Wow, my question would be how you choose the best shots when you take 6,000 photos in one studio shoot? How do you differentiate between what must be hundreds of similar shots?

It's still available.

I like Luminar and have been using it from the beginning. But 4, wow, I'm having a lot of buggy problems with it; way more than version 3. It's super slow - even the latest upgrade - and sometimes doesn't open at all (I use it as a Lightroom plug-in). I've been extremely disappointed.

I love the Photographer's Market books, but I don't think one has been published since 2018

I've used the Luminar/Skylum products as a plug-in for Lightroom (and before that Aperture) for a while now and generally like it for what I use it for. Though I can't figure out the difference between Luminar 4 and Flex!

thanks. This is a sudden problem that occurred once 2020 hit and only on my MacBook. My library is large, around 90,000 images.

I keep my Lightroom photo catalog and masters on an external hard drive (with lots of backup). On my main iMac, there's no problem working on photos, but when I move the hard drive to my MacBook - never a problem before - I'm suddenly getting the dreaded missing photos message in Develop mode for my entire library and can't figure out how to bring them back. Anyone tackle this problem?

During one of the first years I was a photographer, I was shooting a college basketball game in one of the worst lighted gyms imaginable, alongside a very experienced colleague I had known for years from when I was a writer only. Afterwards, he made it a point to chide me -- the only advice he gave me that day -- to stop looking at my camera because I was going to miss shots. I didn't really press him on this and didn't even realize until later that some people really look down on the practice. I still don't quite understand why so many think it makes you look unprofessional, especially in bad light or changing situations, but yes, many do.

my main concern is an extensive web page I developed several years ago in iWeb that I will no longer be able to update if I use Catalina.

Beautiful! Where "Summer of '42" was filmed . . .

thanks for your help. I shipped it off to Costa Mesa

Wondering if anyone can help with a problem I'm having shooting sports with my three-year old Canon 70-200 2.8 II. The lens has always underperformed a little, I've thought, but recently it's gotten worse and I can't figure out why. I've gone so far as to rent the same lens and shoot it alongside my version at a recent Sacramento River Cats game (no problems with the rented version). The two photos here are from my lens and the first one shows what's happening on a good number - but not all - of the shots. The second shot is with the lens and with a 1.4x extender, so sometimes focus is fine. Should I get it calibrated? Serviced? Only problems I'm having, and with my two main cameras, the Canon 1DX and 5D Mark IV, are only with this lens. A non-IS 300mm 2.8 is super sharp with no problems. I've tried turning IS on and off on the 70-200 and the problem is same. At one point I thought a loose UV filter that I couldn't take off might be the problem, so I replaced it and focus seems to be better on stationary objects, but not moving. Thanks for any help!
