Shooting jpeg and raw simultaneously
Lightroom will choose the raw files as it sees the jpeg as already done. If you want to process the jpeg files, copy the jpeg files to a separate file on your computer, then load that file into Lightroom.

Nikon own brand Batteries vs cheaper altrnatives
I have found that Nikon brand batteries last much longer than off brands. That being said, I would suggest that you buy one of the off brands and one Nikon brand, then rotate the usage and test for your own satisfaction.

Backing up my large collection of photos
It is old school, but reliable, I copy my raw photos to DVDs. This is a secondary backup, the photos are also backed up UN external hard drives. If you can afford them, the external SSD drives are most reliable.

Street and People Photography
"Street Photography" should be random and spontaneous shots, such as the first two. The third photo is more portrait photography. As well as random and spontaneous, street photography is also largely, but not entirely, black and white. It is not necessary, but should be in the mix.

Hello, I own a canon sis rebel T7 and would like to know what the best all in one daily driver Lense would be. I only want to carry around one Lense and I have a budget of around $175. Does anyone have any ideas? Thanks!


If your budget is that tight, just use your cell phone. Lenses are hard to find in that price range.

Tears of Joy - processing suggestions for LR?
I am sorry, but as much as it is out of focus, I would leave it as is. Cropping will just magnify the focus problem.

32 Megabyte
TonyRam wrote:
A friend of mine asked a question regarding Digital Cameras, "Why 32 Megabyte?" he was referring to Sensors?

This morning I read about Sony's 61 Mb Sensor Camera to be released this Fall.

Your Comments Please.


It is mega pixel, not megabyte. The higher mega pixel will give more detail to a raw file and is designed to give a better photograph, especially if you want to make larger prints. The down side is that you need to be a better photographer in order to take advantage of the higher mega pixels. It is a vicious circle.

Camera or lens upgrade?
grahamfourth wrote:
I use a Nikon D7200 and a 70-300mm AF-S lens for wildlife photography, especially BIF. The results have been fair at best, as either focus is not achieved quickly enough, or the background, not the bird, is selected as the focal point. I can either upgrade the camera or the lens, but I don’t have the money to do both. It seems like my best option is either moving up to a D500 or a 300mm f/4 PF. I have done much research on both, but real-world experience from more experienced photographers is always invaluable. Can anyone recommend the lens or the camera as the next logical upgrade? Thank you in advance.

The D500 is an excellent choice, I would choose the camera for now.

Video or photographs?
JackGriffin wrote:
I'm taking an Alaskan trip later this month and intend to do some whale watching. My D3400 takes excellent pictures AND excellent video. Problem is it can't do it simultaneously. In this once-in-a-lifetime moment, which mode do I use to capture the moment? Thanks


When my wife and I were in Alaska, we took a whale watching boat tour and we saw whales in several, different locations. What I would suggest that you try is to video the first set of whales you see and photograph the second set of whales you see. You may only be able to do one or the other simultaneously, but there is no reason that you cannot do both individually, and if you are unable to store both on the same card (I have never done video), then simply change the card after videoing the first set of whales.
Hope you have a great time in Alaska, we had a blast.
