Also, try reinstalling the AI plug-in and then restarting.

This may sound simple minded, but have you tried closing PSE and then shutting down and restarting your computer?

Some of these require four wheel drive with good clearance. The City, or the county or the State has quit maintaining Schnebly Hill Rd, to let the tour companies control it. I used to be able to drive from I-17 down Schnebly Hill Rd to Sedona in my Ghia, but no more.
I agree, Schnebly is a road in name only! We did it in a 4x4 Ford Explorer. The view of the valley is worth the adventure. There are Jeep tours that will take you up there. I titled this image, "The Heart of Sedona." The foreground is the road!

Hi Robinbiorra. Before you decide, be sure to check out previously owned cameras on sites such as B&H or Adorama. You may find one of those higher end body's at a price you can afford. However, the D700 would be a significant upgrade from your D7100!

I usually shot street photography and events. I have used Hoya UV filters for my 77mm lens. I am going from77mm to 82mm and would appreciate any recommendations. I heard not to go too cheap yet I need to keep a budget... "want best bang for my buck".
Thanks,

Thanks,

I keep a CPL on all my lenses. They perform the same protection function as a UV filter. But, a CPL saturates color, can make clouds pop against a dark sky and work to reduce hot spots on shiny skin. I do remove it for low light conditions. They do cost more than a clear filter, but as long as you're spending money you might as well get a filter that does something!

I believe that Bryan Peterson introduced the exposure triangle. He makes a reference to developing the idea in his photography classes in his book "Understanding Exposure."

I thought digital sensors were 24x36 which is film size as well and has been for several decades.
Yes that is not 8X10 but it is not something unique to digital.

Hi Architetct1776, 24x36 is a 2:3 ratio. It is similar to the frame size of a 35mm. I like to get prints and frames that match my photographs, not the other way round.

Frame manufactures are still stuck in the film era. None of the standard frames match the 2:3 ratio of our digital sensors, which means cropping is required. Look for frames that match that ratio (4x6,10x15,12x18, or 20x30). Occasionally I find 12x18 frames at JoAnn's.

Hi WDcash, someone may have posted this, but I didn't have time to read all 16 pages (so far). Film speed is called ASA. For the average photographer outdoor film was around ASA 100. Indoor was usually around 400. For special types of photography, ASA 1000 was available also. For people shooting film, the ASA was fixed and could not be changes in the camera, unlike ISO.

I have puzzled over the same issue. I have the Zfc. It is physically smaller than my D500. That camera body has room on the back for my thumb, but the Z does not. So this is probably what is happening. When you turn your camera to look at the image on the Z50 your thumb naturally ends up pressing on the multi selector, which changes the focus point without you realizing why. To my knowledge there is no way to lock out the multi-selector, so just try to keep your thumb of off of it. It turns out to be a real challenge if your hands are larger like mine. It took me months to figure out what was happening. It still happens, but now I know why!

Have you tried light painting the foreground? Set a several second delay for the shutter, expose for the moon and then use a strong flashlight to paint the trees.

Very zen! I get it. A student says "Master, if all may be reduced to one, what can the one be reduced to?" The Master reply's, "I went to the market yesterday and bought a new coat!"

I happen to be a Nikon shooter. Any midrange to flagship camera body from a name brand manufacturer will produce quality images. Fanboys of one brand or other think their choice produces the best images! But here's the challenge, look at a group of photographic prints, and tell me which camera body/lens combination was used. Good luck on getting any right!

Interesting, the silver bodies were aimed at the amateur market. Most guys wanted the black version, which, in my honest opinion, looked the best. After all, aren't all Nikon professional camera's manufactured today black.

I have a Zfc with the silver body. I get a ton of comments and compliments on the appearance of it, especially from my fellow photographers. The most common question is, "Are you shooting film?" Which gives me a socializing moment to talk to someone I haven't, usually, met before, about my cool looking camera. That's fun. So, if it's available, I would go for the silver body. What's the point of having a retro looking camera if it doesn't look retro?

I watched and read some reviews of the new Nikon Zf, and the reviewers gushed over it. Nikon seems to have come up with another winner. With the Z8 and Z6 II, I'm all set for the foreseeable future. However, if they ever introduce one with a silver body...
