    St. Michaels MD Garage

    I'd love a little help here. I've been fussing with an image that I took a week or so ago while walking around at night in St. Michaels, Maryland. I came across this old garage under a funky tungsten streetlight. I finally got the color accurate but still feel it is missing something. I also...

    Why doesn't my profile picture show in forum messages?

    You may have filled out your profile (PLEASE DO!) and uploaded a profile image but wondered why your image isn't showing in forum messages. The reason is that the forum messages display your avatar - which may be different than your profile image. The partial screenshoot below shows where to set...

    Post your bokeh rich shots!

    Re: Post your bokah rich shots! I took this one a few years back in Sainte Mère Eglise, France. I was there visiting the D-Day sites. This is a fence across from where the paratroops landed that was damaged on D-Day. This city was the first one freed on D-Day. (If you saw the movie The Longest...

    How to view NEF thumbnails in 64-bit Windows Vista or 7

    So you have this spiffy new computer running 64-bit Windows, right? As most Nikonites probably would do, you copy your image library over to the hard drive. Open Windows Explorer and see the folders but not the thumbnail images. Oh, right! You forgot to load the NEF Codec!! Then you read that...

    New Nikon Speedlight?

    I own both a SB-800 and SB-400. I absolutely love my SB-400. I have a D300 and most often have the Nikkor 17-55 attached. The pop-up flash causes a shadow on the image because the lens and shade are too big. Because it is so portable, I'll have the SB-400 with me when the SB-800 will be too...

    Buy direct from Nikon? New site alert!

    There hasn't been any sort of announcement or press release, but Nikon has quietly created a Nikon Store website. Personally I'll be watching to see if they stick with list prices or try to compete with the B&H's and Adorama's of the world. Will they have stock when others don't? One notable...

    Lightening up..

    One more thing, I tried a crop on this just to see how it looked. I think it makes the bridge more of a focal point this way. I should get some billable work done now. ;)

    Lightening up..

    I sent you back the file. Let me know if you didn't get it as TIFF files can be big. Since I didn't have a raw file, I took advantage of Photoshop CS5's new feature to open a jpeg as raw. (Once again I relied on a trick from Terry White to show me how.) I selected a spot on the water to set...
