    A New D750 Advisory

    My current shutter count. Granted it may not fail for a long time. My one-year warranty is up mid-May, but I may wait well beyond that time.

    Shutter failure on my D750 this morning.

    Hey @Blacktop did you hear about the shutter problem with the D750? I'll have to check my serial number to see if mine is affected. Nikon D750 Updated Service Advisory Released | Camera News at Cameraegg

    What causes pixelation?

    Here is the PNG file. Sized to 1024 on the long side with a resolution of 96. When I upload it to Facebook, I am STILL getting pixelation. And looking at the preview, I STILL see pixelation here. Grrr...this is so frustrating.

    What causes pixelation?

    J-see, what dimensions do you suggest I use to resize the file for uploading here? Paul suggested 1000 pixels on the long side. Here is one with 1000 pixels on the long side with a resolution of 96. Regardless of the size I save it, the forum will resize if it is any larger. I still see a little...

    What causes pixelation?

    This shows how I save all my images. Is there some other setting that needs to be changed?

    What causes pixelation?

    I'm trying to wrap my head around what J-see and @WayneF are saying--thank you for your input. When I save jpegs to upload here, I save them at 240 resolution and 1600 pixels on the long side. Then the forum still sizes them down during the upload. J-see, my jpeg settings in camera are...

    What causes pixelation?

    I went back this afternoon and tried to replicate the original image. Here is the original image which displays some pixelation. And here is the shot from this afternoon. The sky didn't have clouds this time although it looked a little hazy. I used a CP filter this time which I didn't the...

    PCC -- writing multiple lines on a curved path

    I am trying to create a photo that will be burned onto the top of a music CD and would like to write the song titles on multiple lines with curved text (to follow the curve of the CD). The problem is I can't figure out how to evenly space multiple lines that are curved. Having the lines be...

    What causes pixelation?

    Well...I sat down and edited the original jpeg to see if it makes any difference. Since I had reset the NEF, I erased my original settings in Bridge so I had to guess to replicate the settings and applied them to the jpeg. Some of the spot touching with the brush aren't the same though. Here...

    Picked up a few additional San Disk Extreme SD cards from Amazon a week ago. Although they aren't the fastest cards out there, they meet my needs. When I bought them, they were priced at $15.76 each. Amazon.com: SanDisk Extreme 32GB SDHC UHS-I/U3 Memory Card, Black (SDSDXNE-032G-GNCIN)...

    What causes pixelation?

    I went back today with the same camera/lens combo--the only difference was this time I used a CP filter plus the sunlight wasn't nearly as dramatic. It was very diffused due to the clouds. I sized this using the same dimensions as the original image. Even upon previewing this image, I don't see...

    Hark's 2015 and 2016

    The other day I went to this bridge but wound up with a pixelation problem so I returned today with the same camera/lens combo--had a CP filter with me today that I didn't have the other day. I wish I could take credit for the composition, but I saw a local photographer's image a couple of...

    Great price: D750 with 24-120mm lens

    Nikon is running a sale on the D750 with the 24-120mm f/4 lens combo--$2296.95. Only $300 more than just the body. If it had been that price when I bought my D750 body, I might have chosen to get the combo instead. Nikon D750 DSLR Camera with 24-120mm Lens 1549 B&H Photo Video

    Photographing people in the street.

    I ask permission when the person is aware I'm there except in instances when people are walking along a path or engaged in other activities. Melvin was sitting on a park bench and was quite nice allowing me to take his photo. This dog is named Toby and was taken on the same day. Again I...

    Hark's 2015 and 2016

    Lol! We do get flocks of them in some of our shopping center parking lots. Just this afternoon I walked under a huge swarm of them hoping they weren't going to do any target practice. ;) There have been times when I've gone to the car wash and parked in one of these lots. Let's just say several...

    Hark's 2015 and 2016

    A couple images taken on February 2nd. I'm still working on the bridge photo trying to figure out how to reduce the noise or if there is some other solution that will resolve the pixelation. Something is going on with those original files as I see streaks of dark blue in the sky even when the...

    What causes pixelation?

    I'm telling you I think it has to do with not being able to get rid of all the noise. If anyone wants to give it a go, here is a link to the original NEF. I reset everything back to default. Heads up--the file is 28.75MB. https://www.dropbox.com/s/jws2ab7b9ew14u7/028.NEF?dl=0 After resetting...
