I think a lot of the members that were active in photography have moved away from the board in the past year or so as the attitude and balance of the place has changed so drastically. I for one am reluctant to post these days for just those reasons myself.

That and I haven't been snapping the shutter much this year!

Yep. I've got no time or discretionary funds it seems since I got a plane to work on.

I did pick up Aperture though.... never really did any post processing before... what do you guys think?




On similar note... if you like black and whites, make sure you shoot in colour so then you can apply filter effects to certain colours to lighten or darken them. Maybe it is different in different programs or cameras, but anything I set Picture Control to B&W on my Nikon DSLR won't change with Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, or Blue filters.

This is a shot of Craigdarroch Castle on a nice sunny fall day... but it looks pretty sinister with a red filter effect.

You're a bad person.

Just might be looking to unload my gear.. simply not shooting at all these days.

I’m using a Nikon D7100, mostly with a 50mm 1.8. When I bought it I didn't know it was not a professional camera, though for me, as I am a beginner, that is enough...Getting more and more into it! Now searching for the information and reading forums on photography. My new hobby
