    Some Street Photography at Easton Farmer's Market

    As we were leaving, this large Pink Firetruck pulled up. It was for a project called Pink Heals and the truck is covered with messages from people to people who have either beat, are fighting or lost their battles with cancer. Reading the truck was quite touching, knowing that these were all...

    Some Street Photography at Easton Farmer's Market

    Better weather this week, but with it being Labor Day Weekend some of the regular vendors took the week off. Still, a lovely day with plenty of people. Alas, the Mrs. wasn't in the mood for hanging around for more than an hour, so many photos went untaken. Here's what I got.

    Some Street Photography at Easton Farmer's Market

    Was real busy last week and never got to get to these. August 23 was Tomato Fest at the EFM, and with a 20% chance of scattered showers you know what that means, right? Yep, it rained most of the morning. The Mrs. was with me, so we ducked into a nearby coffee shop for brunch just before the...

    Be Careful How You Set The Function Of Slot 2

    I asked about this in another thread, but I've since done some investigation and come to the bottom of what I see as a flaw in the firmware of Nikons with 2 SD slots. I did some internet searching and I could not find anything on this specifically other than to give a recommended setting for...

    Buffer Clear Rate Differs By Slot 2 Function

    OK, folks, I've not experienced this before, and I can't seem to find if this is normal. I've replicated this for both the D600 and D610, but haven't checked it for other cameras yet. Camera is set up to shoot RAW images only, not RAW plus JPEG. Slot 1 has a 92Mbs Sandisk Extreme Pro card...

    The obligatory transparent hood shot

    Strange Buffer Clearing Issue Last Night

    After an exhausting day at work I was happy to grab my D610 and head out to see a free concert with Coco Montoya in Bethlehem last night. I brought the D610 (w/grip) and 70-200mm f/4, and stuck the EyeFi card in there to possibly upload jpegs to Facebook during the evening. After originally...

    Upcoming Full Frame Camera Will Be Called the D750

    Saw this image on Nikon Rumors FB page yesterday... Close inspection shows the inclusion of the 3fps Quiet Mode shutter as well. I'm really, really intrigued by this. I will certainly wait until field reports are out and about, but I can definitely see one in my future, provided that it's a...

    First attempt @ HDR

    I took the image above, made a copy layer with a +2EV adjustment, then used a Gradient mask to blend the two, all visible in this screen capture. I think it makes it pop a bit more. I angled the gradient to keep the left side from getting too dark while preserving the colors to the right (I...

    How about an actual Education section under Learning Photography?

    When I look under Learning Photography I really don't see any subforum that has anything to do with actual learning, it's just a list of styles. And while I realize that there are methods and techniques specific to each type, it seems that the parent forum is a catch-all for everything and...

    Jake's Backdoor Hippie-palooza, 2014 Edition

    Ruby-Throated Hummer I played with this one a bit in post to see just how sharp I could get it without going over the top. There's details in these shots to coax out and I just need to spend some time figuring out how. Credit to Jimmy McIntyre and the folks at Shutter Evolve who have some...
