NOT An Authorized Dealer, is a key indicator to buy elsewhere.

Good thing I only eat mechanically separated and pressed chicken "meat".

That cannot be real. :barf:

It is not about how to back up. It is Adobe telling you how to move your files from your computer to a portable USB drive. Its a very important process you should watch BEFORE you start mucking about moving files.

Lightroom is a very sensitive database program that requires you to move everything having to with Lightroom, while you are working inside of Lightroom. If you dont, you are going to cause some hilarious problems.

What you have is a Nikon EM film body with a E Series 50mm Lens. It will fit on any Digital Nikon body but with some limitations.

On all entry level, It will not meter.

On all Mid level bodies (D7000, D7100, D90, D80, D70, D300, D200, D100) It will meter and try to focus confirm (its hit and miss depending on which of the above cameras is used).

Pro bodies it will meter and give you a focus confirm dot as well.

There is a demand for them but its not like winning the lottery. You may get better value trading that in to B&H or Adorama towards something new or you can sell it for a few bux. Ebay and KEH are both great places to compare prices. A few have sold locally for about 40-100bux depending on condition and included accessories.

The 50mm E is a good lens. I see them getting bought for people who want to have an inexpensive good lens to adapt to their Mirrorless cameras.

DO NOT move your folders OUTSIDE of lightroom. Move them inside of Lightroom. A video to explain how and why.

This probably truer than most will admit.

The Canon M is going away. Canon and Nikon are playing catch up to the mirrorless marketplace. The M didnt perform well in the USA where Panasonic, Olympus and Fuji both have a foothold.

It is a shame too. I played with an M a friend got for 200bux firesale at the local shop with 20mm lens. Its very nice. Shame that Canon seems to want to be quiet in the mirrorless game, at least here in the USA.

Well some people like that melty chemical cheese. Little known fact: you can put a wick in velveeta and turn it into a candle.

11x14 view camera for palladium process landscapes.

Serious question:

What is it exactly about RAW that one needs that cannot be done utilizing skill and proper camera operations? What about the Zone system, using different metering methods, using EV adjustments or just stopping down for the desired exposure instead of relying solely on a file format?

Do you use RAW as a crutch to ignore proper technique? Do you use RAW because everyone told you to? Do you need to push or pull your light that much for a desired effect that you couldnt do by dropping or upping your exposures values in camera?

I see a lot of technical reasons not to use JPG but few that are real world reasons.

I find that in my experiences, when getting the intended exposure right, i rarely need to move sliders around in Lightroom.

Its what makes the superbowl party. Its fake "cheese". The Superbowl is what our american handegg football players call, a championship game. Like your EPL final but with a handegg.

Go ahead and dump 10k on a 600mm F4. Your wife will thank you.

I am pretty sure this is due to Obama giving money to extend NASA and the ISS operation to 2024. Money that could go to our troops and boarder patrols.

Feels like this is forced too much. The scene was already bland and no amount of PP will fix that. Go back and re-shoot it, except think about different angles and light.

Tighter crop would have been more beneficial than the wide one you elected. Dont crop in post, crop by moving closer or using a zoom lens to pull it towards you.

The car seat kills this image and removes focus from what you wanted us to look at.
