This one is from Yesterday as the Tall Ships were arriving in Erie PA. This is the Brig Niagara (replica of the original may have some timbers?). We out on the lake with the D500 and Tamron 70-200 zoom lens. It was hazy and humid. Lou Cioccio

Sunset at Presque Isle State Park Erie PA, 4 August 2016. RAW develop using After Shot Pro 3 from Corel, tweaked in PSCS5 and HAZE reduction filter with ON1 Photo 10. Lens used was a Tamron 70-200mm F/2.8 originally pre focused at infinity then switch to AF to MF, used Bryan Peterson's tips on...

I am hosting one again in downtown Erie, PA. I have found them most interesting and informative as I give them a tour of the old buildings, local history (we used that have public rest rooms in our park but they burried them in the late 60's) we take them to the local churches in the downtown...

Recently my Late 2012 iMac gave me a notice S.M.A.R.T. Status: disc failure. Explanation of S.M.A.R.T.: from Western Digital website* "Critical: A S.M.A.R.T. failure indicates that your drive is at risk for imminent failure. If your drive has failed S.M.A.R.T. and you are still able to...

Usually a small dialog box in the lower right will pop up saying Windows 10 is being updated and that what you are doing may slow down (really depends on the CPU, RAM and disc space you have so YMMV). Although I am using Windows 10 as a Virtual Machine a similar box for those running Window...

You should look at AfterShot Pro3 I was disappointed that it did not have a camera profile for my D500 but worked well with D7000 files. Well they have the camera profile for the D500 see link. For those not familiar they have a 30 day trial you can use. To my observation I started with the...

Here are two from the other evening. The first one I did not use the perspective control to straighten and the other I did but mad the tower squatty. I also cooled the white balance by using the fluorescent white balance to get more blue. So which one? This is at the foot of State Street Erie PA...

I am not a birder usually landscapes and sunsets and sunrises. Here I am at a picnic table sitting on the bench and the seagulls start coming. I have a Tamron 70-200 VC is on......and manual mode lucky I did not have manual focus. I set the D500 to D25 focus points I got more hits than with D72...

In my fantasy during the early 70's I wanted to photograph a wedding that way in infrared and the wife thought I was crazy. So if you remember the early 70's you would know what I mean. Now I am that age. I still shoot with both film and digital. Although my daughter wanted to know if I was...

Has anyone tried to get their D500 Menu manual printed? or the Camera Manual? I brought in the "dinky" D500 manual unlike my D7000 which I had spiral bound(by them) so it lays FLAT. Any way the "National Printing Store" name unless you PM me, refused when they saw the last page. "No reproduction...

Here is one at Presque Isle State Park Erie PA. A girl teaching youngsters at a concert on the beach about "The Philosophy of the Hoop". Taken with a D500 and Tamron 70-200mm F/2.8 lens. Lou Cioccio Image Created: 2016:06:22 12:06:24 Exposure Time: 1/320 sec F-Number: f/5.6 Exposure Program...

One from last evening 18 June 2016 at Presque Isle State park across from Sara's Restaurant for those familiar with the area. Tripod and D500 with Tamron zoom lens.

Here is a snap as the flash is on camera in a bounce position and with the built in reflector card. I had to adjust the reds to a minus 15 for Hue and Saturation but was pleased with the skin tones with Nikon D500 and Tamron zoom lens. Hand held. The Flash is Flash Point Zoom in TTL mode. These...

Here are a couple the wife and I took on the last day of May. A D500 with a Tamron 70-200/2.8 mounted on a tripod. This is at the Soldiers and Sailors Home in Erie, PA. Lou Cioccio

You peaked my interest so on the last day of May the wife and I went to the Soldiers and Sailors Home in Erie,PA. Although not at mid day but a few hours later but a bright sky. I did use center weight but was able to pull in the highlights with light room. If you look at the tops you can see...

Okay this is what I did but this is what you could have done provided you had: 1. SB700 Flash (or any other that was Nikon compatible flash) used as a fill in since its high noon to open the shadows. (I realize this was a snap shot not a portrait setting) 2. A reflector 36 inch or larger to...

Here is a couple from the 24 May 2016 at Presque Isle State Park in Erie, PA. Used a D500 with a Nikon 28mm F/3.5 lens, HDR on both. Lou Cioccio

Here is from our Zoo Parade using the D500 and the infamous 43-86mm zoom.

Not as exotic as some but always on this side of the Lake Erie. I used a Nikon D7K with a 300mm AIS manual lens at high ISO in Aperture Priority shutter at 1/2000 hand held. Lou Cioccio
