Yes, I know. I remembered seeing the image elsewhere on the forum earlier--sorry, I didn't look at the time it was uploaded the first time. For some reason I thought the first upload to a different thread was prior to Walt ending the challenge. But looking now, even that upload was too late and...

B&H had the Godox AD200 on a Black Friday/Cyber Monday sale for $30 off. So I bought the base unit. I already have a trigger and lightstand bracket for it. Next year I want to work on portraits and put my MagMod accessories to use. :)...

This is cross-posted in my thread. I went to this shopping center knowing seagulls tend to hang out in the parking lot. When I opened my window, they flew over so quickly that I had to put the window back up FAST! :beguiled: They settled down waiting for food. I didn't have any. :( So I opened...

I went out in search of seagulls, but this wasn't what I had in mind. :( I emailed the Pennsylvania State Game Commission asking if there is someone I should contact to report this. Fortunately the seagull didn't appear to be in any distress.

Here is a slightly different question. I uploaded the following image to Facebook then saved it to my iPhone. When viewing the image on my phone (even when looking at it via Facebook), the colors look lackluster; however, on my PC the colors are somewhat vibrant. So then I sent the saved iPhone...

ON1 has a sale on their software. Supposedly there is an extra $10 off with the coupon BLACKFRIDAY. I haven't tried it, but with the coupon, it should take the overall cost down to $69.99...

Three that don't quite make the cut. These first two with seagulls are just a tad soft. I was panning with BBF. There just isn't enough detail in the feathers to suit me. :( I should have stopped down a little more, too. Below I didn't quite get the robin's face in sharp enough focus.

Three from yesterday. I pulled out my 300mm f/4 PF after not having used it for a while. I thought perhaps I'd miss my Hoya HD CP filter (it was the one that broke and sent to Hoya for warranty repair), but thankfully I didn't need the CP filter. The colors still came out amazing. :) Last month...

Here is a pic of the 3 pieces. The piece on the upper left reminds me of a step up ring. It has threads on the back that attach it to my lens. And it looks like there are threads on this top side, too. The piece on the upper right also has a threaded appearance on the back. The back of this...

Has anyone ever dealt with Hoya for a broken filter? My Hoya HD Circular Polarizer broke last night. The limted one-year warranty runs out at the end of this month. When I removed it last night, a thin brass ring broke (must have been in between where the filter rotates) which then separated the...

My friend Jack (Jack-Be-Nimble) came back tonight.

I chose this particular image because the original was very dark. I decided not to convert or try to correct the background colors although I dialed down the saturation on their faces. The problem with editing images that are high ISO and underexposed is you can introduce artifacting. That's...

I had a go at this one but also chose a 2nd image that I will edit when I have time. When I raised the exposure, there are multiple colors of light present. The building on the far right is lit with fluorescent light (green color cast), the building behind the couple is tungsten (golden brown...

This first image is from my second slot which is set to jpeg. It's Adobe RGB simply resized for the forum. No editing done. There is clipping of both the whites and blacks. And this is the image converted to sRGB and edited mostly in ACR. I had to lower the red luminance to stop the whites...

These were from 2 weeks ago. Taken on the grounds of my church.

Within the past month, I decided to photograph a local lake but wanted to use a slow shutter speed to smooth out the water. In the back of the car, I carry an old and cheap Velbon. The problem is when I used it, it couldn't quite handle the weight of my gear. So I've been looking for an...

I copied the NEF multiple times and did many edits but kept clipping my blues. When I did it Paul's way, it was fine except for the lack of contrast. But no matter how I tried to add contrast, my blues clipped. :( So I deleted everything--after all, it was getting confusing having so many...
