That is not an easy shoot from there.  I used a 28mm handheld with two rows. You want to get some foreground down a ways into the canyon and some headroom on your panos to avoid the letterbox look.

For unsnipped replies.  For the love of god, gentlemen!

Just keep using Lightroom, it's an excellent conversion using Camera Standard or Adobe standard. I had the D7200 which was excellent, but the D500 sensor I'm currently using is a sweetheart of a ...

The rest of my pano programs are gathering dust for that reason, as well as Boundary Warp, which is a no brainer. HDR panos are possible in Lightroom DNG as well. Operator error for sure.  LR isn't ...

A lot of driving for a single day :^)   Come out of Portland on 84, then on to the old highway at Corbett, then make the obligatory stops at the Vista House, Latourell Falls, Multnomah falls and a ...

I actually think Bryan Carnathan does a fantastic job with his test chart crops. The 35D is pretty much what it shows at the different f stops: mud wide open, sharp at f8.  The site is not as ...

Katmai?  McNeil River?

How on earth can anyone make such a claim? Any of the new Nikon 1.8 primes outperform the old 35D without even breaking a sweat. Said 35D which I owned for a number of years is up to snuff on a ...

This latest H attempt is better, and somewhere in the ballpark of a D810 for delving into the bowels of a test chart.  But it is far from artifact free. The Foveon sensor starts to guess wrong ...

Right you are, and and some nice entries!

Thanks to Bob in Baltimore for selecting my Beacon Rock entry in Challenge 247.  Busy as I am, I didn't realize I had won until the Baltimore contingent rattled my cage.  Thank you for that, ...

It should be up by tomorrow morning :^)

I don't care for the squished ND grad look.  I prefer to take an extra bracket if need be and play with it in post.  If you've got a Nikon or a Sony, it's pretty painless :^)

If the wedding isn't close friends and family and you're getting paid for a good quality video, I would strongly recommend against any DSLR.   They suck as camcorders.  Make it easy on yourself ...

I recommend the Scott Kelby book. A chapter or two a day and you'll know everything you need to know in a couple of weeks.  Clicking around random videos on the internet is possible, but the book ...

Sarlat and its goose are merveilleux!

No, they absolutely don't have a factory seal, haven't in forever. I've got about ten Nikon boxes in the closet, not one with a seal inside or out. If there were a factory seal, none of these used ...

we can put the imaginary factory seal thing to bed now.  Sheesh!

That actually is wrong.  Their stock price has about doubled in the last year.  Sometimes it pays to look stuff up before posting.  At this point they have a virtual monopoly on bricks and mortar ...
