    Jake's Backdoor Hippie-palooza, 2014 Edition

    2014-058: (oops - seems I had my count off a day with two 054's) Since I was one day away from the end of the month and I had no "Urban and Architecture" photos to speak of, I took a drive to Lafayette College in Easton to see what I could come up with. Got stuck out in the cold with only...

    Recommended Default Settings For the D600/D610

    Nasim does a great walkthrough of the settings on his D600/610 in his latest post. I've been shooting with mine for almost 16 months and I still got something out of it. Worth taking the time to read if you have one or are considering getting one. Recommended Nikon D600 / D610 Settings

    New 610 - Soft Images

    As was stated, knowing the EXIF data would help a lot - particularly lens, aperture and shutter speed settings, focus mode, etc. Also, is this from a straight out of camera RAW file or a jpeg? RAW files require some tweaking, including adding a bit of sharpening, which is only applied in...

    Jake's Backdoor Hippie-palooza, 2014 Edition

    2014-056: I stared over my shoulder most of the day at my studio lights in the room across the hall, hoping to get to something I need to do, but alas the only shots I fired today were during snow flurries this morning as our new "pet" braved the cold. Yes, more animal shots. Those are...

    Was Someone Looking For A Small Backpack?

    This popped up among the weekly deals from B&H today. No space for a laptop, but for one camera and a few lenses on a hike this looks pretty ideal. No experience with the brand. Kata Minibee-110 PL Compact Backpack (Black) KT PL-MB-110 B&H

    2014-055: Here's a little bit of ... Just got back from dinner with a friend and I'm so freakin' tired - holy crap I didn't take any pictures today grab the camera and squeeze off one frame of, "Take that all you guys who complain about high ISO noise, this is what ISO 6400 looks like straight...

    D600 shutter replacement news

    There's a quote in the D610 Press Release (linked several times in other threads here) that quote that the sealing was upgraded to be the same as the D800. The D600 promised "equivalent performance". What the heck they changed, if anything, is anyone's guess, but outside of speculation I've...

    D600 shutter replacement news

    I just want to make sure I read this correctly. This is your reply after requesting service on a camera that has already been in for repair once, saying, essentially, "No way, fella. You've already had your replacement. It's fixed, regardless of what you're seeing."? That's troubling, beyond...

    The HDSLR Revolution Is Over, Right?

    Not my words, but a question asked by author and photographer going by the moniker planetMitch. He's a Canon 5D enthusiast and he asked the question to a bunch of industry insiders and put the responses together in an eBook which is currently available as a name-your-price (i.e. free if you...

    Capture NX-D replaces Capture NX-2 and is not FREE

    Saw on N-Photo that Nikon is replacing Capture NX-2 with an NX-D version that will be free. Capture was a far more powerful RAW editor than ViewNX but came at a price. So the fact that it's free is awesome, because you can't beat that. Unfortunately, likely due to Google now owning the U-point...

    Jake's Backdoor Hippie-palooza, 2014 Edition

    2014-054: To save you all from more animal shots, my day has been spent in my office, finishing a work project and hoping I'm not coming down with a cold. I did manage to raise a camera and squeeze the trigger if only to move forward one more day on this journey. This is what I stare at when...

    Jake's Backdoor Hippie-palooza, 2014 Edition

    I'm not helping it as much as it's helping itself. I think the squirrels are telling her where to eat. Here's what I found when I got back from food shopping this morning...

    Jake's Backdoor Hippie-palooza, 2014 Edition

    I'm thinking the same but didn't spend the time to decipher the issue last night. The second is a toned B&W while the first is color, so that has something to do with it. The oddest thing is that I have no idea where the red tone is coming from in the first photos since there is nothing in the...

    Need Your Eggs-pert Opinion

    Shot this yesterday for my 365. I'm wondering which of these presentations you prefer? I'm waffling (breakfast pun) between the 4x5 and 1x1 for a wall hanging. A friend of mine has a gallery that works with a lot of home remodeling folks (he also does custom furniture, so it's a nice...
