See? holding you back! You are getting by with less, but you could be making much better. :)

But more seriously, if you feel as if your gear holds you back in some way, it truly is time to upgrade then.

Congrats on your Z9 starter kit Clovis! 😁

I have a Z8 or maybe it's successor possibly being my next body, with my Z5 becoming the low-res 2nd body. But I also have an upgrade plan for all of my F-mount lenses to new Z-mount, and I want most of that to be completed before buying a new body. Trading in current hardware is going to be key...

$1600 left on my furnace loan. Been waiting for the final numbers on the eclipse trip before trying to pay that off aggressively. $11,000 principal left on my car loan. Yeah, that will be a bit longer.

Yeah, I just wrote a $878 check for my credit card statement last weekend. Over 90% of that was expenses for my eclipse trip last month. That new Z14-24mm f/2.8 will have to wait again. I even have 2 lenses ready to be traded in.

I have encountered the issue with a 3rd party lens working on 1 body but not another. In my case it is the most current version of the Tamron 90mm F-mount. Worked fine with a D7000 and then a D750. I bought a Z5 and FTZ adapter and it won't work. I did my research after the fact and discovered...

One more for pure fun. Obviously an impossible shot, the moon comes from an image taken in 2020.

Scott, not sure if you checked this but make sure you don't have this website set to display as desktop version. Site is mobile-aware and has an easy access navigation menu that disappears to the upper-left corner to be out of the way. I am on android using Duck-Duck-Go browser which is...

It's really very mobile friendly on Chrome or Chrome-based browsers. Way more so than the old forum software. What features are you missing that are there on a desktop platform?

Some more tonight. I might be done now. This first one is a composite. I enhanced an earlier image posted here and pasted the moon and solar prominences from the 2nd photo here over it as an overlay blend. This is a single image and a lot of experimenting in the Local Contrast sliders...

Looks like it's all about wifi connection security. Meh.

It starts in the setup menu of the camera. Adobe RGB instead of sRGB. Then the Picture Controls. I like the natural tones of Standard, but many use Vivid. This part can be altered in post for past shoots. You can also download and install custom Picture Controls, or use the Picture Controls...

When you process a Raw file, the original stays unchanged. A separate description file is created that describes the alterations. So the crop will not happen until you export the image to some other file format. I would guess that is why the size still reports as original. Edit: I reread this...

Cindy, try searching with the word "acrylic" also. You get different hits. I don't have any specific source to recommend. But I do recommend buying in bulk because the cheap acrylic stuff from China has a way of cracking and breaking when you look at it wrong. For my watch collection I have 20...

I had technical issues during my session. I forgot to tighten down the manual adjusters on my star-tracker mount. This caused the mount to wander during the initial partial phase until I discovered the problem as I was removing the solar filter for the totality event. I had the intervalometer...

How does this diamond ring fit? #blackstar And a string of Bailey's Beads to go with that.

Solar protuberances on the front-end of totality. Infrared partial. This was a D600 infrared conversion with Nikkor 500mm f/8 reflex lens. I had to hand-hold because I could not tilt-up on tripod and see where I aimed. However I was so dazzled by totality that I forgot to pick up this camera...

I tried to take cellphone photos through my eclipse glasses. Very blurred. I think the camera wanted to focus on the filter material. But I was just giving a live update to everyone I work with, not trying to make art there. My setup...
