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… -
Re: Remove 1000 Keyword Limit [Limit raised to 5000]
I am happy. I can have unlimited keywords (30 per image) and the option not to show them. But if I change my mind I would like to have it in my hand which to show, without to much manual work. Because some of my images might hold useless keywords (like germany, animals) which would make them prominent in a keyword list. I… -
New Mall (Simi Valley)
Opened just before this Thanksgiving, this is third and, according to the media, the biggest mall in Ventura county. Conveniently located just off Hwy 118 at the First St exit, this mall features two usual department giants (Macy's and Robinson's May) at the ends connected with the series of other fashion and design… -
Re: Flashpoint 620M
The guide number (GN) of a studio strobe varies with the reflector/modifier used. The GN of 282, for the 1820A, is probably with the standard 8" frosted aluminum reflector. I am unsure about the FOV coverage for this reflector but I believe it will cover a 35mm lens on a FF camera. By comparison the Canon 580EX GN of 190…
