    Anhinga Circle Bar B Reserve, Florida

    floridafan, this is a 16:9 crop that Woody mentioned. The ratio is closer to a panoramic than either of the ones you posted here. I hope it's okay that I did this for you. If not, let me know and I'll delete it. And as for the watermark, it's always recommended to use one when posting online.

    Zazzle T-Shirts 40% Off

    Nikonites t-shirts are on sale for 40% off. It's only for a limited time if anyone is interested. I'm not sure what the one shirt is and just sent jdeg a PM asking about it. The two shirts John has promoted are the aperture blade (choice of black or white tee) and the one with the Nikonites logo...

    Hark 2018

    Here are a few from this afternoon. This first one is cross-posted in the weekly challenge for empty road. And below are two others I considered for the challenge. There were too many leaves on the road below which is why I decided against using it for the challenge. The road isn't quite...

    Post Your Santa Set-Ups

    Yesterday I was at the King of Prussia Mall where Santa was already greeting the children. I could kick myself for not taking any pics of their set-up/gear. They used some type of Canon body (might have been mirrorless since it was a small body). There was one strobe bounced into a silver...

    Adobe RGB vs. sRGB

    Here is another comparison. The first image was done as Adobe RGB. The second is sRGB. I have an entire folder of car show photos that will require converting. I did batch processing one time for resizing but haven't ever done it to change my color profile. 126 images is a lot, and I don't want...

    Adobe RGB vs. sRGB

    Thanks for the info, Paul. After updating Camera RAW on my laptop, that's when I began noticing a much larger issue with clipping. This has been my only workable solution. Moving forward, I think I will simply switch to sRGB at the very end. I haven't had any issues when printing sRGB but also...

    Adobe RGB vs. sRGB

    I'd like some input from members here. A while back I changed my camera to shoot as Adobe RGB instead of sRGB. Some of what I shoot gets printed (Adobe RGB is preferred for that), and I found I had less clipping with Adobe RGB instead of sRGB. And I also changed my post processing in ACR and...

    Monitor Calibration

    I use a Spyder Pro to calibrate my monitor, but I'm supposed to start with the monitor at its default brightness and contrast. The thing is before I ever began calibrating my display, I changed the settings. So I don't know what the default brightness/contrast should be. And I can't find...

    Post Your Automotive Shots!

    Here are a couple from Sunday (cross posted in my regular thread). The colors have been the most spectacular that I can ever remember. The unusual thing is the sky was this intensely blue to the naked eye. Usually I've only ever seen it like this when looking through my camera with a CP filter...

    Scaner Help

    I use the Epson Perfection V600 scanner. No doubt there are less expensive options. The scanning bed isn't overly large at 11.75"x8.5" so it wouldn't be able to scan really big prints. I put multiple 3x5 and 4x6 prints on it and scan them all in at once. It also has separate trays to scan...

    Hark 2018

    Back in October I took some Car Show photos since it was held at my church. One of the owners who is a church member asked for a few pics with trees in the background. We've had the most spectacular fall this year. Yesterday it was pretty windy which blew a lot of leaves off the trees, but this...

    Hark 2018

    I edited this image 3 times yesterday. The CP filter made the colors pop. There was a NOTICEABLE difference while rotating it. Then when hovering over the different presets in ACR (Camera Standard, Adobe Color, Adobe Landscape, etc), some brought out even more color. So this was the first edit...

    Moab Man's 2018

    There are a few others. @Eduard is somewhat active. As for Moab Man not being in the running for the 365 bonus, jdeg is pretty good with going by the honor system.

    Hark 2018

    Earlier this year I took out a Costco membership. One of the things I tried was Audubon birdseed. It is loaded with sunflower seeds--much more so than any other birdseed we've used. A squirrel started showing up regularly (have a squirrel baffle on the pole but I always add seed to the ground...

    Snowy Egret on Silver River

    Look at your histogram in your post processing software. Do you see the two red circled areas? Any colors that show up there mean the blacks and/or whites are clipped. I have my software set to show the clipping on my images. Black clipping displays as blue specs on images. Notice where the red...
