Keith, did you have the TS mounted on an R6? Thanks, Armando

Very nice video, Keith. You know how to explain and illustrate things. I have watched many of your videos on YouTube. I bought a 24mm TS lens once, and took great photos of facades, without ...

many thanks!! I will experiment with this method. So far I only play with the "contrast" slider, and the "shadow", "highlight" sliders. I will try this, Armando

Well, I was writing to you when you sent this. Thanks! Although I do have the Raw file for this picture. Can this be done to CR2/CR3 flies too? Thanks, Armando

Many thanks, MitchAlsup. I use DPP as my main software, and Photoshop only when really needed. I did not know I could adjust black and white points in DPP. I will research and learn this. In the ...

Thanks, Kristian, I am enjoying the lens quite a bit. One just needs to learn how to use it well. By the way, your images on your website are breathtaking. You are good at PP too. Blessings, Armando

Gracias, NikonHaoleboy. I will be careful when shooting backlit; thing is, sometimes is unavoidable. I will also sharpen my postprocessing skills. A lot can be done in PP to improve contrast. Saludos,

Hello! I am testing and learning to use my newly acquired EF 500mm f/4 IS II, which I purchased used. I found this hawk in a backlit position and I took a few shots. Then I walked around it in ...

It looks like you were working on a very interesting project. How did it go? Show us some pictures of your set-up and the pictures of your project. Thanks, Armando

Fantastic table. Thanks for sharing your hard work. I also enjoyed your pictures on flickr. Dankeschön, Armando

1DX4me, thanks for liking the shot. We have to be at the right time at the right place.... but we also have to be ready!! And it does not hurt if I know how to use the equipment. I will practice ...

Hi, Marco Nero, once again, your response is very informative and with lots of supporting pictures. Many thanks for taking the time. I am going to follow your advice. Since this is only a hobby, ...

Dear Marco Nero, Many thanks for your two posts here so far. Very informative, illustrated, and detailed. I own a 1.4x II extender, and I am trying to decide if I should upgrade to the version III. ...

Your use of the word specious was not "superficially plausible, but actually wrong." Well, this term "specious" was new to me, so I had to look it up. Good use of the English language, which is my ...

BirdShooter7, thanks for an answer with examples. Armando

I like this one too. The trail left by the water as the dog shakes is beautiful. Good job!
