 It minimizing DOF is perhaps more important as it can smooth out even somewhat 
busy backgrounds.

I find that the major advantage of the longer lens is that there is a 
narrower field of view of the background, making it easy to avoid 
background ugliness.

If you had the room and the lens, a longer focal length would give you a less 
in focus background? I use a 300 a lot in close focus situations and get a 
really nice OOF background. It's a 300mm f4.5 FA and it close focuses to around 
under 10 feet!

Re: Can't drag folders in Lightroom

[Eric Weir]

Solved the problem by exiting LR and restarting it. Had to do it a few times 
till it started working smoothly. At one point, when I cancelled a move, LR 
froze my system. Couldn’t force quit LR and LR wouldn’t let me restart the 
system.

Yes, I would also prefer a cleaner background, but this was in a large

Can't drag folders in Lightroom

[Eric Weir]

I just returned from a month traveling, camping, hiking, and a little 
photographing on the Blue Ridge Parkway. Normally my Lightroom files are kept 
in a directory labeled “Photos” on an external hard drive. While on the trip I 
imported photos into Lightroom in the “Pictures” directory on my MacBook Air’s 
internal drive. 

An hour or so ago I began dragging folders in Lightroom from the “Pictures” 
directory to the “Photos” directory. After successfully dragging ten folders 
dragging suddenly stopped working. I drag, but the folders won’t move. 

I Googled about this. Over the years others have encountered the problem. The 
issues in the cases I read about were extremely complicated and not much help 
to me. Wonder if any Lightroom experts here might be able to help.

Thanks,

Re: OT - Ramblin Roots Revue

[Steve Cottrell]

On 8/10/17, John, discombobulated, unleashed:

>They featured Johnny Cash's version of Tom Petty's "Won't Back Down".
>That's one of my favorite country crossover songs.

The programme was recorded, edited and with the station a few days before TP 
died. The choice of 'Won't Back Down' was made by the show's host - pure 
coincidence. A 'back-ref' was added a day before transmission to acknowledge 
Petty.
