I would just like to thank everyone here (plus lacogada and Scott who tried to remain anonymous) for the wonderful contributions. The results far exceeded my expectations and I can tell you I had ...

Hi Ray, I was hoping you would find time to participate and you have not disappointed - a beautiful rendering as always. Many, many thanks. Roy PS. I made it back to NW England in July with my ...

I like them both Grant, but especially the second one. Many thanks.

Excellent Grant (I'd forgotten I have Painter Lite) and again the type of look I was thinking of. I am going to be spoiled for choice and will probably give him several printed versions so he can ...

Thank you so much Patsy, wonderful work as usual and yes that was the type of look I was thinking of. I am going to have to put in some time to learn this technique (I would think this is also ...

I don't come here often these days as I have become a little obsessed with bird photography of late. However, on my nature walks I often bump into an older gentleman (even older than me) with his ...

Great advice. I bought a D600, I think Cdn$2300, in September 2012 (to replace my trusty D80) and used it with 80s manual lenses for a 10,000km trip around the western USA - I was amazed by the ...

I haven't used Elements for many years so can't answer the plug-in aspect, but it doesn't really matter if you have just the occasional high ISO image. Just open the specific raw file in the PL2 ...

No need to learn the s/w, although it is a good program. I typically import into LR and send very noisy shots to PL2 just to apply Prime (and lens corrections if required) and then back to LR for  ...

The good news - they are very friendly, the bad news - they don't stay in one place for long. Caught this one before two feet of snow arrived this week (it should not be around at this time of year ...

Interesting that the refurbished D7200, just below in the B&H listings is $694, more than it's replacement. I have both (and like both) but feel the D7200 may be the best "enthusiast" DSLR Nikon ...

Much appreciated. Kazmarov guided me to the missing setting change. I have been using BBF for many, many years (just a while since I had done an initial setup) and not sure I could live without it. ...

Many thanks. It was the a4 setting (a6 on D7500) that I missed.

I thought I had set up my newly acquired D7500 to match my D7200 but noticed a problem today. I was shooting Warblers in heavy tree cover so focusing with the BB and then recomposing. However the ...

I have to disable my firewall for updates with Topaz products.

Excellent work as always, Patsy. I would not normally get involved but this seems like a very special image. The OP requested if possible an emphasis on the child on the left and I suspect you ...

Very good point and clearly explained. Yes, I use U1/U2 settings most of the time and have now saved my new file names to each. I can't believe I covered all these bases when I changed file names ...

Thanks Mako. I have done the d6 reset and will see if my _722 name will stick now (I have taken a photo and then turned off the camera several times and it seems to be OK so far). If not I will try ...

Good thought - however I use the second card for jpeg backups so it should not be a factor - famous last words!! Just had a quick look at my pdf manual and seems to be very basic info on this ...

Thanks Tom - much appreciated. Sounds like I missed the d6 step (don't remember this from the previous reset but my memory is not the best). I always do a reformat after a card download so not this. ...
