Thanks, Mai. I was playing with my new Sony a6000 (great little camera) and was testing the timer function. The light from my office window wasn't half bad so I decided to try and do something with it. I was exhausted but this shot managed not to show it too much (shots looking directly into...

I've gotten emails and messages from many folks out of the US asking about it, so I can only imagine how it's being portrayed elsewhere. I really appreciate the concern. Yeah, there's been some bitter cold recently across a lot of this giant nation, but the snow horrors are very limited in...

Ever notice that the guy who does the Phlearn videos sounds like he's simultaneously about to run out of breath and burst out laughing at a joke he's about to tell, and he never does either - nor does he seem to actually breathe? Watch this intro - he goes a solid 20 seconds at high speed and...

Last things first, in CC 2014 you can apply photo filters as adjustment layers : Layers -> New Adjustment Layer -> Photo Filter, or just click on the camera with a filter icon in the Add An Adjustment panel... As for it acting similarly to these filters in Silver Efex Pro, the answer is "Yes...

I have a 30-day membership at Lynda.com that runs out this Friday, so I've been cramming as much in as possible. I spent this morning going through some of Taz Tally's Color Correction videos and I tell you, it made my head explode - in a really good way. I've mentioned things like histograms...

Last night I was doing some macro focus stacking composites and getting an error saying my start-up disc was full. Really?!?! Then I realized, I'm carrying 2 RAW files for every D750 shot I've taken since I started - the original and the DNG file. But not only that, when I delete the useless...

You didn't see this one, you saw the one taken with my 15mm that I preferred to it...

Saw this linked on NikonRumors and thought I'd share because it's something I never knew. https://nikoneurope-en.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/25406 For non-clickers, if your camera is equipped with an AF-ON button on the back then Nikon has designed it to only engage AF and metering...

Seems grey market D750 bodies are going for $1845. That's pretty significant savings and I suspect that had I seen this when I bought I might have jumped all over it, particularly given that the eBay seller is offering a 1 year warranty through them. Nikon D750 Digital SLR DSLR Camera Body 1...

I've not found anything that seems off and unfixable on the 16mm end of mine. Perhaps if you were to stick a human face in front of it, but in terms of nature and architecture I've had no issues whatsoever. Here are two copies of the same image shot with the 16-35mm at 16mm. The first is...

My a6000 arrived from B&H on Thursday, and as I opened the box I was surprised to see that Sony does not cover their LCD screen with protective plastic. There were some slight smudge marks on the screen, but the way in which I removed it from its bag may have cause them, so I shrugged it off...

3D printed filter holder for the Nikon 14-24mm f/2.8 lens | Nikon Rumors I read this today, and while I would have otherwise thought, "Yeah, that's cool", and moved on, I had also read yesterday in a Facebook post by a friend that their local library provides 3D printing at "cost" ($.35 a gram...

Bokeh is more a factor of the lens than the camera - what you gain with the FX camera is one stop of Depth of Field. That contributes to bokeh, but is not in and of itself responsible for it. Here's a shot I took with the D610... The reason I post it is that it was taken at f4.5 with a...

I don't remember seeing this, so my apologies if it's been posted, but I came across this today and thought I'd share. Adobe Lightroom 6 rumors | Photo Rumors For anyone considering Lightroom, the ability to do content aware fill processing like you can in Photoshop makes this tool even more...

Day 5 - The Launch Please give me a few days off before renominating me. :)

Posted this to my 365-ish thread this morning...

Holy moly, it's been almost a month since I added anything to this!! My bad. This was taken at the Midtown Ferry Terminal in Manhattan. Loved the shot as soon as I turned the corner, and particularly because I was looking for something to shoot and enter in an "Upside-Down" challenge...

This one likely should have gone up yesterday, except it wasn't processed until this morning.But why not, because my gratefulness to our Veterans doesn't exist only one day a year. B&W Challenge Day 4: Thanks For Saving Our Bacon

I received my rings last night, a pair of 77mm rings. I mounted them on both the 16-35mm f4 and the 24-120mm f4. Both lenses have a 4mm deep UV filter on them, about the same depth as my ND400 filter, and about the same depth as the combined XUME rings. So, with the rings and filter the...
