    Post your birds (2)

    This bird feeder isn't all that big. The largest birds I've ever seen on it prior to now were Grackles. And even they don't fit all that well. The pole is leaning because I backed into it with the rider mower and snapped it off close to the ground. It's held well with a clamp. But the pole is...

    Post Your Automotive Shots!

    These are cross-posted in my thread. Photos from this weekend's car show. This first image blew my mind. Looking at the car with the naked eye, the windows were clear. When I put my camera up to my eye, the windows had a hazy, white chalky appearance. So I rotated my CP filter, and surprisingly...

    Hark 2018

    I am still working on the car show photos. There was a Corvette that received much love in its life. Most of the cars had signs stating Please Do Not Touch. The owner crossed out the Do Not and let people sit in his car. :) When I photographed this car, the owner asked if I could make it look...

    Hark 2018

    These are a few from today's car show. This was my first attempt at car photos, but I did quite a bit of research to find what I liked. I hadn't taken too many pics when it started to sprinkle. Earlier this morning I picked up a small Think Tank Emergency Rain Cover. It's a brand new product and...

    Weekly Challenge Oct. 3 - 10: Mode of Transportation

    Since I knew I'd be taking photos of the car show, I chose mode of transportation as this week's topic. However, I don't want this (or any photos from the car show) to be considered for this week's challenge. Here I expected this topic would receive several submissions. You don't even need to...

    Tips for getting exposure and color balance right in-camera?

    Are you choosing one of the profiles? Some are Adobe Profiles and others are Camera Profiles. For example, the Landscape profiles tend to offer more contrast. The Portrait profiles have much less contrast. Each profile has its own characteristics. You can toggle through them to see how their...

    Post your favorite September shot 2018

    Our township paid to have this fishing pier put in. Many of the people who fish were opposed to it because the water is so shallow where it was built. Plus it's right next to the boat launch. It's kind of a 'T' shape. This is the part that is closest to the boat launch. That means the noise from...

    Hark 2018

    This definitely wasn't planned! My Australian Shepherd almost got a hold of this possum before it reached the top of our 6' fence. It stayed put long enough for me to grab a camera. My D7200 was the easiest one to grab (albeit with a slow lens), and although I wasn't able to remove my CP filter...

    Hark 2018

    These are probably poisonous berries since birds don't appear to be eating them. Does anyone know the name of this plant? :confused:

    Camera Bag replacement dividers

    Locally I bought a used Tamrac Pro 12 camera bag, but not all of the padded velcro dividers really fit. A few appear to be from a smaller bag and don't quite reach from side-to-side. Does anyone know where I might be able to find similar dividers to replace the ones I need? :confused: I've been...

    September 2018 Theme: Home City, Town or just Where You Live

    This was taken at one of our local parks. Originally this land was dug/mined for quartz, but since we are so close to sea level, they hit water. Eventually the township got the land and turned it into a park. Last year they added this fishing pier.

    Hark 2018

    Here are a couple more from this afternoon. Both of these and the previous photo were edited in ACR and PCC with Color Efex Pro 4. Both of these were stopped down furtner...the first at f/14 and the second at f/13. Wanted to see how this lens performs at some extremes. I'm very happy with its...

    Hark 2018

    I took it back to the store and tried out two other preowned models. Both were much sharper throughout. This one was their rental lens. There is some play in the manual focus ring. I keep bumping it since the zoom is on the opposite end of the lens than what I'm accustomed to. I'll have to work...

    Hark 2018

    Here are a couple of images from one of our parks. I was trying out a new-to-me recent acquisition. Haven't yet decided whether or not I like this lens. It's a tad soft compared with what I've been using.

    wev's "I can't believe I'm doing this again. . ." 365 for 2018

    Thanks for the info! :encouragement: I looked at my options but a pro plan isn't being offered. I even clicked the link to learn more. Then I added the D500 to my cart to see what you were talking about, and I see they offer both a regular plan as well as a pro plan for that body. I will...
