...reaching around to pat yourself on the back, take note. Every once in a while, after more than your share of compliments, you stumble onto a page where someone is shooting pretty much the same thing you are shoot, and what they are producing not only blows your work away, but it does it...

...and here's the same photo treated w/o the Color Efex filters, just light adjustments and the luminosity mask... The original is definitely a touch warmer, and there's the added glow, but the skin tones are otherwise the same.

Here's the thing, it is the same PP method. I've got a preset in Silver Efex Pro 2 called "Farmer's Market" that gets applied to the people shots, and most of the rest. How their skin looks afterward depends a lot on how it looked beforehand. Of the shots above, only the old couple didn't get...

I'm sure we've all run into this before, but in PM'ing someone is there a reason we can't attach a photo? I can link to something in the gallery, so why can't I at least link to something I've already attached in a previous post the same way I would using the Manage Attachments button on the Go...

Reported last week by Photography Life, and it seems Nikon is rolling out a fix... Nikon Confirms the D810 Thermal Issue and Offers a Solution

That's the goal, @RON. It's a great lens for this on a DX, but a little short on full frame - though it's certainly usable. At Musikfest last week I found myself using the 70-200mm f/4 more with the D600 walking around.

After a week off due to Musikfest, it was back to the market Saturday. A little late getting pics up. :) I was there early and the number of visitors was down a bit, plus I was looking for some other specific shots, so there's fewer people shots this week and more stuff. And just so I...

Bike Rack Street Art, Easton, PA Lesson learned here, never underestimate the power of perspective correction. This photo was near impossible to capture with the lens/body combination I had as there were cars parked along the sidewalk, along with signs, parking meters flower boxes, etc. It...

The DEDPXL challenge currently is Reflections. I've done a lot of water type reflections and conventional stuff, so I decided to see what I could come up with that was a little out of the ordinary. Let's see if any of these get critiqued. Propane Exchange "Why do you sound like you're...

Vertical crop at 4:5 ratio and run it on the right 1/3. Nice shot, suitable for framing!!

Noise doesn't seem to be a problem for me. My issue is with the backlit subject. You need to get their face lit somehow. There are various ways you could do that in PS, and in LR you'd likely need to use the brush tool. I love using the Reflector Efex filter from Nik Color Efex 4 for...

Read this today and decided to pass it on. I'm generally not the kind of person, let alone photographer, that can imagine themselves walking onto a site or into an area that is privately owned, and then act like I own the place. Heck, I've actually had people thank me for asking about...

Entry 1

And with another 10 minutes of playing with the light...

How's this? I was working with what I was given. ;) Wasn't sure how much of the warmth you wanted to keep. This is what I'd consider a "natural" look. Process was essentially finding a good neutral point using the Levels adjustment in Photoshop, then I played a little bit with the Color...

I was originally concerned that this might fall when I'll be in FL visiting family, but I'll be home the Monday before. That said, that Saturday I have plans with the Mrs. for Bethlehem, PA Oktoberfest. With that in mind, I'm thinking about possibly putting in a "walk" for the event...

Well, just for the record, I've been on the phone with Nikon. I've shot about 800 images with my original D600 since getting it back and this is what I'm seeing when I turn on Visualize Spots in Lightroom's spot removal tool... It's not horrible (yet), but it's certainly building up along...

Well, I am now the owner of a pair of D600's. I read a FS ad on another camera forum and it would seem that there is more than 1 great place for Nikon lovers on the net, because not only was it the right price, after trading emails with him he offered to send it to me on approval, with no money...

Part of the old Bethlehem Steel plant.

Day 9 (cont)... I should probably talk about Cast In Bronze, or as we call him, "Bell Boy". He plays a Carillon, which is essentially a bell piano, hammering keys with his fists, each laid out as they would be on a piano. Songs consist of Tubular Bells and the themes to The Omen and The...
