Hi jsfphotos

I "share/show" pictures (assuming a Windows computer) during a Zoom call as follows:

1. If you are the host, you are ready to go. If you are not the host, the host/moderator will have to "spotlight" you or temporarily assign you co-host capabilities.
2. Open the directory with the pictures inside. I do this before the call so I can easily see the little box at the bottom of my computer screen.
3. When it's time to show the pictures, click the green icon at the bottom of the screen that says "Share Screen." When that window opens, select your picture folder or individual picture, and click the "share" button at the bottom right of the screen. I change the picture using the arrow key but you may have another method that works for you. NOTE: If you want to "show" a video clip rather than a picture, be sure to click the two boxes at the bottom of the share screen that mentions "audio options" before clicking the share button - only do so if you want to share the video's audio.
4. When you are done with your picture presentation, click the red "stop share" button near the top of the screen.

Good luck!

Hi Curmudgeon,
I have and use several Nissin flashes. They have always done a good job for me. Here is an option from eBay you might consider: https://www.ebay.com/itm/REFURBISHED-Nissin-MF18-Ring-Light-Macro-Flash-for-NIKON/174693653673?epid=113000652&hash=item28ac8d9ca9:g:04EAAOSw2gJgVS~V. Take care & ...

Hi Curmudgeon,

A couple of years ago I retired as a magazine editor. After several months, I discovered it hadn't used the subscription PS/LR more than a couple of times. I switched to Bridge with PSE and I've been very pleased with them. I still do some magazine work and I find they more-than-serve my needs. Take care & ...

Hi group,

You've already gotten some good information. My wife and I write for numerous outdoor magazines and spent 10 years as editors for one of those publications. Most magazines have lists of author guidelines that are available upon request or can be downloaded from their website. Therein you'll find their expectations regarding copy and photography. If you plan to submit a story/pictures without contacting the editor, be certain to double space the copy and submit 11" x 14" @ 300 PPI jpg files. By so doing, you may actually get the piece looked at but unsolicited "pieces" all too often get the "boot" in favor of manuscripts the magazine has negotiated the content in advance. Editors like the picture size (at least we did) because it gives them the option of using part of it cropped or as double-page background with text positioned as an overlay.This all gets decided when the content reaches the art director's workstation. The bottom line is it's a good idea to work with the editor so you both know what to expect. Take care & ...

Hi Jerry,

We do online Zoom training as part of our business so I can speak with a little experience regarding this answer. The ink is up to the person scheduling the session; the Zoom program allows the scheduler (owner of the account) to select a "repeating" link or a new link for each session. We keep the same link for repeat sessions/groups and use "single time" links for one-of meetings. BUT the Zoom program allows us to use either type of link. The 40-minute segments are with the free Zoom accounts. I've not used one of them in so long I don't remember how it works so I can't give a accurate answer. Take care & ...

Hi Carol,
I love your pictures. Two questions: Did you use the D500 for them and what is the flower in picture number 3? I don't recognize it OR it's not one that grows in Idaho. Take care & ...

Hi group,
I'm with chase4. I love my Nikkor 28-200 mm f/3.5-5.6 G ED. It's an older lens that can be had for $80 - $250 on eBay. I keep one on my grab-n-go camera which is currently a D7100 but it also spends a lot of time on my D700 and D750 FF cameras as well. It's sharp and focuses to 18" all through the zoom range. I love it for much of my larger-size-flowers photography. Take care & ...

Hi group,
I was one of those kids who started school in the 40s when there were no left-handed people (at least in my school). I'm with some of the other people in the group - right-handed for "learned" skills and left-handed for most of the other "self-taught skills" like opening a jar of pickles or ??? however I do swing a hammer as a righty as learned from my dad. Take care & ...

Hi Mike,
How would you compare the P1000 to the RX10M4? Picture quality? Focus? Take care & ...

Hi quixdraw,
Darn! I've sure been enjoying your new (old) camera through your eyes and posts. I have to admit I've taken a look at eBay just to see what a D2X would cost me. I really tempted but will fight off the urge. <GRN> Take care & ...

Hi All,
Maybe the "lockdown" is good. Crazy thought: Look how much money you are not spending by not pay for hotel/motels, gas, travel, etc. you would normally do but couldn't do over the last several months. You could invest in more/better equipment to use when you can again start visiting "places." I said it was a crazy thought! Take care & ...
