Re: Needing everyones help once more.
It greatly depends upon your video application. Video dSLR cameras do a fine job with indie style video, but they are poor for long format video. For instance, the Canon 5D MKII will not record more than around 12 minutes continuously at the highest settings of 1080p. If you are hoping to record an entire wedding ceremony,… -
Re: Metallic Paper
I just tried the Kodak Endura Metallic paper, and I'm very impressed. For those who haven't seen it before, it looks kind of like a foil on the colors, and a silver pearl on the whites. It certainly is not for every image... on some it adds nothing, and it even looks tacky in certain situations. But when it looks good...… -

Re: Maintenance Alert: 8/28 10:00pm - 06:00am PDT
Painfully slow (Overseas) For the past 24 hours, the site has been painfully slow. I am not writing for myself, but also on behalf of all my buddies here in HK who have signed up to smugmug due to my recommendation. It takes over a min for the site to respond at times. And sometimes, simply time out. I know overseas… -
Re: The Creative Mind and the Technical Mind - the Yin and Yang of photography
Shay - Great comment. I enjoy your work. I just hope the year of thinking artistically didn't start 20 years ago. I will have a long way to go! Lump me in with this group: IT / Process Driven / Very Analytical. In the Enneagram world, I am a 5. Or I was. In reality I am a 7. And my new process is , as Shay mentioned, to… -
Re: problem with Gormans BW conversion
Tried playing with this earlier ... classic case of "can do, can't teach" ;P It's not your fault, mercphoto ... his PDF is completely unreadable ... Basic process is: create grayscale from Lightness channel of LAB, copy shadows and fill with color then multiply blend, merge visible, apply local contrast enhancement. Hmm,… -

Re: Slideshow memory leak?
Here's what I saw for memory usage of plugin-container.exe (which is where Flash lives on Firefox/Windows). I loaded up my homepage (http://jfriend.smugmug.com) and set the browser window to a reasonable size (about 1400px wide x 1000px high). I then recorded memory usage using the Windows Task Manager and looking at home… -
Re: Are there any F1 Camera Restrictions at Indy US Grand Prix?
Thank you. It only took 300 attempts, 2 days, and a lot of trial and error. :) I could easily get hooked on this. I'd suggest try to get there when the gates open or a little after that. I think gates open at 7. If you don't have a weekend ticket, you can also pay 20 bucks for a day pass. There's hardly a line and it lasts…
