Yosemite and Hornitos, May 2010
Last May, I went to a photography workshop in Yosemite headed by veteran outdoor photographers Dave Wyman and William G. Hartshorn. Due to heavy snow and rain during the winter, the waterfalls were powerful and the rainbows plentiful. After the workshop, Dave and William invited us to go along with them for a bonus… -
Re: Advice on organizing galleries
Well, as I tell my CS students: there are two things you really have to know hash tables and regexp :D Anyway here is the script I use (turned out that the bug I was seeing originated in a help text bug on Smugmugs site :) Note that it contains code for sending the result to BBEdit or MarsEdit, also that I'm using a custom… -
Re: debarralized Fisheye and image quality
I was trying to carry out ziggy's idea with fishing and defishing. But that brings up two problems. First, debarrelizing works with most lens correction programs for fisheyes only in one direction: debarrelize or defish. Secondly, if I fish an image and then later defish it, to compare the output to the original image,… -
Re: Crop sensor mirrorless—Sony, Fujifilm, or … ?
Hi Barbara, even though it sounds as though you've made up your mind, I'll throw in my 2 cents. I'm also in the over-65-group and camera weight is an issue, whether it's for walking around in a city or on the ocassional hike, or more importantly for me is on a bike. My camera rides in a handlebar bag and it is important… -
Re: Advice/reccomendations for the USA & Canada...
You are totally missing not only the most interesting state in the union, but also one of the most beautiful and diversified locations on earth. California (Las Vegas, Nevada butts up to California). 1,000 miles of coastline, sandy beaches, rocky coves with cliffs 100 feet plus high teeming with marine mammal life (Sea… -
Re: Tri-Pod Stability
I started my life as a born-again photographer (dropped it for years, picked it back back up some 5 years ago) with a tripod very similar to the Manfrotto 190XB with an Acratech Ultimate Ballhead and was happy with it for quite some time. I shot with a 300D (yep, that's what I started with and it's been downhill ever since… -
Re: Little Guys
Hi Jack.. I posted links to the exif screen shots below. When looking at this please take into consideration how they were taken.. explained below.

Re: 5DMKII vs D700
OK, So those that use the 5DMKII, is the AF really that bad?? After reading some posts on other sites it seams like alot of people are not happy with the focusing, compared to the D700. Oh, and I mainly shoot in RAW... but lately I've been thinking about just shooting JPEG. Why? Because if you get the exposure correct in… -
Re: DSS Mega Challenge #4 Energy - Unofficial Feedback Thread
Why and how I shot what I did. When I first started thinking about this challenge all I could think of was smokestacks. (I like smokestacks.) Looking at images on the web for ideas, every one had smoke or steam just pouring out. Ok, all I needed to do was find one that was in operation. I even had my title ready. "At What… -
Re: not in it for the $$$
cash from pics-it can be fun too i have the utmost respect for profesional photographers-dealing with clients,getting a shot to order,competing for jobs in a tight market etc etc. Doing a wedding or a commercial product shoot,or revolving door studio portaiture leaves me cold,even though this is how many professional…
