@mikew P is an automatic setting that does let the camera do it's thing almost like the Auto Mode. The reason I was trying to set the Minimum Shutter speed in P mode was a discussion on Moon shots in the thread in Off Topic. See Don's comments here: #2

OK, this came up in an Off Topic thread I started. In the ISO menu setting where you select ISO Auto On or Off, there is a minimum shutter speed setting also. If it is set to 1/500s for example, should the shutter speed ever drop below that setting in any modes other than Manual or of course...

Well Don Kuykendall, you just make me sick. Ha! I will have to try that with the moon. I have been shooting Manual and on a tripod. Did I say you make me sick. Ha! I did actually get lucky about a week ago and got these three shots of a crow. The sun was right to bring out some detail...

Today was a day that almost makes me think that photography is not for me. I shot about 40 shots and was so disappointed after downloading them on the computer, they all got trash canned. It just wasn't my day, well actually it wasn't my subject either. There are two things/subjects that just...

I know, this is a wide open question, but I am going to ask anyway. Ha! In another thread on diffraction, etc I watched the video and then ventured off into the CP-L video by the same guy and I began to wonder about the 70-300mm VRII 4.5-5.6. Of those of you who own or have used the lens...

There are some places, ie certain tourist attractions (movie sets) that have posted signs that photos taken there cannot be sold or posted online without getting a permit. $ for an hour or something similar. I can understand that, but what about private houses or particulars of the house...

Here is a screen shot of what I am trying to say with steps labeled 1, 2, 3

Congrats to @Felisek for another great photo entry. To all of the others who entered and came close, great job also.

Okay, J-see I tried some of what you are doing. First NX-D processed to TIF. Then loaded TIF into RT. Corrected lens distortion. Exported in jpg. Loaded in Gimp for copyright and exported as .jpg. This worked for what I was trying to do at the moment.. Lens distortion correction. Before...

Entry #2 Lacking anything else and the month is coming to a close, I will break down and enter this shot which I already posted in my 365 area photos. Wandering off into the shadows.

The annual Fiesta De Los Vaqueros rodeo is going on in Tucson AZ this past weekend and through to next weekend. A photography class was offered to teach how to take photos of rodeo events. As I understand it the cost was $85, but camera equipment was furnished or available to try out. All of...

This morning I was out with the dog and the camera. I started to set the CPL for the direction that I would most likely be shooting and noticed some black specks in the view finder. After getting back to the house, I did a little detective work and tried to clean. Lens looked ok, removed it...

Sorry I haven't responded to this thread, but I haven't had much internet access for a week or so. Just catching up now. Personally, I like the original shot because I wanted to focus on the source of the water filling up the road in the foreground. Then I started cropping and couldn't make...

An Old Rusty Vehicle.

This is another part of Agua Caliente Park. I thought it might work for the "Reflection" theme on the 53 in 365 until I found the photos I posted. Ha!

A path winding through the Mesquite Forest at Agua Caliente Park. May use it for the "Light & Shadows" monthly challenge. Nah, probably not. Ha!

This is an old Mesquite Tree at Agua Caliente Park. It is the location of an old ranch and health resort. The tree is estimated to be 200-300 years old. I had figured it might work for the "Bark" theme.

Last Sunday I went out looking for some shots for my 52 in 365 challenge. The next bunch are rejects. Ha! Originally thought this one might work for the Chairs/Benches theme. Just a couple of Old Love Birds, I guess. Ha!

Week #7 Theme Neglected Over the past who knows how long, I have taken numerous pictures of this old barn, but can't seem to get anything that I really like. Yesterday evening, I tried again. Still not real excited about the results, but I think it will work for this weeks theme...

Week #6 Theme Reflections This is posted a little late, but was taken during the proper week. I didn't have good internet access to post these earlier. Hope they are worth waiting for. Ha! As always, any and all comments are welcomed... Positive or Negative ...Please
