Well, I am now the owner of a pair of D600's. I read a FS ad on another camera forum and it would seem that there is more than 1 great place for Nikon lovers on the net, because not only was it the right price, after trading emails with him he offered to send it to me on approval, with no money...

I've been using the D7100 almost exclusively this week at Musikfest and I've experienced some wild deviations in getting focus lock on a second consecutive shot. I've been shooting outdoors and in bright light with a 24-120mm f/4, so the conditions shouldn't be an issue. I have it set to back...

It's that time of year again - Bethlehem Musikfest in Bethlehem, PA. 10 days with a great mix of people watching, music, food, arts and crafts ... all free (except for one large stage with big nat'l acts). Day 1 - Wet an a bit dreary, so not a lot of photos outside after the rains came...

Dang, just read about this in Tim Grey's daily email. I hadn't had time to look at any videos about all the new stuff that was added in CC 2014, but dang, this is a great tool @Pretzel, it makes those Invisible Man shots a piece of cake - or at least a heck of a lot easier. And if you like to...

I've read that Adobe's DNG format essentially embeds the original RAW file inside the DNG file. If that's truly the case I would think there would be a way to extract the original RAW file format back out of the DNG file - but I can't seem to find anything on that. Does anyone know if there's...

FYI, just read this piece comparing the ISO noise between the D810 and D800e and the first thing it mentions is that the ACR 8.6 Release Candidate is just that - a "candidate". In other words, it's a beta release that supposedly handles the D810, but it apparently does a rather poor job of it...

I just got a notification that "1 Award was Issued/Removed". It seems that I "returned the Activity Award" this morning - whilst sleeping. OK. Not that I care, but then I noticed that mikew has returned it several times over the past week, while earning it once or twice. Others have returned...

I shoot a lot of wildlife, and as such I've learned that you can only get so close, and more times than not you're going to need to crop your image to get your subject. For digital image sharing that's usually not a problem since sharing is usually done at 1000-1600px on the long side, and with...

Saw this today. Thinking about it, it's a pretty amazing "give away" from Adobe for anyone who buys a subscription and then leaves. Essentially, you get to keep the organizational and print functions from LR after you cancel. So you don't lose any work done in them, and you can continue to...

(seems there's no place to put general "People" or "Street" photos, so I guess I'll put this here) Easton Farmer's Market celebrated its 262nd birthday today. That's right, it's the longest continuously running outdoor market in the country - at least that's what they'll tell you. I love...

About 3 months ago I looked at my D600 and noticed that the rubber eye piece was missing. The camera spends a lot of time on a strap over my shoulder while walking around, and I figure that at some point it rubbed against my clothes and popped off. A little upset I decided that rather than...

From the folks at Photography Life. I read the title and figure, "I've been using LR for years, there's nothing I haven't used!!" Then I read #4. 5 Tools You Might Not Be Using in Lightroom

Ran across this today... Canvas On Demand Deal - National: Amazon Local Not sure how many of you do canvas prints, but this seems like a more than reasonable deal. I'm considering a couple for my office here at home where formal frames don't work. When you drill through it goes to Canvas...

Well, after only 2 days with the D7100 I am firmly convinced that the correlation between removing the Anti-Aliasing Filter and image sharpness is undeniable. It's like an amp that goes to 11. So, I'm seriously considering whether or not I want to send my D600 off to have the AA/Low Pass...

I'm sort of tired of people responding to inquiries from someone thinking of buying a D800 and then using it with their current glass with analogies about buying a performance car and then using it with cheap tires, broken engines, you name it. So, I've taken 5 shots here with 5 different...

After hitting Like on a thread it seems to override the poster's image display size and reload the thread with the default attachment size. This is in addition to occasionally jumping to the bottom of the thread, or back to the first thread I "Like" when I choose to do multiples in a visit.

I'm noticing something very weird in the latest version of LR. I was shooting some birds remotely yesterday, and I had the camera set in Manual mode, with Auto ISO to allow for the specific shutter speed and aperture. The nest that I was shooting was in the shadows, so I set exposure...

Just heard from my nephew. I have refrained from talking much about what I witnessed at his wedding (I may have shared one or two anecdotes), but let's just say that I wasn't very impressed with the family friend with a photography business they hired to do the shooting. My brother in-law...

Just got an update from Adobe for Creative Cloud. Lightroom version 5.5 and a new version of Photoshop. I think it's nice that they've been updating things, but here's a little rant. What I got this morning is now called Photoshop CC 2014. It seems to have supplanted Photoshop CC, but I...

Occasionally I will throw together a very short video tutorial for someone using the principle if a picture is worth a thousand words then a video is work one hundred thousand. I upload these to YouTube, but because a) I am usually using someone else's photo in the example, and b) I have no...
