I take it you don't have natural gas where you live?

You know what a Muslim is right? :cyclops:

I'm pretty sure you meant muslins. ;)

The joys of multiple exposures, film, & B&W. These pictures have to be close to 12-15 years old that I took in HS.

Here are the setting that dialed it out for me in Canon's DPP. If Imageshack decides to start accepting uploads again any time soon I'll post before and after comparisons.

Nah, he just doesn't want to be in the photo. Though I'd assume he has remotes for his gear. :sunny:

Well, apparently Canon DPP CA correction controls are just counter intuitive and not well explained. It is possible to basically dial out all the CA this Tokina 11-16mm lens has with it. You have to set the main slider to 0 and use the lower two. You would think that having the main slider...

That was mainly what kept me from buying a D60. They never seemed to be available.

I'm pretty sure it said it was chalk, so probably not too long.

Whoops, I need to take that back. I bought a 10D when it first came out which was in early 2003. Somehow I had the dates confused.

Oh, and I had a DSLR in 2001. You didn't?

I blame Bill Gates, Che Guevara, and Mary Queen of Scotts. :cyclops:

No, I'm still trying to find a workable solution for nuking the CA and getting a decent RAW conversion. If I can't find one the lens goes back. Right now I'm leaning that way.

How does that help me get rid of the CA though? Normally I convert to 16-bit TIFF with DPP and do the rest in PS.

I'm not sure I follow you. What's a neutral 16-bit TIFF?

I only have 35mm stuff, so that's at least not a problem. :p I plan to get back into shooting and developing B&W film, so the scanner made sense for me.

I forgot to mention that I don't like Adobe Camera Raw because the output has posterization in the shadow details that Canon DPP doesn't. The Photozone.de review of the Canon 10-22 didn't exactly excite me. The Tokina has better sharpness and supposedly the CA was easily fixable. The Canon...

Here's one. I must have been smoking something funny this morning. Tonight I was able to get much better results with ACR 4.6 in terms of CA removal. :dunno:

I asked beyond just here. However, there are a lot of DSLR users here, so I figured I wasn't pushing the limits of the knowledge available here.

Here's a JPEG straight from the camera that shows the issue in the silhouettes of the trees. FWIW, the CA seemed more pronounced in the RAW file.

I bought a Tokina 11-16mm f/2.8 (Canon) after seeing the Photozone.de review which praised it's high uniform sharpness compared to the other similar lenses. The downfall of the lens is worse CA than other similar lenses. However, everyone always glosses over CA with the ol comment of, "Well...

Here are 100% crops of two Nikon scans. The left one is a 4x multisample scan with nothing else done to it. The right one is a 4x multisample scan with ICE4 Advanced set to "Fine" and nothing else done to it. In case you're not aware ICE4 uses an IR scan to remove dust and scratches. FWIW...

So, here's a quick difference comparison between a Costco Scan and the Nikon Coolscan 5000ED image. No adjustments have been made to either image. Both have only been re-sized and sharpened slightly. I'm pretty sure you all can figure out which is which. :silent:

I got one for $800. New they are $1100. Used they go on ebay for about $900.

So turn it off.

It's crazy that the last generation of film/slide scanners that were made, before being discontinued, now cost more used then they did new. The Coolscan 5000 ED has not been discontinued yet, so it's slightly less effected by the apparent rampant stupidity.

Ok, so I think I have a line on a used Nikon Coolscan 5000 ED for a reasonable price. That should take care of my film scanning needs. 8-)

Surprisingly film scanners go for serious money on ebay. Some of them sell for more used than they did new. I just shot some cheapo Kodak Ultramax 400 to test out the camera.

Are those sunglasses? Where did you buy them?

I finally decided to put a roll of film through my EOS-3 to make sure it's working correctly. I took it to a local Costco and had it developed and decided to get their $2.99 Pictures on CD along with my prints. I had read online about the great 6MP scans people got back from Costco. Of...

Assuming you're talking about LCD monitors for a computer, I think for the most part they're about as cheap as they will get in the sizes up to the mid 20" range. They're also not likely to get much better as the low price keeps in the oldest and poorest performing technology (TN).

Way to not answer the question. ;) Say, are you a politician by any chance?

You're talking about a filter that's uniformly dark gray right? How does that help in shade?

Why were you using a ND filter?

So I just ordered a Tokina AT-X 116 PRO DX [11 - 16mm f/2.8]. This is my first crop sensor lens. :eek:

Well of course he was sitting there. With that combo he won't be walking very far due to the anchor like weight of that combo around his neck. :o

What is a "subject"? Person, animal, building, car?

I think they've switch to HD video these days. :geek:

You must be shooting pictures like a madman on vacation. Assuming you're only taking pictures 16 hours a day (allowing 8hrs for sleep, meals, and personal hygene), two weeks is only 13440 minutes. That means you're shooting almost 2 pictures a minute 16 hours a day for 2 week straight? :skepo...

Another open mouth insert foot moment by udaman. :bstd: Perhaps you can show us where the +12V needed for 3.5" drives is found in the USB connector. :skepo:

No, but the wife is. :thumbright:

I had a PT Cruiser rental car once (what a pile) that didn't have cruise control. I was not very happy about it. That all depends on where exactly you went. If you went to downtown Detroit proper, it's quite possible it really was a ghost town. If you were in the burbs you probably found that...

It's 12 hours from EST, and 9 hours from PST (or is that 15?). Now that I think about it it must be 15 ahead from PST.

Lets just say I'm somewhere in Asia. :bomb:

I'm out of the country on vacation, so I'm about 9-12 hours out of sync with everyone in the US.

However the latter will be infinitely more useful than the former. Projectors don't work well in ambient light, and they need something flat and uniformly neutral colored to boot.

There are a few others with 16:9 screens instead of 16:10 screens. The Lenovo S10 and the HP 2140 are two more.

It seems like most of the new 11.6" netbooks have a 1366 x 768 screen. There are also a few 10" models with the 1366 x 768 screen like the Dell Mini 10 and HP 2140.

Using it here. Seems to be working fine for me.
