Road Trip to Yellowstone & More
We just finished a 12-day road trip to Yellowstone National Park & other places along the way. 4004 miles round trip. We've been resting for a couple of days, but I think I am still exhausted. I've hardly begun to even look at the pictures I took, but at least I got them all off the cameras and onto the computer. Well...at… -
The Samich Run
This is the 5th annual Sammich Run. It was an idea I had come up with years back. Basically I wanted to get my friends to skate through San Francisco with me. But a lot of them stopped skating for one reason or another. Also I wanted to do something to help the homeless whenever I went and skated through San Francisco.… -
Case study - sharpening and noise
After reading this article by Dan Margulis I got very excited and thought I'd apply to a problem image of mine that's been vexing me recently. The image was shot for the current challenge and captures the sin of envy (there is some controversy about how well, but that's a different story.) The image has three problems:*… -
Re: Slow Uploads?

Re: Quick Motorcycle Loop Around Mexico
Northbound Silver December 19, 2008 Taxco, Guerrero Mexico It should have been an easy half-day cruise from old-world Oaxaca to the ancient silver mining city of Taxco, but without a direct route, and figuring there was sufficient time, I lounged until noon before twisting the throttle out of the last intersection heading… -
Re: Doing my first bridal show this weekend!
Thanks! I have totally read that several times:D Well, I went 16X20s for two reasons-size and cost. I don't have a lot of money at the moment for this, so my booths this year are small, 8X8 spaces. With the 16X20s, I can squeeze in more of them on my back "wall" and they will look bigger because the space is small. Plus,… -
Re: How RAW can you go???
Catherine - When you open a RAW image, found in the FILE BROWSER window, you will see a dialogue box that looks like this ... You can see from the title bar at the top that this image came from a Canon 1DMkii .CR2 image - shot at ISO 100 1/250 f5.6 200mm -- Nikon images will read NEF, of course. The color space the image… -
Re: Anyone using the LowePro FlipSide300 Backpack?
My take on camera bags... There are camera bags which are good for storage and for traveling with your camera equipment and bags which are good for carrying equipment while shooting. they are not necessarily the same bag. When I am out shooting, I do not need to carry all of my gear. As an example, I don't need to carry my… -
Re: Computer Monitor vs. TV.
re Calibrate for accurate color? Maybe, maybe not. I struggle to get our households' Samsung TN panel monitor to look reasonable where with my Samsung PVA panel I have no issues. ............... Most Samsung 23" units use a 6bit TN TFT LCD panel. One model, the F2380, uses a c-PVA panel. In terms of image quality for photo… -
Re: Lens or flash?
I would get a flash... As I understand your posting - you already have the 28-135mm f/3.5-5.6 IS lens. That lens, while perhaps not quite in the category of the 17-55mm f/2.8 IS or the 24-70mm f/2.8L lenses; is a very good performer. I used this lens for several years and still have it. Frankly, I think the performance of…
