I see what you did there. Like.

So for context I am professionally responsible a mind bogglingly large client-facing web application for a Fortune 300 company.  I also am just a hobbyist at the technical stuff so I approach a...

Somebody was listening.  Well done! Wings look a little small for a long flight, but her serratus are looking pretty good (I know way more about fitness than photography - there I'm Mr. Picky...

My point was I'm not Mr. Picky Expert because birds are hard to photograph and I like his photos and not to worry too much about getting them exactly right by some standard. I do like wildlife...

Make sure to post what you wound up getting paid for the countless others trying to figure something like this out.  It's only one sample, but it's at least real world.

Your first post was better than 99% of the waste of internet space bird photos that get posted here (and everywhere else taking a close second to pictures of flowers for things I'm sad I clicked...

I don't know why they just wouldn't have the software embed the same at the same parameters as the camera (if they were going to limit options).The 2Mb jpeg would be fine for small prints and I...

As I always mention in these threads, CNX (and View NX) inflates the NEF file size by saving a full-size jpeg preview or embeds a quarter-sized preview.   For a D5100 file that means doubling the...

The blue door is one of those photos that I see here every few months that keeps me coming back.I always like the threads of places that I'm likely never to go to.  I really appreciate people...

I like the first burnout snap a lot.  Everything came together there for me.  I bet there are truck people that would pay for it, but I don't care for the others.  Just a tad boring as they're just...

Sure thing.  I figured it never hurts to have an extra profile installed as a starting point at the very least and if you happen to like it then hopefully it'll save a ton of work and frustration.

Oh, also the preset and profile are on Amazon cloud drive.  There's a lot of language about it being a US service so YMMV in other countries, I'm not sure how that works.

If you're frustrated with Lightroom + your D5100 hopefully this will help!I bought my D5100 about a year ago.I upgraded from a compact Canon point and shoot to a LX5 to get a bit more capability...

Winner.

I bought a flash first (about $90), then the 35mm 1.8, but I'm mostly photographing my kids.  I am more concerned about learning how to use everything (I'm about a year in on the D5100) than...

I decided to check it out since seeing it mentioned here.  I mostly just process to slightly better looking than real life in Lightroom since 99% of my photos are of my small kids so my editor...

It's all about scale.Maybe paste in a scaled tyrannosaurus standing on top of the rock formation with a big red arrow pointing to it that says "tyrannosaurus"?That way when I saw the small...

+1 for blue luminance under HSL.  Reducing it will bring back blues from the sky.  It's the lowest effort/most real looking result I think that you can get, but it's not dramatic. As for brushing,...

The D5100 looks like an absurd value right now.  I think $425 was the kit deal for a refurb this week.  Body only was $380, but the kit lens is defintely worth the $50. Compared to the D7000 the...

Well, for me it's not much of an image to look at for any particular reason, but I do think you did an awesome job of capturing what you would see with your eyes if you were standing there.  I...
