Has anyone ever used or heard of the lighting company named Jinbei? It's a Chinese company that Westcott uses when rebranding some strobes under their own name. In this link, fstoppers compares the Westcott FJ400 to the Godox AD400 Pro. The Westcott comes in with a lower price than the Godox...

I purchased this pistol grip to mount my Godox AD200 and use handheld. https://www.amazon.com/fantaseal-Stabilizer-Flashlight-SelfieStick-Compatible/dp/B01FUEXLGU/ref=sr_1_4?dchild=1&keywords=pistol+grip+for+ad200&qid=1618102675&s=electronics&sr=1-4

This looks interesting. Amazon sells a combo package with the 80mm Lensball and a suction cup tripod mount. Obviously the tripod head isn't included, but the first image gives an indication of how it works. Plus the combo price is less expensive than buying the two items separately. The tripod...

Over in one of the Facebook legal groups, I asked what was required to photograph private historic properties (privately owned homes) for the wall calendar I'm going to create. I was told I need a property release which is supposed to be similar to a model release. Any suggestions on websites...

I'm looking to create a couple of different effects. Photoshop Elements used to have this built in as an easy method (rather than doing it manually). I still have Elements 10 on this PC so might give it a go. It's called the Pop Out Effect. Here is an image from...

A neighbor has two kiddos who play soccer (different age groups), and since their family has been helpful with snow removal during the winter, I told them I'd like to take soccer photos. There are multiple fields side-by-side so the only access would be from one end where one of the goals is...

While I was at the park today, I took a few memorial bench photos. These images are for the families who have lost loved ones. I share them in a Facebook group dedicated to memorial benches. Originally I was headed to the 2nd bench pictured below, but a couple of high school girls got there...

I took this first photo the other day while testing out my 300mm lens that was repaired. Every photo had this one eye appear as though the Great Blue Heron was blind in it. Today I saw a Great Blue Heron in the same pond of water - if it is the same one, at least it can see out of this other...

How many people have tried using Photoshop CC to edit video? Any pros/cons using it compared with other video editing software? :confused:

Can you elaborate a little more on this? And what type of AF are you using? Single Point? Dynamic? Group? After @BackdoorArts mentioned he uses Dynamic 153 for flying birds, I gave it a try. Have had more consistent focus with that setting vs. Single Point or Dynamic 9 which is what I used to use.

One more of the hawk from a different vantage point. No Shake Reduction done this time though. I tried 2 or 3 times, but it made squiggly lines all around the edges as well as other distortion. But it didn't seem as though it was quite as necessary as some of the other images.

Obviously Nikon did something beneficial when this lens was in for repair. This was a horizontal image - only cropped to a vertical without cropping anything from the top or bottom. Considering this was shot at f/6.7, it's pretty darned good. I did take photos at f/8 and f/9, but I was testing...

I am still testing out this lens after getting it back from Nikon repair. No matter whether I use single point or dynamic 153, focusing just doesn't quite cut it in this type of situation - lots of background branches with a bird or raptor. There simply isn't a whole lot of contrast, and with...

Yeah, I know it's gonna be a royal pain to remove them but agree it will probably be best to do so. Here is a frontal view. I will have to see which one might be easier to edit when the time comes.
