    And for the curious wondering, "14 layers?!", here's the original photo... and the process with layer names... Layer 1 (background) - Background Layer 2 (new background) - Replicate backround (non-destructive edit), adjust light and use Smart Fill to remove the numbers. Layer 3 (pure Bishop)...

    2014-077: Quick trip to FL to help my Mom out and attend a wedding on the other side of the state. We dropped in to see if the Ft. Myers Bald Eagles were around on our way in from the airport, but the young'un was in the nest and the parents out and about. On my way to the car I thought...

    Looking for critique on this photo

    The think that takes the most away from it, for me, is that you are not looking down the center of the hallway. Perspective is too far to the right and it makes all the lines just a little off. You can get the left wall straight, but the sign and the lines in the ceiling are off. I pulled it...

    2014-076: Checkmate A lot going on in this one, and I may need to rethink and re-tweak before putting it in the monthly deal, but I wanted to get this up early as I'm going to be out of pocket for a bit. If for some reason you don't see pics from me for a couple days, fear not - I'll be...

    2014-075: Stepped away from the chess set and into Home Depot. Closest I've come thus far to getting something to "tile" - and I didn't mean to be punny Just before I rearranged them into their precise latitude and longitude. I was on the fence about this post... (insert witty pun...

    2014-074: Started with an idea and got sidetracked over some focus breathing issues and never had the opportunity to get back to it after running errands. The shots I did get were not suitable for what I wanted to do, so I decided to take the opportunity to try and apply some of the things...

    If you're in the market for a Nikon, TechRadar has a comparison of 11 current Nikon offerings. Don't know if this helps or not, but it's worth a read if only to bullet the Pros and Cons, pick a couple and then head to the NikonUSA site to click on 3 or 4 and do a complete side by side spec...

    Is 120mm really 120mm on the 24-120mm f/4?

    I went to do some more chess shots this morning and stumbled upon something very disconcerting. I was shooting with my 24-120mm f/4G and decided I wanted more depth of field, so I grabbed my 85mm f/1.8G. I had been shooting at 120mm on the zoom, so imagine my shock when I put the prime on and...

    Silky Smooth Water Attempt

    The fringing is definitely from post - likely cooking the clarity, contrast or sharpening. For silky water you could definitely have used some more time as the patterns are still clearly visible, but I understand the limitations without an ND. Grab a 9-10 stop and don't look back. But given...

    2014-073: Another game of (with) Chess Shot details - single 3 second exposure w/ 16-35mm zoom, zooming from all the way in (35mm) to all the way out (16mm) during the exposure, allowing for burn-in at each end.

    Pretzel's Snack-A-Day (365 for 2014)

    Good attempt. For me what would make this work is a better contrast to the lighting. You want it obvious that one is shadow and one is the actual hand. What would really work would be if you could replace the one shadow with the other. In other words, two photos where you see both the hand...

    2014-071: Stopped in a local second hand shoppe that I've wanted to stop in for a while but I've never been there when they were open. Couldn't have set things up better had I been in a studio.

    2014-070: Thankful that Daylight Savings Time allowed me to finish work and still have light and warmth (we hit 60 today!!) at the end of a long workday. This was a bit of a surprise. I wanted to capture the bubbles as my wife poured, but my D800 was in AF-C mode and when I reviewed my...
