Re: Las Vegas area
Somebody should have asked this first! So what are you guys planning on shooting? Cars? Models? etc? Within the confines of LV, Red Rock Canyon (link) is definitely a great place to do a shoot at. You can reach RRC by heading West on Chalreston Blvd., past the 215 freeway, and it will be located on your right hand side.… -
Re: Moving from LightRoom to Bridge/CS3
You're a DB guy but you don't trust a database Plus, as was already mentioned, you can save the info in XMP sidecar files (LR can do it automatically, actually), if you want. It's slower, but then again Bridge is as well. LR doesn't actually use MySQL as the engine. It uses an embedded database called SQLite. Still, sure,… -
Re: Different types of metering
Tember, each type of metering can be useful for specific purposes, or specific photographic needs. A sledge hammer and a tack hammer are both tools, but one may be better for a specific task than another. Spot metering can allow precise exposure for a specific area, but MAY contribute to an incorrect exposure in other… -
Re: Trip Report - Patriots-Bills
If you actually believed that the last post would be "the last post", guess again. Just because I said "let's wrap this thang up"?? Boy are you gullible. Sheesh. I realized a moment ago that there may be some among, or amongst, you who are wondering if there was actually a football game, or if 50,000 folks just wanted to… -
Re: Looking for Good Quality Point-and-Shoot
Hi Charles, Here's a comprehensive dpreview of the high-end compacts: http://www.dpreview.com/reviews/Q408enthusiastgroup/ Like others have said in this thread and on this board, the debate often comes down to the Panasonic LX3 and the Canon G10. Both are excellent, and afford the manual control and image quality that… -
Re: Implied Motion - Waterfall
I know of a good read...... and it ain't in the book store. I am a self taught photographer, 2 years and a little more under my belt only, but I think i'm doing better and better all the time (not to toot any horns there, I still suck compared to a lot of folks). I have learned everything (or near enough) through photo… -
Re: Manual Focusing?
B Rock - the truth is that 95+% of all images you see shot today are captured with AutoFocus. Manual focusing ( unless for specific purposes - say with Tilt and Shift lenses ) is rarely done anymore. There are good reasons for this also. Properly used, modern AF is usually faster, more accurate, and works better in dimmer… -

Is it me, or my gear? C&C (of sorts) requested.
I am not a n00b when it comes to macro, but since going digital this spring I am beginning to wonder if my new camera is revealing the limitations of my gear or my technique. Or maybe my expectations exceed the laws of physics. I've been using a D200 with the Micro-Nikkor 200 f/4 IF I bought many years ago. It is capable…
