    Question for FX nikon users!

    Now that Bill received his D700, the long wait for it is finally over! :) He's been waiting to hear from me on my Nikon 20mm f/2.8 AF-D lens. So without further ado, here are some photos from it and also photos showing its condition. In all honesty, I don't think the lens has been used...

    What is the best companion camera to a D610 for a beginner?

    Mr. Bumbles, here are some photos so you can see the items. When I pulled out the Lowepro bag, there is a small slightly lightened spot on the outside of the bag. It's been sitting near a window for 18 months so obviously something made the color lighten a little. So...I am going to send both...

    What is the best companion camera to a D610 for a beginner?

    Does this kit come with a bag? If not, I believe I have a choice of two bags if you are interested. When I bought my D600, it came with a free Lowepro Adventura 170 bag. I tried to put some things in it but decided it wasn't large enough. I may have removed the tags (not sure) but never took...

    5 Day Black & White Challenge

    Day 5 -- Stache Stache is a 14-year old rescue cat that we adopted when he was a wee small kitten. :) This is my fifth photo for the challenge. I'd appreciate not being nominated until it's a better time for me. Admittedly I stink with conversion as it isn't something I ever tried prior to...

    5 Day Black & White Challenge

    Day 4 -- Another shot of Micah--taken today Fortunately she is a willing model--actually she was quite taken with my 105mm lens and wanted to give it a good sniff! ;) And of course I let her since it was a small price to pay. :cool:

    5 Day Black & White Challenge

    Day 3 -- Van Sant Covered Bridge I didn't have time to photograph anything today so here is one taken this past October--not edited previously. Last year I think I took a similar shot with my D90 as my D600 was out for repair. This year I had my D610 and really wanted a full-frame shot. Edited...

    Hark's 2014 Occasional Photos

    This is Micah--the latest rescue cat we adopted this past September. She is enjoying her new life here. There is an organization in North Carolina that makes pets available for local rescue agencies to promote for adoption by raising money so cats, kittens, dogs, and puppies get transported up...

    5 Day Black & White Challenge

    Day 2 -- Japanese Birch Tree Taken yesterday at a local hospital's courtyard--I was captivated by the bark of this tree. The garden they built is absolutely gorgeous.

    Hark's 2014 Occasional Photos

    Yesterday marked 11 years since we adopted this kitten Cherub. I was feeding the mother cat (which was feral) for a couple of months when one day she brought this kitten along. Cherub was so loving and sweet that we adopted both his mother and him. Sadly his mother died several years ago from an...

    Hark's 2014 Occasional Photos

    Yesterday my mother and I had doctor appointments--his office is connected to a hospital that has a courtyard--so with her wheelchair and backpack of necessities, I limited myself to one lens (18-35mm f/3.5-4.5). As we were leaving the courtyard, I spotted a few trees with very unusual bark and...

    5 Day Black & White Challenge

    Day 1 - Cherub Taken yesterday. He is an orange and white tabby that I adopted 11 years ago yesterday. He was a stray kitten living outside at the time, and I adopted his mother (Angel) as well. Got the hue/saturation sliders figured out, Jake. Not sure what was going on last night, but...

    Which To Print

    Since you have two photos, you do have the option to merge them together. I did a quick edit by starting with the original then extended the bottom of the canvas. Then I cropped the second photo by selecting the bottom part with the walkway and grass, then pasted it onto the extended canvas of...

    Better B&W Conversion Using Multiple Hue/Saturation Layers in Photoshop & Elements

    Re: Better B&W Conversion Using Multiple Hue/Saturation Layers in Photoshop & Element @BackdoorHippie I just tried going through this process but got stuck early on. I added the two Hue Saturation layers, but neither layer displays the wheel icon. I changed the blend mode to color for the one...

    Bought a ND400x - Midday Long exposure lake photo

    You definitely want to determine what the shutter speed is BEFORE you mount the filter. If you have a chance, please consider making a copy of this chart and keep it in your bag. The chart comes from this link: http://jimdoty.com/learn/exp101/exp_big3/110519_shutter_speeds_j6.jpg You want to...

    Hark's 2014 Occasional Photos

    Here are a couple more from this afternoon's outing. I've said it before, but it is worth repeating...this fall has been one of the most color I can ever remember. Normally we get at least one big storm which blows the leaves off the trees early, but this year many leaves are still holding on. :)

    Hark's 2014 Occasional Photos

    This afternoon I went back to the park to work on the tiny planet project that Jake posted. While photographing a series of photos to turn into a panoramic shot, this horse drawn hayride came down the walking path. Although I didn't have the walking path in my composition, I really couldn't...
