Hi, Dave. Great name.

I did get the Nikon T-mount and a Celestron T-adapter. There are links in the post under “Connecting the Camera”. They connected just fine, but my problem was my telescope and something called back-focusing. Basically, the adapters took the sensor too far away from the focal point of my camera, and my telescope didn’t allow me to move the eyepiece/camera any closer to achieve focus. You can read more about it here http://www.davidmonnerat.com/2011/07/28/dslr-back-focus-problem-with-astrophotography/.

Hope that helps!

I also have the D7000. Did you ever get the right T-ring and adaptor for you telescope? I’m looking for such a combo atm.
Any guidance appreciated…

Comment on Eye-Fi Direct Mode Setup and Test by David

Basically what you’re doing is telling your iPad to connect to the wireless network that is created by the Eye-Fi card; think of it like your wireless router at home. The password that the Eye-Fi card creates to join its “network” is a mix of numbers and letters, so inside of the Eye-Fi application on your iPad, it lets you copy and paste the password in to the Settings > Wi-Fi options of the iPad. If you’re doing this in your home or in a location where your iPad can join another network, you need to make sure that you tell the iPad (again, in Settings > Wi-Fi on your iPad) to join the Eye-Fi network, NOT your “normal” network.

Hope that helps.

We cannot get our card to send pics to our iPad. Not quite understanding the part about coping and pasting the password. Maybe that is our issue. Don’t think we were prompted for that.

Comment on back up your iphone photos and movies with lightroom by David

Hi, Aboud.

For the most part, I process my iPhone pictures on the iPhone itself, so everything comes over to the computer in the one folder. If I do process those images further in Lightroom and want to export them, then I will export them in to the Processed folder as if they had come off my DSLR.

I do sometimes star/rank my iPhone images, too, so I know which ones I may want to go back to look at later. For that, I just flag them in Lightroom in the original iPhone backup folder.

Stuff processed on the iPhone stays in the Originals\iPhone Backup folder. Logic being that usually when I process an image on the iPhone, I wind up with two images; the original and the processed image. Both of those come over as part of the backup. Most of the time when I process something on the iPhone, I’ll also upload it from the iPhone to wherever I want the image to live (Facebook, Instagram, Blog). But if I did want to do something more with the image off the phone, I would export a processed version into Processed, and then upload it from there.

Hope that helps, and thanks for reading and for the comment!

A gem of a post!

Some questions:

How about your processed photos organization scheme? Do you separate between iPhone and CF card?

How about which photos get published? The cream of the crop?

Finally, especially with the iPhone, sometimes I publish an original straight from the iPhone. Does this published photo get considered as a “exported” or “processed” photo?

How about iPhone photos that were processed on the iPhone itself, do these get sorted into your Originals/iPhone Backup?

Comment on Eye-Fi Card, Nikon D7000, and Adobe Lightroom Workflow by David

Direct mode would definitely do what you want, but I don’t think you can discriminate as to which images get displayed. Basically, anything written to the Eye-Fi card gets transferred. A few options, though, if your camera has two slots. First, you can just not write to the second card the entire time, and only switch it on before you snap one you want to show them. It involves some finesse and some switching on the camera which might break the flow, but that could work. You can also check to see if your camera has a copy function. That might let you do selective copies to the Eye-Fi card, which is probably more what you’re looking for. If your camera only has one card slot, though, I’m not sure what other options you have.

So I’m trying to figure out if Eye-Fi will allow me to send images to an iPad to share with a parent during a photo session. I don’t expect to have a router nearby, but it sounds like the Direct Mode might allow it. What I want to know is can I pick which images to send or does it automatically send all images. I’d like to be able to pick just a few examples to send.
