Reading through a different thread, one of the OP's comments really struck me...he wanted a quiet shutter because he was requested not to photograph during a ceremony (wedding I think) but apparently wanted to take photos on the sly regardless of the church's rules. There is a photographer...

1st entry--a Christmas Poinsettia given to us by a friend:

Oh no! What you are describing is what happened to me while trying to clean my D600's sensor. If you do more than one wet cleaning in a sitting, make sure you keep changing the wand during the successive wet cleanings so you don't recontaminate the sensor in another area with a dirty swab. If I...

After asking about a Lightscribe DVD burner, @BackdoorHippie mentioned there are some printers which can burn an image to the top of a DVD/CD. Epson makes some, but since I am quite happy with my current Canon printer, I am looking at getting another made by them. Is anyone familiar with...

@BackdoorHippie if I remember correctly, someone mentioned having a friend who works for Nikon Canada who confirmed they (the Canada division) was installing the shutters from the D610 into the D600's that were sent in for the oil/dust problem. At some point during the process of sending in my...

When I click on the HOME link, I get a prompt that says connection to localhost:9312 failed (errno=111, msg=Connection refused). I don't know what is supposed to be there but wanted to see....

Amazon has two different 50mm f/1.8G lenses advertised. I am familiar with the one, but the other is listed as a Special Edition lens with a price of $276.95--it is temporarily out of stock. Do that many people want to pay the extra money for it? What does it do that the regular 50mm f/1.8G...

@BackdoorHippie are there a lot of changes to how the tools work when upgrading from 4 to 5? I ask because I haven't yet learned everything in LR4 and have a couple of books to use as references. I wouldn't want to have to purchase more books when upgrading.... In other words, does a lot of what...

​ She is a beauty, and I'll bet you never regret sparing her life! I am partial to Torti's, but it is with great sadness that I share photos of my beloved Blackie who suddenly became ill and died in November. Here she is from earlier this year:

I had to laugh when I read the thread's title. I'm not sure if Australia ever caught the craze, but there was a time here in the US when pet rocks were popular! Seriously...they were advertised on TV like chia pets. ;) I like the lighting on the rock, but as the others have said, the composition...

Wow! ::what::

Re: New Nikon 18-35g Thread @ShootRaw when DXO Mark does lens tests, they do them on individual bodies. Surprisingly some of the lenses are rated higher on a D610 body than a D800. Here is a listing of some normal-to-wide zooms on a D610 so you can see where the 18-35mm falls. Please notice the...

I am curious as to what photo printers the members use, too. After I commented about having problems with my Lightscribe burner, @BackdoorHippie told me his older Epson printer prints directly onto DVDs/CDs. Unfortunately some of the newer Epson printers aren't rated well because of problems...

Has anyone used Nikon's Right Angle Viewfinder? I'm just wondering whether it is worth the $194 price tag. I can see its benefit especially for macro photography when the camera is really low to the ground. If you have used one, how do you like it, and when did you use it? And any pro/con...

@Bill16, how is the focusing when using the manual focus lenses? On manual film bodies, quite often there is some type of focus screen that helps achieve sharp focus. How is it using the focus screen that come with the DSLR camera? :confused:

Today is the first time I've ever heard the expression, Small Business Saturday which was a campaign created in 2010 by American Express for people to support Mom & Pop types stores on the Saturday after Black Friday. I know a couple of photographers on Facebook who are trying to get people to...

Does anyone know of a good external LightScribe DVD burner that is less than $100? My LG LightScribe burner blew 2 of my USB ports. :( Alternately, I am also considering using regular DVDs and putting DVD labels on them. Do you have any suggestions which brand of labels are good? For the high...

I still have a lens that I used with my N90s. It is a Sigma AF 70-210mm f/3.5-4.5 APO macro. Granted it is not a true macro lens--I'm not sure if it is 1:2 or 1:3, but will extension tubes work with this type of zoom macro lens? As a telephoto lens, it was pretty sharp--even sharper than the...

This was late in October taken with my D600. We don't often see clouds this color. It was taken after 6pm--red sky at night, sailor's delight.... ;) Most likely this is as red as we'll see here. :) ​

I came across this article showing some people who recreated photos based on ones that were taken when they were kids. #TBT: These People Recreated Their Childhood Photos And The Results Are Epic | Elite Daily I have a photo that I certainly wouldn't be caught doing now--I was only @2-3 years...
