I've tried that plus most of the ones out there, but Lightroom is my DAM and it would sure be convenient to just work on the NEF not a converted TIF.  I like Vuescan by the way, sometimes it works ...

Thanks John and Jack. I'm surprised it is hard to put the file back together, but will take your word for it. The bigger issue is if the resulted inversion, when run through ACR, has enough color ...

If you have a raw image, say a typical NEF from a common Nikon (say my D800), is it possible to convert that file to another NEF containing basically the same data, but with the colors inverted? Ba ...

I was surprised (did this on a D5 which should work more or less like a D850) that the file names changed.  DD5_7110.NEF in my case became DD5_7111.JPG.  I expected it to have the same name.  It ...

Not bad after a long delay, but I would wager on just being out of practice.  I shoot a lot of D1 college soccer, and each season it takes a game (at least) to get back into it in terms of timing, ...

Nikon USA has a parts store online which is erratic in availability but worth checking; not sure if there is a UK variant. https://parts.nikonusa.com The problem is telling which of the dozen or so ...

The Nikon D5 has it, I use it regularly.  It comes in two flavors, one will tell you if there is flicker, one will slightly delay the shutter release to hit at the peak. I did some experimenting ...

Soccer in Florida keeps playing except for lightning, generally. I can't compete with the low temperatures, but here it's so humid when Soccer starts that some nights it's unclear whether it is ...

Just to clarify the rationale for the mechanics... Are you trying to identify the participants so as to limit access for a given person only to their athletes?   As opposed to providing a gallery ...

I don't have a D500, but a friend I shoot with does. Or did. He had a D4 and D500, and stopped using the D500 and bought a D5. He just wasn't getting the results he wanted with the D500. FWIW, one ...

There's a reason why at field sports you see all those identical size lenses on the sidelines.  The 400/2.8 is a sweet spot.  Plus for daylight you can get 560mm or 800mm pretty easily (the latter ...

Same: Monopod or something else. On the "Something else" front, there are lots of things a budding sports photographer may not have, though some are more personal choices. - Variety of camera bags, ...

Your question would be better if you thought about it a bit more first. Of course "All" of the images are neither one, there is a huge spectrum of processing. "All" of the images you see, even ...

I don't do this for a living so take it with a grain of salt but as a parent... I think your presumption may be misplaced.  My kid always wanted to be in group photos, never asked if we were buying ...

I'm also a big fan of that lens, the zoom range is great.  Can't compare to others you mentioned but I have a lot of much more expensive glass and its sharpness and contrast compare very well.  On ...

How about some idea of what makes this different/better than the current alternatives? Not meaning that in any way as a shot or complaint, but a real question -- There are a couple good ...

You've got a tough view looking up from the floor toward the basket with the white ceiling and bright lights.  Those first two are nice shots, but are really strongly back lit and especially with ...

+1 Changing to PhotoMechanic cut my culling time down dramatically.  Previously I used lightroom, and there is nothing I need in PhotoMechanic that Lightroom could not do -- except speed.  LR is ...

The issue is the "nearly"; really one shouldn't have a wife or husband, and an expensive hobby at the same time. Thank you. Yes, it does a nice job. That lens also does nice up-close sportraits: An ...

One stop less, it's F2 @ 1250, F2.8 @ 2500.  But it is nicely bright. It was a real cave until they upgraded to LED lights.
