Re: Getting pro experience but no interest in being a pro
I think you read a lot into this that wasn't written. In fact I also said: >>>> And safe experience, as I won't show up the following month after their business. First, as I did clearly say I am not interested in weddings. But more importantly and maybe not made clear -- I am sensitive to the prevailing feeling that… -
Re: OK, this time I'm asking (no REALLY)
Hi Diva, Let me start by saying yet again that I do not feel "picked on". I've expressed my appreciation to my regulars here so often that I'm beginning to bore myself. I was actually chuckling at the idea that in this set, dedicated to experimenting with bokeh as a direct result of you all, the set up image with the sharp… -
Re: Recommendations for enthusiast P&S?
For myself, I waited for the s95 (I was about to buy the s90 right around the time the s95 was announced) simply because I'm a sucker for the faux tilt-shift "miniature" mode (absolutely love it, as you can see here) but, while the features in the s100 are I'm sure fine, I don't find myself lusting after them. The s95 does… -
Routing issue/trouble connecting to smugmug
At the office today I was unable to connect to dgrin, my smugmug site or www.smugmug.com. I tried a couple of times over a few hours and didn't get anywhere. A few minutes ago, I noticed I was having no trouble at all. I tried it again through a VPN to my office--couldn't reach smugmug or dgrin. Here's a traceroute from my… -

Re: lightroom in lieu of photoshop...maybe?
I have PS CS2, Lightroom, and Paintshop Pro X. So perhaps to save you a similar expense, here is my advice: 1) Lightroom will cover 95% of what you need to to with your photos, RAW or JPG. This includes DAM, corrections, adjustments and export to JPG. It offers printing and web stuff too, if that is of interest. You may… -
Re: Color correction - face shot
Yes, when in doubt, looking for an area that would be perceived as white or black is a good place to start for inspecting neutrals (although sometimes one may have to account for tones and casts which are not the darkest or the lightest part of the image and are more highlight/quartertone or whatever). The girl with the… -
Re: shocking announcement: Microsoft is listening
Let's not forget that IE did win the browser wars so most people don't consider it to be that crappy. Of course most people aren't web designers. According to the IE7 blog they have fixed the most troublesome of bugs: * Peekaboo bug * Guillotine bug * Duplicate Character bug * Border Chaos * No Scroll bug * 3 Pixel Text… -
Re: Sigma 18-200mm f3.5-63 DC OS
I have it in the Nikon mount. I have only a couple of problems with it. The barrel tends to stick as I zoom in or out so thats a bit annoying. Also, with all of my sigma lenses, I must keep the contacts clean or else the lense does't work properly with the D300. Funny thing is that the Sigma lenses work just fine with my… -
Re: Question about RAW versus JPG in PowerShotS50
Brad, The camera modes are completely different. If you didn't change them, then the camera did when you chose RAW format. I bolded the pertinant areas: http://bradfordbenn.smugmug.com/photos/182561943-O.jpg Exif Sub IFD * Exposure Time (1 / Shutter Speed) = 8/10 second = 0.80000 second * Lens F-Number/F-Stop = 28/10 =…
