I hope someone has information on Brent.

This is very sad news. Fred has been such a helpful member over all these years. May he rest in peace.

We had immense cloud cover in Pennsylvania. I set my alarm for 2:45am and went outside, but it was way too cloudy.

When using an iPhone, what I experience is very similar to using Firefox or Chrome on my Mac. What is happening that is causing you issues, Scott? At least with an iPhone, I can set a webpage as a shortcut on my home screen, and it's very much like having a dedicated app rather than having to...

One time I think I used a small cardboard box and covered it with a white cloth. It was just a little too tall for my preference but made do. The thing is I didn't have a shorter box that had enough width and depth. I can always cover these with plain cloths if I choose or can even put two of...

That's a good idea! I hadn't thought of it. I have a light box which I won't mind using, but if I ever wind up needing another, I might be tempted to get one with a light inside. This is what I ordered last night. Although I don't need 2 sets, the price was fine for my purposes. Thanks for...

I wound up ordering a small set of 3 stands from Amazon. Hopefully they will work okay. At least their sizes seem like they will be appropriate.

Thanks for the info @BF Hammer - I will search for acrylic. I hadn't considered that! As for the light box, I haven't used this one enough to decide how much I do or don't like using it. But I will keep your suggestion in the back of my mind. Thanks!

In the past, I mentioned getting one of these Neewer Tent/Light Cubes. What I'm looking for are small, clear displays so I can photograph smallish items inside it. I'm starting to make some friendship bracelets so something large enough to display them as well as large enough for other small...

I'm glad the video was informative. Bracketing would have been helpful with Monday's eclipse. And shooting in continuous allows the camera to capture the number of bracketed images without having to lift your finger off the shutter button.

My suggestion is to look into some type of dedicated security camera rather than a photography camera - one that is built specifically for the features you desire.

It's been a while, Scott! I hope you are doing well - glad to see you back. :)

Beautiful photos, Eduard! Actually I've never heard of this location, but it looks to be about 30 miles away. Thanks for the heads-up on this spot!

All good here. Just about 15 minutes ago we had an aftershock. Marilynne, supposedly it was felt from Maine all the way down to Washington DC. The epicenter was near the Red Mill around Whitehouse Station, NJ. That's about 40 miles away. The thing is there's a fault line running through the area...

I realize this thread is from 2023, but I don't yet have a new thread started for 2024. So this morning I was watching Shirk Photography's tutorial on one of his actions called Intensify Action. Have any of you ever watched a movie in a theater where the sound was so loud, you can feel the...
