    Weekly Challenge Jul 3 - Jul 9 - : Topic Patriotism - patriotism or independence

    I'm getting in here at the last minute. ;) Just a little background on this statue - the pedestal base lists the names of residents who participated in The World War 1917-1919. Since it doesn't specify World War I, I'm guessing it was erected prior to WWII. Just within the past week, someone...

    Lynda.com now LinkedIn Learning

    While searching for some photography challenge ideas, I came across info that Lynda.com is now LinkedIn Learning. Curious if anyone still has a Lynda.com membership - do their courses now take you to LinkedIn Learning? :confused: It looks like Lynda.com might still be an active web site.

    Sigma Macro lenses

    Here you go @arshuter - this is the winter image Jake shot that I was thinking of. Taken with his Sigma 105mm macro.

    Sigma Macro lenses

    Maybe I misspoke that Jake's bubble shots were with his Sigma 105mm macro. I just looked and saw some taken with his 24-120mm. But I DID find these taken with his Sigma 105mm macro. It was all his macro shots that made me finally get a macro lens myself (although mine is by Nikon since it was...

    Blowouts when photograhing birds with white plumage

    06Honda, I did what Jake suggested but only on the chest (not the face). There was a small patch of whites that was blown out on the chest. First I used an adjustment brush in Camera RAW and lowered the whites in the small section that were clipped (although I probably didn't have to). Then I...

    Weekly Challenge June 5 - 11: Glass/Glasses

    A pair of my prescription sunglasses that have a mirror coating. Tried out several benches to get a decent view from the lake's reflection.

    Resetting File Sequence # to Match Shutter Count

    When I took some photos with my D7100, I noticed the file sequence number and the shutter count didn't match. Thanks to @nickt for a link that explained the process, I was able to match them up. In the shooting menu of the D7100 (and no doubt a menu option for other bodies), d7 gave me the...

    Opions thoughts wanted

    @arshuter I am going to suggest you check out the other two options you had if they are still available. I'm going to be totally honest here. I need to call Nikon to find out about my shutter count. Apparently it is off by 495 from the file number sequence. I purchased it refurbished directly...

    Hark 2019

    There is a Veterans Flag Display at a park this weekend, and I knew I wanted to take photos. All of these were with my D750 - didn't even take a DX body because there were specific shots I really wanted to get. The event really starts tomorrow which means many people will be present. That's why...

    Using ND filters on D5500

    Not to throw a wrench into the discussion, but according to B&H's link for the ICE 10-stop ND filter, it's listed as a Neutral Density 3.0 filter as well as a 1000x filter factor. :eyetwitch: https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1191690-REG/ice_ice_nd1000_77_77mm_ice_nd1000_solid.html

    Hark 2019

    Yesterday I went to the usual spot looking for the Green Heron. Instead there was a dog running around the cove chasing the birds. The dog was just having a little fun. ;) So I decided to make a photo op out of it. The dog's owner was going to call it, but when he saw me taking pics, he resumed...
