Thank you all for your thoughts! I just want to see if I can bring this back around to the question I asked. Does anyone know if Capture NX2 will run under OS X, after 10.10. Holy Grail would be someone who knew it ran on High Sierra, but I'm just trying to know if it runs on any version after my 10.10. Thanks again.

To answer why not NX-D, I really like the way things are done in NX2, and appreciate the control point feature. I don't want side cars. I tried NX-D when it was introduced and felt it was a big step backwards. The way I see it, I will stay with NX2 as long as my D800 is my primary camera. At least that is my current thinking. Ironically, the only reason I am looking to upgrade anything is that I'm also captive to Turbo Tax, which now requires 10.11. If I could install El Capitan my life would be much, much easier. Unfortunately, Apple has made that impossible as I never downloaded it. Because, well, Apple is Apple you can no longer obtain 10.11 if you never downloaded when it was readily available. Ugh.

High all. I've not been around in quite a while. Having now 8 year old twins can have that effect. Equipment wise I am probably a rather odd duck, D800 + Capture NX2 + Mac user. I am even stranger in that I prefer Capture NX2 over everything else I've used and that is part of the reason I'm still shooting with my perfectly great D800. Anyhow, it looks like the time has come to update my OS to something later than OS X 10.10. There seem to be no options for me other than the latest OS, 10.13. I know that Nikon doesn't support Capture NX2 anymore, but does anyone know if it will run? Any idea if it will run on 10.11, or 10.12? Thanks to any and all folks to might offer some info here.

<p>Canon 9000 series are great printers. They have a huge print capability and don't consume a great deal of ink. Combined with top quality Canon paper and shots from my Nikon D800 come out looking unbelievable. Mine is a Pro9000 Mark II and I got it in 2012, so I don't know what they are up to now.</p> <p>There is no way I'd buy an HP printer, as much out of disgust for what one of the finest companies ever created has become as for the fact that their business model mimics disposable razor blades - they make the money on the ink. The printer is just a vehicle, so of course they eat ink. That is the point.</p>

<p>My honest feedback done sort of stream of consciousness:</p> <ul> <li>I think your photography is pretty good. Better than quite a few beginning wedding shooters I've seen, and indicate you have a decent hand at post processing.</li> <li>I really don't get the website at all. A couple of pages that let me look at images. The weddings page is the same as the default landing pages. </li> <li>I would completely lose or redo the About page. From the first part where I learn you were bored and photography was your second choice to pottery to the completely unneeded and quite pretentious list of random "facts." I'll say it again, for a photographer who started in 2013 you are not bad at all. Do not sell yourself short. You want a polished, professional image, not a 38 (38!) item list of fun facts. </li> <li>The contact page is a loser. You really expect people to give you their information but you will not give them yours? Just give your email address if you don't want phone calls, although I'd have a business phone # given as well. </li> <li>As others have mentioned, you need to tell people where you are. Although I know that you are an RN, and love beer and coffee, I don't know if you are in my time zone, my state or my city. I'd gladly trade the first three for the latter three.</li> <li>A positive thing that I would advocate generally for others as well, I do like that you have a single photo of yourself. That lets me know a great deal and does establish that you are a person I could relate to. </li> <li>All the other about stuff could be edited down to current info. I don't care nearly as much about the history as the present - tell me what I can expect from you, how you work, what you will do to make sure things work. Are you focusing in the photojournalistic approach, retro/b/w, classic posed, not posed, engagements? I'm trying to find a person to hire for an important event. Potentially one of the most important events in my life. I'm not going to go down a rabbit hole in hopes that I'll eventually find out what I need to know from you. You need to give it to me clearly, succinctly, and professionally.</li> </ul> <p>Good luck, please don't take my criticisms personally. You're an RN, you can do anything and take anything I can throw your way. This much I know.</p>

<p>I know I'm late to the party, but I'm an owner of an 85mm f/1.4 G who if doing it over again would save the money and get the 1.8G. It is a fantastic lens. Better or as good in many way and certainly a better value. </p> <p>One thing to understand, and is often missed (I'm not sure as I have read every posting in this thread) is that the difference in T-stops between the 1.4G and 1.8G is MUCH less than the difference in f-stops would have you believe. If I recall correctly, the 1.4G is a 1.7 T-stop lens. While the 1.8G is a 1.9 T-stop lens. So, while you do get to have the razor thin focal plane of f/1.4 in the former, it really isn't letting that much more light in. </p> <p>Don't get me wrong, I love the lens I own. I do. I'm not selling it any time soon and it helps me do some really great things in portraiture. But if I had to do it again, I'd buy the 1.8G and put the rest of the money towards something else I could use, like a lighter tripod or in the fund to eventually get the super tele I'd like some day. Get the 1.8G. Out of those choices it is the best lens for almost any application.</p>

<p>It's a passport. Anything that meets their requirements is fine. Paying more than $5 is too much. I used my inkjet printer and photo paper. Cost...~$0.25</p>

<p>I haven't processed any holiday shots, but did make a trip recently to one of my favorite discoveries of 2014, the B&O Railroad Museum in Baltimore, MD. My nearly five year olds love it more than I can convey in writing. I love it because it is filled with amazing behemoths of iron and steel to shoot. If you are within an hour or so of Baltimore and have kids, the family membership is worth every penny.</p><div></div>
