I'm sure glad some of these people are not my customers. I'd be inclined to offer them a swift money-back return if they promised to shop somewhere else in the future.

Thanks GWR100. I think they're bread mainly for their superior wool but a nice bit lamb goes down well :)


Merino wool is so superior to regular wool, back in the 1600s it was treason to take a live Merino out of Spain.

Looking for suggestions between these 2 models... Really like the built-in wifi feature of the 5300, but like the robustness of the 7100. I am also aware I can by the add on external wifi unit, but was simply looking for all in one.

Anyone know if there is a 7300 just around the corner about to be released?

I have the 5200 kit from Sam's Club and it's working well (and $100 cheaper now).

I am a booksetter and part time historian/genealogist. I set up using the Nikon iPhone app as a remote trigger with the WiFi adaptor on the D5200.

It worked beautifully!

That is the ONLY use for WiFi on today's cameras. If you start downloading you lose battery power similar in concept to flushing a toilet. Add that to the fact that it takes too long to transfer the pics.

Memory cards are cheap and easy to swap out.

As a booksetter, I don't always have the best quality files to work with. This source document, for instance, was available only on Facebook. Here, batch rename won't work since you must actually see the image in order to rename it.

Here's a rhythm I use on my Mac. I have a folder of files downloaded, and the names are garbage.

Prep: Sort file list by date, not name. (So the files won't move after renaming.) Click on the the topmost file to select it . . .

<space> — Opens the file in 'Quick Look'. Check the image for info.
<return> — Selects the file name, up to the suffix, for editing
Type in new name — In this case 'Page 140 Basketball'
<Return> — Accepts the changes (keeping the .jpg suffix)
<Down arrow> — Selects the next file, shows it in Quick Look

<Return>
Type in new name
<Return>
<Down arrow>

<Return>
Type in new name
<Return>
<Down arrow> . . . ad infinitum.

Example 1 — Folder of files, top item open in 'Quick Look'


Example 2 — Chosen item. <Return> selects filename up to suffix


Example 3 — Type in new (more descriptive) name.

When people routinely ENHANCE their photos through software and present it as their "photograph" and present themselves as a "photographer" without revealing the manipulation it just seems a little dishonest.


The word, "Craftsman" is better applied to woodworking.

I've been a printer for 60 years. I've been touching up photographs since the Charleston Gazette, taking a #2 pencil to an AP Wirephoto.

I draw your attention to my artist wife http://RitaReed.com

She IS an artist . . . in such a manner I could never equal.
But no picture of her paintings is published until I put it through Photoshop.
No photograph of mine will see the other side of my computer network until I put it through photoshop.

If you were to tell a woodworker the true craftsman refuses to use a wood plane. He would laugh at you.

She is the artist . . . I am the artisan.

So a photographer who manipulates his work in Photoshop is a Phartist.
. . . which makes me the Phartisan.

I would like to add my signature to photos. Is there a way to do this using aperture?

thanks for any help or advice.


If you don't have or don't want Photoshop or one of its pricey little brothers, this would be a good time to start learning their free blacksheep cousin, Gimp.

Scan in a signature, (best drawn big on regular paper with a heavy black Sharpie and reduced) neaten it up and save as a png or gif with a transparent background. Make sure this is a high resolution file.

Drag and drop your final Sig file onto the App, copy and paste as a layer over the image to be signed. Resize, and position your file. Save it as a layered file for your own use. Then export it — flattened — for distribution.

Good Luck,

A "Photographer" gets it right in-camera, an "Editor" tries to make it right in Photoshop.


A craftsman has more than one tool and knows how to use all of them.

In Charlotte, NC, a man useter drive round sellin fresh aigs.
(At least that's what it said on the side of his primer-colored pickup truck back in the 60s.)

Things have improved just a little. Now there's a nice Mexican gentleman who has a lunch truck. He asked a local to help him with a sign in English for his "Tacos de Piscado."

The result? "FIUSH TACOS".

By the way, "Hillbilly" is a five-syllable word here. (hi-yull-bi-yull-ee)

Potayto, potahto. I agree largely with Doyle Thomas but a painting or drawing is also an image. I'm more interested in how skillful it is.


Words have meaning. Even "Potato," in its pronunciation, conveys not only the meaning of a starchy tuber, but where the speaker was born and his socioeconomic / educational station in life.
