Kodak to Sell Its Camera Film and Imaging Businesses in $2.8 Billion Deal

When we were selling my Mother in laws house after she died I pulled up a number of beautiful Iris. I had them in a temporary place just to grow and survive but not where they were going to be eventually. Last week I found some more great Iris in my mom's back yard so I stole some of those from...

One of my favorite places to visit and shoot is the ZOO in Montgomery,AL I don't go very often because it cost $12 every time you go so you feel you have to stay a while to justify the expense. Well someone reminded me that they have yearly membership available. The cost is $70 and that is...

Well tomorrow is the annual A-Day football game at the University of Alabama. For those that don't know what that is that is a spring scrimmage game inter squad game. It is also a big deal here in Tuscaloosa, Alabama. The game is free for all and they average a little over 100,000 people in...

Well I finally set up my Zenfolio site with custom name last night. It was a little interesting to jump through all the hoops to get the name to resolve to the Zenfolio site. They don't make it real easy to find the instructions but once you do find them it is a pretty east task. I registered...

I have been looking at Zenfolio for posting my photos and for posting some projects that will be for sale. I do have a couple of questions for those who use this site. 1. Does anyone have any experience with any of the partners for printing / delivering prints. Integrated Partners | Zenfolio...

The day started off grey and cool but I did have time to go shoot anyway. Had to take the truck in to get something repaired that the Chevrolet dealer caused when they did a $500 repair on it last week. They were rather red faced after I had been telling them all week that it was their fault and...

The best way to describe Photoshop actions is to define them as recordings of steps you do in Photoshop. Lets say the you normally add a watermark to all your photos and then resize them down to upload them to this forum. You can automate that so that you just have to click on the action button...

I live in Alabama. For my vacation I think I will start driving North visiting all the Nikonites along the East coast all the way up to Canada. I will spend the day with each one so they can show me all the great sites in their area. Then I will dog sled across Canada and shoot with all the...

Someone reminded me today about mirror lenses and it reminded me that I had a 500mm mirror lens somewhere in my old camera bag. Went back and found it and decided all it would take in a T-mount adapter to hook it up to my D5100. Adorama (HelenOster here on Nikonites) had them for $9 with free...

Well one more step done in my project to test all the functions in the D5100. Today it was Active D-Lighting. It actually works better than I thought it did. There is a visible difference in all the levels. I think I will leave it in Auto for a while and see how it does. I also shot night shots...

Here is a test I shot to show what the Active D-lighting setting does to a scene. Start with it off and go up from there There was no other post processing done to the shots

7:30 PM and it is already dark.

Nikon faces backlash over hunting rifle optics | Amateur Photographer I really don't see the problem. Most of the hunters I know do more to promote conservation and to protect wildlife than anyone else. It is in their interest to make sure that the wildlife populations stay at a sustainable...

Transitioning from Point-and-Shoot to DSLR: Understanding Full Frame vs Crop Frame Sensors | Picture More

Well after many tries at automating watermarking/copyrighting my photos I think I finally found a good and easy way. One button does it. All I have to do now it to hit "F12" and my copyright mark / logo magically appears. Not so much magic but a few hours of research and then designing my...
