Re: Buying a D700 -- Need a lens recommendation
Wide angle should be the priority for the use you describe, IMHO. I would rent a Nikon 14-24 and buy the Nikon 50mm 1.4G. The 14-24mm will make almost ANY shot look incredible. For architecture and simply capturing the story of an environment it is unbeatable. The 50mm 1.4G should be in any Nikon enthusiast bag. For after… -
Re: Fitness with Erica
Being in NY and having two actual fashion photographers as friends (one in "Vogue" type and one in catalogs) I have to sadly admit that this is dead on. I have had several STUNNING models who I discussed with each of them and the short story is 5'11 minimum for "High Fashion" and 5'8" or taller for catalog. In High Fashion… -
Tenba LL Lens case
I recently purchased a Tenba LL series lens case. As you might imagine, LL stands for "Long Lens". The case is water resistant, features a number of internal and external pockets and a monopod strap. A camera body may be left on the lens and packed inside the case. The case can be closed using either the zip or a buckle.… -
Re: Shopping for Tripod according to One's Stature??
For a start, I can count in metres only, sorry:) I have a tripod for a couple of months now. At the beginning I was after really expensive Manfrotto one, but then, first: I decided I don't want a tripod that is more posh than my camera, second: all of them I tried, touched, carried around, and they were way too heavy for a… -
Where can you legally shoot... interesting info.
Howdy y'all... not sure which forum to post this, so please feel free to move it to the correct location. Just wanted to give some people a couple of links to something that I thought was interesting and hopefully helpful info for photographers out there, young and old, pro or casual shooters alike... The first link takes… -

Re: Cobranding bug with  ?
This is definitely a bug which was acknowledged by smugmug when I mentioned it a few weeks ago via e-mail. In my case, I attempt to avoid spambots by encoding my e-mail address with alternate encoding. For example, I enter the address "mail@server.com" as & #109; & #97; & #105; & #108; & #64; & #115; & #101; & #114; &… -
Re: Great desktop specs for photo editing?
That looks like a very good price, with plenty of money to spend on a really nice monitor. The only bit of research I would suggest is to really look into that AMD processor. Intel has been trouncing AMD for so many years. I know this AMD compares nicely with the now older Core 2Duo, but you may be able to boost the… -
Re: Google dropped me like Bush in `08
Hmm, interesting. Apart from the usual HTML problems in SM's code and a script tag inside the body (yours, I think) which is also invalid I see nothing that Google or other search engines would dislike specifically. I don't know what keywords or phrases you're checking but I tried a few:* "2007 SCORE Baja 500" (with the… -
Re: How-to make photos look like these...
[edit] man do I feel like a fool :D I wasn't really paying attention and went from gus' post... silly me... Oh well, as for the question on creating strong highlights. You can do a curve adjustment to pump the highlights, unmask where you don't want to, that's it :D I'll leave the rest also here, because it might be of use…
