Storm brewing on Singer Island, Florida

Shot outside a friend's condo. As you can probably guess, it rained quite a bit shortly after this image was taken.

NX2 - R.I.P.

Hi Charles,

Is this just for the D810 or is NX D for all Nikon digital cameras? I was just on the support web site and didn't see anything about it:

If you leave it as a horizontal and try working on the fence, you'll lose the bottoms of the trees. I think losing that would be a detriment. So you'd have to be VERY good at cloning. The tent definitely needs to go. I like the vertical version that someone posted, and I think it shows the image you wanted perhaps.

I agree...the horizontal image does look better and it removes the distractions I was talking about.

Not a bad idea, I just darkened it a little bit

How did you accomplish that? I have PS Elements that came with my PC and Nikon View NX2 that came with my camera.

To me it does, the fence not so much, but the tent definitely.

Thanks...does this work better?

Just wondering...does the yellow tent extending from the lower left of the frame or the piece of fencing at the very bottom right cause distractions?

In short, postings by Snopes can be verified and none have been shown to be anything but factual.
Even Snopes competitors (Truth or Fiction, Fact Check, etc)have come to their defense.

Fair enough...thanks. I have visited SNOPES in the past and I just got to wondering who's checking the facts of the fact checkers?

Sorry...I wasn't very clear. I didn't mean just for this instance, but rather in general -- how do we know SNOPES is factual?

As usual, something gets posted without being verified. This is certainly an interesting philosophical discussion, but Einstein never said a word of this. Someone made it up and attached his name to it to make it sound authentic.

Just curious...who verifies the information on SNOPES? How do we know it's factual?
