Re: How I Curved Your Shot
Thanks a lot for the explanation Gary, I really appreciate the time you have taken to describe your processing. Ok, I have found a problem with my original inversion of the negative so here is take 2... I have pieced together a calibration process to give linear output that I was hoping would reduce the need for major… -
Re: Wife says $1,500. What do I do?
Another Nikon user chiming in... I have both a Nikon D80 and a D300. Both are great cameras! (I think it is pretty easy to argue that the D300 is the best prosumer camera out there right now but I don't recommend you lie to your wife to get it) But as all the posts have indicated, both Nikon and Canon (and I am sure… -
Re: Need Advice Quickly on second shooter rights

Like new Averatec AV3360-EH1 512MB 80GB 12.1" DVD +/-RW with WiFi (IEEE 802.11g)
I bought this laptop in April in preparation for a two-week vacation to France so I could download photos and process them with Photoshop CS2.

Re: Thinking about going on a roadtrip across USA, tips?

Though you can get across the US in that time frame you will miss many many sites and not have much time to meet people. Here are my thoughts on your questions DO NOT do a used car! Rent a mini… -

Hmmm In the film world, 35mm was based on motion picture stock. Still cameras used far larger stock at the time. Partially because of technical needs and partially because that was the standard.
