I went to the inaugural "Shoot Like A Pro" training session given by Scott Kelby in Philadelphia yesterday. It was well worth my time and money ($89 with discount code). He's a nerd, like us forum folks, but also not afraid to step on photo forum axioms (like "RAW vs. JPEG" ... his answer is...

This could be really interesting, or painfully tedious, but on April 3 the CreativeLive folks are doing a 6 hour live class using the D600. It's free, so what have you got to lose but 6 hours, right? I'll be in a seminar all day, so while I'd normally have this in the background while I work I...

A friend posted this to their Facebook wall, and as I looked through it I realized that it gave me the start of a Photo Destination Bucket List. The 33 Most Beautiful Abandoned Places In The World

Not sure how many of you have seen this before, but there's a webcam in a "dump nest" where several Wood Ducks and at least one Hooded Merganser have laid their eggs. One female incubates the lot (in this case about 30), and they've all hatched in the last 24 hours. They only stay in the nest...

I haven't received my copy yet so I cannot comment on the contents, but I came across it this morning and figured there might be some interest to others here. The Photographer's Guide to Copyright

Some of these gave me chills. Was too young to worry about becoming a part of this, but old enough to remember the country at the time. A soldier's eye: rediscovered pictures from Vietnam - The Big Picture - Boston.com

Got my D600 back from Nikon this evening. Have not shot anything with it, not have I inspected the inside yet - I want to wait until I have time tomorrow and do it in as clean an environment as possible. But I did want to share with you the work done. No explanation was given as to anything...

Saw this blog post by someone at NiK that shows the NiK Complete Collection is now $149 for the full, Photoshop compatible package. That's Color Efex Pro 4, Silver Efex Pro 2, HDR Efex Pro 2, Viveza, ... the whole shebang!! You get a 15-day free trial as always, and there are a ton of folks...

Very interesting that they rate the 70-200mm f4 better than the f2.8!! DxOMark - The Nikon D800 and telephoto lenses

I went out yesterday to try my hand at some long, daylight exposures for the first time. There are rules for just about every type of photography, and for this type the one thing that I always read is, "Frame your photo, set your focus and get an exposure reading with the ND filter off, then...

I just got off the phone with Nikon service checking to see if there was any chance I would be seeing my D600 by the end of the week. The woman I spoke to said that there was a hold on the repair waiting for parts (i.e. the shutter mechanism) and that while "normally these are filled within...

I know the question of RAW processing pops up here a lot, and what program to use when doing it. This was today's Question of the Day from Tim Grey's eNewsletter and I thought it was pretty concise in outlining the differences between RAW processing in Photoshop Elements, Lightroom and...

A well thought out and reasoned critique of the latest woes with Nikon releases. Sad to hear that D800's still seem to be shipping with the left-focus issue. Haven't seen it on mine, but there was a report here yesterday that seems to confirm it may still be popping up. Good to hear that at...

I'm a fan of his Lightroom and PSE books and I see he's doing a one day seminar in Philly in April. I love Philly and just the excuse to go there and grab lunch at Reading Terminal Market is enough. For $89 and the price of gas I expect that I'm bound to pick up more than a few things. But...

I love my SpyderLensCal, but sure wish I'd seen this first. Brilliant. Here's GhettoCal!! The “GhettoCAL” my DIY lens calibration tool for micro adjustment enabled DSLR cameras ‹ The Parallax Effect

This was jsut on Nikon Rumors. Hopefully your browser translates, but there is an interesting side-by-side images comparing the D7100 to the D7000 and I have to say, it's impressive. Just one, but it's a start. �g2013”NŒ^ DXƒtƒH�[ƒ}ƒbƒg‹@�h‚Æ‚µ‚Ä�i‰»‚µ‚½ƒ~ƒhƒ‹ƒNƒ‰ƒX�\�\ƒjƒRƒ“�uD7100�v (1/5) -...

Is anyone else having issues seeing photos linked in threads from Flickr? The seem to either be intermittent or do not show up at all. Here is one thread where I should be able to see a photo but cannot...

Was out and about today and stopped in Clinton, NJ to take some photos of their famous mill in the snow, as had several other photographers. One of them had a D800, which is what I was shooting with, and as I past him I made the comment, "Nice camera". He ignored me and it wasn't until I made...

I'm just digging into CS6 and a lot of the videos I am watching use Bridge as the go-between for the various pieces of the suite. But the more I look into it the more Bridge seems to look and act like Lightroom, and it seems that it's pretty much a choice one needs to make between the two since...
