    Aurora Borealis alert: evening of October 30, 2021

    Terrible in NY but getting back to normal. We live on a lake so I'm used to our 'regulars'. Mid to late summer we got crazy with what I think are Asian Tiger mosquitoes. They have been around for a few years now but not like this year. Smaller, aggressive, and they feed in the daylight too. If...

    AF question on the D500

    unfortunately r+f and f+r don't work with bbf, only shutter button mode. I think Cindy switches between shutter and bb but I get myself all confused, lol. I have to stick with bbf full time. @hark , something else to play with is menu a4. The purpose of this setting is to decide how long the...

    Tamron SP AF 70-300mm f/4.0-5.6 Di VC USD got 2 questions

    The moon is sunlit and it moves pretty quickly so you don't want to go too slow on the shutter or it will blur. A tripod helps but you should be able to get a decent handheld shot. Manual mode of course. I took this a long time ago with the SP 70-300. It is cropped quite a bit and taken on a...

    User Banks

    Cindy @hark , well I ended up getting a d500. A few things I've learned. You asked above about how to get out of a memory bank and back to regular. You probably figured it out by now, but you can't. You are always in a bank. One video suggested thinking of them as 'cameras'. Camera A, Camera B...

    Tutorial - How to post images inside your post

    @hark , I agree with Fred. No adjustments by isp or connection equipment. I'm joining in late here, but I have some thoughts. @Skwaz I have a right click photo analyzer on my browser. When I check the image right above as it is in your post, I get 400x600. When I click the image to get the full...

    Sugared up

    @Dangerspouse , where were you? Wife and I stopped in real quick and got 8 boxes of windmill cookies for gifts and a bag of stuffed donuts for the ride home. For everyone, this is a locally famous family owned Dutch bakery in Dangerspouse's stomping grounds around Sussex, New Jersey. About a 40...

    Transit of Mercury, anyone?

    Great work Jake! Of course it was cloudy up here in NY. I got 3 shots through thinner cloud moments. Not even worth putting them together. Without a good series, they could pass for sensor dust. I don't have the right filter. I used an n400, set focus for infinity, 1/8000, f32 and quickly...

    Adorama D7200 Refurbs $549

    Just noticed this morning, August 21 2019, that Adorama has D7200 Nikon refurbished cameras for $549! That is $145 cheaper than B&H's current refurb price of $694. I jumped on a Adorama refurb deal like this a few years ago for a d7200 and I got an unusual higher shutter count of around 2k...

    Problem exporting in Lightroom.

    Some more thoughts.... Try a jpg export. Try opening the tiff file in photoshop Check the folder where you exported the tiff to. Are there any .xmp files in the folder? I don't use them and don't know a lot about them, but just wondering if their presence could mess you up. Check catalog...

    Focus Stacking

    Yeh, you should get LR and PS as part of the $10/month photography package. Adobe plays some marketing games and doesn't always show everybody the same offerings. Sometimes you have to dig. How big are the objects and how much detail do you need? Before you get too involved with the stacking...

    Aurora Borealis tonight in the USA

    No northern lights:sorrow: Got the space station. 20 seconds at 17,150 mph, so about a 95 mile trail. Apparently I got Orion, Virgo, and Seven Sisters in the shot. No clue about that night sky stuff, somebody on FB told me. and an airplane trail.

    Aurora Borealis tonight in the USA

    That would be cool, but the space station will be to the south this time. It might be coming too early, 7:56pm, probably not totally dark yet. The mid-hudson valley in general can be windy. We are are about 60 miles up the river from nyc. We live on the south end of a good size lake, so tend to...
