I am really interested in compositing, but it's more than just pasting images onto a background. The lighting and color temperature have to match along with the correct perspective. After watching a number of videos by Ben Shirk, Joel Grimes, Matt Kloskowski, Phlearn, and others to really grasp...

Fortunately no problems right here. Yesterday morning I attended a viewing then went out to see the devastation. This off ramp from a state road (which exits onto another state road) was a mess with the tree blocking more than half of the exit. Despite reporting it to the state online, it took...

Yesterday's Hurricane Ida left 7 tornadoes in its wake between New Jersey and Pennsylvania. This one crossed over from New Jersey into Pennsylvania right at the Burlington Bristol Bridge. The storm left many roads impassable due to flooding from Philadelphia up into New Jersey. By the time I...

Today only B&H has the Tiffen Variable Neutral Density Filter on sale in 72mm, 77mm, and 82mm sizes. Prices range between $59.99 to $79.99 which is before the $20 mail-in rebate (so $39.99 to $59.99 final cost). The PDF rebate is linked directly on the same page as the filter. The filter rotates...

Since I like to promote focusing on elements of composition, there are a couple different options for this month. Look for either one or more Triangle(s) or Diagonal(s) in your image. These are lines within your frame that allow the viewer's eye to move around. For these options, you are free to...

Tagging is the same thing as a mention, @wev - just put an @ in front of someone's name.

Both B&H and Adorama list the Nikon MB-D16 Multi Battery Power Pack on sale for $136.95 (regular price is $336.95). According to Adorama's listing, the price expires today, August 29, 2021. B&H is sold out of theirs so not sure if it can still be purchased at that price. Considering the D780...

I copied nikonpup's post from another thread to address it here. This is some type of coding issue. I've run into something very similar on another forum and brought it to jdeg's attention again. I'm not sure the issue here on Nikonites is caused by using an apostrophe as it is in the link, but...

Phlearn posted a temporarily free tutorial on removing objects in Photoshop. Supposedly it will be available through August 31, 2021. All three tutorials should be available through the following link. It's broken up into 3 segments: Simple Object Removal - 1.75 hours with 7 videos...

Cross posted from my thread.

Is anyone else experiencing issues with not receiving email notifications? I changed my email address and made sure nothing is getting caught at my online spam folder. Usually I receive notices for PM's, subscribed threads, and mentions. Just checking to see if it's only me or if it is more...

Glad you received your lens. One of the biggest differences with wide angle lenses when composing landscape/scenic images is to include some type of foreground interest. Examples can be leading lines, having the lens close to the ground to capture foreground flowers with a scene in the...

I purchased a 3-stop ND filter made by Breakthrough Photography. It's the x2 version which is a little less expensive than the x4. Although I have a couple ND filters for 82mm (to go with a lens I no longer use), I don't want to use a step up ring. This way I can still use my lens hood and have...

Submission time is over. @nikonpup - you have 23 hours 20 minutes to add the date you took this photo to your post to be included as a finalist. Sorry, although I didn't make the rules, the date needs to be added in everyone's submission just as the camera model needs to be a Nikon to be...

This is what I see under your Experience tab - I scrolled down to where it lists Activities. And this is with Chrome. Perhaps a corrupt cookie?

I have no clue but wonder if pixel density might play a factor. After just comparing NEF's from a D7200 vs a D750, the D750 file sizes are 6016x4016 while the D7200 sizes are 6000x4000. But that doesn't offer any insight. :rolleyes: One thing I noticed is that not all NEF's from either camera...

I have sunflower seeds to put out at my squirrel feeder (WalMart). It keeps their food dry - and they quickly learned the lid is hinged. Giant Grocery Stores carry a 48 ounce bag of roasted unsalted peanuts in the shells for $5. Guess what little critters love them?! ;)...

Here is a memorial bench image I edited earlier this year. My method below is based on Joel Grimes' - not the one described in the fstoppers article. First I made a duplicate layer in PCC then took it over to Camera RAW. I converted the image to B&W, then under the HSL tab, I lowered the...

I haven't tried it yet for landscapes and don't have any portraits that would work for this particular style. Joel uses this technique for what he describes as gritty portraits. But I want to try Joel's style on a landscape - however, I'm not sure his editing style is quite the same as the one...
