    Wondering where to find an app that does this..

    So I've been shooting weddings for awhile now and thought that I would step it up with some integrated tech. Here's the basic idea. Let's say I have an iPad/Surface Pro or similar posted up on the bar along with some business cards. I'm shooting the event and decide to upload a few pictures...

    Help un-tinting a window

    Hi all. I need help with the small project where I need to undo the tint on some glass of a shop window so that the viewer can more clearly see inside but I have no idea on where to start or how to do this. I've been told that I should use the dodge tool but I'm unsure the best way to do that...

    Noobish question here.. How to clean filters

    So, I noticed today that my filters are sort of dirty. Years of shooting my Nikon NC and Marumi CP filter in harsh conditions have led to some dust and dirt, but nothing major. I figured, now's a good time to clean them. However, I don't know quite what to use. I don't want to damage any sort of...

    How much should I pay for my D800?

    I have a really great deal on a D800 right now and the camera has around 25,000 clicks. I'm wondering how much should I be paying for it? The deal is really too good to pass up, but just curious what others think on the matter. Thanks!

    D800 extreme deal..

    So I was talking to a buddy of mine today and he told showed me his brand new Fuji X-Ti which he adores now. He also was saying he wants to get rid of his D800 and wants to sell it to a friend. I humored his price and what he told me blew my socks off my feet. He wants 1900, but I could likely...

    Website critique

    So my site has been live for about a month now and I haven't really been shooting much during the winter. I would like some critique on the site in general. I feel as if it doesn't have a clear pinpointed objective, partly because I don't have many photos to post there, and partly because my...

    I got a raise! Now I'm getting NAS again!

    So I fell into a (small) raise, and a 700$ bonus today at work. Pretty sweet! It came at a good time too, since I've been thinking about FF and the 24-70 a LOT recently. I currently have a D7000, 16-85 and a 50 1.4 (which I'd like to keep for when I have a FF camera). Thinking about selling...

    Advise me on a backdrop setup

    I've been contemplating the purchase of a black and white backdrop for portraits and also general everyday item photography. Thing is, I know absolutely NOTHING of backdrops and there seems to be a lot of choices judging by what I'm pulling up on Amazon and the popular camera websites as well...

    Opinions on lenses for NYC trip

    So I'm going to NYC in December to see all the pretty lights and stuff. I currently have a D7000 with a 16-85vr and a 50 1.4 in my bag. (Yes, can you believe that's it?! :P) I know that the 50 would be great for bokeh shots of the Christmas lights and portraits of my girlfriend, but fear that...

    Heading to Adorama in NYC, D600 tradeup?

    So my girlfriend and I are heading to NYC this December to see all the lights, sounds etc. and I noticed that Adorama is based in NYC. I have thoughts about trading up my D7k and my 16-85 for a refurbished D600. The refurbs are going for $1500 on their site currently. I'm hoping to get about...

    Carry Speed straps rock!

    So a few weeks ago I picked up a CarrySpeed strap with the baseplate. Man, how did I go this long without this strap? It's awesome! The only bad thing is that it sometimes makes squeaking noises emanating from the rotating metal joint that attaches the camera to the strap, but that's the only...

    Video or stills for Saturn V rocket launch?

    I have a rare opportunity to shoot the SaturnV rocket going into space tomorrow night from the Lincoln Memorial in DC. I just can't decide weather to do video or stills. I've never shot a smallish moving object like a rocket in the dark, against the lit up Washington Monument before. Any tips...

    Cleaned my sensor last week, great results

    So I had this coming for a long time. After my sunset picture taking in the middle of Spring, I had accumulated a lot of pollen on my sensor from swapping out lenses all the time. So I picked up a Giotto Rocket Air blower and another LensPen (ended up losing the first in Baltimore last year)...

    Crap.

    Well, I was going to go to Gettysburg with a friends' folks, just tag along and shoot photos of what I imagine the 150th anniversary of the Battle would be...But at the last minute, they realized that tickets were 35 bucks and the event lasted all day. There's not much else to do in town during...

    Strong uptick in adverts on Nikonites

    :mad: Since my last visit on a machine I've noticed WAY more ads than I remember seeing on Nikonites. What is the deal? I know we all have to pay our server dues, but...

    Very basic questions, noob at video

    Hi. So I have a D7K and plan on shooting (both literally and in context of video) a .50 cal BMG at an object loaded with tannerite at the range this weekend (big gun + big bullet + volatile substance = big boom!) I know that I probably won't be able to capture the actual bullet travel, and...

    Backend theory pt.1

    So the website is coming along pretty well. There have been some...er, let's say, 'hiccups' along the way of course. The DNS got all mangled up so that has been sorted and there has been some design changes every step of the way (and likely up until the last second before going live, knowing...

    Got some dust on me sensor.

    So it's finally happened. I blame that nasty pollen junk. Now I have to clean my sensor for the very first time:chargrined: It was REALLY bad before, at least 20 spots on it. I blew it with my mouth (don't get the wrong idea, there slim..) and most of the spots dislodged, but there's still some...

    My website is underway

    I'm not certain why I've waited so long to do this, but here goes nothing! Being fluent in Drupal and Perl, I figured it was time to get on it. I'm compiling some basic code now to get the site up and running soon (still propagating at the moment though :/) Soon I'll have my very own...
