Re: Slowness? Post your trace routes here!!
CHMOD - 3ms?!?! How in the world do you get that speed? And was the site still slow? Or were you just posting your results? If it was slow at 3ms - surely it's a datapull bottleneck somehow on the serverside... Is that a typo? 3ms?? Mine right now is running enormously sluggish again... Had a customer call and ask when my… -
Re: Manual flash, method to perfection?
The very best way to use manual flash for a portrait session, for instance, is to previously test the flash and flash modifiers, keeping a log and noting the results at different distances from the subject. If you use direct flash, which I rarely recommend, you can calculate flash power at a given distance if you know the… -
SOLD: SONY VCL-HGD0758 58mm 0.7x Wide Lens
I have a genuine SONY VCL-HGD0758 58mm 0.7x Wide Conversion Lens for sale. Its designed to make the view of the Sony F707 & F717 much wider than its normal.

Proposing a Change in SF Judging Method
I'm throwing this out to see what others think. In addition to my own disappointment at not making the finalist list in #2, I was stunned that other images which I thought should be there had been dropped by the judges, particularly traunerk's Gotcha! (which I thought to be a little stronger than mine), and to a lesser… -

Re: your thoughts on this setup?
My input... The first setup seems over priced. You are getting two strobes with two stands and a soft box for one and a umbrella for the other. I have not itemized the difference in prices between the first setup and other strobe setups. You might want to look at the Alienbee strobes: http://www.alienbees.com/flash.html It… -

Mini Challenge #143 - "Critters"
I see we haven't had a purely animal challenge in a while, so, lets have one. Critters to me means anything that walks, crawls, or flies that isn't human. So whether you're a birder, or take photos of insects, or 4 leggers, you can all get something into this one. The challenge starts now, and ends on Friday, June 1st… -
Re: Request: D70 EXIF
Nikon D70 EXIF Explained I've figured out the makernote situation for the D70 completely, thanks to some wonderful Web resources. I even have working code that smugmug is welcome to use to get these features incorporated on their site. Enjoy! The Nikon D70 stores a bunch of useful information in the makernote section of…
