So I took the day off today to do some personal stuff and to test out my new lights. I inspected the package when it arrived from B&H on Tuesday, but I didn't unpack all the boxes and set them up. That was my plan this morning, and as I did it I discovered that the two 250W Tungsten Bulbs...

I installed the Beta release of LR 5 when it came out and purchased the full version from Adobe in June. I just got a pop-up stating that I am running the "Release Candidate Version" of the software and that has expired, and it wants me to download the full version. I've done that, and it still...

I am going to be using my D800 in a tethered setup with my Macbook to do some studio shots for a friend. Last week I went to the Nikon site and saw that they are selling this overpriced cable for $40...

There are enough of these photos that I figured they deserve they're own thread. Here's your first installment - the people watchin'.... "Honey, have you seen my chain maille tank top? I'm going out with the boys." Love Is Never Having To Care About Who Wears The Pants In The Family...

I've never done them before, but this price is enough to make me think about possibly trying them. I've never heard of these folks before, but they popped up as a promoted item on my Facebook page and, for once, I actually clicked through. $15 is for a 20 page 5x7 memory book seems pretty darn...

As seen at the Bethlehem Celtic Classic yesterday afternoon. There's no denying ancestry and skin tone. I wish they'd stop pinching my cheeks!! Daddy, why are all those other men dressed funny?! I believe someone over there is after me Lucky Charms!! I don't mind that he puts a...

My apologies if this located elsewhere, but what are the maximum dimensions for uploaded photos? In other words, what's the largest width photo I can upload without forum software automatically resizing the image for me? The reason I ask is that I normally export my images with a maximum...

Great photos and an important message. From the interview accompanying the story... What has been the greatest challenge or disappointment you have faced with this project? That people still care more about the price at the pump and what’s on TV instead of waking up and realizing that...

I'm not big on pointing folks towards surveys, and I have a feeling this will be somewhat skewed by folks who have had the issue vs. not, but I'm curious to see just how widespread this issue is, or isn't. So, if you own or have owned a D600, take the 37 seconds it takes to fill out this...

This month's contest subject matter is something I love shooting normally, so having an excuse to shoot it specifically was extra fun. So even while it's been a crazy month for finding personal time to get out and shoot I managed to snag a plethora of viable entries in a couple morning outings...

Last week's expedition into the fog did wonders for my D600's sensor - like "I wonder how the heck it got so freaking dirty?!" Lots of handheld bracket HDR stuff (none of which was worth anything) along with cool and foggy conditions and many lens changes meant that there was lots of stuff...

I am not ashamed to admit it - I'm an absolute flash photography dunce. I know nothing because I've really not studied it in any way shape or form. If you see a photo of mine taken with flash it was all a matter of pop it up or put it on, cross your fingers, start to pray and try something...

As I was importing images from my morning shoot yesterday I got a message at the end stating that some files could not be converted to DNG (I convert all my RAW files). I was very confused, and concerned, but given that I had shot a video at one point I just figured that was the cause of my...

I hope you bought it from a place with price protection, or you have it on your credit card, because it seems the body is not long for this world and Nikon has removed it from their Minimum Advertised Price list. That means dealers can now sell below any prices we've seen thus far, and it...

Had a great morning shoot in Mountain Lake, NJ, watching as the fog rolled off the lake. At one point I shot a 16-frame panorama with the D600. I'm trying to merge them in Photoshop but am getting an error during the process saying my "disc is almost full". I've got 88GB available on my...

I got an email from my brother yesterday with a subject line of "Coolest Software Ever!!" The body read, "Been using the Pro version all day setting up all my bodies an lenses. It works like a charm! Make sure you read ALL the documentation before using it though, there is a bit of a...

Saw a mock-up photo of a D700 replacement on Ace Photo's Facebook page along with this caption... HYPOTHETICALLY SPEAKING...... (This is NOT from Nikon USA, this is an ACE Photo Exclusive-) Let's imagine that in a few weeks, the world will be introduced to a new Nikon FX Full Frame camera...

Just wanted to come out and officially state that I've crossed over 2000 shutter activations since getting my second shutter replacement on my D600 and I have had zero dust and oil issues with it. I've only had to blow the sensor clean twice, and that after many, many outdoor lens swaps across...

I love the low level of noise at higher ISO's on my D600, but I have to say I love it even more with the use of the Nik Dfine 2.0 noise reduction tool. I was shooting some street performers last night at Bethlehem Musikfest and as I processed them this morning I was once again blown away by the...

Read this yesterday and am looking forward to the details behind this. I'm guessing "free" would be for the original owner and not on used equipment, but if it is on any Sigma lens then these guys are making a huge play against both Canon and Nikon. I have yet to own a Sigma lens that I wasn't...
