@aroy I think you use the same PP software as I do, View NX2 and Capture NX-D. Anyway, would you give a short synopsis of what controls/steps you use to recover the shadows & highlights as you demonstrated in your posts here? I don't think I have ever done anything so dramatic in the changes...

On another forum, a picture was posted of a bull snake with what appears to be lightning bolts coming from his tongue. I suggested that it was from the lighting and shutter speed, but the author of the photo says because he used a "speedlight" that it can't be. What do you think? Capture My...

Entry #1 Harvest of the day

A foggy day and Charlie (the dog, not RocketCowboy :D) wondered if I was going to take him for a walk. He was waiting and watching.

This is across the street (dirt road), so I guess it will qualify for a "Street" photo. It is about as close to Street Photography as I can get out here in the boondocks. HA!

We have the capability to set the EV plus or minus X amount. I have seen some Exif info where some have set the EV to say -1 ro +1, etc. When and why do you choose to set your EV to a plus or minus setting? Is it used to be able to use an aperture settings ie 2.8 to shorten the DOF which...

This is the original of the 3rd picture before cropping . Here are a couple more cropped using common ratios. I had originally cropped it to get rid of the road and weeds in the foreground. I didn't want you to see how unkempt my yard really was. Ha!

OK, I have been following the "Print Size" thread and then started playing around to see what cropping would do for sizes for printing and display. In Capture NX-D, cropping has a few options of size ratios ie 16:9, 4:3, 6:6 etc. and free cropping. Now for the question. Some of my pictures...

Thanks for your comments. I had the idea that the large bales stacked on the left would give a perspective of size. Here is the same picture cropped to get rid of the bales on the left. And one more that was taken at the same time with a slightly different perspective. Better or not? Thanks

Any feedback on this will be appreciated. Good or bad...All is OK. Hoping to improve over time with your help. Thanks.

Living in an area where it is usually "Dry Heat", most times we don't have much problem with mosquitoes. This year it is different. We have had lots of rain and now mosquito swarms like never before (Well Korea did have more and bigger when I was there). Trying to take pictures during the...

Not sure if it is OK and if this is the place to post this, but I saw this today. New US Forest Service Fee to take pictures in Wilderness areas. Article is located here Say What? U.S. Government Wants to Charge You $1,500 for Photographing in Wilderness Areas | Shutterbug If this is not...

Caught Charlie on a run, one of the few times I was ahead of him.

Last night I was checking out some shots I had taken earlier and seeing which ones I wanted to PP. They were shots using the 70-300mm lense and I had a few of weeds with water droplets shining in the sun. I couldn't seem to figure where I wanted to crop them for the best focus on the drops. I...
