    Weekly Challenge Jan. 11-18: FLASH (Read description for details)

    Part of my "getting to "M" with OCF" project. Shot these sculptured birds. Bought them as a Christmas present for my wife from a local artist Loretta Kyle, they are done in chlorite. Shot with three OCF using Nikon's CLS and a muted on camera pop up as controller. Post processing with Corel...

    Getting to M and Off Camera Flash

    New year - new learning - well continued learning. I've tried this a bit before but decided to knuckle down a little and learn how to shoot in Manual with off camera flashes. lots of trial and lots of errors. I do not have a proper light meter so I'm doing this by guessing. This is part...

    Nikon 1 J5 + 10-30mm

    Looking at buying a Nikon 1 J5 with 10-30mm. I'm tired of how poorly the Nikon Coolpix P100 autofocuses. This camera purchase isn't for me, but for the staff at the Children's Centre where I work. I tend to bring my Nikon DSLR when I do a photo shoot at the Centre and seldom use the 'staff...

    Photo software on Mini-PC

    So Santa also put a new mini-PC under the tree for me. An ASUS T102HA. It is Windows 10, with a 10" removable touch screen. Sort of a cross between a tablet and Windows laptop. Pictured here on a real laptop - my 17" ASUS ROG gaming laptop which is great - and 'semi-portable' in that it is...

    Look what Santa brought me.... post your photo-related gifts

    Doesn't really fit the "latest purchases" if you don't buy it eh? So thought I'd start a thread where we can share our glee of what we find under the Christmas Tree this year. My dearly beloved decided to give me my gift Christmas Eve so I could use it Christmas morning. An new Siggy 50mm...

    Trigger Happy? Tell me about your experience triggering flashes

    Learning it is all about the lighting. And lighting can be complicated. I have a small collection of speedlights - a Nikon SB-400, 600 & 700 plus a Metz 58 Af-2 (and an old Vivitar Auto-Thyristor 2800-D I picked up for $10 - test flashes but not on my cameras). I have a couple of...

    Post Your Landscape Photos

    Thanks to those who helped choose the image, the photo with the clouds is going to the printer - my first large image - comes out 36x16, to be printed on canvas. Restitched it using MS ICE program, it did a better job than Zoner 18 did. A little post production but not a lot. Hopefully...

    Post your latest purchases.

    Well I didn't buy the Elinchrom 4x4 Strobe system - decided I was not ready to for that yet. (But maybe Santa will think I am) I spent some quality time in a few camera shops getting sale clerks to try and explain what lighting system they had on offer that would be best suited to me. I...

    Post Your Landscape Photos

    Need a little help selecting one of these to make into a 36x16 canvas print as a gift. This is the Okotoks Erratic aka "The Big Rock". It is a out of place big rock deposited by the glaciers eons ago. This one is a stitch of eight images. Shot with my D610 and a Tamron 20-40 2.7-3.5 (yes...
