    Hark 2018

    Decided to upgrade to a 300mm f/4 PF with VR since my 300mm f/4 AF-S is so much heavier (I've been dealing with both trigger finger and trigger thumb in my right hand). I don't know why the EXIF doesn't list the lens as being the PF model. I did set the lens profile with the correct information...

    Post your latest purchases.

    This thread is addicting, isn't it?! ;) Did you come here to see what someone bought or to see whose money got taken? :loyal: Last summer I purchased a Nikon 300mm f/4 AF-S lens which I love; however, I struggle with its weight especially since I have both trigger finger and trigger thumb in my...

    The dar(k) side of D750 / Olympics

    Being curious, I looked up info on the Korean Nikon D750. This comes from the following link (you will need to translate the page then click on the tab for product specification): D750 | Nikon Imaging Korea Screen shot from the above link:

    Nikon 300mm f/4 PF VR problem?

    While watching a Steve Perry video on the Nikon 300mm f/4 PF, he mentioned there was a service advisory issued for the early copies of the lens. Supposedly when mounted on the D8xx bodies, there is a problem when the VR is engaged at slower shutter speeds causing the images to be a little...

    B&H Rewards

    A short time ago, I received an email from B&H about the rewards I've earned from buying through them. It's been a very long time since I received any rewards from them, and I've bought a lot! I was stoked to see this! Wow! $528. My mind began racing through all the things I'd like to have...

    Picking Lenses for my trip to the Southern USA

    I hope you don't mind, but I ran this image through PCC. Please understand my intention is only to show you the possibilities with the gear you have. First I went to ACR (Adobe Camera RAW) which uses the same tools as Lightroom. I added a little clarity, sharpening, and noise reduction (both the...

    Hark 2018

    I set all 3 of my Nikons with BBF in U1 (Aperture Priority) and BBF U2 (Manual Mode) for the times I want to work with moving subjects. Tried it out this afternoon but didn't have too many chances with my dogs. What few moving images I took tell me this will require some work. This is our new...

    Stuck in basic uploader again

    Something I just noticed, which happens when using both Chrome and Firefox, is when I go to the Advanced reply option and choose to insert images, the URL indicates the site isn't secure. I can still access the advanced uploader but wonder if this has anything to do with the problem @wev is...

    Bbf & u1

    There are many threads discussing how to set up BBF, but I am having trouble understanding how to set it up for U1. Let's say I want BBF set for U1 and possibly have the camera in Aperture Priority. How do I specify Aperture Priority since U1 is a mode just like Aperture Priority? And if I do...

    Hark 2018

    This is the other channel marker that is in the distance in one of the photos above. I don't go down here at night to know whether or not the red lights blink/flash regularly.

    Hark 2018

    I edited a few more that I took the other day, but one big difference is I changed the brightness on my laptop. Although it's been recalibrated regularly (and have done full calibrations over the past several years), I decided to read the directions and do another full calibration. The...

    Hark 2018

    Thank you Charlie and Marilynne. Yes, she totally captured my heart. When it isn't expected and you don't even have a chance to prepare, it is really hard.

    i got pulled up again

    Wow, that's crazy Roy! The only time I ever experienced a problem was when I wanted to take a photo of the Trenton Makes Bridge (which has been photographed ad nauseum by so many people). A guy from the Port Authority told me it was against their policy to allow photographs to be taken because...

    Hark 2018

    I haven't been out to shoot in the past 6 weeks with the exception of a few snow church photos (will probably do another wall calendar as a fundraiser). Anyway, after having a water pipe break in December as well as dealing with the passing of my beloved Yorkie Dachshund, I hadn't felt like...

    Post your favorite or best shot you took in 2017

    I'm having a hard time narrowing down my favorite. Surprisingly though, these two are the ones I like the best. It's surprising because I favor landscapes over birds or animals. This one is a hybrid male mallard duck. Its body is a very dark grey...almost black color. And I was just having...

    What are you listening too right now....

    It's the icon that is next to the image icon. Click that icon, and a box opens up. Insert your URL into the box (I used your link as an example). This screen shot was from the advanced reply option, but it's the same icon used in the quick reply box, too, Roy.

    Convert RGB to CYMK for printing press

    Last year I created a wall calendar as a church fundraiser but wasn't happy with the colors. It was printed by a printing company. This year when I went to look at the proof calendar, once again the colors were off a little. Then the guy said he wondered what color profile I used, and after...
