Take a look at this, it's your original NEF file with the Green channel saturation boosted to +100 and the Yellow channel saturation cut to -100... Your greens definitely aren't where you thought they were. If I'm stuck with some screwy colors that I can't figure out I just add a...

FYI, 90% of the time when you want to mess with your unnatural looking greens it's not the greens that need adjusting, it's the yellows. Seriously. Here's you raw file with adjustments only to the yellow channel in ACR (Hue: +43, Saturation: +30) - The other option is not to mess with it...

Met a few fellow Nikonites a couple years back as a part of the Kelby Worldwide Photowalks. There's nothing exciting, it seems, in my area this year, but they're doing one in Princeton again and considering it's been 3 years since I've shot there I'd consider doing it again. Find a Photo Walk...

Adding on, when opening a file in Photoshop it's going to take the file type preference from Lightroom (as shown above). When opening from Camera RAW the file information is parameterized at the bottom of the camera raw window... When opening a RAW file Ps will always show the raw file...

Lightroom does not force you to work in JPEG when using Nik, it gives you a choice of JPEG, PSD or TIFF... Just go into the Lightroom Preferences -> External File Handling and set the type of file you'd want for each Nik filter. In Photoshop you can set preferences in the Nik Selective tool...

Lots of lost details in the clouds - highlights are really hot. Haze hides some stuff too. I duplicated the image, used a Multiply blend mode and a gradient mask so it only effected the top half. Then I used Camera Raw to dehaze a bit and add some clarity. It's a low-res jpeg so you can only...

Thought I'd show this barely processed shot from yesterday. D500 + 300mm f4 PF at ISO 12800. Cropped, rotated and with only Nik Dfine 2.0 and a levels adjustment applied.

While I agree that this isn't a great image for a B&W conversion it's still important to understand that going B&W isn't just about removing color. B&W photography is about expressing color (hues) in levels of luminosity, not just desaturating. Ansel Adams' work is so effective because he knew...

I have 4 straps with these on them, and the rings on every camera. Take the strap off, clip it to my belt, or clip it to itself and wear it around my neck. Easy and very inexpensive. Clips from Tractor Supply, rings from Michaels.

Here's another one shot at 1/160 that shows a line across the bottom...

Saw that a D800 was listed in the Marketplace today in the traditional method of forums like this - simple post with photos. Does that mean we can post away or are we still awaiting new software?

OK, so I don't do a lot of flash photography, but I needed to do some headshots for a friend as well as a project, so I was testing a light set-up using my D610 because it was handy. The D610 is supposed to be able to sync at 1/200s, but at 1/160 and even as slow as 1/100 I was getting what...

In Photoshop open your image and then invoke the Camera Raw Filter. In the basic tab set your Temperature to +100 and your Tint to +30, pull your Exposure back about 1/2 stop, then adjust the rest of the sliders as desired depending on the exposure. Then go to the HSL tab, go to the Hue...

(Mods, feel free to merge this with my other thread(s) - I just felt that this information stands well on its own and apart from all the symptoms and diagnostics that got me here.) After 5 weeks with two separate D500's I've reached the conclusion that the D500 touch screen is just a touch too...

While I may have fixed your issue it's not what I was talking about. I'm talking about these check boxes, which may or may not be analogous to the icons on your screen shot. Whether or not I have Show Cropped Area checked it makes no difference when I invoke the Camera Raw Filter. What...

So I got a little deeper into this today. Normally I'll leave things so my Image Review will immediately show the screen with all the shot EXIF, small preview and histogram. Today, when I experienced the issue, I just had it set to show me the basic preview screen and instead of showing the...

For giggles I decided to try the Shake Reduction option in the Ps Sharpening menu. This edit is just a crop, Shake Reduction and a Levels adjustment layer. There are some artifacts to clean up after the Shake Reduction, but it's not a difficult fix at all and gives you a solid starting point...

Going to make this short and sweet. I got my replacement D500 from B&H yesterday. Put in a battery, slapped on the 300mm f4 PF, set all my menu settings (including making sure my image review and menu screen timeouts were all 10 seconds), and went out shooting birds off the deck. About 100...

I just wanted to say that I'm extremely pleased that the tripod foot for my 70-200mm f4 also fits the latest 300mm f4 PF. It's a light enough lens that you really don't need a foot on it, so I never looked at which foot it uses, so I was pleasantly surprised when I received it and said, "Hmmmm...

I suspect these are going on closeout to be discontinued. I bought one of their "lay flat" versions a couple months back and it's become my go-to tripod. When I bought it I thought it was essentially the same as the MeFoto Roadtrip, but it wasn't. I believe this one is. Do yourself a favor...
