Beautiful colors. I don't mind silky water at all. Very well processed, except maybe the sky/mountain interface is a bit too "hard." I'm not sold on the vertical orientation (yet.) My eye wants to ...

Are you planning on doing a single row or multi-row? I only do single row (for now) and I use a Benro PC-1 pano clamp, MPB-20 rail, and RRS L-bracket, on top of my ballheads.

shifting a tilt/shift lens to create a single row, horizontal pano will still give you stitching errors if: a: you look hard enough b: shoot interiors with lots of lines I've tested it myself ...

SF has the nicest people I have ever met in my travels. In fact, I have never felt unsafe in the US, and I frequently travel alone. SF, Cleveland, DC, Seattle, various national parks, New ...

Good advice. And in addition: While in Live View, zoom in to really see the vibrations. You learn to appreciate dampening real quick. If you know your camera + long lens takes 6 sec to calm down ...

I'm sure they didn't do it just for poops and giggles. I'd like to think that any competent company, including Nikon, has to juggle numerous priorities in order to bring a product to market. Maybe ...

Thanks for sharing. Learning masking and layers in PS CS6 is something that been in the back of my mind for a long time. I have the books and videos to learn it but haven't mustered up the ...

I figured that. I'm sure hope the Elite is better, for Datacolor's sake. I understand the business reason for creating a cheaper option. But for my computer, using Apple's default color profile is ...

I just want to offer another opinion, which may or may not be useful to you. I had a Spyder Express 3 and 4, and in the years that I've owned it, I could not get my Macbook Pro Retina 15" to look ...

Only 8lbs? At 8.2lbs, it is very heavy for a bag that size. And how much rolling will you do anyway, to offset the weight penalty and shallower depth, compared to the Streetwalker Pro? Any hike is ...

Just get a dedicated L-Bracket and be done with it. If you're serious about using your tripod, and plan to keep your body for some time, you won't regret it.

I often wonder if people really appreciate what they are seeing. Or do they just go because it's famous? What's the point of going if all you're gonna do is step off the air conditioned tour bus, ...

I slide my filters into the holder with the holder off the lens . It only takes a sec to take the holder off the adapter ring and I feel I have more control when it's closer to my body and I can ...

Nisi V5 with integrated Circular Polarizer for 100mm system. Haida 150mm holder for my 14-24mm. Neither system leaks lights even up to 13 stops (10 + 3 stop filters stacked.) 20mm is the widest ...

I too have nothing bad to say about Haida. I have their 10stop glass filters in 150mm and 100mm, and the slightly warm cast (if you can even call it that) is a non-issue. I shoot RAW and I'm ...

I kinda like the idea. The further I get into this hobby, the more I am making images instead of taking pictures. I've thought about bringing only an 8G SD card for a week long photography trip...

Do it once. Do it right. I prefer a dedicated L-Bracket with a raised lip on bottom to conform to the body to prevent accidental rotation. Since I live on a tripod, I consider a L-Bracket to be a...

Wanting "innovation" simply means wanting some novelty to justify another cycle of upgrade. It's a excuse to spend money.

Nikon FF mirrorless will not be that much smaller than what we currently have. People much more knowledgeable than I have already explained this in other threads. Unless they somehow advance ...
