Here's an interesting critter from this morning's driveabout...

Some shots from walking around Easton yesterday... I'm still trying to figure out what's in the old church with the Ferrari flag flying out front.

Occasionally I will throw together a very short video tutorial for someone using the principle if a picture is worth a thousand words then a video is work one hundred thousand. I upload these to YouTube, but because a) I am usually using someone else's photo in the example, and b) I have no...

A lot more playing around with the highlight, shadow, white and black sliders to find a balance without blowing anything out. It was a weird texture to try and smooth while retaining crispness in the features of the players. Here's a go at it with PSE + Silver Efex Pro. Ideally I'd love to...

Here you go... I created a Preset with the settings here... Free File Sharing and Storage made Simple. Download it and import it into LR

I've searched high and low for a decent quick release and wound up making my own for about $6 per camera. The Domke already has a quick release for the neck portion, which you can also see, and it worked fine when I wanted it to go on a tripod, but this is head and shoulders above. I've had...

Revisiting an old idea for something new...

Re: nidding's first year of shooting Can I play? Variations on a Wet Plate preset in Analog Efex Pro 2, with Grunge (film grain) and Border filters from Perfect Effects 8.5

As a forum member who limits their contributions to the stuff in my head and not my wallet, I don't have access to the Private discussion and chat functions here. But @hark was kind enough to forward me a screen shot of the kinds words folks posted when I reached 5000 posts the other day, and I...

You ever think about stacking these in a single photo?

It's a nice shot particularly for handheld. I have a very persistent and annoying quirk when it comes to critiquing photos and it has to do with straight lines and horizons. And while yours really doesn't have one, I find myself wanting to rotate the image about 2 degrees to the left so that...

Those of you who have been around here for a while know that I've been flipping through various handles within watermarks and whatnot, looking to eventually establish a company name to do business under. It was always going to be Backdoor Hippie Photography, but as I started talking to people...

I love this photo, but there's just something about the light that bothers me. Maybe lighten the sand in the background, and maybe the shadows in the palm and forearm a bit? I'm being hyper-critical here, I know. I just love the hand and find that those other elements distract me a little too...

Since this is in the Macro section I'm assuming that's what you're looking for. I love my Sigma 105mm f/2.8. As sharp as the Nikon, IMHO (and Marcel's), and it will save you a few bucks. I use it on the D600 and D800, and also stick my Kenko 2X TC on there occasionally. Took this with the...

Playing with the macro lens indoors last night. Here's what's left of a Tomatillo that fell to the ground last fall and decayed in the snow. Grabbed it knowing it could be interesting to shoot before we tilled the garden.

When you upload to Flickr, you have to make sure you share the "original" upload. Anything resized will have the EXIF stripped. The new format has made doing that very difficult. You have to go to the Download All Sizes window (found in the '...' menu) and choose View All Sizes... Click on...

Lots of noise. Needed to mask off the background to control the noise and work just on the bird, even after applying noise reduction.

I'm not usually one to take flower pics, but they finally showed up and I had a camera...
