Re: Peking Duck, CC please
Thank you for the compliments. I really wanted to come up with something that wouldn't look out of place in Nat Geo or something. I wanted a lot more than just a pop up flash, face in a cave snap shot that the other tourists were shooting. For these shots, an off camera SB-600 was used. In the kitchen shots, this was… -
Re: studio printing vs. pro-lab??? A million and 1 questions.
"the printer" is actually you. Printing is like shooting. Equipment is like 10% of the result. Operator skill is 90%. For you to consistently equal WHCC on your own printer, you will probably need to study and master the printing workflow and color management. How to create a file that prints well, how to coordinate your… -
Re: SmugMug Feature Requests #2
Here are some of the ways it falls short:* Random gallery order (or at least it seems random to me). * No way to see category or sub-category name of a gallery or view by category/sub-category. I have multiple galleries named "Highlights" because each of my events usually has one. I also have lots of galleries named "Sara"… -
Re: Help me buy into a system!
If you really don't have to have the extra 5+ MP of the 50D, I would suggest picking up a gently used 40D and putting the savings on the body towards more lenses. :D For UWA, I definitely would recommend the Tokina 12-24/4. If you're OK with picking up used gear, you can pick up one of the originals (version I) for about… -
Re: Phoenix Trip
I'll try Ian. My family traveled from Spokane, Washington, USA to Phoenix, Arizona leaving Tuesday, July 24th and returning on Sunday, July 29th. The total mileage traveled is a bit over 3000 miles. Fairly significant for a family "trip". We traveled by 2 cars and averaged a bit over 700 miles per day. We used the… -
Re: dSLR video n00b articles sought
I like how you and some others here at DGRIN seem to be able to narrow down things into succinct understandable terms. It is a gift I do not have. Since you sold me that little Canon/Kenko tele, you know my story of why I came to own a 5Dmk2. And what I have found is, the more I dig, the more I realize I haven't even… -
Re: Neutralizing color cast in shadows on white uniforms
Thanks for taking the time to look and comment and for the reassurance that the 2nd image is acceptable. My personal preference though is to try and tone down the cast more which is what I am struggling with. While in the setting of the gym the physics of the situation certainly creates a cast and our perception of the… -
Re: #29 - "Memories"
Honest C&C, I'm not feeling this one. If you want to have a realistic shot at winning one of these things you really have to bring your A game. The competition is pretty fierce. I should now, I've never managed to win one. And I'm oozing with so much talent that my awesomeness actually radiates in some sort of… -
Re: Building your own computer
I have built several computers for friends and family. Let me say up front that if you are building a system to save money, you won't. The Dell's and HP's at lower price points are inexpensive because they are subsidized by all the "trailware" (most call it crapware) that is loaded on the machines. But if you are building… -
Re: White birds, comments?
You know what has happened, I think. The birds have moved, so I did, too. There used to be a bunch closer in nesting on a couple of trees right where I came in. Now they are all at a 90 degree angle (I think that is right. It is like a big square and you can only walk effectively on two sides.) I am now walking past where…
