    Jake's Backdoor Hippie-palooza, 2014 Edition

    I've found while you don't need a focal point, you need something that you're trying to capture with the pull. I've yet to work out a science to it. The goal with these was to give the subject I wanted to capture enough time at the one extreme to imprint on the frame so that you'd know what it...

    Jake's Backdoor Hippie-palooza, 2014 Edition

    It's only 1/4 sec, so that's a good thing in terms of movement. It's also a short throw on this zoom, 16mm out to 8mm, so while you get a lot of movement, it's not a crazy amount of change in perspective. There are lots of throwaways from this outing. There was also a lot of work done to pull...

    Maybe One of Our Resident Experts Can Explain..........

    The answer is, as always, it depends. The more severe the differences in the lighting situation the more you'll benefit from having the little gaps filled in. A lot depends on the skills of the person doing the post processing as well, in particular because a well exposed '0' image from a D800...

    Jake's Backdoor Hippie-palooza, 2014 Edition

    Alas, the cool weather here in NJ has been great for the electric bill and my mood, but awful for our garden. Cold snaps have kept our tomatoes and pepper plants from reaching any kind of potential harvest. Alas, here is the worst of them, a veritable Charlie Brown Christmas Tree of tomato...

    Focus Area Selection - One more reason to get CC 2014

    Dang, just read about this in Tim Grey's daily email. I hadn't had time to look at any videos about all the new stuff that was added in CC 2014, but dang, this is a great tool @Pretzel, it makes those Invisible Man shots a piece of cake - or at least a heck of a lot easier. And if you like to...

    Unconverting a DNG file - is it possible?

    I've read that Adobe's DNG format essentially embeds the original RAW file inside the DNG file. If that's truly the case I would think there would be a way to extract the original RAW file format back out of the DNG file - but I can't seem to find anything on that. Does anyone know if there's...

    D600 shutter replacement news

    Final post about this unless there's something horrible to report. In its previous two return trips to Nikon the D600's shutter count went up <100 clicks each time. I forgot to document the first trip, but the second was only 75 as documented in this thread. This time I remembered to grab one...
