Hey all, Just to be upfront, I'm NOT a Lightroom guy. We never gelled. Dunno why. Oh, and this is a Windows topic. I became a Capture One user during Covid and that has served me well for post processing. I don't use it for any file handling duties as the dev's and I have different ideas on...

My wife uses a Canon TR8620 printer to print photos for her scrap book of quilts and to document her wall decorations so she can replicate them over the years. Lately she's been complaining about what I can only describe as 'banding' in her prints. It's bad enough that she can't make out the...

I recently purchased a new laptop, with sufficient specs to run Lightroom Classic with plenty of RAM and processing capabilities to spare. I then signed up for the creative cloud package with LrC, LR and PS. Basic plan without the additional cloud storage as I already have Onedrive cloud storage...

I am following some other folks from POTN which has been a long time watering hole for me and will miss it. A lot of good responses from others on this site and looking forward to being part of a new family. I am living in the Pacific Northwest east of Seattle and have since moving here from...

I have an acquaintance at another website who has an OM-1 film kit in storage - properly stored from the sound of it, batteries taken out, etc. - who is looking to get it to an appreciative home for a reasonable price. He apparently did photography for musical acts back in the day. I am not...

Heuou. I'm looking for any ideas and suggestions on fabric pouches for square lens filters. The ones I have is the Lee Sev5n System but some of the filters came without the fabric blue pouches for them and I would like to buy a few to protect the filters from dust and scratches. I already have...

I hope it will be a busy thread and a few gamers out there. What games are you currently playing or looking forward to play or purchase (if not available yet)? I am getting quite interested and excited about Starfield (from Bethesda) because I love Sci Fi (Mass Effect is one of my favourite...

I know I've seen them before, can't seem to find one now. It has a sling inside the bag that supports everything by the body so the lens hangs down but doesn't rest on the bottom of the bag. Single camera, lens 8" or so with the hood on. It needs to be ready when its pulled out of the case...

Hello. I am looking for advice, experience with or just opinion, on wide angle lenses for Sony FE. Let me say the use cases first: *I would like a wide angle for one handed selfies of me and my little dog on travel, I'm not sure which focal length would be better/easier for that as I haven't...

So, I managed to finagle myself a boondoggle at work. We have some business in Sacramento, so I'm going to fly into San Francisco on a early (relatively) flight. Before driving to Sacramento, my plans are to do a photo walk across the Golden Gate. Doing some innerweb spelunking, it looks...

First off, I use Apple computers, so any suggestions for a Windows box is unnecessary. At the moment I use a late 2014 iMac 27 inch with 32 gb RAM, mainly for photo processing (Photoshop, DXO Photolab, NeoFinder, ...). This machine is showing its age mainly due to evolving software that needs...

Hello, now that autumn is here the mushrooms are starting to spring up and I would like to photograph the. Though I don't have a proper 1:2 or 1:1 macro lens I do have the Tamron zooms that can get very close. But being zoom lenses they do have a very long and large shape to them that will block...

I already have a ginormous backpack, looking for recommendations for something smaller. My current behemoth is the Vanguard Alta Sky 51D daypack. At almost 6-1/2 lbs. and 20-1/8" H X 12=5/8" W X 7-7/8" deep internal, the height and width are great for my needs. But, the almost 8" deep internal...

I have the free nik software kit on my laptop and recently bought a desk top both are Mac products. I enjoy using silver efex and am trying to find if it is still available for free. I have seen older youtube vid and the location they show where to find it is no longer accessible or DXO has...

If anyone has checked out the "bicycle" thread, cycling has pretty much been my main focus within the past year! Normally I bring my Nikon 1 J5 + 10mm f/2.8 camera setup with me in a small fanny pack and it's perfect for daytime conditions where the BSI 20.8mp sensor really shines with it's...

Two beautiful Barn Owls at a summer fete. Lumix GX8 + Lumix G 20mm @ 1/125 f5.6 ISO1600.

I'm helping a family member go through a cache of digital items (computers, cameras, phones, etc.) and one particular item has gotten me paused... an HP PhotoSmart camera from 1997! :eek: This is HP's entry into the market and is the original "C5340A" model in their "PhotoSmart" family of...

Cheers, Jock PS -- I don't know why the software here freaks out over the ISO measurement; it does the same thing whether the image is SOOC or has been post-processed.

I want to work with the local area cosplayers more this year. Which means I have to learn to do things in photoshop. Unfortunately. But good cosplay photos, at least some of them, require some post work to look their best. This is my first go at doing a light saber. I already had the photo from...
