I worked as a TV engineer at The University of Alabama back in the 70's Today I got notice that Simone had former a Facebook group dedicate to the past employees. I joined and found it was full of photos of a lot of us. Thought I would share a few of me from the decade of the 70's...

OK, This is a straight NEF with no corrections. Converted to JPEG with the following settings And here is the results

I think @BackdoorHippie hit the nail on the head about the "like" button. That is the way I look at clicking on it. I have a local friend that I respect as a photographer and he has been a great friend and mentor to me. Early on we were sitting around at his house talking photography and I had...

I have someone asking me about a camera to shoot in a club. She wants it to be good in low light and will need a fast shutter speed and she want it for under $500. After I stopped laughing I told her I would check around to see what is available. I am thinking whatever it is first off no zoom...

I was hanging out with my mentor while he was shooting and told him what I was doing and he about had a heart attack. He shoots a high end Canon. I sent him a copy of the 12,800 photo this evening and shut him up pretty fast. He never shoots over 800. He is hoping the canon that is coming out...

Shot some with it this evening. Really great results outside. Here is one shot in the back yard of a house I was working at this evening. No distortion correction other than the default that Lightroom does in its lens profiles. I jsut made sure the camera was level in both directions using the...

Finally got some time to go play with my camera today. Was just hanging out with a friend while he was shooting a home for a reality company. I had my camera and after he finished the inside we went out and shot a few and then waited for the blue hour to shoot a few more. I decided I would put...

Here is what DxO Viewpoint can do. Remember this shot? Here is is after correcting it with Viewpoint. Took about a minute to do the correction

One more thing to add. Here is one of the shots and then a 100% crop from it.

Went out this afternoon for a short walk around downtown just to push this new lens a little. There is only the correction automatically put in by Lightroom and a couple that I leveled the horizon a little. I wanted to see and show just what the lens could do with careful shooting. Overall I am...

Not much on themed photo threads. I just don't have that kind of patience so I have decided to just post what I think is the best of last weeks shooting. Week 1 Here is one I shot last week on a cold and rainy day. We were just shooting waterfalls and happened to be there when this guy went over...

I had always used the 14bit uncompressed mode on my DX cameras but in looking into the pros and cons there seem to be quite a few people that say that if does not matter that much so use the 12bit compressed. One benefit is that sine the files are smaller you can get more shots before the...

These were shot with my D7100 at our local high school football game. The D7200 will do equally well. The nice thing about the D7200 over the D610 is that the reach is better on the D7200. Also lenses for the D610 are much more expensive.

This has to be a two part photo so you can see what is happening. My wife's cousin wanted a photo of the three of us (Her, my wife and me) and was going to do it with her phone. No, that was not going to happen. I had my D750, travel tripod and my iPhone. Took a couple of minutes to set up and...

I was shooting waterfalls a couple of days ago and this rock outcropping was out on the edge of the waterfall in the middle of the stream. I did three versions. I am not sure which one I like though. They all have points I like and points I don't. Here are the three. Which one do you like if...

My first mistake with my D750. Was out shooting waterfalls when we saw that kayakers were going to go over the falls. Got a good location. Set up my exposure. Got all set with the continues shutter at high speed. The only thing I forgot was the the buffer was not large enough to run for the...
