    I'm back

    Hi All. Some of you may remember me (hopefully). I've been away from here for around 3 years. Illness and family matters got in the way of life, but everything is good now. I retired from my "real" job 2 years ago, and was lucky enough to be asked to be our Town Photographer. That opportunity...

    Funny Wedding Event

    I went to a wedding Friday night. Fairly large, about 175 people. The Groom is a photographer, so he brought in all of his own lighting, and all of his cameras, and hired someone to shoot. She used all Canon equipment, so I really didn't pay much attention to that end of it, but by observing...

    The importance of backups.

    Well, it finally happened. the hard drive in my main computer finally went "KABLOOEY" Friday night. No warning, no nothing. All the tricks that I learned over the years, and nothing would bring it back. Luckily, I learned years ago - when I was in the computer business - that you can never have...

    vignetting anomaly

    I took this photo a few days ago at Cape May, NJ. I used a lens hood because I had hard sunlight coming from the left. I generally leave the lens hood on all the time just out of habit. It looks like I'm getting vignetting on both the top right and left in the sky in the photo, or is it just my...

    Carved Eagles

    These Eagles appear from time to time in the area where I live. Nobody is really sure who does this, they just appear at random times. Sometimes the stay for weeks, and sometimes only 2 or 3 days, then disappear. Very odd. They are all carved of wood, and painted. The wingspan on the one to the...

    Do you straighten your photos?

    At first I thought that it was just my D5100. I have to straighten at least 75% of my photos. Since I moved up to a D7100, I'm finding the same thing. I don't use live view, so forget about the level in there. I line up to the grid in the viewfinder, and I still get pics skewed to the left (left...

    Tripod advice

    Time to go for a new tripod. I just don't trust my D7100 on top of my old Vivitar piece of carp. Looking at this Manfrotto 293 with a ball head. 8lb max. Anyone have experience with this, or something in this price range? This is at the top of my budget. Just using for occasional landscape...

    Profile photo

    Decided to change the profile photo. Tired of looking at the old one. Mostly for @Blacktop who didn't know who I was last time I changed it.

    B & H NYC visit

    I was in Manhattan yesterday, and paid a visit to B & H. Holy smokes. Never again. The place is a madhouse. It's also a maze. Just keep following the signs to "Photography" that went on forever round and round until I reached the 2nd floor. In a word, the place is nuts. The Nikon section is...

    How do YOU import photos?

    Just as the title says. What is your preferred method of importing photos from your camera into your computer? When I had only my D5100, I would pull the card out and put into my computer. Now, with the D7100, I've been connecting via cable. Is there a right way? Wrong way? Preferred way? How do...

    Why do you taunt me, Nikon?

    Finally decided to pull the trigger on a D7100. I was between the 7100 with the 18-140 or the 7100 body with a Tokina 11-16. I was in and out on Friday and Saturday with no time, so Sunday am I sit down at the computer with a fresh cup of coffee and an empty credit card, ready to go. Price on...
