I want to edit this photo for my family so to give as a Christmas present this year. This is of Crystal Lake, a campground where my family has camped for over 30 years.

I’m looking to make it “pop”. With this version I was looking to focus on the orange of the sunset against the sky and the reflection in the lake. I wanted to have the people and…[Read more]

@patrickw What is an LUT?

I’ve been playing around with Lightroom and Nik Collection and exploring my creative side.

I think I got a cool look to this photo, I think I gave it an interesting emotional feeling.

I was trying to give it a “washed-out – steel” kind of look. Mostly with brushes in LR and some adjustments with Nik. Experimenting fun!

I was playing around with the TEMP, TINT and HSL to get this effect.

Here are 2 photos I took today. I tried to experiment with long exposures and then a little creative B&W.

Daniel Krueger started the topic Lens Diameter – What is the Difference? in the forum General Photo Chit Chat 1mo ago

I have 2 lenses one is Nikon 55-200 and has a 52mm diameter and I have another Tamron 70-300 that is 67mm. I did some experimenting and found that the images they take at 200 are essentially the same.

So why then is one lens so much more larger in length and diameter than the other?

Is there an advantage or disadvantage? Am I missing…[Read more]

Daniel Krueger started the topic Advice on Equipment in the forum General Photo Chit Chat 1mo, 1wk ago

I wanted to ”talk this through” with someone in the photography world.
Currently I have:
Nikon D70s,
Nikon AF-S 18-70 3.5/4.5G ED
Tamron AF 70-300 4/5.6 LD Di

I’m contemplating getting some new equipment but I can only afford 1 item.
I’m thinking about:
AF-S DX NIKKOR 18-300mm f/3.5-6.3G ED VR
Or Nikon 5300
Or Nikon AF-P DX NIKKOR 10-20mm f/4.5-5…[Read more]

Hi, I’m looking at this lens: AF-S DX NIKKOR 18-300mm f/3.5-6.3G ED VR.

Right now I have an 18-70 and a 70-300. I find myself changing lenses often and skipping times when I could because of the time to switch lenses. I found this 18-300 lens and I was wondering if it’s too good to be true. I’ve read some reviews online and people seem to like…[Read more]

@Admin Rob, When you moved on from the D70, what camera did you choose for the upgrade?

Daniel Krueger replied to the topic Time to Upgrade – Nikon D70s to Nikon D5300 – Any Advice? in the forum General Photo Chit Chat 1mo, 3wk ago

Thanks Rob, Tobie and Jasenka (@admin, @tobiepsg, @jasenkag). I appreciate all your input.

I think for the time being, I’m going to work on managing the ISO a bit better in lower light conditions, remembering the reciprocal rule and minimum focal distance.

Daniel Krueger replied to the topic Time to Upgrade – Nikon D70s to Nikon D5300 – Any Advice? in the forum General Photo Chit Chat 1mo, 3wk ago

Ok, here are some pictures from yesterday’s hike and others from a different time.

I typically shoot in Aperture priority and I have the ISO set to 200(the lowest it can go). I always shoot at ISO 200 to ensure that the photos aren’t grainy.

I had a thought yesterday about setting the ISO to AUTO about halfway through my hike. The conditions…[Read more]

I have an old Nikon D70s with the original 18-70 f/3.5-4.5G ED Nikkor lens. I received it as a gift in 2006. It’s been an OK camera, it takes good pics in full sun.

I’ve been having a really tough time with taking sharp photos. It only has 5 AF sensors and it’s only 6MP.

Would upgrading to the Nikon D5300 and a new lens NIKON 18-300MM F/3.5-6.3G…[Read more]

@diripics

I am having trouble with this second step… I have to admit that my Photoshop skills are lacking.

Then I added a solid colour (yellow) mask. (Note: this will temporarily apply the colour to the foreground which is unmasked)

I’m looking at your screenshot and I see a second layer, there are 2 icons. I can’t make out what that first icon…[Read more]

Perfect! The EXPORT settings!

I’m struggling with something in Lightoom. It’s probably obvious but I can’t seem to wrap my head around it.

When I crop a photo it reduces the dimensions, but how do I get the photo back to the original size? In the old days in the darkroom, I would simply enlarge the photo to the size I want and the crop I want.

What am I missing in…[Read more]
