Re: Color Management Help Needed
I have a Canon i9900. Color management is simple, but Canon's driver sure was designed to make it as confusing as possible. In Adobe PS: - working space: whatever device-independent working space you like to work with, typical & recommanded choices being sRGB, adobeRGB. If you want to know (but you don't have to): the… -
Re: Nikon VS Canon VS ????
I will concur with ziggy's suggestion. For not much more, you get a semi-pro D200. You say you are getting back into photography so you will know your way around a camera. The D80 is a great camera as it has most of the inside of the D200 so you will not go wrong with it either. If you are going on the cheaper side, I… -

Re: My new BMW R12RT (was "Talk me out of it")
Well, you're right marlof. Everybody did a really poor job of talking me out of it. So I traded-in my 2002 R1150RT with 28K miles last Friday for a light granite gray 2005 R1200RT. I bought the first R1200RT from San Jose BMW. Well before the April 1 debut that most dealers in the area have scheduled. Chris Hodgson, the… -
Re: Seattle (lots o pics)
Thanks for the compliments! That first shot is a result of me wanting to get somewhat of a lomo/holga look. After the standard sharpening, mild contrast and color corrections in the RAW development (about 20 seconds, just to get it to look like what I saw) I took it over to GIMP. It's a little complicated at first, but… -
Re: lens?
Everybody always asks the "which ONE lens would you pick to shoot a wedding with", and that question is (no offense) kinda silly because, well, you just don't go into a wedding with just one or two lenses. What you REALLY mean is, "which ONE lens should I invest the most in?" And when you put it that way, the answer is… -
Re: Exposition in Lisbon (50 photos)
I want to express my gratitude for all the comments you all have been posting on this gallery. In fact, as Nikolai said, it is good in terms of publicity though I am not expecting anything, which is even better if something (like what ?) happens. I know: A commitment to go to South India, hotel and food included one month… -
Re: B.D. Colen - SmugMug PJ Artist-in-Residence
I am so Happy! Add me to the list of folks ecstatic to have B.D. here and the addition of this forum. With B.D.'s comments above, his critique in this thread, and rutt's questions on strategy, this will be a great place to post. I'll refrain from commenting on specific points made about tools/creativity, but what I like… -
Re: New Gear suggestions
Most folks also use their camera for social situations. A flash and appropriate flash modifier are always a good idea. For tripod use, you're right, a flash is often not necessary for focus. I'll use Live View with magnification as a primary focus tool, augmented with a flashlight for critical focus if the ambient light… -
Re: ND filter for landscape shooting
Hi, Terrence I assume you are referring to "graduated" ND filters. I have a couple of cheapo graduated ND's from Cokin, the P-120 (1 stop) and the P-121 (2 stop). They work, but they do reduce the sharpness of your image. I think they were about $20-25 each, plus the holder & adapter ring - another $16 or so. Was it you…
