I joined NAPP 3 years back and when it because KelbyOne I hung on to the membership because they honored the $99 NAPP renewal price instead of the $250 they were now charging. My membership comes up for renewal in April, but I just got an email from Kelby saying they have "processed my...

Was stitching some panoramas in Lightroom over the weekend and when I went to check something in the folder the original Raw images were in I noticed something completely unexpected - XMP sidecar files were created for each of the panos segments. I have Lr set up to store edits in the catalog...

Was watching Scott Kelly interviewed on the Late Show on Friday night and kept getting distracted by a couple things velcroed to the walls if the ISS. Looks like the 800mm f5.6 and the 500mm f4. You can handhold those suckers all day long in space, I suppose. Astronauts get all the...

OK, so I have some specific photography goals I want to accomplish this year, as well as some equipment decisions I need to make that I've talked about elsewhere. Anyway, there will be artifacts, many of which I probably wouldn't post elsewhere, but anything I might gain from them should...

What would it take to get you to abandon your Nikons for another camera? Better yet, what would it take to get you to switch even if you were absolutely happy with the equipment you have? That's the question I'm currently asking myself. Why? Because circumstances are such that I may be...

I've been using Adobe tools for almost 5 years now, since I got into DSLR photography. I've been mostly happy with the products I've bought/rented and didn't really bother to question what I was seeing in them until I bought the D750 and was forced to do a work around using a beta version of...

One of the things I've lived with since making Lightroom a critical part of my workflow over 3 years ago was the abysmally long import times. If I shoot 100 IR images on my D800, I can essentially stick the card in, start the process (which adds copyright metadata, a custom camera profile to...

Seems Nikon botched another new release and there's bug in the AF for the new 200-500mm. https://photographylife.com/dont-be-a-guinea-pig I'm done with early adopter syndrome with Nikon.

I've been scarce, and I can't promise that will change significantly, but I thought I'd open something up to share a bit of what I've been doing this year. A lot of Infrared, so I'll start with a bit of that from the last month, and catch up on the rest as I have time. This is all with my...

Putting together a photo book of my in-law's 50th Anniversary celebration and I'm looking for recommendations and places to avoid. I'm a KelbyOne member and get a decent discount at Mpix and BayPhoto/BayBooks, so I'm inclined to go there, but if there's a place you've dealt with that's...

I'm hoping @480sparky will chime in here, but I'm looking for some recommendations on older glass. But wait!!! Please don't answer until you've read why. My D800 was recently converted to 720nm infrared by KolariVision, so it's fair to say I've gone at IR photography full bore. I've been...

Does anyone here know if Nikon embeds EXIF-like data on the video files created by their DSLR's?! I'm having a hell of a time finding out. I did find a site that says that Canon now does it, which means that they didn't at some point. I can't seem to find any when I use normal file...

Got my D800 converted for IR and was hoping that either my Sigma or 24-85mm would serve as walkaround lenses for it, but they both produce some significant hot spots. (FYI, hot spots are caused by internal coatings on lenses designed for digital cameras that filter out IR light - these are...

My 150-500mm tends to live on my D7100, but circumstances this weekend caused me to slip it only my D750 for the first time and, wouldn't you know it, the image stabilization refuses to engage on the body (I get it to engage once out of every 10-20 focus locks). Just to be sure that it wasn't...

I have a Sigma 70-300mm macro that I just mailed to a friend with a D7200 to check out since she doesn't need a macro but would like the functionality. It worked fine when I boxed it up and it arrived just fine, but it's giving an 'F EE' error on her D7200. I know there have been rumors of...

Folks, I just downloaded Adobe CC 2015 since it popped up this morning. READ THIS FIRST BEFORE UPDATING If you use add-on tools like Nik Collection, Topaz, onOne Perfect Photo, DxO FilmPak or anything else, well, you're screwed. The installation of PS CC 2015 will not carry over...

Last year it was a 5 Day deal. This year it's a little longer and consists of different stuff. Essentially it's $99 for over $4000 worth of books, videos, lessons, presets, etc. with 20% of it going to charity. Last year's deal was worth it just for introducing me to Lynda.com (which isn't a...

I wish this was a tutorial, but I'm stumped. Essentially what I'm trying to do is to create either layers or layer masks that would take Ansel Adams' Zone System and apply it to a digital image, splitting it into the 0-10 light ranges. Luminosity masks can get me part of the way there, but...

Saw this on NikonRumors today... Phottix: the Nikon D750 hot shoe has different dimensions than previous camera models | Nikon Rumors ...and it has me very curious about the compatibility of the D750 with other triggers. Not to mention that it also has me curious as to why they changed the...

Saw this article today. Seems the GPU acceleration benefits may have been more than slightly overstated. Funny, but when I think back on the Kelby/Concepcion back-and-forth about it on the release webcast they really didn't say anything specific about it other than what it does for 4K monitors...
