New DSLR / Old Flash Question
kb6kgx wrote:
Just received a new — for me, that is; actually a “refurb” — Nikon D7100. I have an older Sunpak 555 flash unit that I used with my FE2. Is there any way — any way at all — that the Sunpak would work with the D7100? I’ve received answers, in the past, anywhere from “No, not at all” to “Yes, but…” . So, what is the REAL answer? Will it work or should I just fuggedaboutit and just get a new one?


I have several old Sunpak flashes that I use with radio flash triggers that have pass through hot shoes. Although they work on camera with the trigger mounted between the camera and flash I use them mostly as remotes.

Unless you use multiple flashes its probably not worth spending the money for the triggers since there are flashes available for about the same cost.

There are safety devices that mount between the camera and flash that are supposed trigger the flash safely. Tried one and it didn't fire my Sunpaks.

Catalog Feature In Lightroom CC
"By default, LR is set up to do a lot of things automatically..."

Some people just don't get it. I wish they stop trying to force their preferences on others.

Catalog Feature In Lightroom CC
Thanks to everyone that took the time to explain. I have looked at some of the training videos and I think I will stick to my current methods at least for now.

I use a card reader and drop the 810/800E folder onto the desk top. I'll review and cull in View NX2.

I can convert or edit but prefer Capture NX2, NX-D or CS6. I convert to tiff or jpg depending how much PP I want and save in a separate folder. I can switch quickly from one to the other. The finished image is saved as jpg. Some minor tweaks are done in Photo at times.

The raw, tiff and rough jpg are deleted. I'll save the finished file on one SDD in an appropriate category folder (the other SSD is for programs) and back up to the external HD.

I rarely shoot more than 100 images at a time and process a fraction eliminating the duplicates and oofs.

This all goes fairly quick since I know the programs well enough and know what features I want.

Catalog Feature In Lightroom CC
Gene51 wrote:
I wanted to add, that the file structure I had in place since 2000 is still what I use - the LR catalog gives you the choice to move your files into a default location, or leave everything where it is and merely add the filenames and folders to the catalog, or create locations on the fly. In my case I use the second and third methods.

When I have a few images to import - usually around 100 or so, I will open the Library module, select import, and designate exactly where I want the files to go. I use a descriptive folder name which is organized by shoot and month, then by year, in a parent folder of just pictures. I can quickly browse the files in Bridge, FastStone, On1 or just show thumbnails in Windows Explorer. If I have an event which often has more than 500 images, I will copy the images to my computer into new folders named and located according to my legacy organization scheme, and use Faststone to preview and cull - Lightroom is too slow for my needs, and Faststone and On1 are considerably faster. Now that On1's browser has "grown up" it is extremely fast, provides tagging and rating that LR recognizes, and it lets you see 1:1 high quality previews. Once I have all the images I want and they are rated, keyworded and tagged, I tell LR to import (into the catalog), using the "Add" option (without moving the files). This way I keep all the functionality of the LR catalog, and I can copy the files to the computer/cull/rate/tag/keyword without missing a beat. It is not uncommon for me to do an event, come back with 800 images, and have proof quality images on the client section of my website 2-3 hours after the event.

Thanks Gene.

bsprague (very 1st reply) provided the answer to this question.

All the other posts have suggested you learn to use the catalog. Because people think it is easier that way.

But no, you don't have to use the LR catalog. There are people here on UHH who use LR without using the catalog.

Question for you, do you have the CC subscription of Lightroom or the stand alone version? Because you have Photoshop if you have the CC subscription.

Photoshop does not utilize a catalog feature. It would fit right into your workflow.

Thanks for the response. As I mentioned earlier I use CS6. What would the CC version provide that I don't have now.

Why Do People Use Phone Cameras
Pixelpusher wrote:
One more perspective on this:

Cameras are just tools ( to make pictures)
There are expensive quality tools and cheap tools
SOMETIMES A DOLLAR STORE SCREWDRIVER WILL DO THE JOB.

I shoot top of the line Nikon BUT have a Blue Ribbon winning 16 X 20 inch Print taken with my cell phone to prove it

But I wouldn't take my cell phone out to shoot flying birds or a wedding.

Use the right tool for the right job
