Today when I fed the birds, this squirrel was frozen motionless. I wasn't sure how long he'd stay put but was still there after I grabbed my camera. He let me take this before moving to the other fence. It's a good thing my Australian Shepherd wasn't with me. My Aussie despises the squirrel...

I've been trying out a pre-owned Nikon 28-70mm f/2.8 (wanting something for my Fm2n), but the exposure is inconsistent. I had to keep turning the +/- button up and down trying to nail something usable but am guessing the aperture blades are sticking once in a while. Meh. It will be sent back. I...

I've been asked to take photos of kids playing baseball/T-ball (Little League) next spring and am looking for suggestions on where to stand and ideas on what parents like to see. Whether I will be able to move around or not is something I don't know although I was told I can stand in or near the...

This one is my favorite for the month. It was taken with my very first zoom lens for my Nikon N70. The lens is a Sigma 28-70mm f/2.8 from back in the late 1990's. I wanted to test the lens to decide whether or not to keep it. While I was pleasantly surprised by this image, the overall image...

Black Friday I ordered one of Phlearn's courses as they were advertising a sale. I clicked via the email I received to access their site. Quite often web sites will automatically apply their coupon code so it doesn't need to be entered, but they didn't. And of course I forget to enter it. So I...

I have a Nikon FM2n that I'd like to use, but it takes lenses with aperture rings. Currently I do have a few although my main zoom isn't the greatest. It is a Sigma 28-70mm f/2.8 that was made in the late 1990's. Of all the lenses I've ever owned, it is the least sharp. Granted that can be fixed...

With the holidays fast approaching and cyber Monday literally right around the corner, what items are you hoping to get this year? I've been wanting to upgrade my Nikon 300mm f/4 AF-S to the newest VR version but not sure that will happen yet. Was hoping the 300mm f/4 VR lens would be on sale...

Okay...so what is this (besides a big pain in the arse)? A red-tailed hawk or a falcon? :confused: My guess is a falcon simply due to its smaller size. I'm never going to learn their differences.

I want to try and create a specific tartan plaid pattern in Photoshop, but after searching through tutorials, they are over my head--I've never created anything with lines before so that is new to me. This is the tutorial I found which appears to have a lot of good info, but it's still a...

@BackdoorHippie has the Sigma Sport 150mm-600mm. Look through some of his posts about his Nikon 300mm f/4 PF coupled with a teleconverter. Maybe that combo will be another option for you to consider. ;) Hey...I like to spend other people's money!

I will admit their site isn't the easiest to navigate. Check out the Photography Plan (20 GB). When I select any of the options from the drop down arrow on the far left, each option will list its specific plan features. This plan is supposed to give you the options listed in this screen shot...

When the original D600 came out, if I remember correctly the full price was around $1999. Then when Nikon replaced it with the D610, that also had the same original price. When the D750 came out, it also came with the same original price as the D600 and D610. Jake @BackdoorHippie was the one who...

I have a couple of favorites...favorites for different reasons although they may not be my best images of the month. One of my high school classmates always loved seeing photos from around Bowman's Hill Tower in New Hope, PA. Sadly he passed a couple of years ago, but each October I try to get...

@nickt keep watch on camel camel camel. https://www.amazon.com/Canon-CLI-42-PK-Value-Pack/dp/B00ALMJT04/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1509375970&sr=8-1&keywords=Canon+CLI-42+8+PK

EDIT October 31st: Only the rebate is available on this now. The sale price is no longer being offered. Current price is back up to $129.99 after rebate (which is still a great price). B&H has the Canon Pixma PRO 100 on sale. A few of us bought it last year when the final price after rebate was...

I have both a Canon MG7120 (which shows up as the 7100 in my printer properties) and a Canon PRO 100. The 7120 is just so-so. It's okay for printing but not as good as my previous Canon all-in-one printer. BUT B&H is having an incredible sale on the Canon PRO 100. After the rebate, the final...

Re: Blacktop's "Top To Bottom" everyday except weekdays (sometimes weekdays) for 2017 Haha! Your duck must be related to this one because they walk/stretch the same way! ;)

I've given a little more thought to this and have a couple more suggestions. Is your monitor calibrated? I use a Spyder Pro device, but there are other devices members use that supposedly also give good results. A calibrated monitor is more accurate when displaying images. Another thing that...

I don't have Photoshop Elements 14 so I don't know what printing options it offers. But here is a comparison of printing options between Photoshop Elements 10 and PCC. This is the dialogue box I see in Photoshop Elements 10. There aren't any options for managing color. I choose my printer, set...

Paul, I don't know which editing program you are using, but here is an example. I created a new document in PCC entering the pixel dimensions you listed with a resolution of 300. The screen shot below confirms the dimensions. Towards the right side of the pop up box, you can see the word Pixels...
