Heat and cameras - does it cuase problems?
Not sure if this is the right forum, but just wanted to get people's opinion on something. I went to India last summer in June/July at the heat of the monsoon - 47 degrees & very high humidity (very stupid, I've learnt my lesson!). I took my film SLR (Pentax MZ7) & used 100 ASA 35mm film, Kodak or Fuji I think, but can't… -
Descriptions to the right of photos in journal style
Yes, Allen, you did it for me. :lust Lots of hunting through DG for the right code. http://www.joinrats.com/START-HERE-Earn-Trust/Links/n-fm4NBC/ One question: the background color code spans the entire page, unlike the background color on, for example, the SM style gallery, which keeps the background just around the… -
PC vs Mac, Cost vs Performance
I am starting this thread in order to have an intelligent conversation about the cost vs performance of PCs and Macs. This is not about Steve Jobs, Bill Gates or their respective “cultures”. I don’t care about their culture; I care about the computer as a tool in photography. I am not a computer tech, IT person or… -
Re: New Monitor Question
Looking for a good Monitor too!!! I have been researching LCD monitors for accurate image adjustments with Photoshop CS3.

Re: Austin-San Antonio Christmas Meetup
My flow is RAW->LR2 nothing special. I keep the sharpen jacked up to about 70 with the mask at about 85 or 90 but otherwise, I'm running the LR2 defaults. I posted my PP'ed images here. Looking at your 2009 East Coast Tour images, do you nominally jack the vibrancy in your defaults? LR2 knows about lenses so if you are… -
Re: Assignment #7: DOF that bench!
This is my first attempt. These kind of assignments is very good because it makes you to have a better knowledge of the equipment and makes you think. This is far more difficult than the previous and that's good. What I found more difficult so far is to set the lens to the HD. Why? Because we have to measure the distance,… -
Re: 135L owners
You're exactly right, Richy - 1/250 is pretty much my "happy place" as a ss for the 135+7d. What's weird (and why I think it's me rather than the gear) is that sometimes I can nail a shot at 1/125 or even lower, but other times I'll be at 1/160 and there's noticeable motion! I think, particularly in portrait sessions, I… -
