Our afternoon was far from clear. There was a thin haze of clouds on the horizon. I tried setting up on one of the overlooks in the shennandoah mtns, but things were just as bad. Needless to say, there was only one picture I was even remotely satisfied with, and that's stretching it.

Every time I came up with a shot, somebody beats me to it. I would say to myself... "Dang (I did use the word Dang). This is for the birds. Hence, my Plan B was hatched.

I sure hope this qualifies as Contrast. I'm getting so old I can't tell anymore.

You guys make it so tough. I had thought about Planes, Trains and Automobiles but you all beat me to it. I even thought about getting a shot of people walking or running but Pete kinda did that with his book. Sometimes, however, inspiration jumps right out at you. I was driving up to...

Well Thanks to ALL of you, I'm finally getting into the ball park. This one was ISO 200, F6.3, Exp 1/500. I tried F6.3 and F5.6 with shutter speeds ranging from 1/200 to 1/500. It got chilly so I quit for a while. I did very little post processing. Added a little contrast, a little...

I've seen absolutely spectacular photos of the moon by people here in Nikonites. I've been trying to do the same but nothing I do produces anything near the crystal clear shots of the others. This example is probably one of my best attempts. D60, 55-200 zoom (@200) ISO 200 - F11 - 1/1000 Its'...

I sure am glad this is freestyle. I never can come up with Ideas for these things. Anyway, I was given the opportunity to take some photographs within a private greenhouse. Orchids as far as you could see. Here are two of them, and hope they fare well in the judging.

I'm not exactly sure how to describe this, but here goes. I was making an attempt to take some moon pictures (nice full one tonight). It's also cold here so while inside, I set the camera up in Manual Mode, and made sure ISO was set to 100. I then took the camera outside and let it adjust to...

How do you tell a story that would mean as much to others as it means to me. This was taken last February at my Mom and Dad's 65th Wedding anniversary. It was the first time in many years we have been able to get all four generations together at the same time.

Sleep is a wonderful thing

I'm searching for a lightroom expert. I have LR-2, and currently have a low funding priority for buying the upgrade to 3. I currently have it installed on my desktop, and my laptop. I use the desktop when I want make edits to the photos. I use the laptop when relaxing and usually for...

With winter coming on, I'd like to continue my attempts at Snow Shots. I tried lots of photos with our record breaking snows last winter but they were all washed out and didn't really show any real detail. The snowy areas were just a wash of white. Can anyone offer any suggestions on what...

I have been using the USB cable to upload my photos from my D60. I currently have a cable on my computer at home, one on my computer at work, and a spare in my backpac Recently, a photographer at our local camara club recommended that using the memory card slot or a card reader was a better...

I've had my D60 for almost 2 years. Although I consider myself a rookie, I'm getting comfortable using the two kit lenses that came with it. So far about 1% of the photos I take are keepers. Hopefully I can improve on that over time I recently purchased a 105mm Macro. Talking about tough...
