I'm no longer equipped for any studio/setup work like I did in the mid 70's to the early 80's.

I don't have a large enough mirror. :p

I was waiting for that one. You know why that is not practical.

You are both involved with the military vehicles?

Sure, we were using the 1Ds by then. :) I almost bought a D60 in 2002 to learn with, but they were always out of stock.

No. I recall there being far fewer choices back then, either small sensors with limited IQ or very expensive, slow backs for medium format. Nikon and Canon did not have any DSLR bodies of interest, so I was shooting film - 35mm for tele and general work, and 6x7 for quality. The 1Ds was the...

Oh, I have still have some Nikons but I don't want to deal with film. My cell phone and Blackberry do not have cameras. Cameras are not allowed in many facilities and it is a hassle to leave them with security, etc. IQ would be crap anyway.

A little cheaper now. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820167014 The 32GB was that price when I bought it. :(

It doesn't. I thought you were on to other issues now. Canon wideangle zooms are not the greatest.

Picture Style: Neutral

Convert to neutral 16-bit TIFF in DPP and then do everything else in PS.

How can I photograph my Canon equipment without using any of it? I don't even have a place for that. Maybe I should buy a white sheet and try the big sofa?

So none of the other controller brands support SLC memory?

Welcome to c. 2001 "digital photography." At least the computers are much faster now. By 2002 the 120MP 16-bit 6x9 scans were killing me. :(

Ugh. It's not easily and uniformly correctable, but can be improved to a reasonable degree. Unlike typical Canon wideangle red-channel offset and spreading, this one has a blue-channel fringe and green-channel offset. Some other apps reduce CA by decolorizing certain areas rather than...

I'd not try that option. The optometrist usually has to work with them quite a bit due to my face.

There are some decent cable shows, but with relatively few episodes compared to traditional networks.

Can you put an example .cr2 file online somewhere? I can try a few things.

So why should one buy them, or are they faster than Intel in write IOs?

TV now is just so much crap. Do we really need a reality show with a bunch of obese women battling over the bachelor? :puke-r::king::puke-l: Meanwhile scripted shows with good ratings are cancelled because they are not profitable enough. It is only a matter of time before network TV is dead.

:bglaugh:

Other than the Intel and rebranded Kingston SSDs, do any of them use the Intel controller?

I figure that connection or server speed is the main issue on the internet. (Maybe it would be different if I had a really fast connection, but we did get an upgrade this year.) If a site takes forever to load I click elsewhere. Most of the shopping sites and other sites I visit are fairly...

I would not touch anything from googles.

Heh, you should see all my stuff. :)

Oh, I was very slow in completing the post. I'm not sure how much a GND will help David, who seems to often shoot in bad lighting and use HDR.

How long does it take to fully flush away?

See if you can find something nice used like a Nikon 4000ED. I had two of those back in the early 2000s before the 8000ED. Which films are you using?

The main uses of moderate ND filters such as 4x (0.6 ND) and 8x (0.9 ND) are (1) to allow the use of wider apertures in bright light without exceeding the maximum shutter speed, and (2) to allow the use of long shutter speeds without exceeding the minimum (or practical min. for diffraction)...

Surely they have prescription lenses?

The subject in the event mentioned above is too specific to describe in a public forum.

No.

JInitiator is borked. I can't approve ANYTHING. :tdown:

You must be using polarizers though.

That must be a crappy filter if it reduces the contrast.

Tourists usually have lower-end gear and are shooting jpegs. You don't see as many people wandering around with 1Ds MK III or D3X bodies. 5D MK II has become fairly popular, but I've only seen a few so far.

There are around 3-8 hours of opportunity per day. I looked up one subject from last year and there were 1050 frames in 53 minutes. 1000-1200 frames per day is more typical.

:o That's just crazy. :D

David, try it without the quotes. ;)

Sure I'd rather have a 750GB drive. Yet every GB is worth another ~32 RAW files to me, so that extra 140GB will store ~4480 more files, i.e., 20,480 vs. 16,000. Combined with 164GB of fast cards, >25,000 is enough on a 2-week vacation to shift from orange to yellow zone or from yellow to green...

Something new, finally. http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/20/seagates-freeagent-go-series-bumped-to-640gb/

Still Taiwanese?

What was the outcome of your knee injuries? Was a tendon ruptured?

In hell...

That seems suspicious, but you did buy a used car.

Holy crap. I see that most of the netbooks are similar in display resolution. :(

What is the RAW conversion speed for 16-bit TIFF files?

Wolfdales (dual core C2D) are easy to O/C because they don't use a lot of power. I have an E8600 at 4.25 GHz on a Gigabyte board. It is a bit faster CPU than that Xeon (multiplier) and was more expensive back in 2008. That CPU is fine for my backup machine with 4GB RAM, and quite good on...

Is this for real? Should I wait for the newer X25-E?

It looks like Q4. http://tinyurl.com/nnnham
