The dark part of my raw files look exceptionally dark. Is there a way to correct for that?


What does the histogram show?

I am potentially planning a mid-late September journey from Indiana to Phoenix, heading southwest to Frisco, Texas (family), on to Carlsbad Caverns NP, to White sands NP, and then to Phoenix, probably stopping again at San Xavier near Tucson.

What other photogenic stops along the way might I make? Suggestions will be appreciated.

Thanks in advance, John.

Like it hdfilmnoir. Do you know what they would be loading from the facility?

Don


It is a coal loading facility. It is no longer in use.
Here's a photo of it in use:

Now that takes ba..s. Pull up to a box, use a cutting torch with sparks flying everywhere to cut the bolts, load into a truck and drive away.


I agree. Stealing it at night would certainly draw suspicion. The proper way to do it, without drawing suspicion is to do it in the middle of the day. Wear a hard hat and a high visibility work/safety vest and tape off the area with some caution tape. No one will give your activity a second thought.

We are planning a 9-day trip to Croatia starting in Zagreb and working our way down to Dubrovnik. For those of you who have been, do I need to take a wide-angle lens to shoot the Plitvice National Park? Or the walled city in Dubrovnik? I'd like to travel as light as possible, but don't want to miss a great photo op because I left a lens at home. I'm definitely taking my Z6ii and the 24-70 f/2.8. Thanks for any advice.....


I was in Croatia in 2016. I used my 24-105 mostly and my 70-200 came in handy several times.
Underneath my photos is a small "i" symbol. Clicking on it will give the lens details.
Enjoy your travels!

You do understand that if the caribou are gone many of the brown bears will die as well don't you? How do you suggest they protect the caribou, tell the brown bears to go hunt something else?

Using aircraft, the State of Alaska has recently massacred about 100 brown bears.
This was done without public knowledge and the public was never given a chance to attend meetings or comment on the Board of Game policies.
The story is here:

There has been several Letters to the Editor about this vileness. You can read some of them here:

https://www.adn.com/opinions/2023/06/15/opinion-alaskas-recent-brown-bear-massacre-is-an-historic-disgrace/


As an Alaskan resident this is the most vile and embarrassing thing I have ever witnessed the State of Alaska perform under the guise of game management.

Thanks for all the input. I think I'll give Matt K tutorials a try.
So far I have only used the Library and Develop modules.
In the Develop Module I usually start at the top and work my way down the controls and sliders.
I think what will help me the most is to find out what I don't know about the Develop Module.
Not sure I have much use for the other modules.

I am mostly self taught in Lightroom and I need to up my game.
I'm thinking about Laura Shoe's Lightroom courses but she is out on sabbatical until who knows when.
Her website states this:
"I will be on sabbatical starting September 1, 2021. I won’t be updating this series while I’m out, but you’ll still find it VERY HIGHLY relevant, and the series comes with a 60-day 100% satisfaction guarantee. I did add a 35 minute tutorial on the new Lightroom Classic 11 Masking feature!"

Lightroom is now up to version 12.3
My question is: Is her course worth it? Or should I find something else?
I notice a lot of online course are somewhat dated as well.
Your input is greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

I RECEIVED THE FOLLOWING TEXT MESSAGE ON MY CELL PHONE:

We have successfully processed your order under the ID "JJ915331", and a charge of $617 has been applied to your card. any inquiries, contact us +18044511450

I REPLIED WITH:

You have reached the telephone number of a Federal Law Enforcement Officer. You must delete this number, never call this number again and never share it with anyone. This is your only warning. You will be prosecuted to the full extent of Law.

Now that the COVID cloud has lifted the number of scams will increase. We must be ever so vigilant to prevent thieves from reaching into our pockets.

Two other examples I have experienced. I received a bill from a doctor from two years ago. I didn’t even recognize the doctor’s name. Two years ago I hired an attorney to finalize my will. He was paid in full. I received a bill for $75 for FedEx charges. Something is wrong because I pay my bills in full at the time they are due. I always ask to confirm the final cost.

More and more scams will continue as thieves become desperate.
I RECEIVED THE FOLLOWING TEXT MESSAGE ON MY CELL P... (show quote)


I posted this scam alert several years ago. This is so insidious I thought I should remind everyone of the dangers out there.


Women often receive warnings about protecting themselves at the mall and in dark parking lots, etc. This is the first warning I have seen for men. I wanted to pass it on in case you haven't heard about it. This will only become more commonplace as the weather warms.

A 'heads up' for those men who may be regular Lowe's, Home Depot, or Costco customers. This one caught me by surprise.

Over the last month I became a victim of a clever scam while out shopping. Simply going out to get supplies has turned out to be quite traumatic. Don't be naive enough to think it couldn't happen to you or your friends.

Here's how the scam works: Two seriously good-looking 20-something girls come over to your car as you are packing your shopping into the trunk. They both start wiping your windshield with a rag and Windex, with their breasts almost falling out of their skimpy T-shirts. It is impossible not to look. When you thank them and offer them a tip, they say 'No' and instead ask you for a ride to McDonalds.

You agree and they get into the back seat. On the way, they start undressing. Then one of them climbs over into the front seat and starts crawling all over you, while the other one steals your wallet. I had my wallet stolen November 4th, 9th, 10th, twice on the 15th, 17th, 20th, 24th, & 29th. Also December 1st & 4th, twice on the 8th, 16th, 23rd, 26th & 28th, three times last Monday and very likely again this upcoming weekend.

So tell your friends to be careful. What a horrible way to take advantage of older men. Warn your friends to be vigilant.

Wal-Mart has wallets on sale for $2.99 each. I found cheaper ones for $1.99 at K- Mart and bought them out. Also, you never will get to eat at McDonalds. I've already lost 11 pounds just running back and forth to Lowe's, Home Depot, and Costco.

MURPHY'S OTHER 15 LAWS

1. Light travels faster than sound. This is why some people appear bright until you hear them speak.


2. A fine is a tax for doing wrong. A tax is a fine for doing well.


3. He who laughs last, thinks slowest.

4. A day without sunshine is like, well, night.

5. Change is inevitable, except from a vending machine.

6. Those who live by the sword get shot by those who don't.

7. Nothing is foolproof to a sufficiently talented fool.

8. The 50-50-90 rule: Anytime you have a 50-50 chance of getting something right, there's a 90% probability you'll get it wrong.

9. It is said that if you line up all the cars in the world end-to-end, someone from Overland Park would be stupid enough to try to pass them.

10. If the shoe fits, get another one just like it.

11. The things that come to those who wait, may be the things left by those who got there first.

12. Give a man a fish and he will eat for a day. Teach a man to fish and he will sit in a boat all day drinking beer.

13. Flashlight: A case for holding dead batteries.

14 . God gave you toes as a device for finding furniture in the dark.

15. When you go into court, you are putting yourself in the hands of twelve people, who weren't smart enough to get out of jury duty.
