Re: upgrade to a new FX, or a better DX?
I have a D90 and a D300, but have never used a D5000. As far as I know, the sensor and autofocus device in the D5000 are the same as in the D90. They both have the same ISO range. They both shoot the same 12-bit compressed RAW. I don't know why your friend would say the D5000 struggles in low light but not the D90. The big… -
Re: D90 to D7000 or higher?
Check out the full review & videos of the D7000 at cameralabs.com then you decide the importance of video. The D7000 and 60D are both fine cameras. "Moving onto the movie mode, Nikon's completely revamped what was available on the D90, which lest we forget was the model which kick-started video on DSLRs two years earlier.… -
Re: HDR vs Graduated Filter:: Your Thoughts?
In negative/print film and process you deal with the DR (Dynamic Range) of 2 different systems, the film that does the initial imaging (along with subsequent processing, of course, which can impact on the total DR), and the print paper process. (You might opt to scan the negatives which then limits the dynamic range to… -
Re: New tripod on the way!
Gear arrived yesterday. I am thrilled! Surprisingly, it's actually a little TOO tall for me (I'm 6'5"). I had done the math a bunch of times, and I figured that at full height + ball head + camera height, the VF would be an inch or two lower than my eye level, so I could shoot comfortably standing up, either with a slight… -
Re: Buying new equipment or waiting to see what happens
Is that the 5DMk2 or 1DMk2? What are you using now? Body, lenses, lights. Probably not. Honestly, yes. No. But your site is difficult to read, difficult to navigate, the presented photos are very small so it's hard to get a real sense of them, and the first photo that popped up when I visited was horribly out of focus. If… -
Re: How much to charge for a sitting
I did a lot of extensive research of many brick & mortar photo establishments and others that I found online in my direct area. I found that out of a dozen businesses, the sitting fees averaged just over $100 (like $112 averaged over 12 businesses). Print Pricing was a little all over the map between all those business...… -
Re: To DSLR or not DSLR.
It looks like the Pentax 645 was introduced in 1984, and may have been the first to use that format? At that time I already had a Mamiya C330 and Hasselblad 500C, and I could use the 56mm square images either as square, or add cardboard cropping guides***** to allow lots of subordinate portrait and landscape crops,… -
Re: Smugmug State of the Union...
Thanks for the thoughtful response. I don't have a good idea, but I agree with your lose-lose comment to some extent. When someone new goes there, what they see makes sense, and what you get from them is what you want (most likely). However, I think after a period of time it is fundamentally discouraging to go there and… -
Re: The shutter closes for the last time
I'm sorry to hear you're not as well as you'd like but not that you are giving away the photography work. It can be a hard thing these days and so often the input in no way justifies the returns. When it get's like that it's depressing and there is little regard and satisfaction in it. You mentioned in your PM the other… -
Re: Help? Questions about full frame, switching brands and portrait photography
Hey Hamster I know your thinking about switching to FF .. Nikon/Canon/Sony.. its all cool but I was wondering if you'd thought about picking up an E-3 at least or possibly and E-5 esp as you have possibly one of the best ever zooms made by any manufacturers. I understand your "pain or more like headache" on deciding what…
