    A Lesson in File History

    Windows has some useful features, but i learned the hard way that File History wasn't one of the best decisions i've made. Seemed like a good idea at the time. Shame on me for not paying closer attention to how it was storing the files i was backing up. I just kept using it without paying...

    Lightroom catalog/organization confusion (?)

    Always had a hard time with stuff like this and hoping i can get some clarity as to what i have going on here. Lots of data getting built up and need to figure out what is necessary and not. Have a new computer coming and figured this would be a good time to tackle the things i have put off...

    Scared. Shoot anyway?

    Haven't been doing much shooting lately. Mostly hunting all fall. Sister sends me an email today. Their software company needs new group shots as well as individual head shots. So that would be around a dozen for the one group shot. Another group of 4 of the reps. Then headshots...

    Site for sunrise / sunset forecasts

    </title> <title>SunsetWx Would have worked last night here. :rolleyes: Looked out the window right before dark and was one of the best sunsets in a very long time. Checked this site and would have gone if known about it. Appears they have some degree of accuracy with it.

    Monitor calibration ever drive you nuts? a rant...

    Without a doubt it's an adventure trying to find my way in the world of digital photography. It's all good when put into perspective, but some of the struggles that come along can be a real nag. With post processing becoming more important to me also comes the question of whether the final...

    Incremental backup to external hard drive

    I don't really know what i'm doing on this subject. I purchased a 3 TB WD hard drive over the summer to protect my images. All i did was copy and paste folders into the drive a couple times. Now,,,,things are looking difficult as i have added to old folders, changes to some, etc. So it...

    Dorothea Lange

    Did anyone else see her documentary (Grab a hunk of Lightning) on PBS? As a photographer to describe to another photographer i don't even know how to describe except to say you really should see it.

    Export problems

    So i'm trying to get some prints made. I thought i had it ready, but looking at the file sizes i started to get concerned. I exported from lightroom at 100% as jpegs. I thought that was correct? They range from 4 - 18 mb in size. But,,,, there are a few that are 1.9 mb and they were...

    Need suggestions for ordering prints

    Never had a print made since film days. No idea how it works with these companies online. Was thinking of getting some landscapes printed from Nations - as i have a potential source to possibly sell a few. Was thinking about getting maybe a dozen prints in 8x10 but not sure where to go from...

    Lightroom brushes?

    Lr 6 stand alone lacks the whites / blacks in adjustment brushes, so i was looking online and there seem to be some brushes. I miss not having those two so i downloaded some freebies today and hope to check them out in a day or so. Not much of a fan of normal presets but the brushes sound...

    Windows photo viewer

    I edit and enjoy my photos then export as jpeg and view in windows photo viewer and am always disappointed. Always a noticeable difference in sharpness. Nothing i seem to be able to do about it. Do you use windows photo viewer or figure out how to make them look like they do in Lr using...

    Good bye Creative Cloud

    Just ordered a stand alone copy of Lr6. :) Most here don't have satellite internet (evidently) and probably don't have limits on monthly data usage so it may be difficult to understand why i'm so happy about this! Even as much as one update can run me out of badwidth for the month. My...

    Tokina 11-20 lens sample pics for feedback

    I just received the Tokina 11-20 this evening and took some quick pics to see if it's ok. I'll check again tomorrow but i'm pretty sure i ran out of adjustment on focus tune at -20. If not it is very close. So, considering i most likely will have to return it i thought i would ask for some...

    Bird station no. 2

    Yesterday i put together another bird feeder. This one is for the front yard. Nothing fancy, we're messy people so to us that's good enough. The back deck is good, but there are different birds that don't come around the back deck. Plus, the props on the deck have been shot a lot. The feed...

    Lightroom questions

    I'm having some issues with getting accurate color with LR. I'm new to it and would appreciate some feedback. I guess the best way to start is by showing an image processed with View NX2 with no wb or tint changes; which is close to the scene as shot. The second is in LR; and am finding a...
