Bert, Slideshowclub.com doesn't function like Beechbrook.com did. I used a separate mailing system for show notifications. Slideshowclub.com has a built in function which sends email notifications or gives site notifications, your choice, but you have to configure your profile accordingly. Click on your name under "MEMBERS", click on "EDIT MY PROFILE". Select "NOTIFICATION OPTIONS" and go down to the "DOWNLOADS" section. You can make your choices there. After making these choices please let me know if you still do not receive notices. :)/>/> Regards, Bill

Jim. Thank you so much for your kind words. You have certainly provided some great shows on Beechbrook for its many visitors,. But above all you have been a MAJOR supporter financially for many, many years. For that I am forever in your debt. Thank you !! Bill.

Great. Welcome aboard Eric! I'm right there with ya. Registration shouldn't be a matter of National Security should it? :lol:/>/>/> - Bill

Eric. If you look just to the bottom of most screens you will see a link for 'Help' , one for 'Disclaimer' and one for 'Privacy Policy' that are available to everyone without registering. Helpfully these will be of some benefit. - Bill

Michael. Thanks for your comments. I look forward to seeing some of your work soon! - Bill

Peter, Well done, with a great subject matter, a fine use of the capabilities of PTE, and of course superb photography. Thank you for sharing ! Regards, Bill

Charlie... Wonderful demo of PTE features. Amazing photography. Thank you for sharing with us. I could even fell the heat coming from the balloon burners !! I did not realize that PTE was that powerful. ;)/> Regards, Bill

Colin, I certainly enjoyed all three of your presentations. Very nice photography. We have traveled to many of the places you featured in your shows. Just a lovey setting throughout. Thanks for sharing your work !! Bill

Ray, Beautiful work. I enjoyed your photography and your words. Well done !!! Bill

Dave, I found this on the web concerning the D600. "Exposure metering is determined through Nikon's Intelligent Scene Recognition System, which utilizes 3D Color Matrix Metering II. This metering system makes use of a 2016-pixel RGB sensor for evaluating the entire scene's brightness and contrast values, subject distance and colors in order to determine the exposure settings. The acquired data is then stored for comparative use to ensure consistency among different exposures in regard to white balance and overall exposure values. It also helps to improve i-TTL flash measurements and subject-tracking focus." Whether or not the Nikon D600 then retains this info for later use.... I don't know. Sorry, Canon man! :-) Bill

Dave, Cheap and dirty way is to use IrfanView. It provides Subject Distance in the EXIF data if it's available from your camera. Bill

Download That's the way from Beechbrook.Com Bill
