Re: Wud's project 365 The sign is definitely more distracting than the name on the restaurant, but both can be easily remedied. ;)

I could surely bring it in a bit, but not enough to eliminate the flowers you find distracting without also eliminating part flow it's using, which I find distracting - at least without changing the crop ratio. I could eliminate most of it with a 4:5 crop, and likely would for framing. But...

Saw this today. Thinking about it, it's a pretty amazing "give away" from Adobe for anyone who buys a subscription and then leaves. Essentially, you get to keep the organizational and print functions from LR after you cancel. So you don't lose any work done in them, and you can continue to...

Another hummer, this time it's either a female or juvy...

If you're anything like I am you will do something once, love what you did, and then go 6 months before you want to do it again and forget what the heck you did to make it happen. So, for my own good, and partially because I thought someone here might want to see it, I made a video of the...

Quick "How To" via PS screen shots from one of the edits above. Step 1: Basic Lightroom adjustments and open to Photoshop... Step 2: B&W conversion in Silver Efex Pro 2 based on a high structure preset, but lots of tweaks and color filter applied... Step 3: Change layer blend mode from...

I somehow missed this one...

(seems there's no place to put general "People" or "Street" photos, so I guess I'll put this here) Easton Farmer's Market celebrated its 262nd birthday today. That's right, it's the longest continuously running outdoor market in the country - at least that's what they'll tell you. I love...

Posted this in my 365, but thought I'd share it here as well.

Snagged this yesterday standing on our deck. I have a couple better shots of the hummingbird waiting to be processed, but love the wasp in flight with him. Wish it was as sharp as the shots before, but the bird was moving and focus got just a touch soft. So happy to have a DX for the long...

About 3 months ago I looked at my D600 and noticed that the rubber eye piece was missing. The camera spends a lot of time on a strap over my shoulder while walking around, and I figure that at some point it rubbed against my clothes and popped off. A little upset I decided that rather than...

Lo-Res Screen, Hi-Res Window Shade

So @Marcel, since when do mods do spell check?! ;)

From the folks at Photography Life. I read the title and figure, "I've been using LR for years, there's nothing I haven't used!!" Then I read #4. 5 Tools You Might Not Be Using in Lightroom

Ran across this today... Canvas On Demand Deal - National: Amazon Local Not sure how many of you do canvas prints, but this seems like a more than reasonable deal. I'm considering a couple for my office here at home where formal frames don't work. When you drill through it goes to Canvas...

Saw this today walking to Easton Farmer's Market and really liked the way the shadow ran along the brick wall and almost creates the look of a rail for the "steps" in the concrete, while mirroring the real stairs on the other side.

Well, after only 2 days with the D7100 I am firmly convinced that the correlation between removing the Anti-Aliasing Filter and image sharpness is undeniable. It's like an amp that goes to 11. So, I'm seriously considering whether or not I want to send my D600 off to have the AA/Low Pass...

I'm sort of tired of people responding to inquiries from someone thinking of buying a D800 and then using it with their current glass with analogies about buying a performance car and then using it with cheap tires, broken engines, you name it. So, I've taken 5 shots here with 5 different...

No tubes (don't own any). Here's the uncropped, unrotated version... I expected it to fly off. This is as close as I dared get. For the curious, it's on an old tennis ball that's been cut so it fits over top of the metal fence posts for our garden fencing. Keeps me from getting scratches...

I don't think the crop needs to be so severe. What distracts me are the skewed lines. Use the perspective correction in LR (or just free rotate with the crop tool) to straighten some lines and then crop to accentuate the subject. I don't mind the white in the bottom right as it shows what...
