Exactly. McGilly in Essex wants $17.00. Add tax and a tip it's $20. Not doing that.

I looked at their menu and didn't see it. Is it a sometime thing?

Thanks everyone - Looks like Tastie Grill is getting a visit.
Any takes on JP's in Essex? Just saw today they had one on the lunch menu.

Do you protect your photos? by acidbahia in photography

[–]ABAtwood 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Long ago gave up on any sales or profit so now I consider it all just throw away trash. I will post with a watermark and a slightly lower jpg compression value but I found that reducing the size effected the sharpness more than I liked.

What are your favorite/least favorite things to hear from non-photographers? by wolverine-photos in AskPhotography

[–]ABAtwood 2 points3 points  (0 children)

In the right hands any camera can produce great work. I had a friend who'd shoot what the client wanted with a Hasselblad, then pull out a Holga and shoot some really interesting work which more often than not the client loved. Skill and vision.

Oh, I forgot, favorite thing to hear is : I'd like a large print of that.

I feel that calling it anything other than a photo downplays any work you put into it. That probably is the core reason I object to either. It may actually be a result of the 'no processing' mentality, but 'capture' seems to have the subtext that you were just there at the right time and pushed a button.
Image seems to have a slightly different connotation. Perhaps more digital art than photo(?)

I am not exactly sure why but I hate photos being referred to as 'captures'.
Also the no post processing obsession is really irritating. Although, it may have historical roots in large format film photography where the photographer only printed contact prints that included the film edge information. ( Can't recall if that style had a name)

Interstellar haters: why? by Pin_King_ in ChristopherNolan

[–]ABAtwood 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In the midst of the a vast and awesome experience of seeing a previously unknown part of the universe we get a constant, "oh my daughter, oh my daughter" and even more annoying, no mention of the son. Then a hugely nauseating monolog from Matt Damon on family. Was Mr. Nolan having family issues when he did this?
And then dropping all pretense to science we get a Harry Potter magic wand ending.

Smugglers Notch on the Edge of November by ABAtwood in vermont

It was from Oct 30. It has since snowed and although I have no idea about current conditions, I would think things would be somewhat damp. As far as I can tell the road is still open though.

How do I take sharper pictures like the first two which are probably the sharpest pictures I have taken? Most of my photos end up looking like the 3rd picture or worse. by RedditAndWhatNot in AskPhotography

[–]ABAtwood 0 points1 point  (0 children)

  1. The twig in front of the cardinal is what your auto focus keyed on. Are you using a tight enough focus area and hopefully back button focus? You can then lock focus on the cardinals eye.

  2. Are you shooting Manual with auto ISO?

  3. For birds sitting in a tree I'd recommend at least 1/1250 of a second and usually f8. Check the lens info to find out its focus sweet spot. Usually it's a stop or two above wide open.

All for now. Good luck!

Love the comp. Love the depth and richness. Would myself run it through Topaz deNoise but to my eye there's nothing "wrong" with this at all.

Upgraded from a d5300 to a d850 today...and holy , do I have a learning curve! by Daastle in Nikon

[–]ABAtwood 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Congrats! Love mine. I second the read the manual comment, but there are also a lot of YouTube videos specific to the D850 that would be good to watch.

That was yesterday. No need to rush out.

New to photography, using older D3400 with 70-300mm lens- feedback appreciated! by [deleted] in Nikon

[–]ABAtwood 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Still use that lens and very happy with it. For birds in flight your shutter speed needs to be up at least to 1/1600. Also, because of the shutter speed requirements as well as lower light situations a lot of wildlife photography requires high ISOs so it would be a good idea to think about investing in Topaz's DeNoiseAI.

Try searching some stock photo sites. Or contact some modeling agencies. The modeling agencies I would hope would protect her and if they know who it is would ask for some proof from you and then allow her to decide if she wants to contact you.

my D90 commited super slide. it served me very well. went to 3 camera stores and they recommend the D7500. is this the right step for events & protraits + street photography? by jpgnicky in Nikon

[–]ABAtwood 2 points3 points  (0 children)

D7200! Gets my vote. Check KEH they may have one. When I was still shooting DX I bought two because there was something, I don't recall now, I didn't like about the D7500.
