    Hark 2018

    This was taken a couple days before the Nor'easter rolled through (coastal storm). The guy would prop up the upper part of his body from time to time checking on his line.

    Questions on Photoshop 2018

    Haha! :highly_amused: No, I didn't until I read your suggestion. :unconscious: And there she be! I don't usually go into the Preferences section often so it never dawned on me. There I was looking through the Window tab. :beguiled: I found it before you posted your second reply. Thank you...

    Questions on Photoshop 2018

    I have a couple of questions after updating to Photoshop 2018. First...my color space changed after updating Camera RAW. The default was 8-bits, but I changed that to 16-bits. My question is which color space is better? Adobe RGB or sRGB? :confused: I honestly can't remember how mine was set...

    @WayneF do you have any idea what might be happening?

    BIF & Tracking question

    I went out yesterday to work more with BBF. For some reason, the dynamic 9 wasn't tracking (even showed dynamic 9 in the top screen of the camera). It wasn't until I got home that I saw I had inadvertently switched out of AF-C and was in AF-A. :unconscious: Must have spun the wrong wheel at some...

    Hark 2018

    Went out to practice BIF the other day but didn't have too many opportunities. A few of these are posted in another thread where I was asking questions on BIF and and the various auto focus settings. These were all taken with the Nikon 300mm f/4 PF although for some reason the EXIF doesn't...

    BIF & Tracking question

    This afternoon I had a chance to work with BBF and 3D AF. I was really looking foward to it! On my way to find some birds, I came across this stream. It was flowing at a pretty good rate of speed. Looking through my viewfinder, the AF dot was racing around faster than a mouse on an exercise...

    Feb. 2018 Assignment Theme: Water

    I'm a little late to the party. ;) Went out to work with BIF and only took my D610, 300mm, and 1.4x teleconverter. This stream ran underneath the roadway. I immediately thought of this thread and wanted to kick myself for not taking my bag with other lenses, a tripod, and an ND filter. But...

    Manfrotto Monopod Head

    Two years ago I posted this thread talking about converting a monopod head. I'm wondering if I find a supportive Arca Swiss monopod head that holds more than 5.5 pounds, would it be able to be converted to a different Manfrotto head...

    Manfrotto Monopod Head

    When it comes to monopod heads, there are only a couple of choices for the quick release plates. Either they are Manfrotto or Arca Swiss. I happen to prefer my Manfrotto tripod head, but their monopod head isn't rated for too much weight. When I bought my Manfrotto 234RC Tilt Head, it was...

    Simple DoF paid app

    They do not come up with the exact measurements. I'm having trouble dialing in exactly 60 feet into TrueDoF-Pro. I either go over by 4" or at least 1" too short. But this is what I came up with as close as I could get to 60 feet: TrueDof-Pro also has a setting to turn on/off factoring in...

    Simple DoF paid app

    I've been looking for an easy DoF calculator app and finally found one I really like. Previously I've been using TrueDoF-Pro but much prefer the intuitive and easy layout of Simple DoF. Here is a screen shot from my phone showing how it works. This was set up for a 300mm lens on my D750, f/10...

    Can you help ID this bird please?

    Was out the other day working on BIF and found a bunch of seagulls. Up until @Woodyg3 mentioned differences between gulls, I never realized there was more than one variety. So can anyone tell me what the big one is on the right? I am assuming it is some type of gull (and I probably shouldn't...

    Hark 2018

    This afternoon I went to Core Creek Park to shoot birds-in-flight. Since someone asked me to take photos of her son playing T-Ball, I need to work with moving subjects. BIF is easier said than done! :beguiled: Hopefully taking photos of a boy swinging a bat will be a little easier! :eek: These...

    BIF & Tracking question

    I set up all my bodies for U1 being BBF, Aperture Priority, AF-C, single point focus, and focus priority (instead of release priority). Today I worked on panning by following the birds. My focus point didn't move. As the birds flew, at times I couldn't keep the focus point on them. Is the focus...

    Hark 2018

    This is the State Capitol Building in Trenton, New Jersey. There is a levee on the Pennsylvania side. I climbed part way up the levee which is the ground in the foreground.
