Article: Buy direct from Nikon? New site alert! You can view the page at http://nikonites.com/content.php?r=154-Buy-direct-from-Nikon-New-site-alert!

There hasn't been any sort of announcement or press release, but Nikon has quietly created a Nikon Store website. Personally I'll be watching to see if they stick with list prices or try to compete with the B&H's and Adorama's of the world. Will they have stock when others don't? One notable...

One more thing, I tried a crop on this just to see how it looked. I think it makes the bridge more of a focal point this way. I should get some billable work done now. ;)

I sent you back the file. Let me know if you didn't get it as TIFF files can be big. Since I didn't have a raw file, I took advantage of Photoshop CS5's new feature to open a jpeg as raw. (Once again I relied on a trick from Terry White to show me how.) I selected a spot on the water to set...

Karly: The sky is kind of messed up because I was working from a jpeg, but I used Topaz Adjust's Color Stretch in Photoshop CS5. Interesting effect. What do you think? I also slightly cropped the left side. One comment is that I think you over sharpened the image.

Adobe announced updates to Lightroom and the corresponding Camera Raw plugin for Photoshop CS5. Big news for Nikon mount Lightroom users is the addition of many new lens profiles. I distilled the list from Adobe's Lightroom Journal to be Nikon specific and it is shown below. Adobe also added...

If you are considering purchasing plugins (e.g. Nik Viveza, Topaz Adjust, Alien Skin Bokeh, etc.) for your post processing, check here first. The list is constantly updated with time based codes and offers.

That is simple and sweet!

Nikon Rumors is reporting a rumor that a new flash announcement may be imminent from Nikon. Both the SB-600 and SB-400 are around 6 years old and seem to be targeted.

The main purpose of this update is to add support for the D3100. Official support for Mac OS 10.6.4 is also added. Still no love for native 64-bit versions of Windows. Updates available at your country's Nikon site. U.S. link: http://bit.ly/9Xa52H

GREAT video tutorial and demo on a Donationware product called Enfuse which can create HDR images without leaving Lightroom. I haven't tried it - yet. Here is the link: http://bit.ly/g9RmV

Glad to see this guy got caught. Serves him right! Story: http://gizmo.do/awnyvd

Re: Karlskirche v3 After thinking about Anthony's comments while painting one of the boy's bedrooms this morning, I decided to try Photomatix Pro instead of Photoshop CS5 to generate the HDR. I have to say that I am MUCH happier with the results. Comments and suggestions welcome.

Thanks to the input from Helene and my lingering doubts, I tried a quick crop. It totally changes the "feel" of the image. Thanks for the input!

It is a church. The image below is the altar. They are refurbishing it now. Something that I found clever - they installed scaffolding and a lift so that you can go to the top. It costs 6€ but all of the fees are paying for the work. When they are done next year, all of it comes out. Shot with...

Hey jdeg: Have you noticed that the Recent Posts section on the Home page refresh quicker than the ones one the entry Forum page? Is there a refresh setting somewhere that needs to be tweaked?

Just got back last night from a quick 3 day business trip to Vienna, Austria. The last day I stayed over. I visited a beautiful church and tried to capture the moment via HDR. It was cloudy and a bit overcast but I think it turned out okay. I'd love some feedback on whether I should crop a...

In case you missed it along with all of the other announcements this week, Nikon updated their free basic editing and RAW development application ViewNX 2. Looks to be a pretty significant upgrade. Available for both the PC and Mac environment. Press release: Nikon | News | Free download of...
