About 8AM yesterday my wife alerted me to a visitor at the backdoor. Around the corner of the house, next to the edge of our deck is a Bluebird house. The couple laid 5 eggs in there back in late April, and we've been tracking the babies' progress, so we knew it was close to fledging time...

As with the D800, here you have the D600 measurements. DxOMark - The best lenses for your Nikon D600 They even included 50mm lenses this time!!

After posting about this in another thread I realized I hadn't mentioned an acquisition I made a couple months ago - a MeFOTO Road Trip travel tripod. I was looking for something small and lightweight to take out on a (since cancelled) trip to California that would easily strap to my bag or go...

As I've mentioned, my brother is a photographer for the Star Ledger newspaper here in NJ. Ever since Sandy pounded the state last September he's been shooting at the shore at least once a week. Not knowing that the famous coaster was scheduled for demolition today he decided to camp out Sunday...

Thoughtful criticism of Adobe's decision. Adobe Creative Cloud Fail

Given the hubbub about copyright information and "Orphan Images", is there anyway this site can stop stripping the EXIF data on attachments? I only link to original images, so I'm OK. But I swear we used to be able to see the EXIF data on others' photos and now I'm not seeing it on any...

DxOMark - Nikon AF-S Nikkor 24-85mm f3.5-4.5G ED VR and Nikon AF-S Zoom-Nikkor 24-85mm f/3.5-4.5G review I know there was some discussion around these lenses recently.

UPS just dropped off the D600 body. Like last time they replaced the shutter, but this time they also have a MOD LOW PASS FILTER entry on the repair details. Not sure what that is, and I doubt I'll be able to find out, but I'll try for sure tomorrow. "MOD" represents modify to me and not...

Me too. This helped plenty. How to Read MTF Charts

Some amazing photos created from multiple timelapse stacked images (think "What if I made a picture instead of a video with these?") Smeared Skies Made from Hundreds of Stacked Photographs by Matt Molloy | Colossal

You know, the wall between patient and pissed? I'm there. For the record, my D600 has been with Nikon for a total of 30 days (and still counting) across two service visits for this problem. 24 of those days have been spent with the camera repair in "Parts Hold" status. I've been rather...

I've essentially stumbled on a couple revelations regarding post-processing sharpness adjustment recently - a combination of things I've seen in videos, read online and heard in seminars. All have added up to really change the way in which I not only view the importance of post-process...

Saw this on Nikon Rumors. If you haven't bit the bullet yet on Lightroom 4, you may want to wait. Not a lot of new information to go on but what's here sounds cool. Adobe Lightroom 5 public beta coming soon with some new features | Photo Rumors

Pretty darned good tutorial on blend modes. A Detailed Explanation of How Photoshop Blend Modes Work - Photoshop Blend Modes Explained | Photo Blog Stop

Read this and my head started spinning. It's only one bill in one state, but the implications to the photography world are tremendous. Vermont Rep. Figures Out a Way to Waste More Taxpayer Money and Possibly Harm Photographers

I'm about to enter my first summer with my MacBook Pro, and as the humidity ramps up here in NJ I can already feel the tackiness of my fingers against the Mac's touchpad. I was a mouse user when I was using a PC for editing, but I'm very curious about the pen controlers I see in all the...

Great read from Nasim Mansurov on DX vs. FX. It speaks of it in terms of sports and wildlife photography, but there's a lot of good information in there on the real differentiators of the two formats. DX or FX for Sports and Wildlife Photography

OK, I may be a little ahead of myself, but as I was processing photos taken this morning I saw these ... after already cloning out one dust spot. I haven't stuck a blower in there to see if they disappear, but given that I had no spots 10 shots before this I'm about to put my head on my pillow...

Could have mentioned it in the Scott Kelby course blurb, but anyway, he mentioned an iPhone app called NDTimer ($.99) that will take your metered shutter speed (w/ proper aperture) and calculate the exposure time with an ND filter. Not only that, it will also stack filters for you. Tried it...

I saw a demo of this product yesterday, and then noticed that they are offering 50% off for any Nik Customers. Upgrade to Perfect Photo Suite 7 Today! - onOne Software My take, after watching a 1/2 hour demo, is that the Nik tools are far superior in terms of ease of use and "tweakability"...
