anomoly

    My camera is set to 12 bit RAW which, according to the manual, should give me a buffer capacity of 5 or 6. My viewfinder display shows "r 03" indicating I believe a capacity of 3. Can someone explain to me why this should be, what are the causes and how can I increase the buffer capacity?
