Years ago I bought some used monolights, umbrellas, etc. and set up a makeshift studio in my living room. The only way to get it right in film days was a light meter. I bought a Polaris for… -
Re: Is a $1000 monitor really worth it
Please help with my search for a new monitor. Any new thoughts on the Dell U2412M and other monitors that are new to the scene? I noticed Samsung was touting it's "magic angle" screens so I started comparing those horizontal and vertical viewing angles. Is 160 degrees by 170 degrees considered magic angle if it's not… -
Re: Color Management Issue
John, I can clearly see an orange dress in the left image, and a reddish orange image in the right two images, maybe just a touch more reddish on the right. The difference is quite distinct on my calibrated Apple Cinema display. Photoshop, and Firefox and Safari are color space aware applications, and they should be… -
Re: Blimp Hangar
Tustin Hangers Great shot. How did you get access? I drove by a couple weeks ago thinking I wanted to get in there and take some pictures. By the way, for anyone who doesn't know, you can see these hangars (there are two) in many commercials and movies. One is currently featured (inside and out) in a Saab television… -
FS: Various Items
End of year closet cleaning and have made a list of items I would like to sell. All of the items are in very good condition and bought and owned by me.

Re: Quantaray Flash for Nikon
The local Ritz has been going out of business as well. (this is the last week they'll be open) Anyway, a while ago, I picked up an xlf-50 and a pz40x-II, both i-ttl compatible. Both work fine with my D40. The little xlf-50 is pretty small, reasonably fast recycle, and does a good job filling small rooms and close ups. I… -
Re: France 1964
The next day we visited Avignon (the Pope's palace) This is the biggest Gothic palace in all of Europe. It was built in the 14th century and was completed in only 20 years by popes Benedict XII and Clement VI when Avignon was the seat of the papacy. At the time we visited, Avignon was not very well known and was off the… -
