Bob, Bob,
Appreciate the feedback. It's not an element I use often but occasionally I will pull it out of the tool box, dust it off and see how it looks.

I will use a vignette often as a way of directing the eye, but rarely use a frame, such as can be created
in LR. This picture seems to work with a frame - opinions? Do you use this technique?

Nicely done Bob. What is Sabatier - a nice bottle of red wine? Is it a texture?

Thanks for sharing your process. I've purchase some videos from Blake and always have found them useful and educational.

Nice colors. I could imagine a jewelry maker making a pin using the beautiful colors on the butterfly.

Remember when someone compliments you on a job well done, just nod your head and say
"Thank you". Only you know what you set out to do and how much effort it took to produce your result.

Nice job Bob.

Nice. I'm always amazed at IR produces!

It certain is peaceful and sleeping. I could also see this photo being represented with a minimum of pencil lines. We all need peace in this stressful time.

Thanks for the compliments. It was a gift that I'll always remember.

This afternoon I went out to power-wash the deck. As soon as I turned on the washer, this beautiful baby deer appeared from under the deck. What a beautiful sight to remind us of the beauty that exists at all times. Later there was a happy reunion as the mother returned to nurse her baby.. As I processed these photos I realized these were a gift to me that I wanted to share.
Be Well Everyone🙏

Long time Nikon shooter who purchase a used Leica Q a few months and now I'm hooked! Plus carrying a heavy backpack with all my gear is getting old--like me. So I just packed up all my gear and planning on trading it all in to Adorama this weekend for purchase of a Leica cl and a lens. Unless they were BSing me on the phone they made me a decent offer over. But if any Hogs are interested please let me know. I can get more info, but right now don't have a series of pictures for the items, that's why you trade stuff in - it's easier.

But if interested I can shoot some photos. All gear is in excellent shape - well cared for , smoke free home, no pets, amateur photographer. The D800 is well used, but in perfect shape, shows some wear on the bottom by the corners. All equipment has all accessories, boxes, chargers, batteries and manuals. D800 is missing the body cap - it's always had a lens on it, didn't know it was missing until now. Looked at Ebay, got some ideas of prices All prices are ASKING. Other notes below:

Nikon D800 - missing body cap - have all else. $750. If full price paid will include Nikon 50mm f4 lens.

Nikkor AFS 70-200mm f/4 - $600

Nikkor 16-35mm f4 - $400

Nikon 24-120 f4 no box $400

Nikon 105mm Macro f/2.8 - $400

Let me know if any interest. I've bought and sold items in this forum and gained a lot of knowledge from its members. I've also listed a Lumix-FZ-2500 ($700) for sale in another listing in this site. Thanks all. Will ship only to U.S. Will pay for shipping. Open to offer of entire nikon items.

Just purchased the camera above, lightly used, and looking for help with playback problem. I take a photo, fine, RAW format. I can see the photo in the LCD and the EVF. I click on the LAST button that takes me to the RAW convert function, and the LCD goes dark. Everything is OK in the electric viewfinder. I've gone through all the pertinent settings, spent time in google search - can't find anything.

Any ideas?

Thanks
