3 shots disappeared in LR CC2015 - Trying to get them back is driving me nuts.

Make a copy of them in Explorer, change the name of the copies, then import to LR, is a quick fix.

A friend sent me an email with some of this man's work, I was amazed at the detail in it. The photos looked so real I thought it was an actual town with old cars. If you have the time check him out:

Trouble downloading memory card

You should be using File Explorer, not (IE7) Internet Explorer.

I have IE7. The past couple days when I try to download my memory card to my laptop, it wants to download the entire card, not just the last pictures I have taken. This is happening no matter which camera I use. Anyone know a solution?

Trashed my PRO100 finally

I learned this trick from a printer repairman. To unclog difficult printer nozzles use a Clorox bathroom wipe that contains ammonia. Fold a strip that will fit under the print head carriage and let it sit for a few minutes, remove it and run a head cleaning routine.

Flash Extenders

I like to tinker so I bought a 7x10 Fresnel off eBay and done some focus tests to see what distance from the flash to the lens was required and made my box out of light weight coroplast. Works great, it will focus the flash beam on a 4' x 4' area at 100 feet.

Vello Battery Grips.

The Meike brand for the 7DmkII works good and comes with a remote controller. Around $120 on eBay last I saw. (Edited) Just looked, $80 now, I bought mine several months ago.

Lovely lady, super shot! Really like the softness of the skin and sharp eyes.

Ok, I guess everything with a face resembles somebody. Every now and then one of my carvings will look like a friend or relative, maybe a subconcience derivation.

Sorry 'bout the double post, doing this from a phone keypad.

Oh my, you sure carve well. And take good pictures, too! The lighting brightness and placement is just right to bring out the texture in the carving. Great!

Thanks Chuckster, key light from 30" softbox, a small gridded snoot, a white bounce card and ambient from window.
