Any suggestions or worthwhile resources for understanding light and how it impacts photography?

Bergen County Camera in Westwood, NJ. They are a family business that opened in 1980 and have survived in the backyard of the two big stores we all know in 'The Big Apple'.

Ask for Bob, Paul or John. But anyone of their Team can and will be very helpful. They actually have a focus session every Saturday morning at 9:30 for tips, tricks, photo topics, and discussion; with anywhere from 30 - 60 people attending. They care about your photography.

I don't think there are words that can comfort in a time of great loss. I think the words you choose help by offering support and showing you care. They can also be tools to accept the loss and offer strength going forward.

I believe that pain is the price we pay for happiness/joy/pleasure. Sometimes you get the happiness before the pain and sometimes after. I also believe they are proportionate and in balance. The more you love someone the harder the loss. When I reflect on my most painful loss', whether a parent or friend, I try to remind myself of the joy I experienced that allows this pain to exist. Then I try to smile and tell myself 'it was worthwhile' and 'I am lucky' and a better person because of the experience. I say 'try', as it is not easy and works logically, not emotionally.

In this instance, being a rescue dog, the pain came before the joy for their four-legged family member. Your son and wife experienced the joy first. It can be all summed up in a simple question, maybe two. Was it worth it? Would you do it again? And follow up with ... in your words ... the pain you are feeling now is equal to the joy you gave your four-legged friend.

It is hard to know what to say, but say something. As the exact words will likely be forgotten, but your presence and compassion will not.

I hope this helps.

While there, take a look at Steve's book 'Secrets To The Nikon Autofocus System' and give some serious consideration to purchasing a copy (should you choose Nikon). I did, on advice from other UHH'ers, and have been very happy. It is easy to understand, has a logical conversational flow (building on a foundation) and if you watch any of his videos you too may hear his voice as you read the book.

Both are nice, but I prefer no 1.

very nice

[quote=Photocraig]Ok guys, I get that there is a great powerful "Catalog" function called Lightroom.... around the catalog for 3 years and I STILL can't find stuff......


When troubleshooting, I try to start with the simple things first. For example: when the answering machine isn't working, check to make sure it is plugged in before taking it apart. Using that approach, look to see if you moved pictures to different folders or renamed the folders outside of Lightroom; possibly with Explorer or Finder. Once you "ADD" files to Lightroom, any changes to the file/folder structure needs to be facilitated in Lightroom, otherwise Lightroom will be looking in the wrong location when called upon to view or modify the file/pic. I recently learned that the hard way when renaming folders.
