    onOne Perfect Effects 8 is once again being offered for free. This is a standalone piece of software that can also be invoked directly from LR/PS/PSE. It's got some outstanding filters in there, including an extremely effective texture tool. Their somewhat inappropriately named Dynamic...

    Need A Lab For Gallery Packaging

    I met with a gallery yesterday that would like to try and sell my work (yay, I think). To start they're asking for 3 framed prints to hang, and 10 loose prints to put in rack displays. The prints they have now are 5x7's and 8x12's matted on a thin white mat with a similar back and stuffed in...

    Any recommendations on OS X security software?

    I'd always heard that you don't need to worry too much about hackers and Macs, but it would seem that somehow someone hacked into my United Airlines frequent flier account. I barely use it anymore, and only used it recently to fly to FL and back, and to the best of my recollection the only...

    A Request For The Judges On The Monthly Assignments

    I've been meaning to ask this for a while, and I understand the amount of time put in by the moderators on this forum already, so please know that I fully understand your time constraints and limitations. With that in mind, given the thought, time and effort that many forum members put into the...

    Seems like wud let a month slip by, so before we run out of April, and because I like this idea so much, post your favorite shot taken in March of this year (then start thinking about your favorite for this month)... Here's mine. For all the abstracts I took and enjoyed, my favorite is the...

    Are there any users of a Nero Trigger here on the forum?

    So @Dave_W, did you ever write this review? I'm very interested in your thoughts. I'm this close to ordering one for all sorts of reasons, but in every video I've seen of someone using it thus far it seems like it's either almost there, or that there's a real learning curve to know what it can...

    Latest Flickr App for iPhone - warning!!

    I updated my iphone's Flickr app last Friday. I don't remember receiving any kind of notification about this, but imagine my shock when I went to my Flickr page this morning and saw 20 photos taken with my iphone over the weekend, all uploaded immediately after I took them with no notification...

    I'm not a fan of traditional flower pics. But I had a fisheye on the other day, so I figured that's enough of a stretch.

    Oil Spots on D7100

    Oil is a very, very rare thing to find inside. There are plenty of different types of dust that can find its way into your camera. Heck, yesterday, after thoroughly cleaning my D800, I brought to a local church where the pastor agreed to allow me to photograph the inside of their grand piano...

    A new bird for our yard yesterday (one of these days I'll get an official count on the number of specific birds we've seen there). Green Heron decided to perch a while on a tree in the back.

    Here's a shot from Google Maps. The field in color is now covered completely in a solar array. The closest legitimate parking is at the very bottom. The businesses at the top are all gated lots with warehouses (note the tractor trailer parked there for size). The 'X' is where this shot is...

    Jake's Backdoor Hippie-palooza, 2014 Edition

    Here's a shot I've been trying to get right for the last week. I need a decent 10 foot free standing ladder to do what I want, and the ability to carry it 1/2 mile to where I need it to be without the cops towing my car from the roadside (I came this close to a ticket for an abandoned vehicle...

    Wow, been a long time since I posted anything. It's been a week of trying to capture something that doesn't seem to want to be captured - at least not from anywhere I can put myself. In the meantime, I was able to get these...

    Playing with a 3-Exposure HDR Series

    Comparing Images 1-4 The first 4 images are very, very similar, with almost no discernible differences between them. Here's a side-by-side-by-side composite of the 4... The differences are very faint and can really only be seen when you bounce back and forth between them in Lightroom. So...
