@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...

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...

I have been seeing a notice on Amazon listings for cameras and lenses: What you need to know – This product has a serial number that uniquely identifies the item. When your order ships, Amazon will scan the serial number and add it to the history of this order. Should the item go missing before...

Anyone wear multi-focal contact lenses for presbyopia (eyes that don't focus as close as they used to)? I'm really getting frustrated with my vision. I wore contacts all my life, but over the last 10 years, I get less and less near vision while wearing contacts and I need to use reading glasses...

Good deal of the day at Amazon... Pelican 1510 case with padded dividers, $120. (Be aware there is a new lighter weight 1535 version out, its about $210) I'd be all over this but if I buy another Pelican case my wife will have me living in a pelican case. Toady only, Dec 27 2016...

Got this in the B&H newsletter: 14 Tips for Shooting the Moon

I just found out that I got hosed for about $12 several years ago, lol. I don't use a polarizer filters as much as I should. With that in mind, I bought a very cheap one for use on a particular lens several years back. It is labeled 'OEC' brand, CPL, 67mm. I tried it quickly at the time and took...

Its the small things in life that sometimes seem huge, like the first time seeing your name in the phone book. Or first time seeing your backside on Google Earth. That's me on the dock leaning over my rowboat. Good its not high-res, it wouldn't be pretty. Here's the zoom-out if anybody is...

Nikon AF-S 18-70 1:35-4.5 G ED DX AF-S Nikkor 18-70 1:35-4.5 G ED DX lens in great condition. There is a minimal amount of insignificant dust particles visible under the front element that will not affect image quality. No fungus. This lens does have a focus motor so it will work on the D3x00...

OK guys, please steer me into a 150-600mm for my d7100. I know there are a number of Tamron owners here. Not as many Sigma owners. Pretty sure 10 Gauge has the Sigma and @Felisek too, I can't remember who else. I spent half the night reading posts here last night, but I'm looking for some...

Hi all. I pretty much never make prints. My experience is limited to uploading to Walmart. I want to try Nations Photo Lab. My end of the year goal is to get some nice prints on the walls. Near-term I need some 4x6, 5x7 and 8x10 in a few weeks. Walmart would be fine for this upcoming need, but...

I know it's not the greatest magazine out there, but I like to flip through it every month. I try to find a deal every year and pay less than $10. I noticed today Amazon has a Popular Photography subscription, new or renewal, for $5/year. Not sure how long the price will last, but for $5 I...

Xmp files??? How are they used? I just want to make sure I am understanding xmp files in Lightroom. I can safely delete the xmp files, right? And then have Lightroom make new ones? Here's the longer story if you are wondering why I ask... My computer died the other day. I have a simple backup...

If anyone is looking for the Adobe Photoshop Elements & Premiere Combo, it is marked down to $79.99 today (11/27) on Amazon. Amazon.com: Adobe Photoshop & Premiere Elements 13: Software Elements alone is at $59.99 today. @traceyjj was looking to upgrade last week, not sure if you can get this...

I just saw that the price has dropped on SanDisk 32 GB SDHC Extreme Pro 95mb/s card to the $50 range in case anybody has been thinking about getting one. Looks like Amazon, b&h and Adorama have all dropped the price. Maybe the new faster one is about to come out. Of course I paid $58 two days...

Ok, really bored today and I tried a very quick water drip shot. Nothing fancy, bowl in the sink under the faucet, colored plastic over the flash. It took 70 clicks to get 2 that were even close. I was in a rush, my wife did a quick run to the corner store. I really didn't want to explain to her...

I don't know much about iceboats, but I'm told this one is very old. Too cold to walk out and get a closer shot, so I did the best I could with the zoom. There are some newer more colorful ones around here, but none to be seen yet this year.

I went out last night to try some moon shots. I took MANY handheld shots of the moon. I could not get a sharp one handheld. Tried manual focus, auto focus, single servo, continuous servo, vr on/off, various apertures, up to 1000 shutter speed. Autofocus seemed to easily lock on. Manual focus...
