Week 17 Theme Roadside This week, as the choice for themes dwindles, I had to decide what to post. I had a couple of landscape shots that I was fairly pleased with, but these two shots kept coming back to me just because of the irony I saw. A John Deere dealership is being constructed, but...

I never thought I would ask this, but well here goes. I have read about dust on the sensor and seen videos (you-tube). After submitting the photo for the weekly challenge, I think I am seeing the results of dust that I had missed before. Is what I am seeing probably dust on the sensor of my...

@lucien, your 18-55 lens has the same switches as mine does. See the photos: VR can be switched on or off at will as long as you are not in the process of taking a picture. The larger barrel ring for the "Zoom" can be turned at any time. The small barrel ring at the front of the lens can...

@lucien I think you are confusing Zoom with Auto Focus. Zoom you can only do manually and in any mode, Autofocus or Manual focus. I think this is what you probably heard. The Focus on some lenses should not be done manually when the Auto-focus is set because that can break something inside...

When I ask the question at the beginning of this thread I had an idea and needed to use an older picture that I had taken to get what I wanted, but........... as it turned out I took a few other photos that may have worked out better for this challenge (And they were all shot this week. Ha!)...

I noticed a recall on the Nikon site when I was looking for other information. Just passing it along as I don't have the battery. Ha http://www.nikonusa.com/en/Service-And-Support/Service-Advisories/h0ndzaip/EN-EL15-Rechargeable-Li-ion-Battery-Pack-Recall.html Here is an excerpt: Nikon Inc...

Tried rotating the image so it was in landscape orientation, but that image was also cropped. I realized now however that it is cropped on the right as well as the bottom of the image. The following two photos are the image as seen in Capture NX-D and the image as converted to .jpg or tiff...

Ok, last night using NX-D as I have been doing for as long as I have been processing RAW files, I processed a photo and converted it to .jpg. Then I opened it in GIMP as I usually do for additional touch-ups and flares. BUT.......... the image was not the full image that I had processed. It...

Week 16 Theme Motion Another week and what a way to get double duty out of a picture. The weekly challenge and the 52 challenge. So this is your lucky day "One for the price of two" Ha! A day late in posting because, again, internet access was not the best. I did get the photo in the...

I like the way you added clouds to give the photo some more punch and to cover the line in the sky caused by the color difference. Nice job @dickelfan

I have made some from 550 parachute cord for my GPS and other things. You might think about doing something like that. Leather or 550 cord. Wrist Strap Neck Strap

Thanks @WayneF. I am aware of that, I was just setting the record straight for others benefit. LOL. See where I posted in my next post the previous discussion, you, I and many others had that went the same direction this one is going. Ha!!

This shot really wasn't planned, it just sort of happened. Out with Charlie (the dog) this morning and I called him back. Just on a whim I started shooting. Five or so shots. Then this afternoon, I had the thought of trying to combine the shots into motion. GIMP is the processing software...

@wev Nice shots of the wasp having a dinner date. It is a good thing you caught him occupied so he could be repeatedly captured. Ha!

Well @donaldjledet, I see you were on I10 again heading for California. Ha! You got a couple photos of Tucson, Picacho Peak, the BOB Center in Phx and ... Ha! My question is, do you have a co-driver or just good with hanging your camera out the window or are these forced traffic stops. Ha!

@traceyjj Vehicle post--invalid attachment I'm guessing it is a good looking boat though. ;)

@Ironwood, nice job on the pens and the photos. Talent in both areas!

Here is a plane shot that I was reminded of after seeing David H's photo in his 365. This one is nowhere as good as David's, but probably the same company.

An attempt to play with RawTherapee and GIMP for PP. Before After Any comments are appreciated and thanks!

Week 15 Theme Close-up Yet another week has come and gone. I played not only with "close-up" but also some PP to add effects using Gimp. Apples, Well almost. Some yellow delicious apple blooms. Added a little vignette to second photo.
