All the shots in my 50mm holiday thread are with it. Here's a 100% crop of a ISO 6400 shot. Very comparable to D7100.

Walk me?! Wait, that wasn't a question.

They're ripping up the streets in my brother in-law's neighborhood, which has made for some interesting things to shoot.

...not me!! Photo of Woman Glued to Her Phone Wins the 2014 National Geographic Photo Contest But, it was taken by a guy who I used to sit next to in English class senior year - a yearbook photographer from my HS class and a great friend of my brother. Too cool. There's an inside story...

I'm guessing you could, but I've never done it. Are you attempting to nail it straight out of camera on a JPEG or are you willing to shoot RAW? IR is amazingly difficult to nail as a JPEG so I wouldn't recommend it. I know little about shooting with an IR filter and have only shot with an IR...

So, I've decided that over my holiday break I'm going to limit myself to just a 50mm prime on the camera. I'll make exceptions for exceptional situations (i.e. family portrait around the tree or some amazing creature in the back yard), but otherwise if I need to zoom in or out then the legs...

Image composition is always important, and there's more to it than just the rule of thirds. Maybe this is at the heart of the discussion? As mentioned, there are techniques of composition applied within all the crops, which is why they don't feel off. Sometimes you can point to the rule of...

I'm just saying that the composition as is is just OK and that moving around might have yielded something better. One of the most important things to learn as a photographer is that the most important piece of equipment that you have is your legs, because they can bend down and move you in any...

Big question - do you understand what each of the blending modes actually does? Blending is all about math, and without applying masks it's going to do what it's going to do with no concern over DoF or anything else photography related. Here's a chart from a Lynda.com course that shows what...

LR/ACR will get you close with the perspective correction (Auto and Vertical seemed to do OK), but you need to use Free Transform in Photoshop to get you somewhere reasonable with this one. Here's a side-by-side-by-side ... Upper Left = Original Upper Right = Free Transform (Skew adjustment)...

Up too early on a Sunday AM and I finally got around to checking in on Zack Arias' blog. I stopped doing the DEDPXL assignments because, well, I just did. And when I saw the post for the final assignment I thought about what I could do, and what I had time for, and then decided to skip it...

Some mornings you just get forced to take a break in the middle of eating breakfast. Fancy two light set-up - window photo-right, table lamp 8 feet to the left. Black bed sheet backdrop and a piece of smoked tempered glass on a folding table. I love fancy studio setups. :)

I'm a big fan of craft beer, and in particular of Carton Brewing, a NJ brewery. I use an app called Untappd that tracks the various beers I've had, and when I checked in for the latest Carton release (a wonderful Black Ale call "Epitome") I posted a rather hurried shot of the can with the beer...

So a friend on Facebook, with an apparent case of Attention Deficit Disorder, nominated me to do the B&W challenge "because I think it would be great to see you do it", not realizing I'd done it before. So after the 5 Day B&W Challenge died here in 10 days (imagine that), I figured I'd post...

Psssst - I mentioned it!! ;) Nice review. You certainly invested heavily in it - I hope it works for you. I bought a single ring and adapter for use on my ND400 since it's the one filter I find myself removing as a part of shooting, figuring if I liked it I'd buy more. Great idea, but even...

I hadn't seen this linked yet, and when I read it I thought it was likely one of the most thorough reviews on what varies and how when you're comparing cropped sensors to full frame or to each other. https://photographylife.com/sensor-crop-factors-and-equivalence There are obvious details...

I didn't think you were, but I wanted to be clear that the concept of a self portrait is a long-standing one that has much less to do with the pure narcissism exhibited in the "selfie". Sure, it can be argued that any time one decides to capture a permanent representation of themselves that...
