Re: Recommend 2 lenses for the Canon 60D
My philosophy... My philosophy is to buy the best lens or lenses that you can afford right from the start. Don't nickle-dime yourself around buying an inferior lens or lenses and then having to upgrade the glass. There are two lenses for 1.6x cameras with which I do 90-95% of my shooting. The 17-55mm f/2.8 IS and the… -
Re: Ruined nyc trip photos - bad ICC profile...help!
Last question I have in this thread (don't hold me to that ;-)...... Since the OP, I have: -calibrated my laptop and pc CRT monitor using Spyder2Express. My god, what a difference. Both had their Kelvin jacked up to 7500k-very cool blue cast. -In Photoshop CS2 I am using this profile as working space, and now proofing… -
Re: TFCD - how many to offer
Well I'm not sure about it being a bore in the sense I'm thinking of the term but there is no doubt it can be incredibly frustrating, inefficent, time wasting and even expensive. As for not building a Portfolio, to the most part I also agree with this. There are so many models whom are nothing more than bored people that… -
Re: Capture NX2 vs. LR2
I've been a Capture NX user since I first started shooting RAW and have loved the program. The same goes for NX2. When I first started using it I was at a complete loss as to how to use NX and therefor kind of stuck with Photoshop. That was until I was told about an e-book written by Jason Odell called The Photographer's… -
Re: Zenfolio vs. Smugmug?
Fair enough - I still have trouble reminding myself that people still use dialup :-) Right, and especially if you leave the profiles on the large images but convert the thumbs to sRGB (which will give them the treatment they currently have, i.e. right for 95% of the people). Nice test! I must confess I have absolutely no… -
Re: Dilemma (What to upgrade?)
I recently made the switch from a D50 to a D300. It was a tough call and ALOT of money but so far I'm loving it and don't regret it at all. I had looked at the D80 but figured it wasn't too huge of a jump and that I would want the D300 a shortwhile later. I looked at a D200 too since they are getting a bit cheaper but… -
Re: Camera for wife
Yes, the D50 is "retired", some places may still have one in stock, but they were discontinued in favor of the D40. The 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 is the kit lens, it's nice. The Nikkor 70-300m f/4-5.6 is okay. Check This Thread that I posted in sports the other day. All of these were with the D50 and the 70-300mm f4-5.6. (As were… -
Re: unedited proof galleries - how many do this?
Hi Ann, Yes, in your particular situation, I can see why getting them up fast would be very important. Bravo to you, by the way...30K! Whew! It seems more urgent for sports photogs to get the goods available ASAP. This brings up an interesting point, even for portrait photogs. I wonder if some have found that an extra… -
Re: Smugmug & Photo Mechanic
OK, I need to backtrack. I have zero experience with JPG. With raw, PM writes an XMP file which LR respects and applies and it works exactly as if I had applied the crop in LR. With JPG, I don't think XMP's can work at all, so i think PM is writing the crop information into the JPG file, but is not actually cropping it. I… -
Re: Users of the D4, or other dual card cameras
In the D800 I do something like Matt suggested, I keep a 128gig SD in as backup, but I use a 64 Gig primary and try never to change cards in the field. To me that's begging for problems. Only time I open it up is if I'm trying to deliver photos during a shoot. In the D4 when I bought the XQD it was a bit small, but I do…
