took the next step and bought a dji phantom quad copter, is anyone else playing with the photography aspect of these things? Crashed mine in a river yesterday but going to fix it and get back on the horse "copter" so to speak.

Years ago I had some all metal connectors to attach the strap to the camera. They had a hook type end that would fit into the strap lugs on the camera body and a threaded barrel that would tighten down on the hook, sorry but it is hard to describe. Has anyone seen anything like that lately? If...

This is sort of a lessons learned post. I shot a dance performance last night (sort of), Glad I have a second chance tonight. Had everything set up, 1080 30fps, shutter at 1/60, auto iso (still get some blown areas but not to bad), battery going out at 40 minutes into the 90 minute performance...

Not ready to make the shift to CC just yet. I hace Photoshop CS6 and had Lightroom 5. Did the upgrade to LR6 (last stand alone) yesterday. I still lean towards stand alone and was a little disappointed to find the stand alone does not include the Haze removal tool. Here is a plugin for this that...

Is anyone using this slider? I purchased it to do the Ken Burns effect on a web sites and notice a degradation in picture quality. I am wondering if I should use images that are slightly larger than my desired output size if it is increasing the image size to create the effect and that is where...

Enjoying Alaska, phone pic this morning between Seward and Anchorage, going to Denali tomorrow.

Got a new pc to hopefully speed up processing. i7 4790 3.6Ghz, 32GB Ram and 2 GB Video ram, 2TB Hard drive, windows 8.1. I will be replacing the power supply with a 750 w and adding a second 4 TB hard drive. I am doing a lot of real estate photography and doing a lot of photomatix fusion, wow...

Two weeks to my Alaska Cruise departure. I am also doing the land tour which includes Denali. Carry bag restrictions are 17 X 14 X 4. This rules out my Pelican case (way to large anyway}, Lowepro back pack (too large) and smaller Lowepro Stealth reporter (too small) and I want to take my D810...

Is anyone doing drone videography for commercial purposes ie real estate photography? I am reading the FAA is restricting the use of drones and video, what is this country coming to? Curious if anyone has any experience in this subject?

Is anyone using wordpress and woothemes specifically the Sentient Theme, I sure could use some help. Thanks

I have been asked to video a dance performance that will last 3 plus hours. What would you knowledgeable folks recommend for camera settings and to later burn to a dvd. I had problems getting a 1 hour video to burn to a dvd, had to save it to flash and then burn it. Any suggestions appreciated...

Just got my wireless working. I can control just about every camera setting, has live view and the range is very good. I took it to the other end of the house (50 ft +/-) and it worked just fine. Even took it outside and even through a window I was able to fire off a shot. My setup uses a...

I have been looking at the Nicefoto 680w wireless strobe. Anyone using one? I am looking to use it for real estate photography to use it to augment my normal HDR with a blended additional shadow eliminator.

Does anyone us the different DX modes? I keep thinking full FX 36 mp and crop later will yield higher/as much quality. Just curious...

Those that have this lens, I am curious if the "Sweet Spot" is f8 @ +/- 1/1000 for this lens is true, for hand held shots ( I am a shaky old dude) why not just set it for that in manual and do auto ISO for what you are comfortable with your camera body an handle. I have an upcoming trip to San...

I am considering this case for my Tamron 150-600, is anyone using this or did you find a good/different alternative. The Tamrac seem to be less expensive but I didn't see one this large.

Does anyone know if there is an app for using a Kindle Fire HD as a DSLR Field monitor? Seems like they exist for Canon but need one for Nikon D800
