I didn't crop like Don did but feel it would help. I sharpened a little, burned a little, and added a slight bit of contrast because the original seemed to be a little too light and hazy for my preference. Nice composition!!!

I will be glad when Sigma returns my circular polarizer. I'm going to have to call because I sent it back at the beginning of June because the coating was peeling. It would have helped slow down my shutter speed for the creek photo. Creek Photo: Marina: this photo was monochromatic when I...

I just received an email from B&H that they are offering Lightroom 5 for a $50 discount--making the total $99. This is for the full version only--the upgrade isn't included in the sale. The offer expires Friday at 6pm Eastern time. Items | B&H Photo Video EDIT: The email said the offer...

Okay--you might think this is a silly question, but here goes. How wide should a tripod quick release plate be to ensure it won't need to be shimmed (due to its being slightly loose)? After reading some reviews of tripods, I noticed one that had a quick release plate that was @ 1" to 1-1/4"...

Has anyone tried out Google's search for an image option? If you want to check and see if anyone has pilfered your photo(s), you can upload a photo to Google's image searching option, and it will bring up identical images. I did a search here and didn't see any posts referencing this type of...

Going through some of my 35mm film gear, I have 2 SB-28 flashes which I used in TTL with 35mm film. Are these compatible with DSLR's when used in manual (I know they won't meter TTL on a DSLR), and is there any way they can work as a Nikon CLS flash? If so, would I need any type of adapter to...

I just received an email from Adorama offering the full version of Lightroom 5 for $99--supposedly because I've bought a few expensive items there. Since I already purchased Lightroom 3 then upgraded to Lightroom 4, I should still be eligible to get the upgrade price to Lightroom 5 boxed version...

This was taken in the late 1990's with an N90s so I don't have any EXIF data or settings used. It was only by coincidence that the two guys painting were there. This dock is immediately off a parking lot at either Princeton University or Princeton Seminary. The water might be called Carnegie...

For one of their shows, I took photos of the dress rehearsal as well as production photos. Not all of the students had full makeup and hair for the dress rehearsal so there was an advantage to taking the production photos even though they were shot from above with the marked up floor. The...

Has anyone photographed these mountains? If so, do you have any photos to share? They are stunning! Rainbow mountains in China are uniquely colored danxia formations

I've kept watch--I actually notice manhole covers now because of this thread. :) While I haven't found anything ornate or highly unusual, these two made me chuckle. Alone, neither one attracts attention, but they were side-by-side. :D Anyone remember when Ma Bell and ATT competed and reigned as...

Hi everyone. I volunteer my time taking photos of the local high school dramas. They don't allow photography by the audience members, but I am allowed to photograph them (and provide the photos free of charge). The problem is that I must stand in the balcony to shoot. The stage floor poses a big...

Like WhiteLight said, you may have overexposed the photo. Last year when I made the switch to a DSLR, initially I was WAY off on the settings. Below is one of the first attempts I shot of a ferris wheel with a digital camera. :eyetwitch: Notice the color of the sky in the lower righthand...

Thanks. I will look into this. Is it possible to create a custom template like this example from Collage.com? I'd like to create a custom template using the comedy/tragedy theater mask below because the school students are members but don't know how to do it. Does anyone have any suggestions?

A couple decades ago, I was using a Minolta manual focus camera mounted on a tripod and was taking photos of boats on the river. I was having a lot of fun because the boats were pretty close to my side of the river when suddenly one of the people sitting nearby spoke up and asked me to hang...

Hmm...ingenious or people with too much time on their hands?!!

Being quite new to Lightroom, I am still trying to understand the differences between it and Photoshop Elements. I came across a video by Serge Ramelli (did a search here on his name without any hits) and wondered if anyone is familiar with him? Below is one of his videos. I was amazed at the...

I popped my D90's SDHC card into my card reader on my Windows Vista computer and received a prompt that there was an update available for Windows Live Photo Gallery which would allow it to read RAW files. Usually I just import the jpegs with Windows and view in Windows Live Photo Gallery before...

I just read an interesting CNN article that states some couples are requesting an 'unplugged' wedding (asking guests to put away their cameras). Although I don't do weddings myself, I was wondering how wedding photographers handle the guests who distract the wedding party during the time you are...

I came across a web site called Collage.com where cutouts are used in the process of creating a photo collage. Since I volunteer my time with a local high school's theater department, I wonder if I can create a photo collage of the year's shows/events and use a cutout of the Comedy and Tragedy...
