Well, I just bought the Nik Collection and have just played with it a little and so far I am impressed. Had some cave shots that I had shot at 12,800 with my D5100 and I could see a big difference in noise after Nik. I also just finished a fireworks shot from July 4th and played with the...

The D5200 is a new camera on the market and we don't have to many of them here yet so let's see some of your best D5200 photos.

Focus stacking is where you shoot multiple shots of teh same subject but focus on a different section each time and them combine them using only the section that is in focus to make the final print. The after shot is a combined 5 shots.

It is a fine line of in focus and out of focus. Personally I would have liked to see the second flower not in the shot and the leaves more out of focus. I think it would have enhanced the single bloom more. But the shot as it is works pretty good. Like I said before the shadow really makes the shot.

What would have helped is to tone down some the the background distractions a little and sharpen the grass blades. Here is a quick and dirty edit of the difference.

Here you go

Got a new cell phone this weekend. Hope you like it. Shot with the D5100 using the SB-700 flash with the diffuser and bounced off the ceiling,

We went on two shoots in two days this weekend. When we got home I sat down at the computer to transfer my pictures and do a little post processing. The entire time she kept asking me if I was through yet. Finally I got up and she proceeded to to sit down for three hours working on her photos. I...

I have traveled in Georgia for years and have worked in the area of the park and have never heard of it. I even have a friend who lives half an hour away from the park and had never been there. How do we miss these gems? here is a excerpt from From http://www.gastateparks.org/ProvidenceCanyon...

The wife and I decided on Friday morning to leave town and go somewhere. We really did not care where as long as there was something to shoot when we got there. WE drew a 150 mile circle around home on the map and starting looking. We found a State part in Georgia that looked very interesting...

Here is my wife getting ready for school to start

I bought my wife a Nikon Coolpix L120 so she would start shooting more and get better results than she was getting with her Kodak P&S. Check Teach her to do her own post processing using ViewNX2 so she would get her photos looking better. Check Phase three accomplished today by teaching her the...

Here is your pupil back

I did not have the RAW file but I ran it through ACR and sharpened it up a little

I just bought a new desktop computer today to use for my photography instead of a laptop. It can with 8GB of memory but has a maximum of 32GB. Windows 8, 64bit (do they even still have 32bit systems) It has 4 slots for memory and two are in use with 4gb each. I was thinking of adding two 8gb...

I edit my wife's photos from her L120 all the time and I always open them in ACR to do the editing. The best reason is the Shadow control you have. So much better than even PhotoShop. My sister recently shot something with her phone and the picture subject was a once in a lifetime and the...

Camera – The best camera is the one you have with you. AUTO, Program, Aperture Priority, Shutter Priority or Manual - Never shoot in Full Auto. It give you no control at all and you might as well just use your cell phone. Program is a good place to start with when you first get your camera and...

Re: Don's Daily Dabblings OK, The last one of the day. I am seeing this more and more lately and although it may take great pictures it just looks so very odd. Taking pictures with an iPad I could not get my camera up fast enough to get him actually shooting.

Re: Don's Daily Dabblings I am at the Zoo. Playing with the 18-105 to see how it works in this setting. Think I am going to like it. Pictures later today. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 2
