Re: Experience using Wacom tablets with Photoshop?
I'm going to get a small Wacom. I don't understand the differences between the various models. Is there any reason I should buy something better than the basic "Draw" model that costs $70? The "pro" small costs $229. I post process almost exclusively in Lightroom and NIK plugins like Silver Efex. I don't even own the full… -
Re: What do I need to attach Kirk L bracket to my tripod?
Art, I don't know that it's inherantly any more stable, but the RCO system is just used on beefier stuff in general. I have a monster tripod with the old #229 tri-axis head, and it's like a rock. Trouble is it weighs a ton. I only use it in a "studio" environment 'cause it's just too much of a pita to move around. It's not… -
Post your Art photos here
I loved the Mini Challenge #229: Public Art, and regretted I couldn't post more than 3 images, so I thought I'd start a separate thread where we all can post all the photos on this subject. If you like art and taking photos of man made art/artistic creations post them here. As in the "mini", they can be fine art paintings,… -
Re: Focusing (AF) on Canon 50D
I had to come back and update. I was on the Canon site poking around. There is some EXCELLENT information on there and sure enough it was what you were talking about here. I just played around with this tonight and I feel VERY comfortable with this. I found the settings to use the AF on the back separate from the shutter… -

Re: Canon S100 on sale
I'm very pleased with ours. We were going to grab one already, and were looking at the prices on Thanksgiving. Didn't care about the newer features of the S110. The next day, they were $229, so we each got one. Incredibly pleased with it, coming from only a P&S background and trying to learn to shoot better photos. Battery… -
Re: P&S for non-photography tasks (but not as a backup)
I agree about some of the Panasonics. The DMC-FZ8 feels like a regular camera just a bit smaller. It has 7.2 MegaPixels, 12x Optical Zoom Leica lense. My wife has one and it takes great pictures. Not much good for anything moving but what P&S really is? She was really mad about missing whale pics in Alaska last year. She… -
Re: Help me pick from a whole slew of compact cameras
If super-duper-quality isn't an issue, definitely check out The Flip (http://www.theflip.com). The non-HD versions put out nice quality 640x480 AVIs. I am really happy with my Flip Ultra for quick grabs around the house. At $149.00 it was a no-brainer. I haven't seen the new HD unit, but it looks promising. At $229, an HD… -
Recommend Panoramic / QVTR Head
I'm in need of a cylindrical panoramic tripod head that allows you to shot in the portrait (vertical) orientation to shot virtual home tours. Yesterday I found and priced the Manfrotto 303SPH and, while appearing to be a mechanical marvel, its $459 price tag is way out of my league. I see other much cheaper solutions on… -
Re: Lens for birds? I need some help
If you are doing birding you probably need something that gets close to the 300mm range. Looks like the options available in your price range are: Pentax: 75-300 4.5-5.8: $130 Tamron: 70-300 4-5.6 DI: $170 Sigma: 70-300 4-5.6: $229 135-400 4.5-5.6: $590 170-500 5-6.3: $770 Seems like those are the lenses available for that…
