Have a question for you all. Shooting wildlife can be frustrating because introducing a human into a situation can change wildlife behavior and sometimes even drive it away. In these situations putting a camera in place and then triggering it remotely can significantly increase your chance of...

Folks, Do me a favor and go into your Creative Cloud desktop app and tell me what you see listed in the "Included in your Subscription" section. Specifically I'm wondering if Premier Rush is listed there with an INSTALL button or if it's in the "Trials" section below it. For me it was in the...

I've been doing a musical project with a friend from the UK. He sent a video of him playing a song and asked me to shoot video of me as I add several instruments to it. He's assembling them in Adobe Premier Pro and I contemplated biting the bullet and giving it a try. When I went to price it...

If the last 3 days are any indication we've got a Red Fox living somewhere nearby (possibly in the field behind our house), and our bird and squirrel infested backyard seems to be on its daily food patrol route. I've occasionally seen it dart across the yard behind an anxious squirrel but for...

I've said it here before but I wanted to once again mention how good Topaz Denoise AI is. Yesterday, as I was sitting down to some Corned Beef and Cabbage, I looked out the kitchen window and saw a Red Fox coming over the rock wall in the backyard. I jumped up, grabbed the D500 with 500mm pf...

First off, yes, I changed my forum name since Backdoor Arts is how I (almost) do business and the old name doesn't really mean much 7 years down the road. RIP the Backdoorhippie. OK, so what is this? It's a combination of a commitment to myself to actually finish processing photos that have sat...

So Nikon announced the D780 today. I've been shooting with the D750 since it came out and from what I'm seeing there's not a lot here that makes me say, "Wow, I need to upgrade to that!!", that wouldn't have already seen me spend the same kind of money on a Z6/7. Even in their promo materials...

@mikew or anyone else out there with this camera, a friend of mine just picked up a Z50 and let's just say that she's tech challenged. She's looking for good tutorials on the Z50's focus modes as well as videos/articles on how best to set up the camera. I could walk her through some of it over...

When astronomical or atmospheric events occur around here it's a better than even money bet that my corner of NJ will be clouded over. Somehow yesterday it was not, so I found myself climbing down and back up the flight of steps from my home office to the front yard every 10 minutes. These old...

Hey all. I'm getting an error in Lightroom saying that I cannot move some images to the Trash (on a Mac). The images in question were all "locked" on my D500 after shooting (press the key button during review), something I almost never do but I was doing a lot of large burst shooting at a...

I shoot a whole lot of wildlife, and then there's an utter hodge-podge in my portfolio. At this point my "business" is a hobby and my website gallery is set up to allow folks to look through everything and choose photos they'd like prints of. The plan is to focus it more, which may mean putting...

I've been using Lightroom since early 2013. I am a little OCD in my organizing so I don't have a single Lightroom catalog with everything, I have yearly catalogs to organize my shoots by year (though I am currently rethinking this), and separate catalogs for the Infrared and Drone work I do. In...

My D7000 was my first Nikon purchased in early 2011. In 2014 or so I had it converted to an IR camera since I had upgraded to other bodies. The on/off switch has always been tight, but after not shooting with it for about 2 years when I picked it up yesterday the switch was impossibly tight. By...

I just saw this article linked on the Nikon Rumors FB page... https://photorumors.com/2019/05/13/adobe-sent-emails-to-customers-warning-them-about-potential-legal-actions-for-using-older-versions-of-creative-cloud-apps/ I have no idea how valid the rumor is, but I do know that I have at least...

I'm participating in a musical event on Sunday that I want to record. I'll be using my D610 with the newer generation EN-EL15 batteries, one in the camera and one in the grip. The camera will be on a tripod with a remote that will allow me to stop and restart recording so I don't run into the...

Nikon Customer Service Story (Updated) NOTE: I've left the original post as is and added an update that changes everything as a separate post down the thread. I'd share this here for anyone wondering about Nikon Customer Service. A good friend of mine just moved from the Northeast to Florida...

I was wondering how many people here enter the odd photography contest, particularly if you otherwise market your photography for licensing, purchase, etc.? The reason I ask is that I have recently gotten into drone photography and am studying for me FAA credentials, and after posting some work...

If you're like I was 4 months ago then when you reformat your memory card to clean it up you go into the menus and scroll around to Format Memory Card and have at it, and more times than not you're not in the right menu bank. No, it's not a lot of trouble, but in case you didn't know there's a...

Saw this from Sony Rumors today... Competition rumors: Nikon D850 might be the first hybrid EVF/OVF DSLR - sonyalpharumors sonyalpharumors For those who don't know what that means, if you're using LiveView and can't seem to see what you need you only need to put your eye to the viewfinder and...

I was going to post this in another thread and realized there's no way I can say it without it sounding like it was directed at the OP of that thread, which it is not nor will it ever be the case. So if you do the minimal digging it will take to figure out what inspired this know that you're...
